I thought someone on TB had a tie to the Mothman. They need to come forward so we can learn all of its dark secrets!
I lol'd
You laugh now, but when the stars are ready for the return of the Old Ones, Great Cthulhu will once again come forth and all the earth will flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.
YMMV, of course.
This Bass is in Carrol County, MD. Where it belongs.
+1. Yog-Sothoth Rules!
Yeah, that thing DOES rather evoke Cthulu, doesn't it?
But what of the woman... is she a mere supplicant, or a sacrifice in the waiting?
Does the Mothman *hunger* for cougar flesh?

the Moose is making whatever noise Mooses (Meese? Moosi? AGH!) make.
Someone needs to buy this thing and burn it. That would make an awesome video.![]()

A long time ago back when I was trying to sell it on Ebay, I was looking on the net to see if I could get any more info on the bass. At that time I couldnt remember what the name of the luthier was. I ended up finding a link to TB and I didnt mind all the bashing of the bass but felt bad about the things being said about my daughter-in-law. (PS it was her Idea to pose like that. I had taken a few pics of her fully dressed days before she took those pics)
On 10/31 I relisted it on CL and someone from TB sent a message telling me that the Mothman had become a popular subject. This time I really enjoyed all the input from you TBers and started following the thread. At this time I was reluctant to tell you I was the owner. Part because of the girl bashing and part because I was enjoying all the mystery involved with the thread. I decided that I would contact Myidol since he seemed the most interested. I thought that would give him a clue that the posting for Guyfergy was the same person. I watched the posting from him but saw nothing. At this time I decided to list my equipment in my profile to see if that would give it away and Quadzilla caught on. My guess at this point is that he was in contact with Myidol and he started checking into my profile and matched the equipment on my list to the pictures that were on Ebay. It seems that everyone else blew off his findings but he wasnt fooled at this point. I left a few bread crumbs and he found the whole loaf. My hats off to Quadzilla, good detective work.
Okay now, Ill answer any questions about the Mothman
I can't remember, is this an old pic or her triumphant return? If it's the latter then I was personally [DEL]expecting[/DEL] hoping to see her in a metal bikini with a chain around her neck.
