Well you might have thought this was going to be about the election based on the title. Perhaps how "weird" it is that these two guys are the "best" men for the job out of the entire population of the U.S. Well it isn't.
Well most my readers know I am big fan of the local publication WEIRD N.J. in fact I have brought issues out for my friends to read on many occassions. I know some of my readers even read it on their own. Anyway, if you don't know what the magazine is about its out twice a year Oct, and May it talks about strange roads, legands, folklore, abandoned wharehouses, places where the NJ devil supposedly lives, UFO sightings of the the years, midgets, and freaks that live in the woods and mess with people.
Honestly, I don't believe half of what I read. However, its fun to see how the legends get the changed, and different people debunk of confirm the stories. They magazine is really interseting and a even people that don't think ALIENS have shown up yet can get something out of it. They show road side oddites like robots made of junk, big statues, bizarre sayings written on trees, and they even wrote a great (and freaky) article about a cold case of a missing girl years ago. The case is now reopened despite still not knowing if who or why she was killed, but the details around it are crazy.
Anyway, to get to the point the two guys who started out (they also have a book) are doing a spin-off book WEIRD U.S. ,a nd they were asked to film a special for the History Channel that will air tonight at 10 30 pm est.
If the show goes over well, it will become a series. Good for them! Although, I am worried that it will lose its NJ appeal, they assure their fans that WEIRD NJ will still be around.
In the newest issue (now at newstands) people might be saddened to hear that The Swampman or "Swampy" the man who roamed around in the creek in woods near the Deptford Mall, was arrested after attacking someone. The police said he was believed to be living in the woods bettween 10-2o years.
He was sent to ancora and the incident was even in the newspapers I am told. So, don't bother looking in the woods by the mall anymore for "Swampy" because, he is gone. I feel cheated that I never got to see him. They said he wore several layers of clothes, and attached pieces of trash to his body and ate out of dumpsters by the mall.
So, don't forget to tune into Weird US tonight at 10 30 on the History Channel!
Poor Swampy....
