So, the long awaited "Bobby Clarke Bigfoot Video" was finally aired on May 4th, and as expected, A Current Affair's flair for carnival like reporting, made a mockery of it
Adding insult to injury, the host of A Current Affair announced that they would be sending a team of trackers made up of members of the scientific, zoological, and journalistic communities to Norway House, Manitoba in search of Bigfoot."After ‘A Current Affair’ unleashed videotape across America of the latest sighting of the infamous Bigfoot, the scientific, zoological and journalistic communities have united in the excitement of discovery — and now in an expedition to confirm the existence of this entity." ACAThe ACA promo clip for the expedition introduces the assembled team members.- Dr. Franklin Ruehl, host of Mysteries From Beyond The Other Dominion leads the team.Donning a pith helmet, and what appears to be a winter coat, (in studio in California) Dr. Ruehl admits there`ll be dangers..."the flight is about 500 miles, and eh, I don`t know if it`ll be a bi-plane, or...we`re ah, we`re gonna have to say our prayers going up there.". He continues, "When we start hiking up there, it could be snowing, we could run into a blizzard, perhaps other creatures are up there, a wild moose..." ( Wild Moose, not the domesticated variety. )- Cherie Currie, legendary rock and roll singer, and chain saw artist."This modern day Fay Rae, is determined to be the bigfoot bait. A beauty brave enough to lure the beast from it`s hiding place." - ACA"Let`s rock and roll" says Cherie,"It`s probably as big as this rock!" ( enough said )- Brett Hudson, A Current Affair producer "who managed to track down the Bigfoot video, and bring it to the world" - ACA ( If he can track down an obscure video, with nothing more than international news reports to go by, he can damn well track down Bigfoot, I`d say! )And there we have it, folks, the representatives of the scientific, zoological and journalistic communities who have united in this expedition to confirm the existence of the illusive Sasquatch.…Now, to set the record straight, I have been told that neither the Clarke family, nor Matt Moneymaker of the BFRO knew anything about this "excursion". Nor was Moneymaker`s expertise called upon to aid this merry band of Bigfoot hunters. Apparently, Moneymaker, director of The Bigfoot Field Research Organization, hadn`t the artistic chain saw abilities needed for an expedition of this magnitude.Sharness Henry, Bobby Clarke`s sister, told me that she had no idea "they`d (A Current Affair) make it so Cheesy. Some other show could have done better"."The BFRO is not involved in their Manitoba "expedition", nor was the trip planned at all. The New Jersey office for Current Affair told the unit producer that he would be leading the "expedition" only a half hour before the announcement was made on the program ... Then he had only a few more hours to catch a plane." He continues, "The unit producer, Brett Hudson, is currently headed up to Norway House to meet with a 3-man video crew from New Jersey. So it's a four man "expedition" with no preparation or expert assistance." Matt Moneymaker, BFRO website,Perhaps due to Moneymakers statement, the team`s representative from the "scientific community", Dr.Ruehl, has now indeed joined the team in Norway House. Although the ACA promo clip showed images of the team bushwhacking their way through the wilds of Northern Manitoba, the good Dr. was spotted chatting up the staff at the local KFC...Purchasing Bigfoot bait no doubt.Okay, let`s get serious. I don`t believe Clarke had any idea of the style of show he was handing his footage over to. A Current Affair isn`t broadcast in Canada. I do know that although others such as CNN, CBC TV, and MSN made inquiries, the only one to actually send a representative to Norway House, was A Current Affair.In my opinion, this sighting is credible enough to warrant serious study. Note I said "sighting". Yes the video was the most intriguing aspect to Clarke`s claim, but it should have been classified as supporting evidence of the sighting, rather than the other way around.For instance, Sharness Henry has stated that some local hunters did cross the river to look for any physical evidence, but footprints were highly unlikely...The tree line rests at the water`s edge. The depth of the water where it meets land is 4 feet... 4 FEET. In order for someone to retrace the steps of the figure Clarke taped, they would have to be tall enough to wade through 4 feet of water without their thighs being completely submerged. Although extremely blurry, there are glimpses of the figures stride, and arms swinging. Neither it`s lower arms, or upper thighs appear to be submerged.Could this have been a hoaxer, say on stilts of some kind? Highly doubtful. Besides having to avoid tripping over the usual debris on river and lake beds, especially where the tree line is so close, there would be the problem of sinking in the silt, and maintaining muscle control after being submerged in icy water for more than 3 minutes. There`s also the drag that 4 feet of frigid water would have on the hoaxer`s gait. This is just one element of the sighting which should be investigated, and reported.As for our brave team of adventurers who at this very moment may be fending off wild moose, blizzards, and line-ups at KFC....May the force be with you!

"A Current Affair is bringing this story to the world with a little bit of show business pizzazz-- but a whole lot of scientific and journalistic expertise."
Right, as opposed to, say, The Discovery Channel or National Geographic. Come on, this is A Current Affair we're talking about! If they really wanted to take this seriously they'd have someone (ANYONE) other than Dr. Ruehl out in the field leading the "expedition". ACA is only trying to boost their ratings, that's it and that's all. I don't think Dr. Ruehl is a bad person, or unintelligent, and I happen to lean more toward the eccentrics myself, but to use him of all people SERIOUSLY undermines any authenticity that this story may have once had. The general public take things at face value, and if ACA was really serious about studying the Norway House sighting, they'd be more aware of the credibility factor, which they've essentially crapped all over.
So no, I can't share your optimistic appraisal of ACA's sensationalistic handling of this.
27 - goodstory
Have you watched the Discovery Channel lately?
Why is National Geographic not on this story?
And who are you to criticize Dr. Franklin R. Ruehl, Ph.D., nuclear physicist, cryptozoologist, anomalist, paranormal expert, one of the Sci Fi channel's original hosts and host of the long-running, legendary program, Mysteries from Beyond the Other Dominion.
Bigfoot is Dr. Ruehl's bailywick. This man, who has climbed down the ivy walls of academia to invesitgate the unknown is far better equipped to bring out testimony and ferret out evidence than any of your so-called experts from Discovery (Steve Irwin, perhaps?).
Remember Truman Capote, that silly little man in a hat, who walked into that town in Kansas. Peopl emade fun of him, but he brought back "In Cold Blood."
Doctor Ruehl CARES about this story. This story could cement his reputation. After all the years of being laughed at for pursuing avenues that his colleagues thought outlandish-- now he is there.
Shame on you all! If A Current Affair wanted ratings, they'd buy the Mary Kay LaTourneau tape or chase Michael Jackson around.
Instead, they, alone, with no competition, by themselves, expending money on satellites and tracking devices alike, are on the trail of the greatest mystery in cryptozoolical circles.
And you, on the dole, batting away on your keyboard like know-it-alls, putting down your one shot at credibility.
A Current Affair has "crapped all over" the Bigfoot story?
The only thing that's crapped is Bigfoot himself-- and "A Current Affair" is analyzing the dropings!
Hooray for A Current Affair!
Thank you for taking the care to investigate!
Yes, yes, yes, Cherie Currie!
Dr. Ruehl, well... RULES!
And a double "boooo" to the naysayers!
28 - Sharness Henry
who is this Cherie Currie?? what is she supposed to do up here??
29 - HW Saxton
Cherie Currie is the ex-lead singer from
the all female band:"The Runaways".
Joan Jett and Lita Ford were also from
this band originally.They are much more
talented than Ms Currie.
They (The Runaways) were managed by Kim
Fowley,who may or may not be related to
saquatch.
30 - goodstory
Ms. Currie was in the very successful rock band The Runaways thirty years ago.
Her accomplishments are varied and impressive.
Please do your research before writing her off.
31 - Annie
Goodstory, can you please explain to me which of Ms.Currie`s many accomplishments would qualify her for tracking a bigfoot?
32 - HW Saxton
Oh OK,Cherie C. was also in some crappy
movies besides being in a crappy rock
band. Enough research.
PS: I saw The Runaways open the show for
The Ramones in 1978 at the Santa Monica
Civic Auditorium. They sucked.
33 - JRG
Don't believe any of goodstory's ranting pitches for ACA. Anyone who has access to the show need only watch it one time to see what kind of tabloid trash it presents. Trying to make it sound like ACA is interested in the story or the people of Norway House for any other reason than ratings is a downright lie. And what does nuclear physics have to do with bigfoot anyway!? Dr Ruehl is far less qualified than anyone from BFRO or any of the serious research groups. (Besides being a flake!)
Shame on you goodstory!
34 - goodstory
No... no... shame on YOU... JRG... shame... shame... shame!
The BFRO has no "experts." What makes them "serious"?
You don't know what you are talking about, casting stones from your anonymous perch.
A Current Affair is "trash"? Shame, shame shame.
A Current Affair is the last show to break down the barriers and cover stories no one else cares about!
You should be cheering on A Current Affair, not knocking down the one good show that's left.
Do you think Inside Edition, The Today Show, Anderson Cooper, The O'Reilly Factor, 20/20, Dateline, Prime Time Live, 60 Minutes, or even your local news would deign to cover this story?
Shame, JRG, shame, shame!
And Dr. Ruehl is no flake. Spenf a few minutes in hius presence, check out his Internet column, "Ask Dr. Ruehl," and bow to his genius, his wisdom, his insouiscience.
God bless Dr. Ruehl!
All hail Cherie Currie!
Huzzahs for A Current Affair!
Bigfoot! Bigfoot! They'll find you despite the bloggy critics!
Why is it that the naysayers resort to name-calling?
35 - JRG
It is getting clearer...I think Goodstory is Dr Ruehl.
36 - gonzo marx
goodstory sez..
*Why is it that the naysayers resort to name-calling?*
and yet in comment #27 goodstory sez..
*And you, on the dole, batting away on your keyboard like know-it-alls, putting down your one shot at credibility.*
can we say "hypocrisy" ??
it gets even more fun..
goodstory sez..
*expending money on satellites and tracking devices alike*
so we are to believe that a current affair is now launching their own satellites for this expedition?
also..could you answer Annie's question above?..which of Cherrie Currie's accomplishments makes her so eminently qualified for sasquatch tracking?
on and on...
another commercial shill whose word per minute count is higher than the IQ behind the keyboard..
nuff said?
Excelsior!
37 - goodstory
It is no shame to be on the dole.
It is a shame to resort to name-calling.
When I say "satellites," I refer to the purchase of satellite feed tiome in order to transmit the historic footage of the Bigfoot expedition to the main A Current Affair headquarters, for broadcast around the nation.
There are other uses of satellite technology in tracking the Bigfoot beast, but that will be revealed at a later date.
Cheri Currie's accomplishments as an artist (see chainsawchick.com for a mere taste of her prowess) are among the reasons she was chosen for this expedition (Dr. Ruehl was only one of the scientific community who was part of the expedition. Historcially, a member of the artistic community should always be there for such momentous events, to record the findings for future generations). Also, think of the "schoolteacher in space" concept, or, more obviously, the Anaconda series). She has other qualifications that will be revealed.
And, no, sadly I am not Dr. Ruehl. He is in the wild, far from Internet access.
I am no shill, not paid for my words.
But I am a supporter of discovery, and excited at what A Current Affair is about to reveal.
Rally 'round!
Hoorah! Hoorah! A Current Affair!
The fairest show of all! And the most current of the lot!
Hoorah! Hoorah! A Current Affair!
We thank you for bringing back the evidence that will make the nay-sayers believe!
38 - JRG
Goodstory/Dr Ruehl:
Any new evidence that is brought forth regarding the existence of Bigfoot must be credible. Those that are convinced or are fence sitters on Bigfoot would welcome some new, credible evidence. (Most of those that are "nay-sayers" you can't convince without producing a smelly body) The thing is - ACA has a credibilty problem. I think most that are studying the BF phenomenon are not interested in a "humerous" presentation of the story. That just minimizes any "discoveries" or "new evidence" because those who are not real interested in BF (ie the general public) will simply wave it off as a bunch of horse shi* presented by a bunch of fruitcakes.
I apologize for calling Dr Ruehl a flake. I do not know the man. I do know nuclear physics (I worked in the nuclear field for 8 years - with reactors) and understand the intellect required to obtain a PhD in the field, but using a man as eccentric as Dr Ruehl who has probably never been in a forest as remote and wild as the area around Norway House doesn't help the credibilty problem.
You seem to know a lot about the ACA investigation. Why don't you fill us in on how? Or are you just trying to convince us to watch ACA?

I had a big crush with Cherie Currie when i saw the movie foxes with jodie foster. She was hot hot hot hot.
and anyone who knows rock, knows that she was in a group with lita ford and joan jett.

the movie "Foxes". She just can't sing.

I still don't understand why she's here!! WHO CARES if she used to be in some crappy band!! Are these the people supposed to be the real deal??? or making fun of the whole thing?? <<<

They should have included peewee herman in this big adventure.
did anyone catch an update from ACA on todays really big shew?
why didnt ACA send up some scientists who research this cryptozoological phenomenumanum?

WELL! ANY WHO! YOU GUYS THE EXPEDITION HAS COME TO A CONCLUSION APPARENTLY,I SEEN YOUR BELOVED DR.RHUEL AND HIS SIDEKICK CHERI[poor goodstory,I feel for you that he has left us,the staff at the Kfc are still in tears as I am typing this...oh well!]. dragging their sorry asses into a cab with what,who knows ,who cares.....just as long as they're outta here,gone,good riddance,aloha,what ever....they're history. Did anybody notice that there was no update today ....I wonder what happened? Eh! GOODSTORY... In the words of your hero goodstory"MAY THE COSMOS BE WITH YOU" URGH!!..CHEEZY....

Current Affair really needs to get some credibility back from its previous incarnation.
They need Bill O'Reilly back!

...........OFF INTO THE SUNSET HE RIDES......LOL---WITH AN EVIL LAUGH!!
47 - cc
How could Dr Rhuel and Cheri Currie have left Norway House? Moneymaker said that they were never leaving Los Angeles.
48 - goodstory
Bill O'Reilly never worked for A Current Affair.
He is the former host of the competing show, Inside Edition.
If Paul Reubens had expressed interest in joining the Bigfoot expedition, he would have been welcome.
He would have been just as qualified as any member of the BFRO.
A Current Affair has never had a credibility problem. I understanjd thatthe New York Times falsified many stories, that CBS News used forged documents, that NBC faked a reenactment on its Dateline series and that Mitch Albom falsified a column in Detroit, but I have never heard that A Current Affair had any problems with truthfulness or credibility.
To the contrary, A Current Affair is the one news magazine series that goes where others do not dare. the broadcast that takes chances, explores the unknown, and covers stories no one else realizes are important.
Shame on all of you, shame shame shamedy shame!
You will see why there was no update on today's broadcast. You will see what A CurrentAffair has discovered and you willeat a nice meal of crow.
Perhaps next time one of you sees a UFO or wonders what made a crop circle in your field, the good people at A Current Affair will say, "Hmmm... why not let Bob Scheiffer or George Stephanopolis go after the story?"
You are no blog critics. You are blog cynics, and I for one am very, very disappointed that there is such jealousy, backbiting and just plain meanspritedness among the pocket-protector class.
All hail A Current Affair!
We beg of thee, do not leave the paranormal behind!
Dr. Ruehl, we thank you!
Cherie Currie, we defend your honor! They know not of your expertise, and certainly know little of the history of rock n roll!
Oh Bigfoot, oh Bigfoot, you have been proven at last.... and goodstory for one... was on your side!

51 - JRG
I still think Goodstory is Dr Ruehl...or some person who wants to be him real bad...
Some statements made by Dr Ruehl:
"...Competition! Competition! Competition! This is the unspoken word, the true reason ..."
Dr Ruehl's "qualifications" from Tabloidbaby.com:
"Dr. Franklin Ruehl, author of the popular Tabloidbaby.com column, "Ask Dr. Ruehl," and mainstream television star, cult figure and American idol thanks his numerous appearances on "The New Tom Green Show, probes countless questions on his cable TV show, "Mysteries from beyond the Other Dominion." He holds a Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from UCLA and writes the weekly "Weird Science" column for the Sun supermarket tabloid."
"May the Power of the Cosmos be with
You!"
Some goodstory comments:
"All hail A Current Affair!"
"Shame on all of you, shame shame shamedy shame!"
"Bigfoot! Bigfoot! They'll find you despite the bloggy critics!"
Notice any similarity in the phrasing?
Notice any similarity in the dementia?
(Sorry about that one Goodstory/Ruehl):-)
52 - gridbug
"mighty goodstory, mighty goodstory...what a creature"
Now THAT'S funny! :D
I think that for all intents and purposes we should just write off the Manitoba Footage as a could-have-been and hope that once the dust clears, some independant investigators will head up there and look into it without the "assistance" of a crap tabloid show and a wacky assortment of eccentric whozits.
Thanks to Sharness and motleycree for their continued updates!
53 - JRG
I agree gridbug, it's been fun!
54 - Blobby
For all in tents and porpoises i think it has been quite a ride so far. The best thing to come out of this so far is Cherie Currie. She is still hot even after a fake booby job. I think the sasquatch migrated some place else, far away from that god for saken land. or did it!?
55 - goodstory
For the final time, I will say that I am not the esteemed Dr. Franklin Ruehl. Believe me, if I were, I would proclaim the fact proudly.
I am but a humble observer, both of the Bigfoot expedition, and the hooha and hubbub surrounding it.
It's too bad there are so many who would put down a television show like "A Current Affair, and call it "cr-ppy."
You will have to watch and see the results, and then you will apologize, one by one, post by post, and realize that A Current Affair is the best thing to come down the pike since Strange Universe.
And too few appreciated that show until it was gone.
Thanks to JRG, who has surely repented from his earlier slings, I have been ableto peruse tabloidbaby.com.
I did not know of its existence. I urge you all to view it, and learn the true value of the genre.
Mighty A Current Affair!
Mighty A Current Affair!

Say goodstory, you get a prescription for that awfully deranged glee or are you just riding the "natural high" of your beloved ACA?
W E I R D.
58 - Skeptix
I dunno guys. This all looks pretty weak.
You've got a wizzened old Gandalf-esque PHD, a chick whose qualifications include gigging around with Joan Jett and making carvings with chain saws, and a tv producer who's probably missing his BMW right now.
These three do not make a stellar hunting expedition in my opinion. They've probably found a steaming pile left behind by some redneck hunter.
Unless you get a truly financed and dedicated team of hunters (a la Jurassic Park II), the only thing they're going to find are broken twigs and a case of the sniffles. Let's face it, this trip up to Manitoba is really just to keep interest in the story so that people continue to view A Current Affair.
Now, if a team of big game hunters and Navy Seals set out together, I may have faith that they'd find more than a busted twig and a pile of crap.
59 - goodstory
A final, perhaps, note to you all:
The expedition members have returned safely to Los Angeles.
After thorough examinations at the UCLA Medical Center, they were found to be in perfect health, and the brave trio were feted to a gala welcome home party at The Explorers Club, where kudos, toasts and many stories were traded.
Now, kind readers and viewers, stay tuned, for their discoveries will be announced, their evidence will be handed over to the true experts, and history will be made at a packed news conference this week.
And there is this:
By Jim Benson -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/10/2005
Twentieth Television has cleared A Current Affair in 10 additional markets, bringing the half-hour strip’s clearances to 54 markets representing 60% of the country. Twentieth is aiming for a full national rollout of the revived syndicated newsmagazine, hosted by Tim Green, by January 2006.
Stations gearing up for a fall launch of Affair are CBS affiliates WTKR Norfolk, Va., and KVIQ Eureka, Calif.; Fox affiliates WTNZ Knoxville, Tenn., KVRR Fargo, N.D., KQDS Duluth, Minn., and KCVU Chico-Redding, Calif.; and NBC affiliates KVOA Tucson, Ariz., and KDLT Sioux Falls, S.D.
Hurrah for A Current Affaor!
Mighty Bigfoot! Mighty Bigfoot!
What a creature!
And now, let us join in a rousing chorus in tribute (to the tune of "Waitin' for The Robert E Lee"):
"Ohhh... way up in Norway house in old Manitoby,
there's Hudson and Cherie, the Doctor and Bobby,
On a moonlight night you can find them all.
While they are waitin', tracking devices syncopatin'
"Oh, what's that they're sayin'?
Oh, what's that they're sayin'?
While they keep on searchin', while others nay-sayin',
it's the big, hairy Bigfoot out there, to bring glory to A Current Af-fair.
"Ah-ha-ha, watch them movin' along, see them trudgin' along!
Go take your best gal, your real pal, go up to Manitoby,
I said to Manitoby, we'll join that search party, and we'll join that history-makin'' throng.
Hear that Bigfoot theme song.
It's simply great, mate,

How can I get a job doing public relations for A Current Affair? Do they pay well? Does it matter that I live in Canada, where ACA is not broadcast? Do I get free cheerleading rah rah lessons during my job training?

Well, well, well...
First off, thanks goodstory for the plug...and some of you for the kind words.... as for some of the rest of
you, you're clueless.
What qualifies me to have gone on this expo is that the producers thought I could handle it and I did. Hell, I've had to deal with people with small minds and small 'you know what's' all my life. And don't knock The Runaways. We did more for women in rock than anyone else and paid dearly for it. It took more guts than you could imagine. So... A Current Affair needed a strong woman and they chose me.
After we trekked into the swampy marsh for a few hours we found evidence of this creature. It was an eye opening experience to say the least. I didn't expect to become a believer but now I am. The campy spin wasn't my choice. After the things we saw we are hoping ACA adapts a more serious tone. Depending on how ACA edits this piece, hopefully you will walk away a believer too.

Hi Cherie,
I can appreciate your accomplishments, but how do they apply to hunting for a Bigfoot? What exactly did you do on this expedition?
Did you have anyone with you who had any real experience in tracking, or collecting evidence?
Yes, "Goodstory" has told us that you were returning with feces and hair samples, and that soon "history will be made". It would be wonderful if he`s right, but...You do realize that these samples aren`t the first?
"I have by now a dozen purported sasquatch hair samples, all morphologically congruent (which rules out hoaxing) and all effectively indistinguishable from a human hair of the particular structure (great variability is available among the latter). DNA extracted from both hair shaft or roots (hair demonstrably fresh) was too fragmented to permit gene sequencing. That characteristic is also sometimes found in human hair that lacks the medulla (as does sasquatch hair - at least what I am willing to identify as such).
I am concentrating now on blood or tissue, as the hair holds no promise. Feces do so even less, since the DNA collecting has to be done while they are practically steaming fresh, and it is improbable in the extreme that anybody with fecal DNA expertize would stumble onto fresh sasquatch droppings." - Dr. W. Henner Fahrenbach

Hi Cherie. I want to marry you. How did you like working with Jodie Foster in Foxes? Do you still keep in contact with the other chicks from the runnaways?

"DNA collecting has to be done while they are practically steaming fresh, and it is improbable in the extreme that anybody with fecal DNA expertize would stumble onto fresh sasquatch droppings..."
Oh, Annie, dear Annie, get a grip!
You offer testimony from Dr. W. Henner Fahrenbach. Why is he more credible than Dr. Franklin R. Ruehl? Because his initial precedes his name?
You assume that "goodstory" is a male.
You assume that everyday people working within scientific parameters cannot properly bring back evidence. Cherie Currie was brought on this journey as a civilian, as an artist, as a woman, as an eyewitness and as a brave, strong working member of the team.
You sit at your computer and criticize. while we all know that "assume" makes an...
Dr. L. Pennywacker Hansblitz didn't go to Norway House.
Cherie did!
And we have the evidence!
You will apologize, Annie, you who began this needling thread!

Oh, Cherie.. thank you... thank you! thank you!

Hi Cherie and thanks for posting here, if in fact that's the REAL you. Sorry about playing devil's advoctate, but one can't be sure on these things.
Anyway, taking you for being you at face value, it seems that you side with the believers on the whole Bigfoot/Sasquatch thing, which is reassuring. I don't think that you need to be a scientist to be able to comprehend the possibility of the existence of these creatures, and the fact that you're a chainsaw sculptin' ex-rocker chick doesn't detract from your intelligent open-mindedness at all. :)
I'm also glad that you can recognize the asinine way that ACA has presented this story. It sure ain't helping things, but if you say that you guys found some compelling evidence (however scant, or should I say "scat"? Heehaw!) hopefully ACA will try and get it analyzed by someone reputable and not by Dr. Ruehl and his basement labratory set. Then again, that could be pretty awesome. :D
BTW, can you tell us if he's actually that out of control in real life or does he only switch on for the cameras?
Thanks again, and welcome!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
You can ask your questions of the A Current Affair expedition team members personally on Friday at noon PST.
There will be a news conference in which evidence will be displayed.. and a portion of the evidence will be presented to Matthew Moneymaker of the Bigfoot Field Research Organization, if he chooses to appear in person to congratulate Dr. Ruehl, Cherie Currie and the other team memmbers for their bravery and significance.
There is no reason for us feces-examiners to sling mud at one another.

LOL! goodstory, as much as I find your exuberant devotion to ACA...odd, I must admit, I do like you. (though your song writing abilities could use a little polishing)
I wish you, and the rest of the team the very best of luck on your findings, and Friday`s press conference.

Hey gridbug,
The Doc is a great fellow. Yes, he can turn it on with the best of them as the camera rolls but all kidding aside he is a genius of a man, kind, gentle, sweet and down to earth. He has a serious side that you will all see at the press conference and hopefully on ACA tonight through Friday. I feel blessed to know him, the real 'him' and I truly hope to work with Doc, Brett Hudson and everyone at 'A Current Affair' again. I'd gladly trudge through any swamp, anywhere, anytime in hopes of that possibility.
And Annie...darling... I answered that question already.
Kisses,
Cherie Currie

I`m sorry, Cherie, I don`t believe you did, but that`s okay.
Thanks anyways,
Annie
