Hey man, did you see last nights X-Files? Did they get into some crazy UFO stuff or what?

No man, it was a total Skunk Ape Episode. All they did was wander around in the sewers looking for some stretch armstrong mother-f'r. Tooms!

Skunk Ape 

The Skunk Ape is one of the most dangerous creatures known to man. The Skunk Ape got its name from its huge body and its awful odor. It lives in the state of Florida, where it has been sighted many times.

The Skunk Ape is most deadly in the dark, where it gains all of its powers, in the daytime it is slowed down by its anti-photosynthetic cells. It has lunarsynthetic cells, which when energy is sent to it from the moonlight, its abilities increase 10 fold. With a raging torrent of energy flowing through its body, it is able to compress it's body and stretch its limbs, bones, and organs, to grab, strangle, and even simulate teleportation, by its fast stretching, it seems as though it has teleported.

The skunk ape reproduces asexually; by laying eggs, thus limiting its genetic versatility. This is the main reason the skunk ape has not evolved and retains its ancient mystic powers. The egg of the skunk ape is generally the size of a human head. The egg is green in color, and tends to glow in the dark.

When a Skunk Ape is seen the best thing to do is to arm yourself with any type of light. Flashlights and camera flashes work effectively in this situation, camera flashes stun and blind the skunk ape. The best option is to keep your eye and your light on it, if the light leaves it's fur for one second he could appear behind your back, and it's lights out for you.

Skunk Ape 

A foul beast that is hairy like an ape and reeks of desperation. Although the Skunk Ape can be found throughout the Southern United States, the Skunk Ape predominantly is located in Northern Alabama (the woods to be exact). A typical Skunk Ape will appear quite plump and, more than likely, have a can of Mountain Lightning in its meaty, furry hand.

Skunk apes generally are named Shawn (Sorry, its just a fact). They also tend to be extreme try-hards who feast on the blood of un-pubertized female humans

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
