Yep, it means goatsucker. I know because I saw a really stupid SciFi movie a couple of days ago that had one loose on a cruise ship. And we all know that movies are reality, Right?

You mean "Chupacabra: Dark Seas" aka "Chupacabra Terror"? Directed by John Shepphird and starring John Rhys Davies, Giancarlo Esposito, Dylan Neal and Mark Viniello as the Chupacabra?

Dr. Pena, the local cryptozoologist captures a killer Chupa and ships it on a cruise ship, and some thugs release it on board, then it's up to a U.S. Marshal and the captain's martial arts daughter to stop the creature, only they end up calling in a Navy Seal Team.

It's ok for a non-serious B sci-fi movie, but in reality, it's impossible to capture a Chupa. It simply cannot be done. They are too wily and clever, not to mention they are fast as lightning. No one has even photographed one, in spite of using all the latest hi-tech infrared wildlife camera gizmos.

Most people tend to dismiss them as legends created by overactive imaginations or ignorant rural people, but they are real. A guy I know who is from Puerto Rico saw one late one night, and he does not drink or do drugs. Some people believe that Chupacabra stories were invented by the U.S. Government Psy-Ops people to stop Puerto Ricans from wandering too close to super-secret military bases located in the PR bush, but the truth is they are real. Trust me.

chupacabra do not exist and its a load of bull, cmon people wake up i mean who is gonna believe the big bad meanie is after you?

It's a sad day in bleak paranoia when people like you refuse to face the truth about these hideous creatures which are indeed as real as they come. Are hundreds, possibly thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of chupacabra sightings just the result of an overactive imagination? Oh, sure it's easy for you living there in the comfort of your warm cozy apartment or condominium, or maybe you live in one of those exclusive gated communities with an armed guard at the gate, and people come tootin' up to the gate in their BMW's and Lexus SUV's. No self-respecting chupa would be caught dead in a place like that.

If you want to see chupacabras, you have to go where they prowl, which is in the remote outback of Mexico, Central and South America and along certain sparsely populated areas of the desert Southwest, and on the islands of Puerto Rico. And it has to be where they have goats, cause goats are their favorite food next to virgins. Be honest here, Seawitch, are there any goats or virgins in your gated condoplex? Ha! I didn't think so.

*tsk*tsk*
you have a vivid imagination....

Well, I used to have one anyway. But that was before I started liking bologna on white bread with a big dollop of mayonnaise spread on thick and heavy. Then slowly, over time, my mind started throttling down and my imagination slipped into low gear without me noticing. Whereas in my pre-bologna sandwich days I was the life of the party and the purveyor of endless wit, now consuming too much bologna makes me sit dumbfounded on the end of the couch and stare straight ahead.

I guess it was all the nitrates and other such unnatural food preservatives that done me in like this. Now all I do is peruse the internet and post in shunned threads like the paranoia files, mostly stuff that nobody much reads. Bologna on white bread made me what I am today, SeaWitch. Don't let it happen to you, my pretty. When I die, they're gonna sing that little Oscar Meyer bologna song at my funeral.

Chupacabras don't like donkeys or jackasses, WindDancer, just goats and young virgins. More Chupa sightings have been reported in Calderon Village Sinaloa in Northern Mexico, as well as in Sonora, Veracruz, and the Southern state of Chiapas. One entire herd of goats was wiped out, leaving a local farmer and his family of 11 totally destitute.

The Rurales (Mexican police) organized a large Chupacabra hunt on horseback with hounds brought in by a bear hunter in Zapata, Texas, but after three days and nights, no Chupacabra was seen. Updates on this situation will be posted here as I receive them from our reporter, Alejandro Delgado via e-mail and fax from Chiapas, Mexico. Alejandro has taken great personal risks to keep us here in paranoia informed about these dangerous creatures. Muchas gracias, Alejandro.

I read somewhere that they have Chupacabra festivals in some of the Mexican villages. People dress up in chupacabra costumes and they have a big goat barbecue. Lots of fun and games for all the kiddies.

chupacabras dont exist! its a load of bull!
ok now where were we?

Young lady, may I remind you that we have a person on the ground in Chiapas, Mexico (Alejandro) who has actually seen a real live chupacabra no less than three times? Are you...are you calling Alejandro a liar? I hope not.

It's plain that you have little or no respect for chupacabra authority. We also have a PhD'd cryptozoologist on call who can verify that chupacabras do indeed exist. His name is Dr. Roberto J. Espinoza, and he will be very upset that you have chosen to make such unpleasant remarks about chupacabras, a subject which he has spent some 15 years studying.

For your information, I once accompanied Dr. Espinoza to a small village in Costa Rica which had been overrun by no less than a dozen chupacabras. Had you been there and witnessed the aftermath, you would not be so quick to cast aspersions on the serious work of chupacabra research. I hope this kind of attitude is not contagious.
