[Sca-cooks] OT: Judge Crater

[Terry Decker]

First, he was a Tammany lawyer, so that is a suspicious circumstance right
there.  Foul play would automatically be suspected.

Widespread UFO sightings and Roswell were 15+ years away, so the gray guys
from Gobble or the MIB probably didn't get him.  Tortilla chips, much less
crispy strips, were 40+ years away.

There is at least one story that someone who knew Crater encountered him
about ten years after his disappearance, wandering around Arizona
prospecting.  But considering the well known effects of the West on
agoraphopic Easterners, that meeting could have been an hallucination...or a
mirage.

And it isn't GOLF that was invented by aliens, it was CRICKET!  A sport
designed to bemuse the curious Brit and befuddle the rest of us.
