Conversations With My Husband, Part Something-teen

[ladysprite]

Him: It's sad. Most American cryptids have boring names. They're all just 'The [Placename] monster.'
Me: Yeah, that is kind of dull.
Him: Except the Pope Lick Monster. I'll give that one points for originality.
Me: The.... WHAT?
Him: It looks like the American version of a bridge troll. Thankfully, it has nothing to do with the pope. Or licking.
Me: Aww.... :( Just when we finally have such a lickable pope, too.....

Seriously, I think my version is better.

So "The [Placename] Monster" is OK if the placename isn't boring? Sounds like we need to get a cryptid for Climax, PA then.
