My uncle Alfie told me a story about being kidnapped and held captive for 6 months. if this was not adventurous enough, the kidnappers were Sasquatch, bigfoot! He was working in British Columbia searching for oil deposits in the 1970's when he claims to have followed a 'child ape with white fur' after losing track of time and getting lost in the woods he was seized by 3 white giant ape like creatures and dragged back to an encampment complete with a fire! Uncle Alfie was taken too the bigfoot of the elderly chieften and cast on the ground. He peered up to see the giant white ape perched on a rocking chair , smoking a pipe with a pair of horn rimmed glasses perched on the tip of his wide nose. He looked down at Alfie and said in a posh english accent " I say old chap, whats the jolly game following junior home , don't you know?" Over the following months Alfie got to know the lowland yeti and gained thier trust. He would tell me of thier thurst for fermented fruit and how they would get intoxicated and run into picnic areas to startle people and run back out and pee themselves laughing at the hysterical reaction of the people! He was released the following spring and returned to civilisation shortly after. Every christmas he tells us storys that are unbelievable! Do you have a relative that entertains you after christmas dinner?

Hi X, I always seem to be under the influence when you post something....your really enjoyable! lol No I dont have any relatives like that, so are you willing to share your Uncle Alfie with me? I had a friend that was sort of like that, he didnt make up stories like this one, but he was extremely exagerated. I got a kick out him, I knew he was full of it, but I wasnt so sure he knew it. haha Bay Lay Gray xx

You are nuts!!!! You and your uncle Alfie. You both need to be at a research institute. Although, your uncle could really be on to something. There have been recent sightings of this big foot character. Maybe, they will come take you uncle back to be with their people again. This time you make sure you tag along with him. You can tell us your own personal stories when you come home. Most of us have never been futher than planet EARTH, so your stories should be quite exciting, NOT.

we both spent a time at a 'research institute' but they kept putting the jackets on back to front so we left.

Will you join my family so that I can answer yes and have you as my family member who talks a lot of nonsense and looks like a really awesome crocodile?! Seriously though, all of my family pretty much talk nonsense because most of them ARE nonsense. IF they don't talk nonsense, they're probably not talking about anything interesting and I don't usually listen to them.

Oh yes I have a couple of them in my family. I dont even listen to them anymore. Unless I want a good laugh. They just want attention. And want to be the center of attention. Thats all.

That would be cool to have family like that, there would never be a dull minute in the house that is for sure. Just enjoy the time you have with him because some holiday he might not be there and you just might be the one to carry on his stories.

Yeah my third cousin twice removed would say the sillest things. He would say women have no privates or that all clowns are rapist. He would also say that clowns are weak against oranges. He also claims that babies are delieverd by storks and that the storks get babies from cabage patches. He even told the guest that Japanese people have no souls. He said that ever since he seen that episode of Southpark where kenny goes to heaven and plays the psp. He told me that he told the cab driver that money technially grow on trees. I told him money is made from cotton and linen but he didn't believe me. I say he is saying those things to get attention.

Well I don't have any contact with her anymore, but my aunt always used to talk about the Aliens. She was always praying for them to come and get her, so that they would take her along. Whenever she met a new person she did not know, she would ask them if they would go along with the aliens, like she would

Hi & Hello my friend, xboxboy. Your Uncle Alfie actually want to tell you about the motivation story of life. Funny things always make life change, creative weird things normally carry along the innovative ideas. So next time you must ask your Uncle Alfie immediately after he had finished up his story with this question; "Uncle, what is the conclusion of that story?"....and I firmly believe he will tell you. From me, no, I don't have a relative that talks a lot of creative nonsense. HAPPY DAPPY.

I have no such relatives. But I have a friend like this. She could keep talking 2-3 hours without noticing others's boring. I was very tired to listen. That may due to her hardtime. Now she behaviors normal and we are still good friends.

I guess now I have heard everything. At least hes imaginative. All my uncle says is "Kids these days have it easy. When I was your age I walked 3 miles in the snow to school, Without shoes" So be thankful. I think its great the way most families no matter where we live, or what our ethnicity, we all have a relative like that lol! One more thing at least hes verbal. I have an aunt(who is hairier than her husband)that loves to hug and hates to shave. And Im not talking about her beard......
@xboxboy (5576)

lol! what a scary aunt! no hugs of her!!

We used to, but after he barfed all over the Thanksgiving turkey one year we stopped taking him anywhere. Uncle has long ago departed, but we still shudder at some of his antics. He had hoodwinked the whole family (and quite a few elementary teachers too) into thinking that he didn't know how to read and lacked the capacity to be taught. When I was an idealistic young English teacher, I took it upon myself to singlehandedly remedy this apparent deficiency. That is when he confessed to me alone that he did indeed know how to read. Presuming he was just making this up as an excuse not to be taught anything, I called his bluff and asked him to read something aloud to me, whereupon he showed me a huge secret stash of pulp novels, opened one up and read as articulately as you please, but only after having solemnly sworn me to secrecy. Sneaky old coot.
