If he called 911 and asked everybody to come look for him, I'd agree with you. Even going back to the runaway bride thing, I don't think people owe the world any explanation when they decide not to come home for a day or two.

Mike, No one's demanding an explanation. But if he's going to waste everyone's time by making us look for him all over Cougar Mountain, we'd like him to at least come up with a believable lie.

I didn't know people owed you an explanation when they didn't make it home at an acceptable time. When did you become everyone's mother?

I'm up at Cougar at least once a week. If I see him, I'll give him a wedgie for you.

His story reeks. I run (a lot) and I am outdoors (a lot) and I cannot imagine this story being true. Sure, maybe this was the freakest of accidents that makes his story true, but I think it is much more likely he was off throwing a hump in someone or a needly into his arm. Something is just to effing weird.

Dan, I am so with you. I'm truly shocked about taking this at face value. Did they take it at face value when the Runaway Bride returned home. How bout that college girl who said she was hit on the back of the head and then drugged and bound. For both of these incidents the public was outraged at the attention seeking selfishness of these women. I'm not saying this guy made it up; I'm just shocked that the authorities wouldn't even ask the obvious.

They should give him a glass of that fresh Cougar Mountain creek water he supposedly drank and see if he can still stand let alone walk.. More likely he hooked up with his girlfriend (or boyfriend) at Cougar, then woke up Sunday all hung over and saw his picture in the paper. Uh oh. Better come up with something fast! I know, I fell into a ravine and hit my head! Amnesia! It worked for Gilligan!

Nice touch on the Updike cover...the lit nerd in me had a hearty chuckle.
