YEAH Ogopogo is so great man

[Jaxxoon R]

Ogopogo is the single most terrifying beast to ever live, he is the water spirit of the greatest life and existence. Ogopogo rules over his island realm of rattlesnakes and sagebrush, deep within a dark corner of lake Okanagan. One man realized the amazing glory of this ancient and horrifying deity and constructed a giant great pyramid replica and giant camel out of porcelain and flesh, and a small golf course to entertain Ogopogo's serpent followers. The Canadian government feared the results of what may result from this increase in resources and power, so much like FOXHOUND, they destroyed everything that was his. The sea serpent lord later got his revenge 30 years later, when he used his awesome powers to will a lightning bolt to start the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park Fire. No one has messed with him since, except for a select few spooky ghost search TV show people that were most certainly eaten by either him or the rattlesnakes of Rattlesnake island or both. The Canadian government has made this a protected land so as to not incur his wrath.

He has been categorized as a 'many hump' variety of lake monster, and suggested to maybe be some kind of a serpentine whale.

I wish to share the Ogo.

So from what I can gather from this post, a giant water snake lives in a Canadian river?

That small video needs to circle what I'm supposed to be looking at. I see something that looks black as the boat goes by the island, but it doesn't look to be moving.

Further evidence:



Snakes that do swim, swim by thrashing left and right, rather than up and down. Of course here I am calling it a snake when clearly its a OgoPogo.

[Technician]

Can't all snakes swim?

[Jaxxoon R]

He swims the best. And is a whale.

[geo]

My mistake. So is it the island?

Leviathan could kick Ogopogo's ass.

Pacific Rim 2?

Ogopogo sounds a lot like the Lock Ness Monster

Agreed, but one is Scottish the other is Canadian. Similar latitudes. 50 and 57 respectively. There could be a connection there.

There's only one way to find if this creature is real. Its pretty close to where Babe the Blue Ox hangs out. Babe could go there and drink up all the water exposing OgoPogo.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Canada has a very large ethnic population of Scottish people.

Aye we have a few Scots about (east coast here... New Scotland). Sometimes you can hear the pipes playing somewhere over the hills and through the trees.

The first time I heard of Ogopogo was when I used to talk to a gal from Kelowna many years ago. I don't recall much about that tho.

That's what I thought as well. I've seen garter snakes here swimming across the top of the water.

It seems so.

Arthur C Clarke didn't believe in Nessie..

[geo]

But do snakes swim by thrashing left and right or up and down?

[Hoodie]

Igopogo is better.

[Dave The Daring]

The Loch Ness Monster has it's own animated cartoon..

[Clonehunter]

Are we finally getting that cryptozoology sub-forum I've occasionally dreamed of?

[dg93]

I found this Star Wars cartoon that was made back in 1978. It seems to have a science fiction Loch Ness Monster/Ogopogo of its own.

[geo]

I learned more about the Star Wars universe in 5 minutes than I have with 6 movies.

But why is R2-D2 so.. Wobbly?

Idk, but the real question is, why does Han Solo's face look like @7:51... a horse?

[Dave The Daring]

I have a feeling the whole thing was animated by hippies.. It's the only explanation.

Space hippies high on LSD maybe...

[Dave The Daring]

Yeah, I bet they were so high they probably believed in Ogopogo! Crazy.

[gaspe]

[Clonehunter]

Not to mention how High Han's cartoon looks and sounds.

I feel that now it's just a question of time when Ogopogo and Nessie join the fate of skeletons, birdmen and boners.

What have we dared to do??!!

Fun fact: in Final Fantasy 4, Ogopogo is just a recolor of Leviathan.

Here he is in the DS/IOS version.

Oddly enough, in this incarnation he lives on the moon. Oddly enough, the insane Virgin Mary Eldrich Abomination raocow claims to live in Canada, which he also claims is on the moon.

Coincidence?

Did a giraffe die close to two oars and someone screamed out NEW DINOSAUR?
