. . . was first discovered by a wandering monk named Pat in 565 AD. Since Pat was a Pict, he was not allowed to take any pictures of this imposing SEA SERPENT, and soon was devoured off-screen. Because Scotland suffers from a glaring lack of tourist attractions, the travel industry has yet to gain a foothold there. During the recent pandemic, foreign visitors wishing to see "Messy" were required to sanitize their own submersible probes prior to entering the Scottish Highlands. Transporting Messy beyond the coast line into international waters may be the best way to conduct a full autopsy. This film suggests it will be less trouble to simply infest Lake Nest with all of those pills recently banned in Texas, haul away the sea serpent carcasses when they surface and substitute a mechanical version of Messy for the roving pack that's been chomping on all the local farm dogs.

Never Let The Truth Get In The Way Of A Good Story
ccthemovieman-129 May 2007
Olive Oyl is a cub reporter anxiously awaiting her first assignment. Popeye is hanging around the office, trying to talk her into quitting because he doesn't get to see her anymore. Suddenly, gets a call into the boss's office ("Mr. Byline") and is given an assignment: check out the rumor that a sea serpent has been spotted at Loch Ness. Olive races out of the building!
A reluctant Popeye, who has never seen a serpent is all his seafaring days, takes Olive, "just for laughs," to Loch Ness. When they get there, guess who is the "official guide to the sea serpent?" Yup, Brutus, who is down in the mouth for lack of business.
He overcharges for the tour and other things and Popeye calls him for the crook he is, but the naive Olive will have none of that. She winds up learning the truth the hard way. Sad to say, there are a number of reporter today who are similar: they print what they want to believe, instead of the truth. They've got as much integrity as Olive Oyl.
Thankfully, Popeye is the true investigative reporter. It's a shame there have been, and still are, so many reporters than resemble Olive instead.
