Sasqwatch, the original Bigfoot watch The legend of Sasquatch (the Native American term for Bigfoot) has existed for centuries. This elusive creature has been spotted throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as other parts of the world including China and Nepal. Now for the Bigfoot collector and cryptozoologist in all of us there is something totally unique to carry the legend along with you, the Sasqwatch! These solid, wilderness-tested, water resistant watches have been almost twenty years in the creation. Makes us wonder if it'll take another twenty to come out with the Abominable Snowman edition. Get your very own Sasqwatch today! Updated: Friday, 21 August 2009 11:47 AM EDT Log in to Comment | Permalink Thursday, 20 August 2009Best Pet: Zeus The Lovable Head-Butting Cuddler
Topic: Best Pets
Posted by ohryankelley at 3:12 PM EDTThis week's Best Pet comes to us from Gamesviller Angelgaldonna of Parksville, BC. Meet her cuddly companion, Zeus! Distinguishing Personality Traits Angelgaldonna says, "Zeus was given to us by my husband's son two years ago and fit in very well. Zeus is pure white with one blue eye and one green eye. He is so lovable--he will literally hug me with both paws around my neck when I pick him up as well as rub our faces together and do a couple 'head-butts'. He spends most days in the back yard hiding in a bushy area just watching the birds. His fur is the thickest I have ever seen on a cat; I've have to brush & comb him at least twice a week. He's sort of like a polar bear!" Want to share photos of your own favorite pet with the Gamesville community?

Topic: Members
Posted by ohryankelley at 5:22 PM EDTLast week we told you about Auzzi44's BIG win were she took home a whopping $898 playing CatchUp CoverAll. What was her moment of victory like? How is she going to spend her GV jackpot winnings? Find out below... Gamesville: Congratulations! What was it like when you realized you won?I got so excited I almost forgot to hit the 'bingo' button! I was so shocked that the bingo caller Dickie called the two numbers I needed right in a row (B13 and then N44 right after). I talked to the people in the room for a little while, they were congratulating me but it was late here so I couldn't scream or anything like that. Believe me I sure wanted to. What will you spend your winnings on? What do you do for a living? If you were stranded on a desert island who or what would you bring with you? What do you treasure most in life, and why? What does your Gamesville member name mean? Thanks, Auzzi44 - and congratulations again on your win!

Distinguishing Personality Traits Nannydue says, "Here is Bo Dan Dee, aka BoBo, doing what he does best... taking life easy. Bo is a 9-year-old Boston Terrier my daughter gave me for Christmas when he was just 6-weeks-old. Bo loves to swim in his little swimming pool and will not sleep without his blankie. Every night we have to 'love the BoBo' before bedtime. He hops up in the recliner to be petted and loved on and all I need to do is say, 'let's love the BoBo!'
