Loch Ness Monster is derived from a poor Anglonisation of the original Scottish gaelic Loch Ness Ma Nester, meaning "creature of the Loch Ness". When the English speakers first heard the tale of Nessie, they equated her description and the Scottish name with the English word "monster". So Nessie really isn't that bad after all.

Western Dragon? Honey, the Tiamet is an ancient Chaos-Goddess, not some serpent that has chilli breath.

I know this but they didn't have me on on there. She is the Godess of Chaos.  Maybe that explains my life

If I remember my Babylonian mythology, the Tiamet was the serpent that churned the seas of chaos that filled the formless void before Creation. She was then, *um* slain and her body formed the soil and her blood the waters.

oooh, here it is. From pantheon.org
In Babylonian myths, Tiamat is a huge, bloated female dragon that personifies the saltwater ocean, the water of Chaos. She is also the primordial mother of all that exists, including the gods themselves. Her consort is Apsu, the personification of the freshwater abyss that lies beneath the Earth. From their union, saltwater with freshwater, the first pair of gods were born. They are Lachmu and Lachamu, parents of Ansar and Kisar, grandparents of Anu and Ea.
In the creation epic Enuma elish, written around 2000 BCE, their descendants started to irritate Tiamat and Apsu so they decided to kill their offspring. Ea discovered their plans and he managed to kill Apsu while the latter was asleep. Tiamat flew into a rage when she learned about Apsu's death and wanted to avenge her husband. She created an army of monstrous creatures, which was to be led by her new consort Kingu, who is also her son. Eventually, Tiamat was defeated by the young god Marduk, who was born in the deep freshwater sea.
Marduk cleaved her body in half, and from the upper half he created the sky and from the lower half he made the earth. From her water came forth the clouds and her tears became the source of the Tigris and the Euphratus. Kingu also perished, and from his blood Marduk created the first humans.

Speak for yourself- I've heard of Spring Heeled Jack, and consider random sightings of mating or migrating eels in Loch Ness to be an excellent way of getting rich Yankees to part with their greenbacks in midge afflicted places.

No silly I picked her initially because she is the Dragon of Chaos. At the time I joined my life was in total chaos so it seemed appropriate.
Besides if this is right:
~Marduk cleaved her body in half, and from the upper half he created the sky and from the lower half he made the earth. From her water came forth the clouds and her tears became the source of the Tigris and the Euphratus. Kingu also perished, and from his blood Marduk created the first humans. ~
Then that would make me the Mother of all Mother's now wouldn't it. Without me there would be no sky or earth. So yuck it up. See if I ever compliment you again you cheeky little moneky!

I don't think so! I know full well what "Amazon Women on the Moon" says, and that's good enough for me.

Oh please. "Manos: The Hands of Fate" is considered to be the paradigm case on the Nessie/Jack Frost controversy.

Hey, I actually kinda liked Pumkinhead. It's Pumkinhead II that is of Jack Frost / Manos / Basket Case quality.
We were actually very disappointed in Pumkinhead -- we were expecting the worst movie since sliced bread, and wound up accidentally seeing a movie with some redeeming qualities.
