A Lucid Conversation (but not really)
By Derek Frazier
Transcript of a conversation between Baxter De Jean and Teri Thibodaux; July 25, 1996 (Thursday):
BD: Ah, shit. It ain’t no different than them el chupacabras.
TT: What’s that?
BD: You don’t know about them el chupacabras?
TT: Mm-mm.
BD: Well, el chupacabras is Spanish for the chupacabras. Now out here in the East Texas they’s pretty rare, but down in, uh, Mexico they’s pretty common. I think it’s cause of all them goats. See, a chupacabras is what they call a goat-sucker. And they got a lot more goats down there in Mexico than we got here.
TT: Goat sucker?
BD: Yep.
TT: What part of the goat do they suck?
BD: Well, it ain’t their peckers (laughs) Goats ain’t got peckers. They feed off of their blood. They’s blood suckers, just like a vampire and shit. They got these big fangs they jab into the goat and suck out its blood. You find them in the morning, all sucked dry.
TT: Does it kill them?
BD: Course it kills them. How they supposed to live without blood? I thought you’s a scientist and whatnot. (drinks beer) If you want a little advice, don’t poke your nose too far into them books. Get out there and poke around some, see what you find. Shit, you can learn more hanging round the fire with your amigos than you can in them books. (drinks beer) Sometimes. Fuckers are big, about the size of a black bear, got scales and shit, all over their bodies. And uh, big ass eyes like one of them (undecipherable) from land of the lost.
TT: Never heard of them.
BD: Well, they’s real, believe me. They never heard of you, either. (laughs)
TT: (drinks beer) That’s probably true.
BD: Huh?
TT: That’s probably true. (drinks beer) How’s that like that broken silt fence?
BD: Hell, I don’t know. You’re the scientist, you tell me. (end of tape)
