Self-Contained Zulu Time

Field Post – Lizard People

Can someone explain why this damn lizard is looking at me sideways?

I’m standing there, perfectly still, mid-putt—fully aligned, perfect wrist snap, wind balanced against the eucalyptus sway—and this striped reptilian menace just locks eyes like it’s got something to say. No blink. No flinch. Just that smug, sideways glance like I’m the one who doesn’t belong here.

Let’s be clear: I’ve mapped flight telemetry on discs breaking Mach 0.3, reverse-engineered glide vectors in coastal thermals, and logged anomalies at Kit Carson Park that defy Newtonian physics. But this lizard thinks it’s king of the tee pad because it clings to a concrete sculpture and eyeballs me like it’s guarding ancient secrets?

Is it guarding the vortex again? Is that what this is?

This isn’t your sandbox, lizard. It’s a disc golf course. A scientific arena. My arena. And until you file a flight plan or register with RCVD’s biological observation division, kindly get your eyeballs off my telemetry field.

    Enough with the pseudoscientific reptile fan fiction. Let’s set the record straight once and for all: snakes are NOT lizards, and anyone claiming otherwise should hand over their field guide and step away from the herpetology section before more damage is done.

    Conflating snakes with lizards is like calling a dolphin a fish because it swims—laughably ignorant. Snakes have no eyelids, no external ears, no limbs, and a completely different jaw structure. Most lizards blink, hear, and have legs. This isn’t some “tomato-tomahto” semantic slip—it’s the difference between understanding evolution and spreading garage biology to your readers.

    The moment you looked at a snake and thought “ah yes, just another legless lizard,” you waved goodbye to credibility. This is herpetological malpractice dressed up in sci-fi cosplay.

    Stick to disc golf and leave taxonomy to the grown-ups. Your article might entertain, but it’s doing the reptile world—and your readers—a disservice.

    Wait—you’re a doctor? And you called a snake a lizard?

    That’s a pretty catastrophic blunder for someone claiming scientific credentials. A real b scientist—or anyone with a passing familiarity with herpetology—would know the difference.

    No limbs, no eyelids, no external ears, entirely different skull and jaw structure… these aren’t minor traits. They’re foundational anatomical distinctions. A student in an undergrad zoology course wouldn’t confuse the two, let alone a “Dr.”

    So either your doctorate is in interpretive dance or you’re intentionally dumbing things down for your readers, which is worse. Misinformation wrapped in a lab coat is still misinformation.

    Just say you saw something slither and didn’t know what it was—we’d respect that more than watching you tank your credibility like this.
