Now that I have clicked on the Word of the Day link, I find it difficult to ABSQUATULATE before leaving a post.

We caught a glimpse of him in the great North Woods,
And it caused us all to postulate,
Is it real? Do we dare the myth besmirch
Imagine the fame if we got the goods?
On the Sasquatch, ere it absquatulaeet!

Falls under “nefarious porpoises and cruel acts of random”.
Mimes are created like the ghola in the Dune universe.
