...but, heck, it's Saturday night.
Has anyone here been interested in Bigfoot/Sasquatch, or seen one, or know someone who claims to have seen one?
Personally, I think there’s something to the Bigfoot legend. Too many sightings and stories. Now, Dogman, that’s just crap. I mean, just how many cryptids can there be wandering around in the woods?
Thanks; I’ve seen some of those. ‘A flash of Beauty’ has some good things. I’m kind of interested in the older guys - Professor Jeffrey Meldrum, John Green (R.I.P), etc.
I think there’s something to it, too; but I think there’s something to UFOs, as well.
The question is, What’s the ‘Something’?
I have a friend who is a pastor’s wife, who claims she has seen a Bigfoot in Oklahoma. She’d die before she’d tell a lie, but she is extremely gullible, however, you’ll never convince her that she did not see it. She had someone with her, who backs up her clsim.
[I was interested in the Yeti and Bigfoot at one time.]
Elaine, shiks-appeal is a myth, like the Yeti.
Or his cousin, the North American Sasquatch.
My friend says they have a powerful stink.

(Shawn is right about the ice cream!!)
A lot of people have said that; others have smelled nothing really bad.
What is with the neck on that thing?
I kind wonder about one of our delivery guys at work, but I’m afraid to ask him.
He’s really big and hairy.
I was in Florida with two people in a National Wildlife Refuge.
It was during the day with lots of expensive Camera equipment. We got all kinds of good shots and we were carrying the equipment back to the car. We came to an opening with water behind it and all three of us saw three lemurs crossing. We looked at each other like, WTH!
That night, we did an Internet search and the Local News Station had interviewed people, including a Ranger that had seen Lemurs at this Fish and Wildlife Refuge.
The Ranger said they must be escaped animals that had come a distance.
In Florida and NC, I’ve heard what clearly sounds like Monkeys in the swamp.
I still live in hope that the Ivory Billed Woodpecker is just hiding out...
Ask him if he made the jump to light-speed in the Millennium Falcon....
No, wait, don’t....
Example: I looked into the sky at noon one day a few years ago and saw the weirdest “thing” I ever saw undulating through the sky. it seemed to have six appendages. My brain could not untangle what I was looking at. But…
No fauna were alarmed. It made no effort to dart into cover. Its movements were distinctly organic/livng. (It wasn’t a drone.) I had a good, long look at it and it finally banked its curving flight in a new direction—and towards me!
Then it resolved itself. The thing broke up into three turkey vultures. They had been flying in a tight line, heads down. My angle of view was right across their backs so it looked like one creature with no discernible head and six oddly-flapping wings.
Reflecting on it, I was reminded of paintings of angels with six wings that adorn places like the Hagia Sofia. And I wondered if some artist long ago had also seen such a thing, but that it may have disappeared behind trees or a building before the mystery could explain itself.
Yes. And his name is Bigfoot.
Sometimes he goes by “Jim.”
That’s right. But the fun of watching them on their own still attracts people.
“Teddy Roosevelt published an interesting anecdote about it.”
Daniel Boone recorded shooting what sounds like one in his autobiography.
