[Yo-Yo]

"Watson! The game's afoot!"

[Ramius]

Not sure, but something’s afoot.

I believe the line is:

"Come quick Watson! The game is afoot!"

[Ramius]

Hah!

[Disambiguator]

Authorities are trying to get a leg up on the situation.

[theDentist]

Is there a significant increase in the number of folks hoofing it to (or from) B.C.?

[politicket]

I am positive that this particular phrase is unique, possibly to never be reprinted again.

Too late...you just did. :-)

[wizr]

Is it mine? Mine is a EEE!

OH, whew! It’s still there. Just went to sleep.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I thought “Dexter” was shot in Miami.

Government run healthcare.

Col Mustard in the Parlor with the candelabra? Thats my guess and I’m sticking with it. I know for sure if I was going to go for a walk in BC, I would make it a point to wear loafers.

[Fester Chugabrew]

All toe boat employees in the vicinity ought be questioned.

“At first glance it doesn’t match any of the other feet.” That’s Sherlock talking.

That could help explain why just the tennis shoes with foot are showing up.

Sea burials?
Lost at sea victems with the currents bringing them to land, coincidently?

Interesting mystery.

Curse html-- let me try this:

That is from The hound of the baskervilles I will try to listen for the exact wording the next time I play it.

[Starstruck]

I occasionally lose a sock but never with the shoe and foot attached.

Sneakers thrown over a power or phone line points the way to illegal drug sales.

Just a little comment here...but all of the islands off the coast of Canada on the Pacific side....are loaded with drug-growing operations. There is a vast competition of effort going on, and some folks step on the “feet” of other folks...and then get some type of retribution.

"There are billions, perhaps trillions of possible word combinations in the English language."

It's possible that your estimate may be on the low side. Especially now that the socialists are using the same words to mean several different things.
