I love his little stompies

[coconutmilkyway]

warmup sketch before i worked today lmaooooo 

i was reminded of the Gone Squatchin hat and i was compelled to draw dib in it bc i think he might wear it. i like to think that he didn’t cut that hole in the hat himself and instead his hair just pierced its way through over time.

tryin to channel that Pilot Dib energy here so he looks extra foul.

I want to remember it the way it was. Review of The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat. Blog 61 of Disability in X-Files Series.

In writing a blog related to a disability focused watch of The X-Files, I knew I would find much to criticize about my favorite series ever on television. I, also, knew I would find episodes to be praised. In particular, I believe that the Darin Morgan episode Humbug which aired in the second season is likely the best hour of television ever produced to demonstrate that the perception of other is simply a mirror perception of what is normal to you based on your life situation. All “isms” are either a desire for power or a fear of or lack of understanding of the “other”. No episode of television that I have seen as aptly taken the viewer on a journey of changing perceptions to see the series main character as an “other” than Humbug.

Darin Morgan wrote exactly six of the 228 episodes. His series eleven contribution is funny, sweet, and thought provoking. It’s a beautiful good-bye. Always known for viewing the series with a critical eye, he successfully focuses on the series reoccurring theme (since the pilot ) of whether people who believe in the paranormal and the existence of aliens are delusional with psychiatric illness. He, also, reminds us in a sweetly, gentle way that the series sometimes used a disability as horror approach and that, while we are remembering this show in a nostalgic way, we should not forget the use of mental illness as a repeat monster metaphor. Scully’s last statement of this episode “ I want to remember it as it was.” is reflective of the fact that none of us want to look too closely at our precious memories of old. She chooses not to taste the jello at the end of the episode because she wants to remember the jello as she remembers it and not as it actually tastes.

The cold open of the episode is in black and white. The first line is “I know you think I’m crazy.” A lone customer in a restaurant is talking to the waiter about aliens. It is likely not lost on the regular viewer that the scene is filmed in the same set location and at the same counter where Mulder sat in Jose Chung from Outer Space talking to the waiter about alien abduction.

The next scene is Mulder wearing a bizarre outfit because he has been out “squatchin” and is dressed like Bigfoot. He is doing this to escape from the “madness” of watching the news and worrying that the country has gone insane. (Although how sane is a man who hunts big foot?). The inclusion of this scene serves to remind us of the extreme nature of Mulder’s fringe beliefs. He then notices an X taped to the window and he goes to his meeting place to meet with a man who seems to know him even though Mulder doesn’t know the man. In the course of this conversation the man ( Reggie) will say “There’s no way for me to make you understand without me seeming like a crazy mad man.” Mulder hears sirens and says “I think your ride is here.” Reggie informs Mulder that Mulder’s favorite episode of The Twillight Zone, The Lost Martian, does not exist.

The next scene is another scene which serves to remind us of Mulder’s more obsessive nature. Mulder is shown searching through his old videos and talking to Scully. He tells Scully that when this guy said the episode did not exist “ that’s when I knew he was a crazy person.” However, it is Mulder who, having looked through his boxed DVD sets, searched the episode guide books and searched the internet, is now looking through old VHS tapes and tells Scully he won’t be able to eat until he finds it. Won’t be able to eat “ever again.”

Reggie brings Scully into the case by giving her a box of one of her childhood memories, a box resembling jello, and telling her his fingerprints are on the box so she can help him find himself. In the first scene with Mulder, Scully, and Reggie, it is Mulder who appears the most out there, even as compared to Reggie, as Mulder brings up the possibility of parallel universes. In that scene when they hear sirens, Scully tells Reggie “It sounds like your ride is here.” At another point Mulder says, “Reggie, take it from a fellow nut.” At the end of that scene Reggie reveals that he used to be a FBI agent partnered with Mulder and Scully.

A later scene again shows Mulder acting in a way some would say is less than sane. He is puzzling in front of his bulletin board with strings to connect the pictures to a conspiracy theory that includes Ted Cruz and Bob Dylan and soy bombs. But Mulder says the world has become too crazy for even his conspiratorial powers.

Scully finally discovers that Reggie has had a series of bureaucratic government jobs including his longest stint listening to phone conversations. He seems to have enjoyed listening to Mulder’s and Scully’s. About a year ago, he suffered a nervous break down and was admitted to a psychiatric facility. As usual, Scully is judgmental and Mulder sympathetic. Mulder explains Reggie’s nervous break down in a way that might explain why he is so sympathetic. “ it’s merely the culmination of disillusionment of a man who simply wanted to spend his life in the service of the country that he loves”. (Could that explain Mulder’s own diagnosis of depression?)

After Mulder’s speech and the sound of sirens, the ambulance from Spotnitz sanitarium arrives. Reggie says “ It looks like my ride is here.” In a nod to the way that X-Files has so often portrayed persons with mental illness in other episodes. Reggie reminds the driver of the ambulance about what it takes for him to come peacefully. The driver holds the straight jacket and says “it demeans all of us”. Reggie says, “ no, it gives a touch of classicism.” As Reggie is placed in a straight jacket and an attendant holds a large net, Reggie says “remember how crazy people used to be portrayed as believing they were Napoleon?” He tells Mulder and Scully to stay safe and stay sane.

Twenty eight years after the pilot of The X-Files aired, new and old fans are still watching, reviewing, podcasting and debating the series. There are other episodes of season 11 left to review, but none says goodbye in such a bittersweet way as this one because no one else is as adept at discussing the subtlety of the “isms” than Darin Morgan. While this is a disability focused blog and this is an episode about mental illness, Scully’s statement can be applied to other categories. For instance, people who remember The X-Files as creating a feminist icon are surprised that sensibilities of our culture in the 90’s meant that rape could be treated casually in several episodes. We can appreciate the show being ahead of its time and as groundbreaking for women and still say, but by today standards it is not always reflective of feminist standards. Then we add in no decade’s standards should the casual treatment of rape have been ok. Yet, in most of mankind’s history it has been. In taking a disability focused watch, I have found more to criticize about the series than praise, but I don’t find it less than normative in the standards of its time and, in what I find to praise, it sets a standard few if any series of even today have matched. The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat gives me permission to love the series with all my nostalgia, but with a caveat not to think, in how it portrayed issues of mental health or disability, that it was without fault.

Dancing in the Dark: part 4

For an anon prompt: five times M&S danced in the dark. This turned out much longer than I anticipated, so I’ve broken it into five parts, each told from an alternating POV; independent, but with a clear narrative arc.

Part one  Part two  Part three

Four: Folie a Deux

There was a moment when he did consider that his mental health had declined to such a state that he really was imagining things, seeing monsters where only men presided. Although, in this line of work, the men were often the scariest of monsters. But then there was his one in five billion, his sharp-shooting, sceptical saviour, charging in with her determination. What did it mean? Sure, they’re partners, but she hadn’t believed him. And yet.

              Where do you take your one in five billion for a thank-you dinner? Are there unwritten rules about this kind of occasion? What are the possibilities to consider. Italian? French? That new Japanese restaurant? He did enjoy the thought of watching Scully eat linguini or escargot or sushi but none of them really reflected what he imagined the moment should be. How big do you have to go to express your deepest gratitude for your partner, for a woman you consider a friend? More than a friend.

              He looks out at the night sky. The moon is bright, full. But even the moon seems too small a gesture.

In the end, it comes to him. He’s been looking at it all wrong. It isn’t about dimension or magnitude or show. It isn’t something that anybody else needs to be a part of, or witness. It is about just them.

              She’s wearing a simple dress, dark blue with a sheen that adds an extra aspect of fluidity to her movements. She doesn’t ask questions. She just sits in the car and watches the day fade away as they drive.

              “We’re here,” he says and pulls into the car park.

The scent of early summer is still hanging in the air. She slips a jacket around her shoulders and he misses the freckles on her skin already. He pops the trunk.

“You’re not going to spray paint Xs on the forest floor, are you?” There’s a gentle lilt in her tone and his chest tightens.

“Are you ready to lose nine minutes again, Agent Scully?” He pulls out the bag.

Her smile is wide. They walk. Occasionally, she chances a glance at him but he keeps his eyes ahead. If he looks at her, he might just scoop her into his arms and kiss her. The anticipation, the ancient trees, the soft leaf litter underfoot, the sun mottling the ground, the brackish scent of this forest is imprinting itself on his skin and making him feel like life is so fleeting that he must act now.

He tells her to wait. There’s a tiny tilt of her head, she presses her lips together, folds her arms but she’s not being the oppositional partner he’s used to; she’s enjoying the secrecy for once, he can tell. It’s in the way her eyes are wider, the way her chest is flushing, the way her teeth are now scraping across her lower lip.

There’s a moment where his stomach clenches; a pang of nerves. Has he pitched this right? Will he do her justice? It’s a date. But it’s…more than that.

When he’s ready he calls her. He found the clearing Squatchin’ but he doesn’t tell her that. He lets her see its magic without the details. It’s perfectly round. Trees bow overhead, like they’re doffing caps in some stately mansion house. The sun is sinking and the floor is spun gold. It’s quiet save for the occasional piping of birdsong. He’s laid out a picnic blanket, sandwiches, little cakes, a bottle of red. And his laptop.

“What is this, Mulder?” She turns a slow circle and in that dress she looks like a starry sky. Midnight Scully. To him, in this moment, she’s as expansive, as mysterious, as glorious.

“This is a date, spooky style.”

“We’re not going to watch scary movies, are we?”

“I brought The Exorcist,” he says, but he’s shaking his head and she smiles, kneels on the rug. “No, I’ve been was just thinking about the way we started. The way I was so…”

“Arrogant?” she supplies and he laughs.

“And here I was searching for the truth in dark and mysterious places, when all I needed was to ask you.”

“I’ve been telling you that for years, Mulder. And yet…” She takes a tiny bite of a chicken sandwich and he watches her mouth for too long and not long enough. “So, you’ve brought me to the forest to, what? Say sorry for being a jerk? How long are you intending this date to last, Mulder?”

He does love a sassy Scully. He could listen to her drag him all night. He turns on the laptop, pours some wine. The sun plunges out of sight and they’re suspended in that bruised light that casts shadows and softens everything.

“I want to show you something.”

“A slide show.”

He nods. “They’re always better in a natural amphitheatre.”

“Mulder,” she says in a playful whine. “Just show me.”

The glass in his hand feels smooth and warm. He takes a sip and leans back as the screen fires up.

There are a series of photos: a sunset, an ocean, a rainforest, a rose with diamond dewdrops in the purple of its petals, a tiger’s face in close up, a mountain capped with the whitest snow, a lightning bolt striking the ground. Then at the end a blank slide. Nothing. Just a black screen.

She is silent as the forest around them. The sky is now filling with stars. He closes the laptop, pours more wine. When she puts down her glass, he takes her hand.

“Scully, those photos were all the things in nature that make me go ‘wow’. But there is one missing.”

“Mulder…” Her whisper is like the shiver of leaves on a breeze.

“I don’t have a photo of you because I keep the best images of you in my mind.” He squeezes her hands in his. “I don’t want to share them. I want to keep you all to myself. The ‘you’ you are here. This version. Not Agent, not Doctor, not Partner. Just you. You really are my one in five billion, Scully. If I told you five billion times, it wouldn’t be enough.”

“Mul…”

“Let me say it, Scully. I’m not trying to make us into ‘us’ but I need you to know how much you mean to me.”

She looks up and he sees the stars reflected in her tears.

“Can I…can I kiss you, Scully?”

She sniffs, cuffs away the tears. “Well, this is a date.”

He leans forward and their lips brush, press, open. It’s an out of body experience, kissing Scully. His heart stretches, fills. They pull apart and she smiles shyly. He takes her hand and pulls her up.

“I’m not usually so bold on first dates, Scully, but did you want to try making an ‘us’?”

“Yes, please.” Her words are tentative, breath-formed, light in his ears. An owl hoots and a gentle breeze shifts through the trees. Forest music.

“Would you care to dance?”

She would, she says. And they sway together like the trees.

BIGFOOT lives, no honest it really does - and here's 10 reasons why

Deciding whether or not to put this feature together was a tough one. Its something which I've had to keep on the low, bar telling a few friends that is. Those who I can just about handle laughing at me for making such a wild claim. But its after 5 months or so of much on-line research (or rather listening to Bigfoot sightings on Youtube podcasts while on smoke breaks at work) that my whole thinking and out look on the world, man and life itself has been turned upside down, big style! Leaving me with no other option but to share my findings and either turn your world upside down too or at least give you and your friends and good laugh, like my mine did. So here it is - Bigfoot really does exist, and the United States Government do not want you at all to know anything about this, never mind talk about it. Below are even more reasons why its time to maybe start believing in the existence of what we know as Bigfoot.

1) Bigfoot History

First of all... what exactly is Bigfoot? The missing link, sub-human or pro-typical primitive primate, who knows?. A popular theory though is that BF is in fact 'Gigantopithecus' . An extinct genus of ape that existed from perhaps nine million years to as recently as one hundred thousand years ago in what is now China, India and Vietnam. Many Scientists claim these human-ape like creatures originated in the Caucasus Mountains/Central Asia, which would explain their easy accessibility to the new world and surviving the Ice-Age by crossing  over the land bridge.

But it was actually the legendary Nordic viking Leif Ericson who wrote down the first recorded sighting of Bigfoot. In which the feared viking chief, who was the first to land in N,America in 986 AD came across Sasquatch and described them as "horribly ugly, hairy, swarthy and with great black eyes". Adding that they were also "loud, foul smelling and towered over his men" scaring the vikings away from their discovery of then new world.

Aside from the rather comical 'Finding Bigfoot' series shown today on US TV where so called 'experts' go 'Squatchin'. Which if anything mocks the whole research around Sasquatch with its daft attempts to lure them out in the open in front of a TV camera crew as they paint the creature as the gentle giant of the forest, which it definitely is not. Sasquatch history in the US in fact goes back many centuries with the native American Indian culture being the most familiar with the being. With their history recording many gruesome tales of their battle to live alongside Sasquatch (the very name Sasquatch comes from native American culture also), even today Indian reservations are sighted still as major BF hotspots. More than that there's a list of old time Bigfoot sightings and incidents which can still be found written up in old United States newspapers, some going back as far as 150 to 200 years ago. But aside from this the research going into finding Bigfoot today is now bigger than ever. Our ability to share information, and more importantly the sightings and experiences of hundreds of every day Americans has very much sparked what is with out doubt the biggest search ever staged in the US to find Sasquatch.

2) Bigfoot Sightings through the Ages

Many sightings come from those who obvisouly spend much time in the woods. Deer hunters probably spend more time in the woods than anybody, so it's no wonder that every year reports of Bigfoot sightings come from hunters as well as hikers and campers. Also in the southern states many sightings have come from the weed growers, who understandedly prefer to keep their experinces to themselves so not to bring attention to why they were in the forests in the first place. But with multitudes of sightings, almost weekly with many sightings give the same defining descriptions as each other. With a foul smelling odour in the forests, howling noises never heard before and the feeling of losing all sense power over themselves. going weak at the knees, unable to speak never mind the ability to run away.

The effects on people who have come across Bigfoot have ranged from people losing control of their bodily fluids to all out panic, some have gone on to go to pieces like one chap from Canada who ended up losing his wife, kids and job, hitting the bottle then sadly committing suicide, though many also go on to become researchers themselves with Bigfoot taking over their whole life's. In terms of the area's BF lives in its now believed that migration roots from Canada down both sides of the US coasts are the main stomping grounds of BF with most sightings happening around the summer months. With the more aggressive Bigfoot species in and around Texas and Louisiana where they have been known many times to of attacked, even kill people who live in the main hotspots of the state. Sasquatch, also known to the people of Texas as 'Buggers' are said to be quite aware of the 'man of the woods' which is believed that if you leave them alone they will you alone. But they're also known to keep it to themselves rarely sharing their experiences with 'outsiders'. An understanding which has stayed the same within southern state folklore since the first pioneers set foot in there around the late 1600's.

3) Video Evidence

Yep, there's a stack of phony so called live videos of Bigfoot out there and most of us have seen them. Many of them nothing more than a joke with some guy in a hairy costume leaving what could be just a handful of films as the read thing, but if one video is in fact the real deal then surely it must exist? So make your own mind up and watch the video below showing some of the more popular and trusted Sasquatch sightings out there today. Including such sightings as the 'Harley Hoffman' and the 'Marble Mountian' video and the 'Minnesota Red', shot in 2011.

Though while there's plenty of video sightings out there on line today there's also meant to be many more video sightings which have never been seen by the public. Some reportedly clear as bell, full of detail showing what looks to be the real thing owned by researchers all around the US. But researchers themselves have become so cautious over releasing video evidence of Sasquatch down the years due to the hassle which has gone hand in hand with releasing such videos.

TOP 28 Bigfoot videos

https://youtu.be/ld7y3R7BW-4

But still classed as the most compelling BF video evidence ever filmed is with out doubt the famous 'Patterson/Gimlin' film of 1967, shot at Bluff Creek/C.A (known as 'Patty' due to the beings visible pair of breasts). A film which has been proven time and time again to be the real by a wide range of experts who claim its walk, bone and muscle structure as well as its length of arms and legs are much different to those of a human being. Making them the main deciding factors why Patty is believed to be the real deal. Its a video today which is still being very much worked on as well talked about, in fact more than ever as the net has given the people their own chance to brake the video down, edit it, blow it up and really study it by coming up with new and clever pieces of evidence all the time. Supporting the fact that the Patterson/Gimlin film is in fact genuine and by far still the most referred to Sasquatch footage ever filmed. While there's plenty of video sightings out there on line today there's also meant to be many more video sightings which have never been seen by the public. Some reportedly clear as bell, full of detail and showing what looks to be totally real thing owned by researchers all around the US. But researchers themselves have become so what cautious over releasing video evidence of Sasquatch down the years due to the hassle which has gone with releasing such videos, resulting in them yet to be released for the world to see. But its until an actual body/specimen is found, or unfortunately killed that the question of 'is it real' stays unanswered.

4) Sound

  Apparently many people who have come into contact with Sasquatch become the victims of the creatures massively powerful screams, whaling's, calls and overall presence. Enough to actually vibrate your guts, literally. Which is put down to the fact some people lose the power to flee leaving some of them stationary and totally overwhelmed. Listen to the high quality recorded sounds of Sasquatch on the video above 'top 28 Bigfoot video's' @20:10 mins, Some of those calls are unlike anything you've ever heard before...a sound you'd expect from some sort of 10ft human/primate perhaps. A researcher called Ron Morehaed amazingly caught on tape the sounds of both a supposed male and female Sasquatch actually communicating to each other, apparently arguing with each other. Which is described a 'samuri talk' by researchers it almost sounds like two Russians speaking but speeded up, or something similar. Sent to a speech language expert and found to be natural sounds, in other words not man made or technically created leaving these recordings part of some of the most interesting finds ever made of Bigfoot.

5) Physical Evidence

Rick Dyer's Bigfoot Hoax - Toy Maker Makes Fake Bigfoot Body

With no actual complete speciman ever found the Bigfoot physical evidence is manily made up of footcasts, casts which run into 100's taken from almost every state. Though again not all peices of evidence can be taken as genuine but even if one foot cast is real it would  obviosuly mean Sasquatch really does live. One famous cast, the 'Skookum' cast was said to be off a Sasquatch lying down on a mud bank reaching over to grab some fruit which was left out by researchers. For some time it was held up as one of the finest casts ever taken until it was strongly believed to be fake. Just another example of how far people will go to produce BF evidence. Though no actual bones of Sasquatch have ever been found you've only to ask a hunter who has spent most of the their lives in the woods if they have ever found a bears bones, which is 99% of the time 'no'. Reports also believe that Bigfoot actually take away and bury their dead, something which people who have professed to have shot and killed Bigfoot before have testiefied to. Other evidence includes hair samples which has meant to of been found some years ago in which hi-tech labs could not name the bones actual DNA, though mimicking human and primate DNA looks like nothing thats ever been tested before.

6) US Government

Homeland Security is on the case, and they're not messing around. With many reports, and complaints by US citizens who have made sightings and have then gone on to receive visits from the 'Men in Black'. Who its been claimed that they've even threatened sight seers and reporters of Sasquatch, being repeatedly told in these home visits that 'you didn't see a Bigfoot'. Those who have gone on to make more noise over their sightings have even been either mocked or sternly warned by authorities, some have even gone on to lose their jobs. Though it hasn't stopped some who have given their claims and experiences undercover. Including sightings by FBI officers, soldiers and even state officials who have felt compelled to let their story be known, much to the displeasure of the US authorities. As well as Homeland Security making home calls to people who have dared talk of their experiences, many Bigfoot researchers have also been known to have been not only pulled over but harassed by government officials/federal agents. Being ordered out of national parks and forests with some researchers even arrested and later banned from entering BF hotspots. So why all the fuss? the US Government know whats going on and for some reason are happy to contain it while troubling law abiding visitors to US forests. So if the US government are busy trying to shut BF research down you know somethings got to be going on.

As well as the government interest there's also the issue of the media, who rarely show anything BF on the news despite that is when they are openly mocking the subject as just a farce. So very much like the Kennedy assassination was ignored by the press only for the 'people' to take it on. Its the same story with Sasquatch as its the American people, not the authorities who have researched this subject ever since the Patterson/Gimlin film of the late 60's. And they carry on to do so even more in this age of the Internet where they've collectively made massive steps in the search for Bigfoot within the last 5years.

7) Missing People of the Woods

A very worrying issue indeed, Over 4000 mpeople have disapeared in the last decade in US National Parks and the US Government still refuse to release any information on it at all. Dr David Paulides paints probably the most worrying factor about Sasquatch/Bigfoot which we're aware of today, yet thanks to the US authorities keeping a tight lid of anything Sasquatch related if you haven't done your home work on it you'll of never of heard of the high numbers of missing people who travelling through the US national parks only to disappear into thin air, or so it seems anyway Listen to this talk by Paulides on the work he's done on trying to get to the bottom of one of the US's biggest outdoor mysterys of today.

8) Washington State acknowledges Sasquatch -

In 1975, the US Army Corps of Engineers actually included, and more importantly acknowledged Sasquatch as a unknown species in Washington state. One of Bigfoot's most renowned spots in the U.S.A which has accounted for many latter day sightings of the creature (check the sightings map above). Written up in the 'Washington Environmental Atlas' it made it actually illegal to shoot or kill a Bigfoot as a unknown/unrecognised species. But this acknowledgement infuriated the FBI and refuted their 'verification' of existence, backing-down the Army Environmental Atlas Editor on making such a claim the following year in 1976.

9) Bigfoot murder

Without doubt the most scary and gruesome thing about the whole Bigfoot question are the multiple accounts, stories and official reports of Sasquatch killing visitors to the national parks and forests of the US, its almost like a real life account of your average gory horror flick where the hunter, trekker or .... gets taken off their feet and ripped apart. But this time its all meant to be true, really happening

The reason why the Government are not so much acknowledge Bigfoot/Sasquatch very...1 is that they are actually involved in the breeding of the being, for what?, who know, another is that old issue of money...the effect on the timber industry if Sasquatch was actually confirmed as a living being in the national parks, Federal land and private land of America would mean a mass loss to the US economy due to the most probable outcome of declaring these lands as 'untouchable' and to be left to the Sasquatch to live in. This has been worked out to have an 4% drop in the US economy, mainly hitting the timber trade and the other industries which work alongside it

US wont release records.....David Paulides reports on missing ppl...over 4,000 people have disappeared in US National Parks in last decade. They simply vanished, no trace, no tracks, nothing. Though there have been some that have been found. These are confirmed reports which state some missing people have been found, mostly stuck up in trees...and it gets a lot worse. There are also matching claims that people have been found with their heads twisted all the way round. Yep, sounds like a standard horror flick doesn't it and I for one at the beginning of discovering all of this info was not having one bit. But again these are claims/reports which have been repeated too many times by too many people to be written off as lies.

10) Witness Accounts/Experiences

Something which we can all listen to, think over and come to our own conclusions whether to believe in the hundreds, now probably thousands of accounts and sightings which are made by the average American and are now all over the net, or not. For me personally its these accounts on the podcasts which has turned me on to the whole notion of Bigfoot and its existence...these people sound just too true, sounding either shook up, over-whelmed or just plain mystified for all of them to be making it up. A favourite and trusted source of sightings, information and theories is the 'Sasquatch Chronicles.com' with hosts Woody, Wes and Will, or there's the 'Bigfoot Hotspot Radio' also on Youtube with a quality BF podcast show. Check them out and listen for yourself, because right now there is just too much activity going on whether it be from the US government, activity being caught on tape (now we all have a camera on our phones), the people talking about their own experiences as well as the scientific progress being made with actual unidentified DNA being discovered and strongly believed as belonging to Sasquatch  -

listen to the sighting below which features a delivery driver who accidentally nearly ended up as Bigfoot's supper, obviously still very shaken from his experience its hard not to believe this poor guys account. At the end of the day Sasquatch is either the greatest con of the era of in fact really happening right now, as we speak - you decide...?
