I do feel compelled to point out that the second picture you posted (aka _Stock Footage_) has been publicly exposed as a fraud recently. It was a guy in a gorilla suit. I kid you not. In fact, how do you know it wasn’t that same guy _you_ saw? ---

[QUOTE=Crotalus] I didn’t see any wingtips. [/QUOTE] My cousin Vinnie saw them at his shoe shine stand. The Yeti did not leave a tip. ---

Big shoes on something scary? I think he saw a clown. ---

I saw it quite clearly. It is a male Bigfoot carrying wingtip shoes, running in terror from its mate because he forgot to put out the carrion for pickup and he knows better than to leave another task for her because she stays home all day and works and works and slaves over a cold rock, trying to prepare a hot meal while he is out hanging around drinking and ogling young female Bigfoots. I warned him not to marry the bitch but he wouldn’t listen. And for those who truly want to know: Yes, his appendage is in proportion to his feet and his feet are quite huge; easily a size twenty. I’m glad the OP got such a clear picture and posted it for us to see. For me, the argument is over: Bigfoot exists although I now believe he should be known as BigJohnson or perhaps more simply as Donkey Dohickey. I warned somebody not to marry the bitch; maybe it wasn’t BigBoy after all. ---
