Bigfoot

[sausagetree]

I haven't updated this journal in ages, and I'll tell you why. It's because there's nothing to tell. I'm a trash man. I haul trash, and that's it. I get up at a miserable hour, walk bleary -eyed to the shop, kick my truck's tires, fire up the engine, and after climbing in and out of the cab a minimum of 267 times in a single day, I park, walk home

I read the whole thing! I should get a prize (e.g. a sasquatch steak if you bag one).

I am one of the complainers you mention but I am not offended. I view this livejournal thingy as an electric spleen, prime for venting. It has other functions as well (like providing the canvas for an impromptu poem or a place to gloat over accomplishments or just a convenient online salon to coordinate trips with other electric-spleen-ventors).

Will you be doing a documentary of your quest? If so, can we get Leonard Nimoy to do the narration?

You will have the first choice of sasquatch cut! Nimoy has already contacted me, offering his services, but I'm holding out a bit, just to keep him on his toes. He'll probably get the job, though.

I don't think you're one of the complainers. Most of your posts seem to turn into philosophical musings, which is perfectly acceptable in "Tim's Book of Acceptable Postings." That's not to say that I read them all, as many of them fall outside of my own sphere of experience, but even then I always read the first and last paragraph. So, if you would, kind sir, always make sure your first and last paragraphs are particularly inspiring or entertaining.
Also, you should write more poetry, because I always read it, and it's always good, and everyone agrees with me. If you do these things, I will adorn your next birthday cake with candles woven from the nose hair of a sasquatch.

I read the whole thing too, and demand a portion of Wilkins' prize.

The feeling has always been mutual!

I'll bag a big'un!

Sing a song of bigfoot, and poke him in the eye!
Four and twenty bigfoots, baked in a pie!
When the pie was opened, they did a bigfoot dance!
Silly, silly bigfoots! They never stood a chance!

And I always took you as an outdoorsy type! You gotta read Tom Brown Jr.'s Trail Guide to Nature Observation and Tracking. What used to be just a good ol hike is now spent climbing trees and getting down on the ground trying to figure out how old that raccoon print is and where it was headed, what's it's gender, how fast it was going, and what it ate for lunch. Someones gotta be the expert on if that's really big foot or if it's just some dude in oversized monkey slippers. It could be you! Seriously, this book makes me want to go rescue stranded dumb asses for a living!
