Man shoots at Bigfoot,
OK, I’m with you so far.
…only it isn’t Bigfoot
What?! I did not see that coming.
I fear a lesson in gun safety might lead to a lesson in marksmanship.
I know a man who got shot in Montana by a man in a boat going down a river. He often emails him once a year to remind him to identify his target. He usually gets a response full of swearing.
You can tell it wasn’t Bigfoot, because there isn’t one.
There are guns.
There are idiots.
Then you have idiots with guns.
"Man shoots at people, knows damn well they aren’t bigfoot."
“Media and police make relaxed jokes about guy who went around shooting at people”
On top of that, hunting season is over. There’s no reason for anyone to be wearing orange anymore.
I can see this as being turned into a movie. Sort of “Station Agent” meets “Deliverance”. Staring Peter Dinklage as the man who gets shot mistakenly for being a bear cub (or son of Bigfoot) and the shooter played by Ed Norton with a Southern almost unintelligible accent possibly the result of tourette syndrome.
And now we know why.
Ah, ah, ah, ah stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive!
I’m glad to hear Bigfoot is ok
Regardless, I would support a law against shooting them.
I see a poorly socialized guy in a ghillie suit roasting a camper.
Is the sasquatch so well hidden that we can’t see it in the background?
I’d watch that
