State senator proposes ban on public funding of Bigfoot hunting

Without commenting on the merits of a bigfoot hunt, If it’s a reasonably large sasquatch conference, I bet it brings in more than $7,000 of additional spending to the region.

…of course he went there already.

In all fairness, could the senator be ignorant of the main thrust of the course, (benefit of the doubt) education?

Hell, you could teach a Harry-Potter-themed potions chemistry course, couldn’t you? As long as the curriculum is being taught in an interesting manner that attracts interest and promotes retention of knowledge, why would it be bad?

Now that’s just offensive. I know that Chuck Tingle writes all of this stuff to be intentionally provocative but that kerning is atrocious.

Gigantopithecus was a 10 foot tall, 1200 pound orangutan that was extant until 100000 years ago. It is possible that a human had had sex with one, but i wouldn’t recommend it.

I hope that if said event ever happened the human at least had some say in the matter. :grimacing:

If it happened, the human had no say

The $7000 wasn’t for the conference, it was to fund the professor’s camping trip.

Also, there’s a real question whether it’s appropriate for an educational institution to be hosting a conference dedicated to the spreading of lies, nonsense, and con artistry, however lucrative. You wouldn’t want your local medical school to promote homeopathy, would you, even at a tidy profit?

Doesn’t mean the state make a law against it. Doesn’t even mean a Bigfoot conference is necessarily a bad idea - it’s a rich cultural vein worth discussing. But any conference that features speakers lying to the audience should embarrass the university, no matter how well attended it was.

Why does it have over the nose technology

Because “over the nose” is better than “over the top.”

But seriously, it’s their humorous way of saying that the vessel has a large opening at the top. It doesn’t have a smaller opening like Klean Kanteen or a spout like many others.

I’d rather we fund this monster…

Why call it big foot instead of big mouth?

Unless a big mouth is where a big foot goes

Well daaaang. If New Mexico blocks PUFF bounties, then 6 months later they will be overrun by gnomes. The rest of us are going to need a wall. Fortunately, it doesn’t need to be a big wall :slight_smile:

That bigfoot sommelier just cracks me up.

“The pinot gris is too delicate, but do I risk recommending the savignon blanc? It could overpower the seafood!”

I’m not sure rule 34 should apply here: “If it exists, there is porn of it” - you see the problem?

It wasn’t a professor, it was the CEO. As usual, the locus of corruption in academia is the administrators rather than the academics.

That search would also constitute a waste of money.

Shush you, be happy with your cake.

Too late.
