Glad there was no typo, too. How to measure something in fondlings?
(An imperial fondling is the distance a hand can travel in 2 seconds. A metric fondling is how long it takes to touch the whole surface of a particular platinum bar in a museum somewhere in Paris.)

Speaks English, knows about the political situation and disappears in a literal puff of smoke. I.e. Bigfoots are magic, not living animals, which is obviously why no one ever finds any evidence of them.

A magic Bigfoot that talks and can see the future. We’ve hit the trifecta of weird shit. Ya gotta wonder if Crockett’s previous meal had included any mushrooms.

“I swear to you, Abner, that whatever meat or sausage disagreed with me that afternoon, I swore off all beef and hog for a day or so afterward.”
