No matter what they call him, he still has big feet! Tell us, have you seen Big Foot wandering the neighborhood?
~KitchenManager #1
Someone called?
~wolf #2
*lol*
~stacey #3
yoooo hoooo!
~aschuth #4
Is that your mobile phone ringing, Wolf?
~stacey #5
oh no... Don't pick it up while you're driving Wolfie... Don't. Don't do it!!!!!
~wolf #6
i'd be pretty darned talented if i could drive, pick up the phone, AND chat away on the computer, huh? couldn't be, though, the mobile is off.
~aschuth #7
Then WHO IS standing behind me?
~aschuth #8
Big Foot is at my place right now, and mashes the Mac!
~wolf #9
whatever you do, don't pull out the camera, this seems to make the dude disappear even faster. give him a hug...ok, well, maybe after you get him into the shower and cleaned up a bit. i found a site on what to do if you meet a big foot but forgot the url. will have to look.....
~aschuth #10
It's late at night. He's left now, and I hope he gets home okay. Anyway, thank you, Big Foot, things look much better now (at least those that work...)!
~wolf #11
okay, here's the "guide to meeting a big foot" url i promised: http://www.wenet.net/~kylemi/bfguide.html
~wolf #12
the link does work, but the actual site has moved and it doesn't automatically take you there. so here's the new url address: http://www.hooked.net/~kylemi/bigfoot

Wow, what a drastic scene, these Big Foot folks! Did you read the "Why I'm outta here"-page the host has? Anyway, I did fairly ok by the handbook (paragraphs from the link you posted): 1.) The main rule: whatever you do, don't panic. Remember, there hasn't been a single case of Bigfoot ever harming a human being. Those that I know that have encountered them have repeatedly stated that although frightened, they were never under any impression that one would harm them. 2.) Don't make any sudden moves or do anything that could be construed as threatening. (What does that mean? Use your best judgement.) 3.) Bend down and sniff a flower. Alternately, raise one open hand to the Bigfoot and hold in your other hand a flower or similar offering. 4.) If you have any food, hold some out. Vegetable matter is preferred instead of meat; lima beans are favored. Fruits, especially peaches, are good too. If you do hold out food, don't be surprised if it approaches you to accept. 5.) Stick around--some of them know how to communicate.

So, I didn't panic. Big Foot seemed to know what to do... Haven't been properly frightened, I guess. On weekends, I don't move fast, anyway (keep the energy for workdays...). The bending down thing was avoided in mutual agreement. I offered a nice coffee, but Big Foot opted for some nice mineral water. We had pizza for supper, with a nice salad. Big Foot had a pizza with maize (corn), cheese and tomatoes. No meats. Later, we talked about lots of things. What a nice day!
~wolf #15
wow...you have the gift!
~aschuth #16
Thank you. Have you ever been visited by a Big Foot? (Hey, a miracle Wer didn't get here first to comment this "bending down" thing, not?)
~wolf #17
i know! the only big foot i know resides in this house and he's not on the list of the paranormal...
~aschuth #18
... is that a disappointment for you? And does the handbook apply, too?
~wolf #19
nah.....things could be worse.....
~KitchenManager #20
what size shoe does he wear, Wolf? I wear a 13, and my feet are smaller than my little brother's and my dad's...
~wolf #21
oh, well, then you are THE BIGFOOT! how tall are you with feet like that? no, i pick on my bigfoot because his feet make me think of fred flintstone!
~wolf #22
oh wait! i didn't read who was posting. wer, you're over 6' right? i thought it was alex *grin*
~aschuth #23
No, sorry to disappoint you, dear Wolf, but I am not the Big Foot who was at my place. I am the Alexander who was at his place when the Big Foot visited.
~stacey #24
the was WER who was at your place... being the bigfoot (and how come it's bigfoot and not bigfeet??)
~wolf #25
oh, you didn't notice? they only find one print at a time!!
~stacey #26
but he's gotta have two to carry that body around, no?
~wolf #27
unless he's really good at hopping on one foot!!
