Bigfoot Part 2

The Storymatic cards for this week were “bigfoot” and “neighborhood is changing.” One pretty big neighborhood change is someone moving in, and I had written the little stupid bigfoot exchange before, so I decided to do a follow up on that. So here is another stupid conversation between Tim and Greg about Bigfoot.


“Hey, Tim. Remember that time bigfoot left his luggage behind here at the airport?”

“That wasn’t bigfoot. But I remember you bothering me about that, yes.”

“Well, the empty house across the street finally sold. And I’ve seen the guy that bought it recently, and…”

“You’re not going to tell me it’s bigfoot, are you, Greg?”

“Tim, I shit you not. It’s fucking bigfoot.”

“Shut the fuck up, Greg.”

“No, no look at this pic I took. He was walking his dog-“

“Bigfoot has a dog.”

“Yes, but look at the picture. Just look.”

“… Okay, so that is a very hairy dude. But it can’t be bigfoot.”

“Tim, it’s fucking bigfoot. Look at the size of those flip flops! He has to custom order shoes that big. They look like a fucking joke, they’re enormous.”

“That doesn’t mean-“

“And look at how fucking hairy his feet are. If he were tiny, I’d say hobbit, but he’s got to be about 7 or 8 feet tall…”

“Listen, Greg, you can’t go around taking pictures of your neighbors because you think they’re sasquatch.”

“What’s a sasquatch?”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake!”

“Tim… wait, Tim come back! I’ve got more pictures! Look!”

Bigfoot

The prompt cards this time: an extremely hairy person, and unclaimed baggage. For the record, I don’t know whether anyone working security or baggage claim areas would ever bother to look at video like this – it’s just a story. A super short, super stupid one. Enjoy? Or not.


“Hey, Tim, take a look at this security footage.”

“Sure. What is it?”

“I was looking into that weird luggage that got left behind. The one with all the ‘I believe in Bigfoot’ stickers all over it, that had that really funky scent to everything and all the clothes were covered in fur and twigs.”

“Isn’t it about time to auction that one off? No one’s asked about it.”

“Yeah, so I was kinda curious. This guy right here. Look strange?”

“Holy shit, he’s tall. Look at how he towers over the people he’s standing next to. Got to be at least 7 feet.”

“I know the video’s not great, but look closer.”

“…you gotta be fucking kidding me.”

“Tell me you see what I see.”

“That can’t be. That’s just some really huge, really hairy dude.”

“No. No, tell me what you thought it was first.”

“Dude looks like Bigfoot.”

Dude looks exactly like Bigfoot!”

Pause. “There’s no way that’s actually Bigfoot. He’s wearing clothes! He just got off a flight. Everyone would see him. Also, he’s right there. If this is his luggage, why didn’t he claim it?”

“Just watch. Here. See, he spots it, he steps forward and then… bam, kid grabs it to look at the stickers on it. You can see the dad scolding her and telling her to put it back, it’s getting a lot of attention from nearby people, and look at Bigfoot.”

“Stop calling him that. ….so he just backs away?”

“Yeah. He must not have wanted anyone looking at him too close. Because he’s Bigfoot. See – he just hovers there looking nervous, then he decides to leave.”

“That can’t be fucking Bigfoot.”

“And there he goes. He doesn’t even get in a vehicle. He just walks off. Probably back to his mountain. Look at how he walks. It’s just like that video!”

“That’s not Bigfoot. The dude had to get through security. He had to be able to buy a plane ticket. He had to have an ID with his fucking picture on it! No way Bigfoot has all of that. It’s just some dude that’s really tall and hairy.”

“That hairy though?”

“If my cousin were shirtless, you’d think he was wearing a sweater. Some dudes are just that fuzzy.”

“Okay, let me back this up. Watch this again.”

“This is a waste of my time, Greg.”

“Look at his feet. He’s not wearing shoes!”

Another pause. “He could be wearing those weird foot shaped fuzzy slippers.”

“No way! I’m telling you, Tim, that’s fucking Bigfoot!”

“I’m not listening to this anymore.”

“We should totally post this footage online! Modern Bigfoot footage, Bigfoot among us! He’s in the skies now!”

“Shut the fuck up, Greg.”
