It’s an interesting conceit, and apparently people are down on the idea.

I dunno why people keep acting like Bigfoot’s this big mystery. We got ‘em all over the place here. Hell, I’ve even got a hold of a couple of the papers, tried to set ‘em straight, arrange an meeting or two. They told me to stop calling.

Maybe it’s because they stay out in the woods? The Bigfoots, I mean, not the papers. But, yeah, the Bigfoots like it out there in the woods, especially in the national parks. Everybody leaves ‘em alone out there. Well, everybody human.

What? Oh, yeah, Bigfoots, they’re not the only weird folks out there. And, hell, weird or not: you can still call Bigfoots ‘folks.’ There’s critters out in the woods and lonely places that aren’t nearly so amiable.
