Bigfoot!

My Bigfoot army is finally within my grasp! This little guy is paper, but not imaginary. Also, he's adorable. And free. (Scroll down.)

Model by Paul Shih, hat tip to the blog Paper Forest.


My partner and I were recently watching my Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law DVDs, and Mentok the Mind-Taker shouted "Zombie guards! Seize him! Tell me that's not fun to say."

We cracked up. It was suggested I keep the zombies and turn them into minions. It seems a bit overdone to me, really, and nowhere near as cool as the Sasquatch Militia.

Still no link there. It's okay, I tracked the page in question down and am now wondering which of the items you had in mind for me. There's a lot of zombies, isn't there?

I'm kidding. Based on your partial link, I assume you intended the "How to make an origami vagina" item. I hadn't seen that one in particular, but smutty origami is quite common, mostly because people who spend years trying to fold more and more elaborate things out of smaller and smaller pieces of paper while snarling at those who say things like "If you just tear the corner a bit you can get another flap" probably aren't getting out much.

The naked truth is that it's gotten so bad that there's some friction between the smutty origami purists and the perverts who think decorative money folds are anything other than vulgar and exhibitionistic.

Personally, I think anyone who's not folding cranes is just weird, and I wonder if it's a lifestyle choice or if they're just mentally ill.

And you'll never know how much I appreciated the opportunity to deploy some of those jokes, so thank you.

Just be careful, if you do succeed in converting them to bigfoots (still going with that), you may not be legally able to get rid of them.

On the upside, you may be helping an endangered species. For your own safety, I don't suggest a breeding program.

Also, that site has a lot of coverage of the whole pet food mess, and there's STILL the occasional recall. Blech.
