@Yutsano: It was this or send an email where every other word was fuck. I decided this was both more amusing and we needed a new open thread.

As a Seattle-area resident, I keep hoping our next professional sports team calls itself the Sasquatches and adapts a logo like that one there.
cain
Hey.. Didn’t he guest star in an episode of the 80s Incredible Hulk show?
Emma
Is… is that you, BiloSagdiyev?
Also, since this is an open thread, I just read a truly tragic (non-sarcastic) NYT article titled “The Three Kidnappings of N.: How Corporate Kidnapping Works.” I have no words for how scummy the mercenaries who partner with shitty parents are. Quote from the guy in the article who finally succeeded in kidnapping his daughter in Thailand and crossing the border into Laos: “I felt more at home there, or more comfortable there, because Laos had been colonized by the French, and it had done them a lot of good.” OK, if I didn’t already know which parent to trust in this story, I DEFINITELY know at that point.

@Geoduck: That’s the original Colorado Avalanche shoulder patch/alternate logo. I liked it better than the new monotone variant of the state logo.

@cain: That’s Ted Cassidy who played Lurch on the Addams Family. When Andre the Giant was not able to/was unwilling to reprise his role as Bigfoot on the Six Million Dollar Man, Cassidy took over the role for the two part episode Bigfoot Returns.

@Adam L Silverman: Addams. Not to be confused with John Quincy.

@Mike in NC: I’m pretty sure I know how to spell Adam! Dammit!

As a resident of the PNW much as I would love Sasquatches to be real, I gotta admit they’re probably bears or drunk hunters or drunk bears:

I knew that face was familiar!! :-) But I mixed up the 80s shows.. although I could be forgiven for mixing them up I think! :-)

There is an XKCD for this thread: https://xkcd.com/1235/
Adam L Silverman
@Doug R: Or bears that are now drunk because they ate drunk hunters.
Old Dan and Little Ann
That Bigfoot picture is everything (as the kids say).
cain
@Kent:
There is always an xkcd strip.
Ken
@Doug R: But they’re in that Progressive commercial. Or maybe it’s Geico – no, they’re still doing the gecko. Pretty sure it’s Progressive.
RepubAnon
@Kent: That reminds me of an old New Yorker cartoon of two explorers being chased by a hungry Allosaur. One of them says to the other “Now I know why everyone thinks they’re extinct!”
Kent
@cain: As someone on the other thread wrote: Everyone in the world started carrying networked cameras and like magic, all the UFOs disappeared and police brutality suddenly broke out everywhere.
As did the Karens.
Ken
BTW for those of you slumming in this comments section, Biden has pulled a surprise upset and taken the Democratic nomination.
Ken
@Kent: So I have to ask*, are you saying that UFOs were preventing police brutality?
* Ask again, since I also posted it in the other thread.
Kent
@Ken: Maybe they were keeping the Karens in line too.

Bigfoot gets around. Not just Progressive Insurance ads but several Jack Links Jerky commercials. We still love the old ‘herding cats’ ad from EDS, where I worked in DC.

@Kent: @Ken: @Kent: It was the anal probes.

@Ken: You mean the one with Flo and Daryl. Hilarious.
Ken
@e julius drivingstorm: Right, though my favorite Progressive commercial is the one that is the last scene of a movie, with credits rolling while Flo and some guy talk insurance. The cast list is hilarious.
Kent
@Ken: Mine was the one when they are explorers and discover the tribe of natives who can only speak “insurance”
Jim, Foolish Literalist
@Adam L Silverman: something I will never unsee, a factoid I will probably remember on my deathbed
Adam L Silverman
@Jim, Foolish Literalist: You’re welcome.
Sister Golden Bear
@Kent: The UFOs were really time machines transporting the brutal cops and the Karens into the past.
(Just like XKCD, there’s always a “Repo Man” clip.)
Jim, Foolish Literalist
@Ken: I don’t know which company makes the ad, but the one where the young couple buys a house with an aunt problem. As somebody with a lot of aunts, that one hits home.
