I can see where this is going. *panics*
Well, could be worse. I just can't imagine how.
*mutterhowthefuckhaveigottenintothismutter*
KB silly bunny.
A Yeti is the abominable snowman from Asia, the Sasquatch is from the Pacific Northwest. I'm sure they are related though, somewhere along the line.
Tam: 😛 can it be a Yeti-Sasquatch hybrid then?
For some reason I now want to re-watch Harry and the Hendersons. That was such a fun movie.
