    I’m assuming this went down like the church scene from The Blues Brothers. Some lady goes out to the woods to get a little clarity where a bright light from heaven shines down on her and instead of James Brown, Bigfoot appears and says, “Have you seen the light!?”

    And she’s like, Yes! Yes! Jesus H Tapdancing Christ! I have seen the light!"

    And just like that, she’s off on a mission from God.

    I think I’d be a terrible park official. I’d say the same things, but always with a winky face.

    Bigfoot isn’t real ;)

    That’s our official stance ;)

    It’s terrible in most scenarios now that I think of it…

    Be sure to stay hydrated out on the trail ;)

    Please evacuate the grounds, there is a wildfire burning ;)

    In order to sue you have to show damages. It seems like she can only show benefits. Maybe she can gain more weight than she lost before she goes to court and start dating an asshole or something.

    Why is the changing her life part (losing weight and getting a divorce after seeing Bigfoot) relevant? Did she leave her husband to try to get with Bigfoot and is suing the state because they claim her new beau doesn’t exist? Wild!

      No, you’ve misunderstood. She married the Bigfoot and now she’s suing because she was perfectly happy not knowing he was just a bear. They had a destination wedding in London and the divorce lawyer’s bear-wedding annulment fee was 125 pounds.

        Right, see, those are relevant because they show the value of that inspiration. Inspiration that could have brought many more valuable changes to her life if she still had it, but sadly the park service stole that inspiration from her, along with many potential benefits it could have brought her if they’d just let her remain blissfully ignorant of the true identity of the inspiring bigfoot she thought she saw.

        How come even in 2024 with 4k HDR 120FPS video cameras on smartphones in everyone’s pockets, the alleged videos of Bigfoot are still complete mush?

        I don’t even see a bear in that video. It’s not clear there’s anything besides trees. It’s just a big dark blob.

      Probably because she thought that the impossible was possible and took action based on that change in perception.

      Dating bigfoot being the impossible thing.

        But why would that lead her to sue the park for saying it was a bear? Seems unrelated.

          Probably because they killed her changed mindset with it and now she is worried of falling back into old habits

      Guy on one side of the forest does a squatch call.

      Guy on other side of the forest hears it.

      “I think theres a squatch in these woods!”

    She had best be prepared to regain those 125 lbs and remarry her husband then?

    (I have no idea what I’m saying here tbh, but that does seem in keeping with this headline!)

    Wait a minute… realization slowly dawns: exactly who is the “bear” supposed to be here?!?! 🙃
