Forgive lack of clever header, there are no good rhymes for "cryptid."

There is indeed a certain charm in knowing that there's an annual Bigfoot convention. Is there actually a Bigfoot. Hell, I don't know. Certainly there are still species out there we haven't identified, although most are much smaller. 

But the attendees do seem to have an affecting faith in Bigfoot, and perhaps more importantly seem to like him. One says that mainstream science won't believe until there's a body, but that's not a trade he's willing to make.

As for " the sound you'd expect Bigfoot to make when blowing out birthday candles" I can't say I have much of a preconception on that.

I was actually surprised to see how many people are interested in (some obsessed by) finding an actual Bigfoot. If there is such a thing, or likely enough of them to keep the race going, why not just leave them alone? It's pretty obvious after all this time that if they wanted to interact with us humans they'd have done so.

The other thing that's weird of course is the fact that there are no decent photographs of one of the after so much time. I agree with you that most of the living creatures still extant in our world are far smaller. Still, it's nice for people to get together to discuss a mutual interest.

Bigfoot blowing out birthday candles is a step too far for my imagination too.

Jer was delighted to see that Fate magazine is still around.
