Bigfoot Needs A Permit

JAFFREY, N.H. — A New Hampshire artist and videographer who dressed as Bigfoot in a state park says his rights were trampled by big government.

Jonathan Doyle, of Keene, has complained in a letter to the state parks department that a Mount Monadnock park ranger halted his performance art project in the fall because he didn't have a permit.

Doyle is arguing through the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union Foundation that his free-speech rights were violated when he was expelled from the state park in Jaffrey. He says he and others with him, some also in costume, were on a lesser-used trail and weren't bothering other park visitors.

Doyle says the state hasn't responded to his letter. The Division of Parks and Recreation says it has been forwarded to the state attorney general's office.

If they weren't bothering anybody, then it doesn't really qualify as art.

Reasons why people want to catch a Bigfoot :

== To see what size shoes they ware
== To ask them to pay taxes like us
== Where's the wife and the kids ?
== Are christian ?
== Gilette wants you to call

The real Bigfoot does not need permit from humans

Bigfoot is an Alian from the Harry Sector of your galaxy

He comes to Earth to collect bear patties, ya, you heard me

it's an expensif delicacy where he come from .

Try the same thing in any other country and the same thing will happen.

For a minute there I thought it was a photo of John McCain in the shower. Then I realized Joe Lieberman isn't in the photo.

Bigfoot needs a permit?

My fellow American's I don't know about you, but when even the mythical monsters of the forest get hassled by govt officials with paperwork, it's time to take our country back!!

Not too sure about that, I just heard on Fox that Bigfoot will be announcing this week that he's retiring from the Senate - and anyway, I think Sasquatch would be a much better fit for Palin: there's strong polling data for him among Independents, which would help undercut one of Yeti's major strengths as a Third Party candidate...still, it's going to be a tough fight for Republicans even if it is Palin/Sasquatch in 2012.

Remember what a bunch of stoners did to the guy in the bigfoot costume at the end of "Strange Wilderness"... In a way, this guy's lucky... ;)

...better conservation efforts need to be put in place if the American Bigfoot population in the lower 48 States is to be saved from the brink of extinction.

With what the National Enquierer is offering to pay for evidence that Big-Foot is real I reckon it is a lucky thing the Dude wasn't shot.
