Imponderable #61: Kalispell Montana

September 7, 2012

Are you familiar with ghillie suits? They are used by the military as camouflage. Imagine a dreadlocked Chewbacca dyed camouflage colors and you’ve got it.

And now, armed with that bit of background, on to the Imponderable.

Ah, what won’t people do for fame? I love the fact that the Trooper suspected that “alcohol may have been a factor.” Of course it was! Had to be! alcohol is always a factor in the fun things in life, like drunk driving, running naked through your in-law’s house,  or waking up next to Lindsay Lohan because c’mon, no one would do any of that sober.

“I think I am going to stand along the side of the road in a ghillie suit and fake a Sasquatch sighting” is generally not a sober thought unless you are a frat guy and even then you are likely drunk at any given hour of the day anyway. But this guy was 44 so there goes that excuse.

The funny part, the real insult added to injury (literally) part, is that after he got hit, he was hit by another car while he was lying in the road. At this point I am proud to say that the ghillie suit was working rather well. God bless our military.

BTW- did anyone else notice that the ages of the drivers that hit him were 17 and 15? We have an alcohol fueled imbecile, a piece of military equipment being misused, and ridiculously young drivers. Montana? This sounds like Hazzard County. Are Bo and Luke accounted for?

I have to admit that this is my favorite Imponderable to come down the road in quite a while. What did this guy want to get out of it? As practical jokes go this is pretty lame.

Why would anyone want to fake a Sasquatch sighting?

The question is Imponderable.

But very, very funny.

Bruce Vilanch is a Good Guy, I Think.

Recently I wrote a blog entitled In Search of… Sasquatch in which I speculated that perhaps some of the Bigfoot sightings could be attributed to Bruce Vilanch, and illustrated my point with this picture:

I remember him mostly from Hollywood Squares, where he was very funny. I have nothing against the guy, but look at that picture- you can see how he would be confused for a big hairy hominid if he were seen walking through some dense woods.

And then a few days later I received this in my email:

so many people forwarded your blog to me….i am humbled.  this almost makes up for florence henderson being booted off dancing with the stars.

The return address was bvilanch. I can only assume that the man himself sent this to me. (And if he didn’t and this is some other guy, I’m going ahead like it is him anyway.) Frankly, I am humbled that A- he would reply to a lowly blogger like me and B- we would totally agree about Florence Henderson’s shabby treatment on Dancing with the Stars.

At any rate, I appreciate it that he didn’t sic a team of high powered libel attorneys on me, and that he took it in the spirit in which it was meant.

I do, however, have a bone to pick with him.

According to the always correct and can’t possibly be wrong Wikipedia, Bruce Vilanch co-wrote the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special.

I don’t know whether to hug him or hit him.

Bruce Vilanch has had an amazing writing career, winning multiple Emmy Awards and has done wonderful charity work for AIDS and other causes. Certainly, however, his biggest accolade is yet to come, as he becomes a member of

MR. BLOG’S CELEBRITY HALL OF FAME

We thank you, Bruce Vilanch, for your tireless support.
