The Abominable Blo-Man
The Abominable Blo-Man is a humanlike creature so named because it is associated with the perpetual snow region of the Himalayas. A figure unknown except through tracks ascribed to it and through alleged encounters, it is described as being 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m) tall, although, ironically, it's hooping-skills leave much to be desired. Attempts after the 1950s to verify the authenticity of its tracks (notably by Sir Edmund Hillary in 1960) have yielded no conclusive results. Most scholars dismiss the existence of the creature. A somewhat similarly described creature of W North America is known as Blofoot or Blosquatch.
Dr. Marvin Monroe of Springfield Anatomical Research: "After extensive biological and anatomical testing, I regret to announce that our findings are... inconclusive. This thing may or may not be human."
"This specimen is either a below-average human being or a brilliant beast."

Not so fast, Blo. At least Bill actually posts.
Who's the weenie now?
Wait -- so you opted to do this instead of that post on how youth ministry has affected church culture we talked about?
Weenie.
