Modelling the new "Bigfoot" range of shoes (shown here beside a 36" manhole) is previous World Championship Wrestling great Fakit Bigtime who wrestled as "Gigantous".

He commented that the shoes are a wonderful fit and the money he saves with this gift set will allow him to repair the scuffed hem on his trousers.

This is far more desirable that what I see down manholes EVERY day and probably also smells a little better.

When Fracking becomes so safe that everyone wants to be Fracked the laws will mandate that all surfaces be prepared for that glorious hole to be drilled.

Dateline in the near future; February 2nd, 2015:... Today, this morning on groundhog day, Puxutawny Phil emerged from his recently renovated, upscale, time capsule condominium, and saw a shadow, rumoured to perhaps not to be his own shadow, possibly caused by the legs of the local county's wildlife control officer... Further news at 11 to find out, from Phil's lawyer, if he was able to get a bail hearing...And be sure to stay tuned after the news for the upcoming weather report.
