run through the woods, full of Nutella and birthday cake and anti-encouragement and, okay, maybe they weren't making up the Sasquatch thing.

I have to tell you, it took a great deal of bravery to overcome years of popular culture lies ranging from the angst of grunge to the way the characters were always coming in from a "rainstorm" on Frasier, but sometimes intrepid explorers are rewarded for their daring.
