Ray Wallace, one of the first Bigfoot researchers, died of heart failure on November 26 at age 84, and his family now says he created the Bigfoot prints he claimed to have discovered in 1958. “Ray L. Wallace was Bigfoot. The reality is, Bigfoot just died,” says son Michael Wallace.

This year?s winner is Wendy Perriam for a description in her novel “Tread Softly.” It contains the lines “Weirdly, he was clad in pin-stripes at the same time as being naked. Pin-stripes were erotic, the uniform of fathers, two-dimensional fathers. Even Mr. Hughes’s penis had a seductive pin-striped foreskin.” The runner-up was Nicolas Coleridge, author ?Godchildren,? in which he describes a man stroking his lover “like a groom reassuring a frightened foal.” Previous winner Christopher Hart used a polar exploration as a metaphor for love-making.
