    [rquoter](CNN) -- A man trying to create a Bigfoot hoax on a highway died after being hit by two cars, officials in Montana said.

    Randy Lee Tenley dressed in a Ghillie suit -- camouflage designed to resemble heavy foliage -- and stepped out onto Highway 93 Sunday night, officials said.

    "He probably would not have been very easy to see at all," said Jim Schneider, a state trooper.

    A 15-year-old girl hit him with her car, another car swerved, and a third car driven by a 17-year-old ran him over, CNN affiliate KECI reported.

    Tenley was "well into the driving lane," and according to his companions he was "attempting to incite a sighting of Bigfoot -- to make people think they had seen a Sasquatch," Schneider said in the KECI report.

    But authorities received no calls from drivers thinking they had seen Bigfoot, the station reported.

    Officials with Montana Highway Patrol District 6, which includes Flathead County where the incident took place, could not be reached for comment Tuesday morning.[/rquoter]

    Yea...it might have worked but he couldn't see where he was going under all that sasquatchedness and ended up in the middle of a lane on a highway.

    DOH!

    I guess he should have planned it a little better. I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at his funeral.

    "He died doing what he loved...which was to fool traffic into thinking he was a real sasquatch. Unfortunately, it worked too well because not only did he look the part...his brain emulated the animal instincts of not understanding he was in the middle of a freeway...which is why noone can find any sasquatches around because they were all roadkill and the remains were mistaken for bears afterwards. Rest in peace, young sasquatchian brother" *snicker

    I still think I would prefer to die this way than to be hit by a javelin while volunteering at a kids track meet.

    Although this is certainly not the only yay-hoo to live in and around Kalispell, it really is a nice area...........this is only a short drive away:

    This doesn't shock me. I grew up in a nearby county and people just don't have much to do and it leads to shenanigans like this.

    For example....

    I remember a time where we purposefully put a big honey glazed ham in a camping fire and then put it on a chain and hooked it to a tree branch. (trying to attract a bear to our camp)

    Or eat a bunch of magic mushrooms and go wander around in someones cornfield at 3 in the morning.

    Paintballing cattle, stray dogs.

    Seeing if you ran run the skunk down before it sprays your car.

    Blowing up snakes with fireworks (in my defense, this is when I was very young)

    In 6th grade (this would have been 98) We had a typing class. Half of the class literally used typewriters because we only had 8 computers.

    Montana is a pretty place, but it always drove me to dumb stuff.
