Title: So, Bigfoot eh?
Post by: est on 13 Aug 2008, 21:47

So what do we all make of this thing: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24179242-2,00.html and http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com

Ape suit with a bit of offal thrown over it?

They are holding some kind of press conference:

Date: Friday, August 15, 2008
Time: From 12Noon-1:00pm
Place: Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto, 4290 El Camino Real
Palo Alto, California 94306

So I guess we'll know for sure after this weekend?  I mean, the whole thing sounds totally dodgy.  They say they found the carcass and "several live bigfoot creatures nearby" but don't want to tell where to "protect the creatures."

Sometimes when I hear about people in certain situations I wonder why they didn't pick a different, more useful hobby. Like knitting. Or origami. Or selling their bodies for cocaine.

This is one of those times.

I would probably join their expedition to capture a live bigfoot.

But only if we did it in late 1800's style.

If its bigfoot why is it jammed and crunched up in a form, where you can't really make out what it is.

The hunters claim several Bigfoots were spotted walking upright in the area the body was found but won't reveal the location "to protect the creatures"

omg lyke protect the Bigfeet man! We can't let the Man get them, man!



This "bigfoot" looks kinda like how a stuffed animal looks when you shove it in a box that's too small for it.

I'd imagine that if it was real, or even if they were trying to fake it convincingly, they'd have documented it a little more thoroughly than it seems like they have from the article. If they have a body there should be nothing stopping them from taking good, definitive pictures of it.

And the watermarks on their photo look really silly.

This calls for Theodore Roosevelt.

Incidently, I'm glad that I haven't seen the words 'science' or 'scientists' bandied about in regards to this.

For some reason I want this all to be a rediculous publicity stunt for an as yet unnanounced movie.
Like, five minutes into the conference, Sasquatch jumps up and rips off his flesh, only to reveal a Power Ranger underneath.

How does one become a "professional" Bigfoot hunter?

I mean, what's your source of income?

Post by: Verergoca on 14 Aug 2008, 14:45

Books on how you not find him, duh!

Also, motivational speakerism

viral marketing of some sort

So, the press conference was had and the verdict is.... undecided. The DNA samples the finders got came back inconclusive, human, and possum. They showed a few more pictures and revealed that they would reveal the body later, when a scientist friend of theirs comes back from vacation. They said they were right, other people said they are hoaxers. Who knows? I guess we're still in suspense.

You may have found it, but do you have a photo of one(that looks suspiciously like the costume of it) in a freezer and a call to specific scientists that may eventually prove the existence of what you have to back up such a spectacular find? I thought not.

I mean, what are you going to do? Go public? Bwahahahaha

Anyone else reminded of that simpsons episode where they find an angel, but it all ends up as an advert for a shopping centre?

I gave Paul Bunyan a posh handjob once in a Montana truckstop.

Posh handjob is with a condom.

No cure for all different cancers; but for some, yes - and most if diagnosed early enough.  They cured mine twenty years ago.

There's an article summing it up I saw on Fark. This is the best line:

Gregg was joined shortly by a man clad in a Chewbacca costume. He also came with a sign, but his read "We hide for a reason."
