    Cool Well, since you brought it up...

    A few years back I decided to heckle the Bigfoot lovers by going to the main Website: "The Bigfoot Field Research Center" and really yank their chain! 1st, in their FAQ area, somebody asked "why hasn't a Bigfoot been shot by accident by hunters?" Their answer was really stupid as they said that: "Hunters are very careful about what they aim at and shoot. They are very specific about their targets." (You can chime in on this one, Ken.) Another Bigfoot report said that HUGE feetprints were found by the 4th tee of some golf course, but only around the Tee area; no tracks leading up to it, none leading away. I asked if their had been any reports of a large, hairy, 7 foot golfer driving around the golf course in a golf cart that day yelling "FORE!" in a loud, gutteral voice. No answer. But they really came out of the wood work over the Rant Mullens report!(http://www.csicop.org/si/show/bigfoo...nce)Here's part of it:
    Hoaxes, the Gold Standard, and the Problem of Experts

    Such hoaxes have permanently and irreparably contaminated Bigfoot research. Skeptics have long pointed this out, and many Bigfoot researchers freely admit that their field is rife with fraud. This highlights a basic problem underlying all Bigfoot research: the lack of a standard measure. For example, we know what a bear track looks like; if we find a track that we suspect was left by a bear, we can compare it to one we know was left by a bear. But there are no undisputed Bigfoot specimens by which to compare new evidence. New Bigfoot tracks that don't look like older samples are generally not taken as proof that one (or both) sets are fakes, but instead that the new tracks are simply from a different Bigfoot, or from a different species or family. This unscientific lack of falsifiability plagues other areas of Bigfoot research as well.
    Bigfoot print hoaxing is a time-honored cottage industry. Dozens of people have admitted making Bigfoot prints. One man, Rant Mullens, revealed in 1982 that he and friends had carved giant Bigfoot tracks and used them to fake footprints as far back as 1930 (Dennett 1996). In modern times it is easier to get Bigfoot tracks. With the advent of the World Wide Web and online auctions, anyone in the world can buy a cast of an alleged Bigfoot print and presumably make tracks that would very closely match tracks accepted by some as authentic."

    The BFRO also hate this magazine:

    However, this photo of Bigfoot was NOT out of focus!

    I just called Bigfoot's office but they wouldn't let me talk to him. They said he was "in a meeting". Right. They did take my number and said "someone" would call me back. I said someone? I want some THING to call me back at which point she hung up on me.

    You didn't refer to BF as "Mr. Sasquatch!" Also, please remember that the term "UFO" does NOT mean "Alien Spacecraft," right Doug?

    Cool Regarding "UFOs"

    Olay boys & girls, here's the 411: You CANNOT, by any stretch of the imagination, call an Alien Spacecraft a UFO...here's why!

    1st...the term, UFO is the initials meaning "Unidentified Flying Object." That can be ANY object that flies & hasn't yet been identified: An airliner, a Sea-gull, a Box-Kite, a run-away helium balloon, etc..

    2nd...Once you've identified it it becomes an IFO, or, an Identified Flying Object.

    3rd...if you've labeled a UFO as an Alien Spacecraft it is no longer UNIDENTIFIED, but rather, IDENTIFIED AS AN "ALIEN SPACECRAFT!" Dig?

    4th...you CAN call an "alien spacecraft an IFO, but to call it a UFO AFTER you've labeled it as an Alien Spacecraft is an "Oxy-Moron!" Clear?

    Here's an odd fact, and Ken, please look it up for me to see if it is still there.

    In California, it is illegal to kill a bigfoot. There is a fine and jail time.
    The funny part is that Cali doesn't acknowledge that the big hairy fellow is real.

    Uh...Chiye, in't there a fine and jail time for everything in California?
    When I was doing movie work, I corrupted this group from LA that thought it was illegal to own and shoot guns

    They couldn't believe I owned any.
    Bigfoot sure isn't safe from them anymore!

    I believe in Bigfoot!

    My cousins and I encountered one firsthand in my uncles' woods while camping one night. I think I was 10.

    After a long day of hunting, with BB guns, as the campfire diminished, we all settled into our tents for the night. About 3 in the morning my older cousin woke me. He heard a strange noise at the edge of the woods where they met the cornfield. He said "look out there", "what is that?". The bright moonlight clearly outlined an ominous silhouete, a large slumped over figure with a huge furry head walking along the edge. It was bellowing some extremely bizarre drawn out grunts in a rhythmic fashion. They were very low and deep. You could almost feel them in your chest. The figure slowly passed by us then disappeared under the horizon about 100 yards away.

    A few moments later there was a large crashing sound of tree branches and brush breaking. The moon clearly lit the cornfield, but the woods were pitch black. But, it was obvious the figure had now entered the woods. It moved parallel to us and the movement and grunts slowed, as if it had noticed the campfire and was confused or intrigued by the fire...or us?? It was checking us out!

    After a brief quiet spell the grunts quickened and became much more excited. The figure, now invisible in the dark woods, began moving toward us at an alarming rate. We immediately woke the rest of the group. We were all freaking out!

    By then the creature was easily within 100 yards of the camp and approaching fast. Everyone freaked as we heard the growls and busting tree branches. It sounded like trees were being uprooted and tossed aside. They all grabbed up their bb guns, and as fast as they could pump started unloading in the direction of the beast. I warned em this was just pissing it off. Every shot further aggravated the beast as the grunts/ growls became even more excited and it's speed toward us increased.

    I looked down and in the campfire were some torches we crafted earlier before bed. Some were still burning good, so I grabbed the biggest, most solid one up and suggested they do the same. "Maybe it's afraid of fire!" I screamed! "Grab the torches!" They ignored me!

    Obviously this thing is big, furry and animal like. Maybe it's afraid of fire, and if not maybe I can light it up or club it. My plan, which I didn't have much time to come up with, was to smash it in the face with the club/ torch and run. One of the other group would get attacked first as they were in front of me and agitating the beast with the guns. Since they ignored my suggestion I had little pity for them. Thoughts of self preservation had set in. Let it get it's hooks in one of them, smash it in the eyes and face with the torch, to blind it, run like hell and don't look back.

    Just as the creature began to appear in the light of the campfire and torchlight the growling stopped. Actually, it changed... from a growl... to a hysterical laugh. It was my drunk uncle, dressed in a thick, buckskin, fur hooded winter coat carrying an empty 5 gallon bucket with a bow rosin coated rope strung thru the middle of it. By then, everyone was so freaked out they just kept shootin him. I almost lit him up too.

    Eventually the shooting and frantic pumping action of bb guns subsided. All that was left were the pants, cries, yelling, and my uncles laughter. My one cousin peed his pants, the youngest was inside the now collapsed tent in a state of severe mental trauma, and everyone else was just *****in out my drunk uncle for scaring the sheet out of us all.

    Now I know why he didn't let us take the .22's. He's lucky we didn't sneak em in like we had planned cuz we'd a been eatin roast bigfoot for breakfast. Ya, I believe in Bigfoot! He had real big feet, 6'6" tall with a big furry head and a growl that could only be made by alcohol induced hillbilly ingenuity. Pulling on that rosined up rope made the most wicked sound I've ever heard.

    Nell asked me to see what I could do with the original photo. I blew it up and changed some parameters on it. It looks like bigfoot might be a bow hunter in a ghillie suit.
