Bigfoot Follies: part trois

Gilbert Syndrome said:
That's the thing, there's never going to be any checkmate either way, and Bigfooters know this as much as the sceptics do.

I wonder how a checkmate was achieved with animals that aren't walking the earth such as the Mastodon and the Sabre-tooth cats and the Tyrannosaurs, and all the other fantastic creatures which are said to be extinct. Bigfooters would generally agree that they don't exist in living form even though they've never really looked for them. Nobody is crowd-funding a search for living Archaeopteryx.

When do we see grants given to check the oceans for living Ammonites? The Bigfooters say that you can't find something unless you are specifically looking for it.
 
Hilarious. That's why I come here.

Kind of reminds me of people who tatoo their 2-month long girlfriend's name on their forehead. The crack-head who tatoos their daughter's name on their boob. To show how committed they are.

I have a plaster cast of my "drag". I leave a drag mark behind me when I unfurl Mr. Happy. Otherwise, it's my belt.

Drewbot nobody to my knowledge has ever asked a sample of anyone who would matter - park service personnel, wildlife refuge managers, State Fish and Game people in charge of counting animals, etc. if bigfoot exists.

"Scientists" aren't really the pool to sample from, but I think you are speaking loosely.

On further thought, I agree. In fact, I had no idea it was this reasonable.

It isn't.

Does mileage count in the cost?

Each blimp comes with 250 miles per day. Additional miles are .35/mile

I wonder if you get discounts for going downwind?

Yes, you fly it yourself. The one person blimps do not require a license, and we can teach you how to fly in about 15 minutes. Larger blimps require a little more preparation, but we will have systems in place to get you through the process.

^^That one is a big clue. Become a meteorologist in 15 minutes!

Any specific limitations?
The FAA has informed us that Blimp flights can only safely be flown by amateurs in early April.

But I went ahead and asked a friend in Portland to call her local office for me anyway......... :rolleyes:

IMO, Bigfootery dictates that the game will always be afoot until one is brought in dead or alive, which will obviously never happen. And so it goes, and so it is written. :boggled:

It may be just to help them remember it...

If you tattoo a name on your forehead do you do in in reverse writing so you can read it in a mirror? Like an ambulance hood?

But when a resident of the Pine Orchard community pointed out claw marks on a tree in his yard, McDonald determined they couldn't have been made by humans, and it's unlikely they were made by any other animals.

"Some of those claw marks start at about 8 feet off the ground and go to almost 12 feet," McDonald said. "Yes, there are bears in the area but a bear, if it would have made those marks, there would have bear claw marks on the sides of the tree where it climbed it, there were none."

That's an odd assertion, especially given the bizarre and untrue comments that follow.

I spent six thousand dollars on tires for my Supercub. This is not the little boy's kite club here.

The current federal deduction for cars is over fifty cents a mile. Airtime around here, for short commuter flights to the villages is order of magnitude more expensive. Costs more than flying to the lower '48 in many cases. Hundreds of miles costing more than thousands of miles.

But 35 cents a mile shows how reasonable it is.

No, it isn't a big clue. You can fly an ultralight the day you buy it with no certification and you can fly a one person blimp on the same day too.

A passenger-sized blimp is an airship, as per FAA regulations. It has about the same license requirement as fixed wing pilots. You are just way out in left field here trying to make this sound crazy.

I flew 13 years without a license, every bit of it extreme off-airport conditions. Flew hang gliders for years. No license. Did bushplanes and multi-engine too, no license. I hated every minute of it when I finally got one. I had to fly into town from a cabin I was building in the wilderness in order to pay an airport jock to check off that I could taxi on the runway and etc. I had over a thousand hours by then.

You can't even train for what I was doing with an on-board pilot really. The airport jocks certified for pedestrian flying don't know their ass from a hole in the ground off-airport. I did multi-engine to keep my options open for smuggling across the southern border. Been across the northern border many a time, no customs. You just find someone to train you for that. Get licensed for it, lol.

You do it yourself. I read a lot on the old school bush pilots. Then talked to some well-known ones, one dead now, a crash, and another with lots of steel in is body from near fatal crack-ups. And I've had mine.

You can make what we do out to be insane. Or you can look at it like any other extreme activity where there's no licenses. Skiing and biking down cliffs or at a hundred miles an hour. Off road bike and 4wd extreme climbs.

I have a pretty damned good idea what it takes to fly things, engine or no, and there's a good reason you don't need licenses to fly hang gliders, ultralights, and one-person blimps. Anyone can do it. But don't jump into my supercub and think you can skip off the water coming into a too-short gravel bar, standing on the brakes just enough not to nose over. Or take off on the water the other side of it. Land in a boulder field, trees lying down. brush whacking your struts, ripping your tail wheel off. Take on rotors. Even with a license you are not going to survive that.

But you can fly their one person blimp the day you show up, I assure you.

That is a remarkably reasonable rate of engaging an airship with great capabilities in terms of big game animal observation/enumeration. It is not crazy to have a person piloting a one-passenger model without a license. It's what the law provides.

Is it legal to rent one and put some advertising on it like... "Good and Plenty"? Those bigfoots would flock to me if I flew close to the ground.
 
Hairless Bigfoot looks like a lizard.

Ken Gerhard said:
Can uncommon accounts of so-called ‘Lizard Men’ be explained by hairless Sasquatches? ...all primates (including humans) can occasionally develop extreme alopecia (hair loss) all over their bodies, drastically altering their appearance. Now imagine a 7-foot, powerful hominid with perhaps more humanlike than apelike features (bipedal, smaller ears, etc.) losing all or most of its body hair due to disease or perhaps a genetic condition...

Speaking of the third monkey, what is with bigfooters and black leather? The goth Kenny Chesney hat they wear is the worst. Right up there with fingerless black Dog the Bounty Hunter gloves.

Ghosthunters seem to want to look like characters from the Matrix also.

I dont get it.

It's easy to figure out..........they're losers.
 
:biggrin: La hoo za her. I'll admit my own fascination with these "losers" is not necessarily with the fact that somebody could deliberately deny their own reality in order to play a "funner" game of imagination, but that they (have the balls to) think they should be able to rewrite our cosmic reality with the results of that game.

Yet they become indignant when their imaginary figments are pointed out.

Go spend all of your adult life acquiring imaginary ape-like friends and then see how tight you hold onto them when their existence comes into question. Of course you won't have pictures to prove it, but you'll "know" they're there. :xtongue
