Kudos Kit!!! This would the most significant advancement with the PGF in a long time, and maybe just in time. I'll be PMing you some questions for Bob(s).
As the Devil's advocate...
Cheers, Óðinn. I get all Jeff Goldblum just thinking about it. BTW, if I was a government, I'd want you for the opposition.
Because Bob H was always jealous that he was close to the PGF, yet didn't get in on it.
OK, so the idea is that Bob got jealous and claimed to be a part of the film that he was involved with. When he starts claiming to friends in Yakima in '68 that he was in the suit, he opens himself up to litigation by Patterson who is running around all over the place trying to make money with the film.
There is also the fact that BH has always been a fairly quiet fellow. If he really was looking to get attention and soothe his wounded ego, you think he would have rocked the boat a lot harder. He didn't do that. He kept it limited to a few people in his wee little town. He kept acting like a guy waiting for the $1000 dollars he was promised and then acted like a guy that wasn't overly go get 'em when he he didn't get that money. Makes sense to me.
No doubt they all knew each other well, which gave Bob H a sense of entitlement.
OK, let's roll with that. You're Bob H. This is your crew...
Shortstop and Tonto and Slim and Tex and Cooter and the rest, those are your boys. So Shortstop and Tonto take a break from the Bigfoot movie they're putting you in and take your great big horse Chico down to California for like a whole month and come back jumping up and down with an actual female Bigfoot on film (which looks just like the one drew in his book last year). You're all screwed up with jealousy and dagnabit, you miss Chico, and you go ahead and start telling people that you were the ladyfoot. Don't you expect Shortstop and Tonto and Slim and Tex and Cooter and the rest to come roll over you like a ton of bricks?
On what charges and how could you prove any of it?
Libel. You get your lawyer who gets an inkling of how much revenue the PGF has generated to worry about proving it. Certainly in 2004 Bob Gimlin should have been threatening his neighbour and friend with legal action if he didn't STFU.
Patterson passed one too.
Let's drag that one out. Bob's polygraphs are well documented. What about the Roger took? Where is the documentation?
They likely can't avoid each other. They know where each other stands. Neither is likely to budge, so why discuss it?
If the Bigfoot film thing was as much of a big deal as Gimlin makes it out to be and everybody knew Heironimus was in the suit, Gimlin could have left Yakima or at least S 90th Ave decades ago. He didn't. He remained friends with Heironimus and they still hang out. Outside wee little Yakima people are debating the film endlessly, but there in town Bob H is the guy in the suit who asked Gimlin to come foreward and Gimlin is the guy who won't because it's too far gone now. There are horses to break in, Chevy's to restore, and pints to have, so why discuss it?
He admitted it because it's Gimlin's word against his, and in his mind he should have been the guy in the suit anyways. But he may not even know who or what was actually in the suit.
Let's say Heironimus was lying. Not only was he risking Shortstop and Tonto and Slim and Tex and Cooter and the rest coming to roll over him like a ton of bricks, he risks having the real guy come foreward and making him look like an a lying ass. he certainly didn't think it was a real Bigfoot. But if they really did film Bigfoot, they had every possibility of then going and finding one after the film was made, which again makes BH look like a lying ass.
ETA: I smell book deal here for Kit. Ghost writers need not apply.
I smell Óðinn lighting a fire under my ass. LOL
