Breaking: interview with Bob Gimlin reveals vocalization by "Patty" at Bluff Creek, October 20, 1967:
Gimlin has appeared as a paid speaker at various Bigfoot conferences/festivals over the years and continues to do so. He could be sued by any of them or by any of the attendees if he revealed that he was standing up there lying.

Has a Bigfoot conference ever sued a speaker for standing up there lying? I imagine they'd have a hard time finding many speakers if that were the case. Or is that another case of 'footer logic... we know the speakers are telling the truth because we'd sue them silly if they weren't. Since we haven't sued them, Bigfoot must be real.
seams odd that there is this much Bigfoot activity going on right now. Ketchum, Rick Dyer with the Bigfoot body in Las Vegas, Skyes doing DNA research. And now KK trying to get Munns to see a costume. Are the stars aligning? or are the Gods pissed off at Bigfoot?

Ketchum's missing in action, Rick Dyer with a body, again(?), Sykes has found bear, raccoon, and one other normal animal, and KK has left the building and Bill is working on getting to Bluff Creek to take more pictures. That's activity?

It says Race joined in 2007. It's unlikely that he/she is a sock puppet, but then again with all the crazy stuff that happens in Bigfootery you never know

Well I knew I needed to make some kind of joke because here is the recipe...

First post in 2010.
Of the six total posts, half of them are about Bigfoot.
There are specific details and jargon (using KK for kitakaze) suggesting an immersion in the topic.

I think we could have run that out like an Abbott and Costello routine...

I'm not a 'footer. I was suggesting another reason that Gimlin still won't confess to the hoax. Could be on the advice of an attorney.

I'm no attorney, but I know a 'contract' that forces one into committing an unlawful act, fraud, malfeasance etc. is not valid in any legally binding kind of way. Which makes it hard to believe there's an enforceable agreement (NDA or otherwise) somewhere that's pre-empting Gimlin from disclosing anything he wants. I think he's been 'on his own' since the beginning.
The reality is Bob "I'd Have Shot Her If She Made a Move Towards Roger" Gimlin has no desire to come clean but for his own reasons. In the last 45 years he's not been simply denying the PGF is a hoax, he's been actively promoting it as the exact opposite! He's still a regular on the Bigfoot speaker circuit. And it's not a denial circuit. He tells and re-tells his same ole tired story of his and Roger's filmed encounter, and he gets applause and admiration from total strangers who can only marvel at how straight and honest he is. I mean, it's been 45 years, even if it wasn't true initially, it must be true by now, right?

It's only a lie for the first decade or so after that it's traditional wisdom.

It's obviously accepted all over the world, assuming anyone actually knows who Bob Gimlin is, that he's lying and has been for decades.
Travis Walton is still spinning his alien stories, that seem to change each time he tells a different network or tv show who's bored enough to run an episode on him.
The only thing that suprises me is the fact that Gimlin hasn't been on the likes of Paranormal Witness etc to tell his ridiculous tale...
I've no idea what he did or didn't sign, or if what he's doing is truly illegal, all I know is that the only people who buy his garbage are the kinda people who wear foil hats and rubber gloves in the bath.
I guess my real point is, besides believers... does anyone actually give a left-bollock about what Gimlin says or doesn't say? He's big news in the small world of the 'Squatch, but in the real world, he's just one living half of the dynamic duo that can be seen in the pages of many Readers Digest Paranormal editions pretending to film a Bigfoot, which is quite obviously just a fella in an overgrown Ewok suit with a fat arse.

In my opinion, that's a big part of why he's been able to "get away" with it for this long - because you're right, no one cares, and if they do happen to be tethered to the real world and know of him -- he's obviously a cheap liar.
It's kind of the same indifferent attitude we see in politics from the respective cheerleaders. It goes back and forth till it just becomes a he said she said argument, we all rinse our hands, "its a wash", oh well, moving on. No biggie, par for the course.
The problem is, no "truth" is uncovered, and all of us with too much time on our hands are sitting here holding the bag of ****.
Goes without saying at this point, Bob Gimlin will not be confessing to this hoax. It also goes without saying that many hoaxers went to their grave with the lie, in some cases, even where their fraud was exposed within their lifetime - they still maintain it. It seems to me that he has far too much invested now to spill the beans. But why? What is Bob Gimlin honestly gaining by perpetrating this hoax? Besides a free ride and coffee to the Bigfoot speeches.
An interviewer informed of the facts surrounding this film could so easily dismantle and expose Gimlin, it hardly seems worth letting the world know you exist at all, if you are Bob Gimlin.
Can this hoax ever be categorically be put to rest? Yes, we know the film is hoaxed, and anyone that has an interest in the topic can find out some of the facts surrounding the film which most definitely point to the film being hoaxed - even if you pretend it exists in a vacuum and ignore all the implications of actually filming a bigfoot in modern North America.. but it persists still.
Gilbert can pass it off, and rightly so, as no big deal, who cares, just Bigfoot believers believing in Bigfoot, but to me this is a potentially hazardous indifference, because there are and will be television shows produced in the past, present and future which will have deep-thinkers such as Dr. Meldrum who will tell all watching in careful and confident language all sorts of things about this film and by extension bigfoot. Maybe it doesn't matter, I don't know. To me it's a pretty big deal, I don't like being lied to and deceived.

Has anyone heard a reason for why the film was supposedly rushed to DeAtley and he supposedly rushed to get it developed?
In 1967 it would have cost him at least $2,000 to get the film developed on a weekend so why would he be willing to pay that kind of money? They could have just waited.
I know the standard line of 'they wanted to see what was on the film' but that makes no sense, so has anyone seen a more reasonable answer?
