It was obvious that it would be a hoax but we all still wanted to see what they had produced. That kind of hoax could never be repeated with the same kind of worldwide attention.

Forgive me for not knowing those details. They did better than I thought then.
 
They are willing dupes. Many of them are anyway. Many pro-wrestling fans know it to be fake, they know the tricks, they know when the wrestler is talking to the other wrestler right before a move, they know that a wrestler is really hurt, when the other wrestler goes after someone in the crowd, (he is buying time for the hurt wrestler to catch his breath), they know that when a wrestler is hurt, the referee will get down low and pretend to be checking for a pin, but he is really asking the wrestler if he can continue, or if they should call for a stretcher.

Footers know that a Bigfoot report is made up, they know the tells, 'oooh it swayed back and forth!, ooh it's eyes glowed Red? it must have been a male then, it was too scary to shoot wasn't it!? I know right?!? ' It is the same thing, and both the wrestling fans, and the Footers will pay top dollar to continue being willing dupes. For both, it is a suspension of reality.
 
I agree with the bulk of the Footer-Wrestling comparisons. But one thing that Footery has that pro wrestling does not, as I see it, is the claim to insider knowledge that comes with being a Footer. Having one up on the ivory tower scientists and the rest of us mainstream sheeple that rely on said scientists to inform our reality for us. Not for Footers. No way! They are forging their own way in the world armed with the certainty that Figboot is real and that the gubmint is out to get them.

They are following the evidence that is consistent and cohesive; just ask them.

Some older evidence from the Bluff Creek area just showed up on Cryptomundo...

Looks like some of these are Wallace variants.

Things like this make me cringe. I've seen a number of footprints in the fossil record, and they look NOTHING like this. They're distorted and squished, in interesting ways that reveal locomotion and behavior. These photos are what you'd expect from a particularly bad cartoon.

Did you see the pics of Dyers latest body?

I'm no comedian like Andy was, but it would have been nice if they had given their bigfoot an enormous schlong or something. It could have had the skeptics rolling on the floor laughing while at the same time sending the 'footers off to open up an institute for bigfoot weiner studies.

You mean something like Patty's boobs?

Aniway, if Patty were Patrick, I wonder if Bill Munns would care to do a study on bouncing wangs...

My thinking on the boobs is two-fold. First, Roger could not simply have Bob Heironimus wear a stock ape suit, all of which were male and too easily outed. Although they don't have wieners and Roger could have made one easily enough, there is the issue of sexual dimorphism: male bigfeet are allegedly much larger than a stock ape suit worn by even a pretty big fellow.

If it is a female though, then it is okay to be 6.5 feet tall instead of eight or nine feet tall. So all you have to do is modify a stock suit by putting boobs on it and changing the face from spec gorilla to quasi-human.

If Roger had put one giant boob in the middle of the chest then that would be bringing Kaufman-type comedy to it for the non-believers. What seems clear to me from the record in The Making of Bigfoot is that Roger tried using a rented ape suit he brought up from Hollywood by bus, but that it proved unsatisfactory for just that reason: it looked like a stock Hollywood ape suit. So he was forced to buy a suit and modify it.

IMO Patty could have easily been a male without the breasts. The estimated height would not matter. Bigfoot believers would certainly accept what Patterson made as being a real male.
 
She was 6.5 to 7 feet tall and 350-400 pounds in Roger's initial call to the media.
In Argosy she is roughly the same dimensions.

I'm not sure when she became "too tall" and "too heavy" for a man in a suit...

Bob Heironimus was 6'2" without the suit... ;)

Well I heartily agree that the bar they set for hoaxes to clear is somewhere down at the ankles.

One of the important things to remember is that the Executive Producer was Roger Patterson's brother in law Al DeAtley, who was funding Roger's hoax and making the decisions.

Roger had a number of quite idiotic stunts like the tree house that collapsed, his capture van and so forth, whereas DeAtley was a successful businessman and had a lot better sense. Roger's early attempts at doing hoaxes where he was putting up flyers for his bigfoot talks and attempt to sell books were lame. But with Al DeAtley in charge it was transformed into a million dollar road show with the film.

Whose idea it was originally may be in question, but Roger needed Al's approval for whatever he was doing because Al bought the suit and paid for all the ancillary expenses of filming/producing the hoax. So in the end it was Al DeAtley's call and if it had not come off well he would not have undertaken the whole road show enterprise. In so doing they got not just the true believers but normal everyday folk packing those auditoriums.
 
If one viewed a large horse or an elk from the front with a thermal cam wouldn't it look like an 8' tall 'unknown' creature?

I have a picture of the ass end of a moose on my phone that looks like the tawny, grizzled chest of a wood ape (especially if you suggested that to a gullible audience) right up until you zoom in.

These thermals that are becoming popular among bigfoot enthusiasts are nothing more than nocturnal blobsquatches and the immediate reaction to them should always be "who are you trying to crap?" As we can see, you don't even need a very good monkey suit, or a monkey suit at all.
