(from the link within that link) Seems the BFRO is still doing that Bigfoot round-up thing taking lonely ugly people out into the dark forest late at night and (essentially) 'giving' all of them a Bigfoot 'experience' they'll never forget. Yet they still don't have even one good picture of the hairy ****** from any of those 'experiences'? Hmmm, I wonder if it's because there's always that one guy that wasn't around when all the 'Bigfoot happenins' went down who mysteriously shows up afterwards giggling "Hi guys what did I miss?" And yet - not making this up - there's a special section of the BFRO website dedicated to criminally outlawing hoaxes. If there's not something seriously wrong with that type of dichotomous unrighteousness, then I picked the wrong week to quit sniffin' glue.

I'm not the one who started with the road kill scenario. If a person is willing to throw out "off the wall" arguments, they must be willing to look at the logical side of that off the wall argument.

It amazes me how the average "educated" person loses all common sense and logic when talking about a subject that is passionate to him or her. All fact, reason, and logic go out the window for emotion.

In an earlier post, someone stated that if Bigfoot were real, there would be roadkill. My only point is this, take the name Bigfoot out of the equation and plug in any know species, including humans.

If I am wanting to convince anyone that my logic is rational, I had better be able to use common sense facts to support my argument.

The average rational thinking, educated person views the world through a common sense approach. However; when matters such as Bigfoot, etc. are talked about, the ability to even attempt to view facts with common sense usually goes out the window. (For both sides of the argument.)

Well I've seen rabbits, coon, deer, dogs, turtles, snakes, cats, possums, cows, and birds dead along the road but no bigfoot.

Where are the track castings of this 800 to 1,000 pound jet engine screaming, house shaking, biped?

How many 911 calls resulted from this incredibly loud noise, that was still incredibly loud from 300 yards away? It must have been audible for many miles if it was house shaking loud from 3 football fields away.

How does one know that a very loud and new noise in the woods is coming from 300 yards away?

What sort of animal crashes through the woods, while it walks, making a lot of noise?
Now, I gotta admit, this would get my attention:

Ally Oop?


He rides through the jungle tearin' limbs offa trees
[Scream]
Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop
And knocking great big monsters dead on their knees
Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop
Other cats don't bug him 'cos they know better
Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop
'Cos he's a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter
Alley Oop Oop, Oop Oop Oop

2008 report from western Washington:

"....on July 1 at 10:30 p.m., a man was driving on Indianola Road NE toward the Miller Bay Road when he says his headlights showed two large, hirsute, upright creatures running ahead of him at about 30 miles an hour. They were nine to 10 feet tall, he said, with pointed heads, no necks, and bulky, thick shoulders covered with black hair. The motorist, who guessed them to weigh 500 to 800 pounds, watched them for six to eight seconds before they ran into the forest.

...investigated by a Jim Von Lossow of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, who gave ... a Class A rating, meaning ....ranked among the most reliable of all reports of Bigfoot sightings."

I can't argue with the latter assessment.

Without hooves I imagine they would be less noisy than two horses galloping down the road.

I imagine feet slapping hard ground pretty loudly. Look at how sasquatch walks with that big flexible foot.

Note that bony point on the bottom of the foot as well.

Looks like trouble at 30mph to me.

Reminds me of the "snipe hunts" we used to take the noobs on when I was in the Boy Scouts.

Yep. That's exactly what they're doing too, although they're getting away with charging people actual money for it. Apparently Matt Moneymaker was a really big fan of PT Barnum and his final book 'There's a Sucker Born Every Minute Who Wants to Pay To See Bigfoot And Other Struggles & Triumphs From The Lonely Dirt Road Where Your Paying Customers Stay In Leaky Tents While You Enjoy Nice Clean Hotels On Paved Roads And The Art of Money-Making And Alias Name Fabrication'.

Can you imagine the pounding? The noise? 800 pound bipeds running at 30mph would be something to see and hear.

They say it doesn't pound; it rolls. :D

The primate foot seems to roll off the heel towards the great toe.

Now, for the mid-tarsal break. The motion of walking involves the "rolling" of the foot from the heel, to full contact with the ground, and then onto the ball and toes.

That thing that walked up on my brother and I in the night had footfalls like a truck tire rolling and that was on a hard dirt logging road directly above the PGF site. I don't think it was putting extra weight on the balls. It sounded pretty even on that surface like it was rolling.

well, it's ridiculous. If you don't have a rigid arch or other rigid structure, then it requires muscular support/contraction from your intrinsic foot muscles or you lose your propulsion. Every step. Think about that. Your tiny foot muscles would have to drive you forward. This is why flat footed people get sore feet. 800 lbs of running biped??? Meldrum is completely wrong. I don't care if he can identify the origin and insertion of every muscle in the foot. He's just wrong. Those big flippers would be great for a seal, but not for a terrestrial biped, and especially not in mountainous terrain and densely grown undergrowth. He's just wrong. It's absurd. You out there Jeff? You're wrong.
