Mr. Ed and Miss Daisy...there's a ballad brewing in there some where, maybe river can write us a song?
 
Haha if I do, do I get brownie points? :D

I could easily post some music for someone to do vocals over.

Yes, let's catalog the various events that Bigfooters tell us will finally have us miserable skeptics eating crow, as Bigfoot is revealed to the world.
(In no special order.)

Nothing like this perfect storm of Bigfoot fever and promised Bigfoot verification has occurred before. It will be the Year of Bigfoot! Or the Year of Widely Discredited Bigfootery.

Can't wait to see how it all shakes out. Just wish the mainstream was more aware, so the Bigfooter's can't sweep it all under the rug if it all goes bad.

This has been going on for so many years now that it just doesn't really matter what the outcome is JerryWayne. The Crow will still be waiting in the pantry and it will shake out like it always has with Bigfootery plodding on like a 9 ft tall 600+ lb Uncatalogued Wood Ape. ;)

To those of you that commune with the bigfoot enthusiasts:

It would be interesting to know if any of these folks become disillusioned when "Daisy" disappears into the ether and the Ketchup DNA "paper" becomes a full-blown debacle.

Will the ducks still remain bouyant? If so, what excuses will be made for the latest failures? Will the best evidence remain fuzzy photos, revered anecdotes, folksy-hoaxy trackways, and flirty Patty with her get-back stare?
 
I suspect, Resume, that the interested fence-sitters have already discounted anything from Ketchum, and they'll also expect that known hoaxers will continue to hoax rather than suddenly solve the mystery. This leaves them waiting only for the results from Sykes before declaring the mystery over.

I further suspect that the die-hards will see this as just another set-back in a long series of set-backs, and will dust down the old cliche of "it doesn't matter how many times you are knocked down, so long as you get up one more time". I guess some might await the release of the purported Erickson video, but, frankly, having just seen the Life of Pi, I don't think many people will actually pin their hopes on this alone given the current quality of CGI.

Before I'm called a troll again, please remember that the majority of people interested in this subject are just that.....interested. Not committed. Not mind-made-up. Just interested. Mocking the merely interested isn't a fair sport.

As interesting as you may find Sykes, it is important to realize that other academics have jumped on many a woo gravy train over the years. The author of Sasquatch Rising 2012 has Sykes ready to board the footie trolley. I don't know about that, but can't dismiss the idea given Meldrum, Ketchum, et al. I simply can't suspend my disbelief while waiting for Sykes and I don't think that's necessary.

Like yourself, I'm interested in the bigfoot phemomena; it's just that since first viewing the PGF back in the day, as a budding outdoorsperson, I said "Cool story bro'," awaiting further data that never really showed. I can't imagine it hanging fire this long. Of course when offered credible evidence, like a specimen, I would say "Hey look, Bigfoot!"
 
If I may, you are mixing me up with my answer. You asked about "bigfoot enthusiasts". I was talking about them, not me.

And yes, I do find Sykes interesting. He wrote a good book on human genetics.

I thought you once claimed to be fence-sitting while waiting for Sykes. My apologies.

There was this guy who was convinced about alchemy; I forget his name but he wrote a bunch of stuff about . . . something called gravity.

Again, I don't know anything about what Sykes may be up to in the instance; it is my fervent hope that he isn't waiting at the whistle stop for the footie cash express.

I'm not sure what point you are making here. When Newton pursued alchemy it was really just mis-directed chemistry. No-one had yet stated, let alone proved, that metals were immutable (they're not, as it happens). I can't see how this relates to a world renowned geneticist doing some genetics. I'm not being facetious........I genuinely don't see what you are saying.

I'm saying a person is a person and can get caught up in illogic for whatever reason, no matter his or her credentials. Francis Collins for example.
 
Well of course that is true. It is also true that Sykes could find evidence of an unknown animal, or could come up with ordinary explanations for the extra-ordinary claims which we assume Ketchum will make.

I'm presuming the latter.

If the past has taught us anything about footin, it is, those that get involved do it for the sole purpose of becoming a footer.

These MIB conspiracies are so funny. If the gov't was actually any good at controlling information then politicians wouldn't be spending time and effort on damage control regarding issues of economic policy, national security, etc. That kind of stuff really matters and we can't control it. Bigfoot matters little but those MIBs swoop in to snuff out any information about before someone invests the 10 seconds it would take to post a photo of a such a thing to Instagram? Riiiiiiiight.

not to mention YouTube,

including those printed/developed at WalMart, Walgreen's and Wolfe's Camera. Since 9/11, they also have computer chips inside every computer, camera and printer sold around the world, that send images to this guy. He has a response time of 5.6 seconds per image except when he goes to lunch, pee, smoke a cig, or drop a loaf. Or of course during change of shift, when he regales the next guy with all the "titillating" stuff he saw. Some of the more exciting images have surfaced on porn sites. After 45 years of operation, they have sequestered a total of 18 images suspicious for a bigfooot. Unfortunately, all of these were leaked to someone named Melissa in return for certain considerations. They at present have a backlog of 41.5 years. Budget cuts make improvements in the system unlikely.

Sharpen your quills. Robert Lindsay is saying that the Ketchum report will be published in a US peer reviewed journal today or tomorrow.

After visiting his site, I need a shower.

I suspect (yet can't prove) that Sykes decided "well, while I'm doing this study, let's put this whole Bigfoot thing to rest" so he had all of these people send in samples. He suspects it will all be known animal, but as he is a scientist, he went into the study fully acknowledging the "possibility" of it existing as more than 0%.

I don't think he expects for there to be any squatch DNA. and he probably hopes that when his results show all known animal/human that the footers will admit that truth.

Problem is, he is probably unfamiliar with the carnival of crazy desperation that is the world of footin'.
