Bigfooters covered by Vanity Fair Magazine

[William Parcher]

Fun new article in Vanity Fair about the recent Texas Bigfoot Conference.

They were primarily male and middle-aged, an even mix of grizzled hunters and fantasy fan-boys. It was a sea of grey beards, plaid jackets, and Bigfoot-kitsch t-shirts.

If they don’t want to be ridiculed by the media, then they should try a little harder not to make it so easy.

The last word on Bigfoot hunting went to Dr. Fahrenbach. The question of whether to shoot Sasquatch was moot, he said, because such a plot would never succeed. “Bigfoot would just swat at the bullets as if a bee had stung him.”

The article is mostly trashed over on Cryptomundo.

To me, it’s an example of how someone can make anything look looney if they want, especially if their agenda is to do so in the first place. Granted, bigfoot research is nowhere near being in the mainstream, but it’s quite obvious that the writer had no intention of honoring his pledge to us to cover the event in an even-handed manner and with an open mind. I suppose while he was telling us that, he was thinking: “pffft - yeah right…”

Excellent article on the Bigfoot Conference. I haven't read any of the bigfooters response yet.

that the writer had no intention of honoring his pledge to us to cover the event in an even-handed manner and with an open mind.


I thought Colyer was described as the most serious and data collecting person there. Vanity Fair pledged to cover the event even-handedly and with and open mind? umm, do you think they have any idea what Vanity Fair is about?
"oh yeah, i see that big, glossy magazine in line at the grocery store. they must be legit."
"let's get them to pledge to tell our story our way."
wow.

Nice!

Henner Fahrenbach has to be one of Bigfootery's finest kooks. I like the following comment from Coleman there:

I am not going to engage in censorship and remove this posting.

Ah-ha.

Loren Coleman is not going to engage in censorship.

Somebody please tell me how he obtained his data on the Bigfoot Orgy

Still no DNA?

Diet rich in peacocks?

Tickle fights?

Swat bullets?

Where are these reports posted at?

 

[Stout]

I can't recall ever picking up a copy of vanity Fair....but I quite enjoyed that article.

Is this typical of the magazine ?

 

[William Parcher]

Stout, VF contains some of the best writing you will find in a magazine.

Longtabber, those citations probably come from various eyewitnesses. The whole of Bigfootery is based on believing what people say. Even if you strip away all the bizarre attributes given by various people - you are still left with a wild hominoid based on other peoples' anecdotal testimony.

You gotta understand- I own an aviary and I didnt realize peacocks were high on the diet list and according to the "expert"- BF can run down my Emus too.

I called Mrs. LT and told her to break out the M2 and mount it on her Hummer and go to yellow alert ( just in case) ( see how fast BF can swat those bullets)

I know ltc wants to see BF throw a pig but I really want to read the witness report on the BF orgy. ( and the tickle fight)

I know ltc wants to see BF throw a pig...

He may have to settle for this...

Sasquatch has been observed walking with two 200-pound pigs under his arm through the countryside,” Fahrenbach declared. “On another occasion, he’s been witnessed grabbing three goats with one arm and walking over a five-foot fence without breaking stride.”

 

[Drewbot]

No bigfoot tossing of hogs, but he did have two 200lb hogs, one under each arm.

 

[William Parcher]

under his arm

one under each arm

Taking liberties with what the Doctor said?

 

[drapier]

Isn't Fahrenbach one of LAL's favorite authorities? I'd like to hear her opinion on some of these wacky claims of his.

I wasnt there and didnt hear the exact discussions or words used ( and especially after the Duke case, I dont take "media accounts" as gospel)

But if a PhD ( and leading expert in the field) actually did what was described in the manner described ( and if you take Coleman's commentary as accurate- the article is reasonably correct)- I just dont know what to say.

It makes me professionally cringe imagining a PhD ( respected in his field) making such claims publically as facts with no evidenciary support or reasonable validation whatsoever.

Before they say anything else about the Ga boyz- their own house needs sweeping

I just read out loud the line about bigfoot covering 90 feet in three strides. My whole office erupted in laughter. How can that man say something like that and not snicker to himself?

How do these people know so much about this and not even have a body. You don't hear people talking about the top speed of a Unicorn or a Leprechaun. I can make stuff up too! "The scream of a Banshee is between 110 and 113 decibels."

Well if Paul Bunyan could do it, why not Bigfoot? After all, Paul & Babe were well known to Minnesota lumberjacks, and far from mythical. It is said that many of the 1000 lakes were created by P.B.'s footprints.

Bigfoot ... has been observed digging though garbage cans, looking for used tampons.

My life is incomplete without an episode of MonsterQuest where they hang used tampons in front of a trail cam ... and wait.

Thats the episode where they caught the gangbang on film

 

[LONGTABBER PE]

I think we all need to email CF an apology. I guess there really was a bnugle in the jnugle and apparently Fahrenbach ( a real PhD but doesnt play one on TV) verified it

 

[LONGTABBER PE]

Lets see,

Drew and Correo can now add

peacock eating, gang banging, tickle fighting, 30 ft stepping, bullet swatting and impeccable sense of orgy etiquette

 

[William Parcher]

Triple-goat carry under one arm stepping over 60" fence.

Double-pig (200 lbs each) carry under one arm.
