Yeah one might think that the elk tracks in the impression might have harshed their buzz too.... guess not. :boggled:

What is the anatony of a Sasquatch foot and how does it function? By Dr. Richard Eisner. Salem, Massachusetts, June 2009.

Eisner did the blogtalk radio show "Bigfoot Quest" in August of last year. Here's the show:

It's actually very difficult to listen to as it's pretty bad radio, particularly in the beginning. It's also right before the revelation of the Georgia hoax so there is a lot of hope and excitement coming from many of the people talking.

There's also mention of a John Cartwright foot fetish. :pythonfoot:

Foot fetish...good one!

Dr. Eisner has actually debated with Dr. Meldrum on the phone regarding the mid-tarsal break theory. He might have mentioned it during that show, I cannot remember. Dr. Eisner is a regular in the chat room for Bigfoot quest his blog talk name is FootDoc.

If it matters, I do not subscribe to the mid-tarsal break theory.

I'd bet all my Bert's Bigfoot Suit Rental™ late charges and my 420 Bazooka Joe™ comics that Dr. Meldrum just wishes Bigfoot and anything and everything to do with 'it' would just go the **** away. I doubt we even want to know the hours he's spent agonizing over the stupid-stupid-stupid idea of him going public with his (for all intents and purposes) 'belief' in Bigfoot.

I'd not be surprised to find out he's already switched sides. If he hasn't, or won't, something that could happen is: Probably not in the near future, but a little later in his career, possibly when he knows he closer to death, and of course there's still no Bigfoot, he's going to 'certify' in some kind of scientific manner, something, maybe a print, a hair, a bone, definitely something not easily repulsed by laymen, as genuinely Bigfoot. It's an almost no lose proposition. At the worst it helps him. At best it exalts him. And he gets the last laugh. The ******!

I can see that being the case. I know I feel that way sometimes.

Why do you say that? According to media articles and tv programs, he seems like a fanatic, hellbent on proving it exists and ignoring scientific skepticism

From what I've seen, the standard tactic for proponents who realize that Bigfoot doesn't exist and don't want to admit it (or switch to the paranormal explanation) is to say that they've given up on looking for evidence and now want to devote their efforts to protecting "those magnificent animals."

Not really AMM. The standard tactic is to conclude bigfoot is not an animal because it can not be found, and to say its an alien/shapeshifter/etc

My example specifically refers to people who don't want to go that route (and those who don't want to admit that Bigfoot doesn't exist).

Its called Denial AMM, lol. While some may know bf doesnt exist, they will refuse to admit it, and will instead jump to different theories: Kind of like iceberg hopping: We can only hope that they face the truth when they all melt.

:D That's funny. Actually, I feel bad for the guy - not that he can't take care of himself. He's just gone too far out on a limb (as a 'scientist') it seems.

Is the 'Mid-tarsal Break' theory is his alone? That one never made real sense to me. Especially in light of the fact there's been barely a print that exhibits anything even resembling such a feature. It's a viable theory for a heretofore unheard of primate trait, AND a common anatomical feature of a heretofore unknown and otherwise unseen primate? To paraphrase a classic - "First time formulating a theory...doctor?" Seems he missed class that day they taught theorizing.

As far as I know, yes.

I recall that he first came up with the theory upon discovering a trackway where some of the tracks showed only the front part of the foot being impressed in the ground. Boith myself and others have pointed out that this sounds like a trackway consisting of overlaid bear tracks and some non-overlaid front paw tracks.

Outside of that, the only other tracks that are said to have this feature are some tracks found by Paul Freeman (which appear to be overlaid bear tracks) and a single track associated with the Patterson-Gimlin filmsite (which has other explanations).
