Why the Continued Interest in Bigfoot on This Forum

Kitz, check this out

It deals with the Minaret skull (Ever heard of it?). You should read it because it is very interesting.

I suppose you're telling me I'm a "scoftic" and a troll. One word has no real meaning other than "meany who doesn't think like I do" and the other has no appropriate application to me by any definition you choose.

But serious question, what is the purpose of the American Bigfoot Society? It has one, right? I mean, it's not simply a Bigfoot enthusiast club, is it?

Serious question, Why do you care what the purpose of the American Bigfoot Society is? You want to join? Fill out the application on the web page.

OK...The purpose of the American Bigfoot Society is....

...Wait I know what you want. You want to type that quote again after I give you an answer. Curse you Kitakaze! I almost fell for your Jedi mind trick again!

Tom "Dog Switcher" Burnette is still keeping it real over on BFF. Moregon just reviewed his book and it has brought lively conversation.

Moregon also makes that between slip between "idea" and "ideal".
I am paraphrasing, but when replying to Tom Burnette he said, you need to keep your facts straight to support that ideal.

the "dog switcher"! LMAO!

I know that THERE CAN NEVER BE ANOTHER, but this Tom Burnette is the new Creekfreak.

What a hoot. Think Creekfreak with Historian flavor. He slips in paranormal mickies from time to time. This guy wrote a funky book and now everybody is waiting for the results of lab testing. He found a live baby animal in his backyard that he thinks is Bigfoot. It looks like a baboon. He lost it and later found part of its skull thanks to a dog. Oh, and he switches dogs in his book. Believe me - this guy is a dog switcher! So he sent the chunk of skull to a lab. They said it was "upper level primate". Oh jeez, that includes human. Anyway, he's now awaiting further testing.

From what little I know it is an upper level primate closley related to humans, I am not sure at this point if it is in the evolutionary scale there stopped at some point..Something that really has not evolved as science teaches us..When I know I will try to share..

We have to get him into JREF. I think his handle should be Dogswitcher, a name I have given him. Oh, and I'm officially starting a fan club for him.

We need officers please. Sign up here...

I want in on this hillbilly appreciation society. Burnette is like a Dale Gribble type turned up to 11. I volunteer for a Sargeant At Arms position or something else sufficiently officious in nature. In reference to the Bigfoot we see on the cover of his Bigfoot tome, I suggest all members utilize my Abe Vigodafoot badge as a means of identification...

I think there should be a Tom Burnette School of Kung Fu and Enunciation. You can learn the deadly Judy Chop and other maneuvers in the arsenal of Stinking Heehaw, Flailing Jackass as well as how to turn monosyllabic words into to two syllable words (ie, dayown, hayead, hayell, etc).

All people who would like to join the Dogswitcher Fan Club should take some time to put this in their pipe and smoke it:

I think it is a hot topic because of all the quack weirdo beliefs out there. The one that has a very remote chance of being true is bigfoot.

I mean, it is possible.... sortof.

Everything else is just outright nonsense.

The truth is that all kinds of pseudoscientific beliefs do not have power over another in terms of credibility and merit.

Really? did you see the thread I started about people who believe the ISS is a hoax?

Bigfoot, I can see a possible evolutionary branch that we have so far not discovered. It is remotely 1 in a million possible. We discover new species all the time.

The ISS being a hoax however is in no way even remotely conceivably possible.

I must join the Dogswitcher Fan Club. First, I should listen to the Dogswitcher speak his native language. I lived in North Carolina for many years. I could translate most of his "southern" slang. you seem to have part of it down, such as hay-ed, for head. Let me have a listen. Be back soon.

 

[zerospeaks]

That wasn't spam because?.....

Oh I see, because it is about bigfoot, sorry nevermind.

 

[makaya325]

We discover new species all the time.

That is one of the biggest over-hyped myths in relation to Bigfoot.

We DO NOT discover new species ALL of the time. A group of individuals MAY discover new species of an already known organism once every few months, but not daily.

I think what you meant to say was that people discover new genus's all of the time, which is incorrect.

 

[zerospeaks]

No. I mean new species. http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/12/16/rat.mekong/index.html

Wouldn't bigfoot be in our genus? Or for that matter, we would be in his?

 

[makaya325]

No. I mean new species. http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/12/16/rat.mekong/index.html

Most of those species were not scoffed at by the scientific community. None of them break every law of nature like bigfoot does

Wouldn't bigfoot be in our genus? Or for that matter, we would be in his?

If we assume it is of the Homo Genus (Which excludes Gorillas, Chimps, Bonobos, and Orangutans, which means no Gigantopithecus), then yes, it would. The problem is that Sasquatch does not have any ancestor candidates of the Homo Genus

 

[zerospeaks]

What about the "wild man" theory?

That bigfoot is basically inbred humans who live on the outskirts of society because they are... well... kind of messed up.

This theory would explain why there is no large breeding population that we can find, and also why bigfoot is seen in every culture.

So family has sex with themselves out on a remote farm untill.....

 

[makaya325]

That bigfoot is basically inbred humans who live on the outskirts of society because they are... well... kind of messed up.

It would not require only a family of Humans, but a much larger group of them, ALL displaying the same features.

This theory would explain why there is no large breeding population that we can find, and also why bigfoot is seen in every culture.

No, it would not explain the lack of remains. Every living thing on this planet HAS been found. I am pretty sure Fish & Game would know of Deformed humans living in the wilderness. I know for a fact that Wildlife Groups/conservationists spend day in and day out, scanning a specific area for a specific species, and having a pretty high success rate.

 

[makaya325]

I view the Wildman theory as the most likely in the Almasti's case.

 

[zerospeaks]

ahhhh... then it is a cultural phenom

Like urban legend.

So the real question like your sig says, is why the continued stories and fascination.

 

[makaya325]

ahhhh... then it is a cultural phenom

Well, yes and no. I can not dismiss the possibility of genuine reports, Likely coming from the Himalayas and Siberia, being mimicked here in NA.

So the real question like your sig says, is why the continued stories and fascination

People need Monsters. They represent our Fears, dreams, and sometimes, our hopes. We have this need to believe in a specifically large, Law breaking, camera shy, blurry, carcass burying mammal

 

[zerospeaks]

As opposed to "genuine" reports in NA from forest rangers or police?

I don't get the difference of genuine?
