Hi Shane,

Welcome to the BAUT forum. We look forward to you posting here with topics about astronomy and space exploration. I had to remove the link to your educational service, since we do not permit spam here, and are very strict about it. Normally spammers are banned for ever. I'm taking a chance that you meant well.

At my advanced age I no longer step, I roll.

Be gentle with him.
Nah, Candy was already taken through interrogation with the last account, no level of makeup or disguise can cover up what was done to her.

This one is legit.

Hmmm, not sure why I haven't posted to this thread before.

I'm Wollery (as you may have guessed from the fact that it's written on the top left of all of my posts), some of you may know me from the JREF. I'm a research astronomer, working on proper motions, nearby stars, halo stars, brown dwarfs, and just getting involved in halo dynamics. I'm currently working in Kunming in Southern China.

Err, that's about it really, just an official hello.

An official Ni hau ma to Wollery, better late than never.

Yeah, DS, check Saskwatch closely, remember that picture of Candy as a bigfoot over at IRU.

Howdy folks! I found this site when I was looking for some debunking info for a guy who insisted that the Moon landing was faked and started getting more and more into it. I'm an actor by trade (MFA in Theatre arts) but have always loved astronomy. (even though it was a required class for me and the Physics students weren't required to take Theatre.)

Someone impersonating Bigfoot? That's against the law here.

I'm really curious with all this talk of Candy, but I get the feeling I shouldn't ask.

Yea, you shouldn't. If you really must know, PM me and I will explain.

Nah, that's okay. Sounds like ancient history that I don't want to be part of. Thanks anyway.

JayUtah, one of our top (if not the top) Moonhoax debunker is also into theatre and his avator is actually a photo from a performance (1776 IRRC).

I believe it's John Adams, as portrayed by noted character actor Jay Windley.

Hey SaskWatch, welcome to the forum.

You know, I'm pretty sure I have some out-of-focus pictures of you. I'll have to dig them up and post them. That'll start a debate to determine if you really exist.

I can confirm that Saskwatch does indeed live in Saskatoon. Thank you all for your vigilence.

Oh, and a big welcome. :-)

The fact is, Saskatoon is in Saskatchewan. Now say that three time in a row, real fast.

And while SaskWatch may be sweet, he's not Candy.
