Default And in the other corner.... bigfoot?

You know Bigfoot just hasn't gotten the annoying publicity that other woo-woos have and that's just not right.

It's good to see that he's finially getting some back.. in India? Well that would "explain" the stock footage from Washington LOL.

And back in the USofA: Smile, Bigfoot: Your photo is wanted

You get a whole 4 weeks to come up with an "Unknown animal" picture.

I doubt they get what they're looking for not because they don't exist, but if you have a picture of Bigfoot or Nessie you can turn it into much more than $5k.

There is a little redneck town not far from where I live. There is nothing in the area, except mosquito infested swamps. So, if you were a tourist passing through on the main highway, there would be no reason to stop there.
Except for a small bigfoot museum. Nothing else to bring in tourists, so it makes you wonder? Any reason to go to Kerala, unless to hunt BF?

CNN: 'Bigfoot' expedition planned in Michigan
One of the top headlines...even if it is titled as offbeat.

I don't see an issue in looking, and this story doesn't seem to make any claims (they do use "might" instead of the absolute "did").

But; there's something about the organizer being named Moneymaker that makes this hard to swallow.

Whenever bigfoot comes up, I am required by law to post a link to this.

Lol, as opposed for our Life/Health/Financial sales specialist, who's last name is Workmaster. Now that's a last name that gives you instant credit

Unless he spends a lot of time baiting you into more productive performance.

There's an ad in my local paper (it's been there for about a year) for bigfoot footage, shot just outside my home town. Three VHs tapes, $15, conclusive evidence. So they say.

I've often wondered if, around Lake Okanagan (in southern BC), Bigfoot and the Ogopogo ever duke it out over territory. Alternatively, if they ever get together to have a barbecue and play some cards.

I just saw another thread here about the best way to look for alien spacecraft.

I'm sure the people looking for the bigfoot make fun of you guys

Latest Bigfoot sighting...
Pa. Hunter's Images Stir Bigfoot Debate
Quote:
It's furry and walks on all fours. Beyond that, about the only thing certain about the critter photographed by a hunter's camera is that some people have gotten the notion it could be a Sasquatch, or bigfoot. Others say it's just a bear with a bad skin infection.
Anybody know if the picture's been released to the public?

Purportedly MadeBig.com, citing BFRO, probably Bigfoot Field Research Organization, which is claiming to be down for me right now.

MadeBig: Large source image
Caption on that image is PABucks.com, which has images. I saved images in case sources dry up. One at PABucks.com does look like four-legged animal and skinny bear would seem more likely than fanciful hairy humanoid primate with large feet.

It would be interesting to see more of what they say since I see how they use "appears" without "could be".

I don't know what to make of it. It's hard to even tell which way it could be facing. (The feet are a good clue though).

And; I'd also like to see the worth or purpose of such a bad picture to someone who was "hoping to photograph deer".

Time magazine: Pa. Hunter Stirs Bigfoot Debate

Quote:
However, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has a more conventional opinion. Agency spokesman Jerry Feaser said conservation officers routinely trap bears to be tagged and often see animals that look like the photos.

"There is no question it is a bear with a severe case of mange," Feaser told The Bradford Era.
