So does the Bigfoot exist ?

[Essex_boy]

I think it does, has anyone here seen it ?

[henry0]

Yes it's G, I have seen its large, deep footprint on everything we do :)

I read the other day that the classic Bigfoot photo-- the one everyone has seen-- was taken by someone who, by astounding coincidence, had only just received a wad of money to make a movie about bigfoot. Not a documentary. A fiction move.

He must not like Eureka. I've never seen him. He's never shown his face next door in Arcata either, although bears and mountain lions are regular visitors in back yards. (This is really true.)

Years ago I was given a t-shirt that read: Willow Creek, Home of Bigfoot. I've never been there so I just don't know, but I do think they exist somewhere. Maybe in a different dimension.

Big Foot DOES exist. At least, it does according to the last bug I squashed. It's all a matter of perspective.

[londrum]

why do they call him Big Foot, and not Big Feet. presumably both of his feet are the same size

No-one I know calls it by that name. I know it as a Sasquatch.

Although I haven't seen one myself, a friend of mine from the Swan Lake Reserve once did, many years ago.

Its just that Ive recently read several books on the bigfoot, all very interesting. The last time a big animal was found in the USA and unknown to all was in 1947. A breed of horse found in Alaska soooo its possible a large monkey type animal exists....

For the same reason we say octopus rather than octopodes?

Is he solitary and immortal, like the Loch Ness monster?

[londrum]

They could have called him Big-ears, or Big-arms as well. Or big nose, rather than big foot. I think i would have gone with big ears

The Foot/Feet debate goes back even further- you'll remember it was brought up at Bilbo's farewell birthday party.

I think Noddy would have something to say if you did.

Down here in South Florida we call him Skunk Ape because of his offensive odor.

I've never had a confirmed siting, but decades ago, when I spent more time out in the Everglades, a friend of mine and I both thought we saw a tall dark shape that smelled like a skunk cross the road not far from where we were parked. This was on the old Tamiami Trail from Miami to Naples, which at this location was a very remote two-lane road with no lights.

Big Foot caught a lift from ET after he called home. He's out there, somewhere, looking for his father, Chewbacca.

[graeme_p]

@Essex_boy, what was that? I cannot find anything about it.

This just in...

The animal rights advocacy group PETA doesn’t believe bigfoot exists, but it has a message for the man who last month claims he hunted, shot and killed the legendary creature.

“The bottom line is, when someone sees a rare, exotic animal their first instinct shouldn’t be to shoot and kill it,” PETA spokesperson Lindsay Rajt told the Houston Chronicle. “Just because you see something pretty, that doesn’t mean it should be mounted on your wall.”

Yeah, that's pretty retro. Up until the mid-20th century, the ordinary reaction to hearing something was the last of its species-- or, better yet, the last breeding pair-- was to shoot it quick before anyone else did. Didn't realize anyone still thought that way. And what's the point if you're not planning to stuff and mount it?

[londrum]

it's like the last chocolate in the box isn't it, you eat it quick before anyone else gets it. big foot is the last chocolate in the box
