So what was going on there, exactly?

Were Roger and Grover talking about how fake tracks were made?

Were Roger and Grover talking about a film of Roger pouring a cast, that Grover had seen at some point?

Is this Roger explaining to Grover why a film of Roger casting tracks prior to filming the PGF is not suspicious?

Are we talking about the obvious clip, or a different clip?

Because citing that same Krantz quote we've seen a million times is not the issue. The context that Dahinden places it in and that fact that there are actually two completely different plaster pour scenes, one which is definitely Yakima May 1967 and the other we've always scene is Bluff Creek.

I'm a little swamped to make the proper presentation, but this is the Yakima plaster pour...

That's very frustrating, to say the least. I've been using Photobucket for years now and recently have been getting aggressive upgrade requests to my hotmail account. The images to the PGF thread I need to post come from my Photobucket.

I'll try and work around that. If I can't, I'll save all the frames to my Mac and Photobucket can eat a big fat sausage.

It was your generous offer, to cover Bill Munns' flight costs....which removed the biggest obstacle in the way of Bill's trip to Al DeAtley's home, with kit....to "see the Patty suit".

That cleared the way for the appearance of "imminent plans" for the trip to Big Al's Mansion....(in Sept./Oct. 2012)....and the coincidental timing of kit's relocation to Japan.

Than you very much...(and I sincerely mean it).....Cervelo!

Whew...your social construct that is your imaginary world, where Patty is anything but a dude in a suit, certainly has no bounds.

But if I've helped you reaffirm your worldview...I'm very happy for you!

I was talking about kit's 'Patty suit' claim...(not Bigfoot's existence)....and, specifically...how you were the key ingredient in the coincidental timing of the "imminent trip to Big Al's Mansion"....and kit's exit, to Japan.

Again, Cervelo....I thank you.

Hmmmm...since the suits at Big Al's house it most certainly has something to do with Bigfoots existence.
Your welcome...you should have a lot of free time now

It does not make a definite determination, regarding Bigfoot's possible existence.

Most importantly...we don't know whether there is...or ever was...any suit on display inside Al's home.

My main, and only, point was quite simple.....thank you very much, for your key contribution...towards the creation of a major 'red flag' regarding kit's "Patty suit" claim.

Sure it does, but more importantly it's shakes the foundation of the PGF'ers religion that is nothing but a dude in a suit. Kit on numerous occasions kicked PGF to the curb which obviously elicits a response from you by following him here to make strange connections that only exist in your mind.
But thank you for providing another great example of the bizzare ability to make connections where none exist....it's a hallmark of the footer thought process and and the foundation of the cult of PGF.
What will you do without Kit at BFF....oh wait....that's pretty obvious LMAO!

Okay, here's a non-Sweaty bigfoot folly:

Took Mrs. The Shrike and the young The Shrikes on a trip to the Rockies. Good tourists that we are, we hit Pike's Peak. 1) Yes, you should go. Driving more or less safely to 14,000' is pretty cool. 2) Gift shop at the peak has some of the world's best old-fashioned doughnuts! Light and fluffy inside, crispy outside, and heavy on the nutmeg. 3) I was blown away by the amount and diversity of bigfoot-themed knick-knacks! Footie crap outnumbered (by far) toys and T-shirts, etc. featuring actual wildlife like cougars, bighorns, and bears. Of course, most of the footie crap featured the iconic Patty look-back. Here's just a (dis)taste:

America's "Horse With No Name" is one of the first songs I can remember hearing as a toddler.

That drive up to Pike's Peak looks amazing...

One of the hairiest drives I can think off is the Pacific Rim Highway from Port Alberni to Tofino on Vancouver Island. Not for new drivers.

Crow was quickly banned from the BFF after dropping Woods & Wildmen because basically he did suicide by mod by then simply repeated telling other members that Bigfoot was not real and that the whole thing is a game.

There is no embarrassment there whatsoever. When they are amongst each other and feel confident that the group has their back, it is the skeptic who is to be shamed. You could no more embarrass a Scientologist. They have the same cult mentality.
Are you saying that Crowlogic admitted to pretending to believe that the PGF is authentic?

Irritated at you for invading the territory. You are an intruding foreigner and you don't fit right in. Your kind has run roughshod into the forests and taken out so much while changing everything.

This time "something" happened, but next time something might happen. Think about it. Respect the land and you respect Bigfoot. But even so, keep in mind that you might not be welcomed everywhere and always watch your backside. Humans are not alone here. They exist.

One thing you notice in these footie campfire stories is that the protagonists always seem to get back to sleep, even after being awakened by giant, irritated, bipedal apes. Another thing you can count on it that these researchers never seem to collect any corroborative biological evidence for their encounters with irritated, giant, bipedal apes. At a certain point, it's almost hard to believe, like they're making it up or something.

More like a squirrel nest. Where was that pile of junk found?

Way too small for eagle nest.

Even funnier is this quote:

A primate has evolved the ability to actively sense electromagnetic fields and even at a distance. Huh? No, this does not make sense. But then evolution is only a theory and if God made Bigfoot then he certainly could have given it special features.
A game camera wrapped in foil with cutouts for the sensors and LEDs should barely emit any detectable EMF.

Should also be true for the metal anti-theft cases for the cameras.

Not to mention that the EMF seems minimal/undetectable until the cameras are triggered. And not much even then...

Why not 360 cameras? One for each degree.

Mind Powers. Bigfoot can **** you up in your dreams if you trash talk him. It's not a stretch that he can detect game cams. It makes sense. Think about it.

Here is an actual posting by the Greenville SC Police Department.

If you see Bigfoot, please do not shoot at him/her, as you'll most likely be wounding a fun-loving and well-intentioned person, sweating in a gorilla costume.


Here is a link to the Boone, NC bigfoot that the PD is referencing.

Sometimes you have to remind bigfoot enthusiasts about this thing called reality. Oh, they might fight against it, kicking and screaming, but, as in this example, it's necessary for the public safety. Of course you never know if it'll take: for instance, I'd advise against any and all ape Halloween costumes in the greater Honobia metro area.

Ketchum took the aforementioned study results to the people at Nature magazine for peer review. After they saw them, it was so far outside their world of nine dots, they allegedly said it was too sensational for their scientific community. IIRC, they never said it was a scam rather too much science for their people to digest at one time. Even "science" apparently has its limitations, at least for now.
Yes. Melba's findings were too much science for the journal Nature.
