More like the Dream Team, as in the one with Michael Keaton and the rest of the schizo's.

It's hard to believe that even the most ardent asshead Footers would still put any kind of faith into that complete and utter joke of a condiment known as Melba Ketchup. Doesn't she believe that Bigfoot is an angel or some other bollocks like that? Are these people appearing at kind of conventions where I can go and laugh at them in person? That'd kill an hour.

Although I find almost all of bigfootery humorous, one of my biggest laughs came when Melba claimed that bigfoot made her sore "down there "

From today's BBC. A Bigfoot sighting turned out to be a wandering "Bigfoot shaman" dressed in hairy skins. His bigfootery has a spiritual dimension.
However, Mr MacGregor said he was participating in a "sacrament" of "wearing of hair-covered animal skins and wandering in the forest".Does anyone here know what the words of this prayer are, and how the Sasquatch manifests its divine nature? |

"You and me, Bigfoot, ain't nothin' but mammals,
so let's do it like they do on the Discovery channel. I'll holler your name and I'll knock on the trees, please do not hide from me, please don't be a tease. You're the Matt to my Bobo, I'm the Cliff to your Ranae. You left a footprint in my heart, its dermal ridge is here to stay. How I wish I was Albert Ostman, being slung across your back. Carry me into your den, and introduce me to the pack. 'L' is for 'long', like your arms and your fur, 'O' for the orgasm that I get when you stare, 'V' is for 'very', which is how much I care, 'E' for 'erotic'. You're mine, Bigfoot, sir." |

Asking a Footer what they think about the British Bigfoot is kind of like Kryptonite to them.
On the one hand, they can't readily discount all of the sightings and encounters, because by admitting that they think the sightings are hoaxes or mistakes, it calls into question their own beliefs and the sightings of Bigfoot from everywhere else, including the USA. On the other hand, if they ascribe a supernatural aspect to it, it also then calls into question their own belief about Bigfoot being a real, flesh and blood critter. If Bigfoot is being seen in the UK, yet it clearly cannot exist there, then what does that say regarding sightings and encounters for Bigfoot across the globe? |

He also existed in Atlanta, Georgia, for a short period of time during 1995:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swsVPdndk40 He was confused during this period, which we'll call his wilderness years, and didn't know whether he was an Egyptian mummy, or a bipedal ape-man. |

It's a reasonable question. There are multiple metrics I use to determine whether a report is plausible or not. Many subjective, some not. For example, I grew up in San Diego and was pretty excited when I found reports in Camp Pendleton, but knowing the area, quickly realized there is no way the habitat would support a breeding population of squatches. The area is completely surrounded by Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties which has approximately 10 million people. It is not just implausible, it's impossible.

Weird to see you apply logic in this instance and yet totally abandon it elsewhere. Surely you understand that the chances for a viable breeding population of giant ape-men anywhere where you're pretending they exist is about as far-fetched as a Freddie Mercury reunion with Queen.

Anyone in the UK can switch the channel called "Blaze" on right now and see a 2-hour special called "Bigfoot Captured."
It follows another 2-hour special with Ken Gerhard, called "the Wolfman," which revolved around the supposed spate of murders in France over 200 years ago, which as far as I recall, was down to a local man who was tried for the killings, but this "docu" doesn't go into that, it instead literally looks into the idea that it was an actual werewolf, and then comes to the conclusion that it was a trained Hyena. I'll likely watch some of this Bigfoot nonsense before making my way to the pub for a pint of normality. |

Don Jeff is on here recreating a 3D full-scale Bigfoot...
It's pretty funny so far, tbh, although I'm sure that's not what they were going for. |

So, basically, you're admitting that the BFRO, as well as supposed witnesses, can be mistaken and can also be liars? And how do you draw a line between the crap and the credible?
Seems that Bigfoot believers are at a loss to even agree on what's legit and what's not. The thing with the British Bigfoot is that, unless you subscribe to a "paranormal" angle, you have to contend that they're all mistaken and/or pretend, meaning that if every single sighting in the UK (meaning Wales, England and Scotland) is a mistake or a prank, then that doesn't exactly bode well for the so-called Bigfoot of the Americas. It seems silly to admit to one particular sighting as being a hoax, and yet oddly claim that another, pretty similarly silly sighting, is in fact genuine. Bigfoot believers don't seem to know their arse from their elbow. |

So, the Bigfoot Captured "documentary" was an obviously sub-par and inferior take on the Blair Witch Project, whether intentional or not, it had the most ridiculous and hammy acting possible, and yet Don Jeff and Bindernagel were both in it, lol. Did they know going in that this was an intentionally scripted piece of nonsense? How does anyone take these "experts" seriously?
Bigfootery gets more and more embarrassing by the minute. |
