If Bigfoot was real how come nobody ever talks about his dick. You got a 9 foot tall dude running around the woods naked and nobody that See's him is like "Jesus that thing had a 2 foot long pecker".

Quoted:

What happened to him?  Other than his uncredible stories on BF, he was a pretty good guy.

He disappeared after the last Bigfoot thread where it came out that he was completely making everything up.

Quoted:


Patterson's family admitted it was a hoax after his death.

Quoted:
Bigfoot, UFOs, whatever... The interesting thing isn't whether or not they exist, but how people react to the idea of them. Or, not...

Growing up as a kid, friend of the family was a big-time believer in Bigfoot. He'd take trips into the mountains of Northwestern Oregon looking for signs, interview people, had a huge collection of things like footprint casts. You talked to him, and you could easily become a believer. What was funny about him was that he was a college-educated guy, worked for the local government, and was still really credulous about the whole thing. You could not convince him that there weren't Bigfeet out there wandering around, everywhere.

What was even funnier than him? One of the local characters, a retired logger in his 80s, flat-out admitted that he'd spent a lot of time while he was out in the woods faking Bigfoot stuff, playing practical jokes on other loggers. He had wooden "slippers" he'd carved to leave footprints, and if you compared those damn things to some of the casts that the first guy had, we're talking a one-for-one match.

These two found each other because the first guy got told by some of the other loggers he'd interviewed to talk to him--So, he did. And, do ya know what? Even with all that crap from the old guy practical joker to blow his "evidence" out of the water, he was still a believer. All he did was shift his viewpoint a little, admit that there were some fakers out there, but he still believed.

Me? I've got no real opinion on the matter. Show me proof they exist, and I'll believe it if it's convincing enough. On the other hand, I don't disbelieve there's nothing there, either--When you've got all these more-or-less consistent stories going all the way back to the Indians, I kinda suspect there's a nugget of truth in there, somewhere. What the hell it is, I've got no damn idea, but I wouldn't be surprised if something turns up, one of these days, either. I've also seen some shit out in the woods that makes me wonder, over the years--And, I know that the forests of the Northwest aren't nearly as well-explored as a lot of people think. It's not likely that a large hominid like Bigfoot could have remained hidden all these years, but there's also a shitload of stuff that just doesn't add up to another answer, either.

I try to keep an open mind. The world is a weird place, and we don't know as much as we think we do about it all. Odds that something like Bigfoot has managed to avoid leaving real physical evidence is low, but there's also the really weird shit I've personally observed that makes me wonder if we're as smart as we think we are.

The plan, according to Meldrum, is to have the Sasquatch Trekkers work around the clock for six months. The team intends to use GPS mapping of areas it considers would be potential lodging and food sources for what are known in scientific terminology as relict hominoids, or in layman’s terms, large, hairy, man-like Bigfoots.

In fairness, he may not have been completely making everything, or even most things, up.  He obviously "enhanced his stories" a bit.  To what extent, I really don't know.  Maybe he made everything up, or maybe he just added a bit here and there to make himself seem like an expert.  The problem now, though, is that we really have no way to separate the truth from the fiction, so people assume the worst.

I wish he would come back.  He seemed like a good guy overall.

Quoted:


How much of what he said was a lie?  You don't know.  I don't know.  Hell, even he might not know.  That's kinda the thing about lying, isn't it?  Once you start, you have to keep making up different lies to cover it up.

I'd love for okn to come in here and tell us what he actually knows vs. what he exaggerated/made up.  The things he said didn't seem like lies out of malice or anything like that.  Seemed more like he he had some basis for belief and got in over his head trying to appear to be some sort of expert.  Then again, maybe he is just a con artist and was making everything up from the beginning.  Hard to tell just reading posts on the internet.
