Finding BigFoot

ElGuapo · Guru

I like to watch this show. Sometimes it is funny. But I actually believe in BigFoot, so maybe that is why I like it. What do others think about this show????

jakemac · Senior Member

I've never seen it, but I'm willing to bet that Harry and the Hendersons was better.

ElGuapo · Guru

Bad Jacques!!!!!!!!!

Come to the desert, and we can do some researching. Late at nite, among the cacti, with tequila.

jakemac · Senior Member

I thought that Bigfoot roamed the forests of the pacific northwest. Not the dusty arroyos of the southwest.

ElGuapo · Guru

With enough tequila, I am confident you will see BigFoot and many others strange things.

You guys "ain't got no class"!! You've gotta try Slivowice! Is a high-octane (104 proof - for the good stuff, 92 proof - for the garbage that's exported to the US) distilled beverage made from plums which grow in the wilds of eastern Europe (and along the back acre of my cabin wink ).

It's quite smooth, and visciously sneaky. Five shots will "sit the average male straight down on his smokehole!"

PAMD · Veteran Member

Yes, Anita, Slivovice is heavenly! After distillation, a small amount of the plum mash is added to the final product, along with meticulously distilled water (it usually single-pass distills out at 130 proof/65%). You can taste the essence of the plums in this, finest of "sipping liquors", which is as far from an aperitif as one can get.

In case you're interested: Slivovice.org

My grandfather contacted our relatives in what is now the Slovak Republic shortly before my 14th birthday, and had them send a bottle of Slivovice which was distilled from plums grown on the mountain farm where he was raised. It is a tradition that the grandfather prepare the birthday meal that day, and instruct the grandson on the importance of responsibly enjoying eastern Europe's most cherished "special consumable" - it's for sippin' not for swallowin'!

The neatest part of the above story took place as the item entered the country, in 1968; it seems my relatives packed a second bottle, with a note describing the ritual, and the importance of at least one bottle arriving intact. They sent two bottles because they mistakenly thought that we were like the Soviet Union, (at that time, we weren't, now??), and needed to "grease the wheel" to get things done. The customs agent who inspected the parcel happened to be of Polish decent, and allowed both bottles to come through (there were no federal laws banning exchange of small amounts of alcohol at that time). He included a note to my grandfather requesting that he contact him, as he wanted to purchase a bottle to treat his family, as he had no known relatives in Poland.

My relatives in Czechoslovakia sent the gentleman two bottles, and in exchange, he sent money and women's dress shoes, which were impossible to obtain then. His relationship with our family lasted until his passing in 1988.

I have a 60 gallons of plum mash "working" in the shed at my cabin, I wonder what will happen to my 2012 vintage plum wine??

One other item of possible interest is a drink which is made during the holidays in the coal regions of Pennsylvania: Boilo

This show is the most ridiculous bigfoot show on TV. Some of those guys are so off the deep end it's not even funny. There was one where they were interviewing a supposed eye witness, and then one of the guys said something along the line of he didn't think the witness was being truthful because "everyone knows a bigfoot has light brown hair". Also claims that bigfoot loves bacon. WTF? I would like to believe bigfoot is real, but if it is these guys are never going to find it.

I'm a beer girl myself. Although that stuff PAM talked about sounds good.

I love the following shows:

- Swamp People
- American Horror Story
- The Walking Dead
- Fringe
- Doctor Who
- The Big Bang Theory
- Dirty Jobs
- Monster Quest
- Destination Truth
- Ghost Hunters

I don't think not liking one bigfoot show suddenly means I hate everything.

jakemac · Senior Member

Gee, and all my Grandmother's Uncle got for running rum on the canadian border, was 5 years in federal prison. NO LADIES SHOES FOR YOU !!

ElGuapo · Guru

I find "Finding BigFoot" interesting for some reason. Except the lady researcher, Renae, weirds me out somewhat. But I feel BoBo makes a great stand in for BigFoot during the recreations.

Monster Quest is cool also.

ElGuapo · Guru

Until they find a BigFoot body, well then probably no one will believe it. I think it is kinda like one of those things that you have to see yourself to believe. Kinda like ghosts. But once you see one, you know it is real.

For me, there just seems to be so many reports. What else could all of those people be seeing???????

ElGuapo · Guru

I am not talking about that. I mean all of the reports by various citizens. Even some from like policeman. Can all those people be wrong. Okay lets say 75% are wrong. Well that still leaves 25%. So there has to be something to the reports.

ElGuapo · Guru

Hey Coxie, do you have BigFoots in Australia?????????????

ElGuapo · Guru

No, I meant to ask him if BigFoots lived in Australia also. Maybe they are called something else there.

Yes, I do believe in UFO's also. Actually I believe more in UFO's than I do BigFoot. There has to be other life somewhere else in all those galaxies.

ghostmonkey · Guru

http://www.yowiehunters.com.au/ here you go El, it's called a Yowie down here.

ElGuapo · Guru

Well, have you seen Yowie, Coxie??????

ghostmonkey · Guru

Nah not yet, but I remember when I was at school on a camp and we scared the girls that bad that when one of them woke in the middle of the night and had to take a dump she just stuck her butt out a window and bombed away. lol

ElGuapo · Guru

Funny!!!!

I really like your Yowie page. It states that another name the Aborigine had for Yowi, was Yahoo. Kinda interesting. Well I am off now, to read up on it.

Later!!!!!

Yeah well who do you think owns and runs Yahoo? Just imagine how much he spends on custom shoes.

Maybe the Native Americans name for them is google?

ElGuapo · Guru

If one goes to the BFRO web page, you can look at reports from every state in US. Kinda interesting to read those reports. Surely everyone cannot be wrong.

ElGuapo · Guru

There are some strange monkey like creatures in the desert near the border. Can't quite say they are BigFoots. But you know, spend a few days in the desert without anything and see how you look.

ElGuapo · Guru

Well it seems that the BigFoot Field Research Organization (BFRO), is not supporting the claims of the article.

Here is their recent tweets:

1) BFRO UPDATES @BFRO_Updates

Most recent Ketchum-DNA story was timed to coincide with Finding Bigfoot episode mentioning DNA. BFRO does not use Ketchum for DNA testing.

2) BFRO UPDATES @BFRO_Updates

BF DNA study happening in England (Dr. Sykes) is very legit. By contrast, the DNA study conducted by Melba Ketchum does not seem to be legit

3) BFRO UPDATES @BFRO_Updates

There are many reasons to believe the DNA study by Melba Ketchum is nothing but a big scam and publicity stunt. Check out her BBB rap sheet.

I'm more of a Swamp People girl myself. Can't seeem to get into Bigfoot. Maybe it's cause I'm a creature of the East Coast.

PAMD, my kind makes rakia from grape pomace. When we aren't completely cracked and try and make it from cherries. Whatever the beginnings of our clear elixir, some of our oldsters do a shot a day "for courage" and to get through the winter. Better than central heating, I hear.

anotheridiot · Guru

If you check latest popular searches on yoohoo, bigfoot dna was #3 saying it shows bigfoot is part human.

We might be able to get more evidence if we get it a smartphone so it can update its facebook each time he eludes a bigfoot hunter.

ElGuapo · Guru

At least the BFRO is attempting to be scientific about their research. They research each BigFoot sighting or encounter or whatever. And if they think it is a hoax, well then they state so.

Has anyone here seen BigFoot???????????

anotheridiot · Guru

I havent been in the woods enough. I just dont like the way show ends up. Keep the background noise down so we can hear what they hear. Frickin dramatic pulses of music. Also, why do some computer generated animation to show what the people claim to have seen. To me that just adds to how easy it is to make every hoax look like a sighting and even makes me question the infrared.

ElGuapo · Guru

It is strange that sometimes you cannot hear what the researchers are hearing. Somehow I think that a BigFoot would be able to differentiate between their calls and some human attempting a vocalization. But I have not tried it myself.

Pinpointing the sounds after like ghost hunters would be nice, I just really think if it was quiet that everyone watching would be completely quiet so they can hear what is out there. I still say making sounds of a wounded animal would do much better.

ElGuapo · Guru

Yes, that does seem like it would work. I have seen them try to use a baboon, well think that is what it was. I have also seen them use a little baby toy that made baby sounds. Thought that was strange.

ElGuapo · Guru

Saw one of the shows a while back and they collected some BigFoot hairs that a person brought with them to one of those town hall sessions. But I cannot remember if they got it tested or what.

I have my own theories regarding BigFoots and dimensions. It is possible!!!!

ElGuapo · Guru

Well they still have not found BigFoot. Possibly they should check Mo-Kcar's house. He is at the least related.

1Moparsick0 · Guru

Might be El.... I wear a SIZE 14 eee SNEAKER. Mine's bigger than yours, so whatcha gonna do about it...LOL

PAMD · Senior Member

Foot size does not always foretell "size-size"... Neither does the depth of the male voice.

rumple · Senior Member

Wow, they're right! I never noticed that before! That explains why people are always commenting on my nail-beds extending all the way to my elbows.

I saw my first real life chicago coyote today (well early this morning) in a park just north of the Eisenhower expressway just standing there watching the cars go by.

Not impressive I know, but this is a park by a busy expressway, with condos across the street and rarely do people see them. Get in a forest thats who knows how many square miles and yeah, I believe they could be in there. I just cant take the suspensful music on this show.

Nurses in an area hospital had told me that the only useful way to adequately determine "size-size" is not foot size or nose size, but instead the depth of the (finger-) nail bed. I believe this to be true and accurate.
