  1. This makes no sense. I should probably mention that I live in the Puget Sound region, and here it’s considered crazy not to believe in Sasquatch. Paranoid, to be precise; no other conspiracy theory in history is more ludicrous than the idea that Sasquatch is a hoax. No one has any idea how many people over the years have made fake giant footprints around here, I’ve probably done it myself at some point. What makes it believable when THIS guy says he invented “Big Foot”? The natives here only have beliefs about them going back a thousand years or so, and the incident that gave Ape Glacier Valley its name only happened about a hundred years before this twirp “invented” Sasquatch. The DNA in the follicles of the hair found by men who spent their whole lives looking for Sasquatch only failed to match that of any known animal. Assuming it’s only a legend, the possibility of this guy having started it all is logically ruled out as thoroughly as is possible. Most of the “skeptics” seem to come from places without real forests, and also to believe that the Earth is running out of trees. Just looking around anywhere here, it’s plain to see enough cover to hide a dozen undiscovered spiecies of megafauna. I hope this dosen’t seem overly vehement, it’s just a pet peeve of mine that when people consider themselves skeptical, they set the bar for proof so incredibly low for what they want to believe.

  2. I’m a skeptic, but in the truest sense of the word. I don’t rule out the possibility that there is a Sasquatch, but I don’t assume there is either. The reason for my post was to opine about the video that this guy says he helped to create as a hoax. The video is the strongest case that many Sasquatch supporters (not all, but many) have to support their belief. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen “Unsolved Mysteries” type shows that anylized that video to the individual grains of color in each frame to conclude that it “had to be real”.

    Maybe there is a Sasquatch, but the video does not prove it.

  3. Wow, I went off totally quarter cocked there. I just followed your WND link. I had assumed that you were talking about this guy who “confessed” on his death bed that he’d “invented” bigfoot by faking some footprints in the 50s, desperately hoping to be remembered for something I guess. I think my comment makes more sense in reference to that. I guess if that’s what it takes to motivate me to comment on stuff, so be it. I’d better start posting mine more now that I’ve got a link from Vox. I’ve only posted once since Valentine’s day. Later

  4. That makes sense.

    You’re missing a comments deal on your site. I liked your most recent post, the conversation with the Ukranian.

    Who is Glen Reynolds, why do so many blogs have “Glen Reynolds Says” quotes, and what does it take to get a quote?

  6. I’ve been blogging for quite awhile to not even know how to do a comments section, but I’m not sure if I want one or not. I’m thinking I might want to do some of the kind of whiny personal posts that would tend to attract a lot of “you’re a lady’s vagina” type comments. I should at least put my current email up though. I like that I can do long comments here.
    Glad the Ukrainian corresponcence post was OK, I wasn’t sure. I hope she didn’t come off badly the way I edited it.
    Glen is the instapundit.com, the king of all bloggers, who gets mentioned a lot in the mainstream media. He’s the guy everyone wants to get links from. I think some of the quotes from him are made up. He linked to something I wrote a long time before I’d ever heard of blogs, so I didn’t realize it was kind of a big deal, and it hasn’t helped my blog as much as it ordinarily would.
