AI Thread Summary
A Yakima man, known for his historical association with Bigfoot, recently donned a costume to debunk the famous Patterson film, which has been a focal point of Bigfoot lore for decades. This act aims to reinforce the idea that the film is a hoax, although it does not entirely dismiss the ongoing fascination with Bigfoot. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by debunkers, particularly in proving that the costume worn by the man is the same as that seen in the original film. There is skepticism regarding the authenticity of the footage, with some recalling details like the supposed female characteristics of the creature depicted. The conversation suggests that definitive proof, such as the discovery of a Bigfoot corpse, remains elusive, fueling ongoing debate about the creature's existence.

If I remember correctly, the initial film showed Bigfoot with rather well-endowed mammary glands. Did Bob explain this part, I didn't see any details in the photos.

My inclination has always to believe that footage was a hoax, but is this just another one?
 
Oops, sorry, read the rest of the story. It was supposed to be a female.
 

Thread 'Status Update by JRMichler'

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
