My wife's grandfather made some birch syrup and also made some poplar syrup back in the mid-80s. It was pretty decent.

"kids still be alive"....that refers to the time frame it takes for certain DNA labs to get results back to the sender. You won't see the day but maybe your kids will still be around.

Yes it's a waste of their time but hopefully they got a good laugh out of the whole thing.
I'll bet those letters were edited a few times before they were sent. The original drafts were probably a real hoot. |

John Scharf, the guy who sent the letter to Texas about the Bigfoot kill policy, is harassing me on Facebook and the blog post calling me a liar. I made all the corrections he requested and apologized for the errors. But he is... uh... well, see for yourself.

YEAH, dude! And I had to trash it because you used ad hominem arguments. Calling him a bozo? NOT the help I needed.

He's already threatening me with legal action. And the Doubtful News comment policy does not allow name calling.
Problem with America, land of free speech-- We are too damn litigious. |

I agree on the litigation thing..... dueling pistols was better.......
One can usually spot the crackpots by their threatening to sue. He has no case, it's just all bluster , trying to get his way. I would ban him for making such threats as any thing else you say to each other could be construed as commenting on said litigation..... |

I have set him on moderate so I decide to post his comments or not. But I tried to placate him privately on FB DM. I mean, FOX News isn't going to clear his name, he has a perfectly good opportunity to state his case on the DN blog but instead he demands a formal written apology?
I think I was fair. I showed everyone exactly what happened. Transparency... not coverup. |

I am not particularly worried about that. I do have some means at my disposal but he has no case.
Especially after his facebook message harassment that I saved where he calls me "uncouth, illiterate and obnoxious". However, I just got tired of fighting the battle with these creeps and took down some posts. (I'm actually referring to the more popular BE blog which enjoys putting various POVs up like a piñata to swipe at.) I'm just going to tweet their antics as "silly" if the mood strikes me and refrain from extraneous commentary. Really, I can just give them rope and they hang themselves. I've learned a lot in this experiment.

First sentence, "With all of the recent controversy about Killing a Bigfoot in Texas..."
Where the **** have I been? While not of Kitakaze's or Parcher's caliber in things Bigfooty, I do read this board regularly and generally pay enough attention to 'things Bigfooty' to at least qualify as a Bigfoot 'commenter', but...WHAT Bigfoot killing controversy? I've never heard of it. |

It is a long short story.
The silly thing about the "hubub" is that it all seems pretty much meaningless and created a nice controversy for the footers to grab on to and hug. Another non-issue to become an issue. Another layer in the realm of it all. |

Something I had not yet considered until now is : Do they ever find human skeletal remains in the forests of the PNW? Wouldn't the acidic soils and perpetual humidity render these remains to nothingness in just a matter of days too?
It seems to me, that if local law enforcement has discovered skeletal remains years afterwards (buried or not) this would put the whole "Bigfoots remains are broken down by nature" theory to bed. |

Skeletal remains turn up in the PNW all the time, after years of being lost or buried. The Green River victims' remains have survived quite long times in the forests. It was last year, or the year before, yet another victim's skeletal remains turned up when we had a mudslide just east of Milton. The acidic soils and perpetual wetness didn't do away with that skeleton, nor many of the others that had been buried or discarded years before. So yeah, the idea of nature erasing bigfoot remains so completely has never been a viable excuse for having no bigfoot remains.

There's no squirming. I have on several occasions obliterated the 'footer special pleadings regarding the lack of bigfoot fossils or recent remains. It doesn't matter what you present, there's a core of fervent belief in bigfoot that will always find some way to cast bigfoot as "different" so they convince themselves that your examples don't apply. Remember, there are many BFFers who cling to this notion that scientists can't find bigfoot fossils because bigfoots bury their dead. Talk about a non-sequitur!

Doesn't this help us infer the physiology of bigfoot bones? If they are composed of marshmallows they aren't going to last long.
