If we accept that a bear can be misidentified as a sasquatch, aren’t we also obliged to accept that a guy in a gorilla costume can be misidentified as a bear?

Just think, this guy has been doing this for well over a year! So it must have worked well for him. In other words, the victims response was as expected. Done in good taste, I can see how it could be very funny! Especially if caught on video. I find it all harmless. I think it is good they caught him, so he can get treatment for his addiction. But I am glad no charges have been filed for now, and I doubt his intentions were bad. I have pulled pranks on my friends and when younger, even strangers. I found it very funny and so did most of my victims, after they found out. One prank even involved an angry Bigfoot recording just off in the darkness from our campfire. The guys (young and healthy) had downed a few, then around 11PM the tape went off. It started out low, got a bit louder, then eventually went into a wild madness!

At first they thought it was a bear, but then realized it was not! None of them had the courage to go see what this thing was. One actually suggested it sounded like a Bigfoot in some sort of gas pain, or mating ritual! I and my partner in crime simply could not stop laughing. Yet none of the other guys even noticed us practically with tears in our eyes! I kept a watchful eye and was ready to end the prank instantly. What is quite interesting is that this was our hunting camp and we all had guns. At night the guns were kept in our trailers unloaded. Despite being way back on some logging road, with some wild creature in the woods late at night, none went for a rifle! Yet I really believe they were a bit scared. After some 10 minutes of this, they finally noticed our laughter and quickly put 2 and 2 together. We fessed-up. They took it well, but vowed to get even. They all laughed with us. As they should. I would, if a good natured prank was pulled on me. I would! Life is too short to get serious about a jokester. So long as no real harm was done and the prankster promises never to do it again- like I did.

I would not have pulled that prank if there was an old person in the group and would be mindful of such things. But I could see how fooling strangers could be risky, because one might not know their health status. But this guy did it many times and no real harm was done, that we know of. Some of his victims might even laugh along now. I guess he was willing to take the physical risks and that was his business. Sort of like an Extreme Sport. Perhaps he was counting on no handguns allowed in Canada? Yes I can see the humor, but I would not have done it that many times.

I happen to believe in Bigfoot. I have seen and feel there is more than enough evidence to support this. Bigfoot pranks do not change my opinions. I am actually for the public not believing. I would prefer them to view Bigfoot as a prank. That way the creatures would be left alone by whackos. When Bigfoot is finally proven, scientists will want research funds to go study the things. Perhaps even tag one. Then there will be the odd types that will want to enter their domain and try and live with the creatures. What for? So we can destroy them? The African Mountain Gorillas were better off prior to being discovered by us. Plus obviously they, (Bigfeet) do not want our contact now. So the more non-believers the better for Bigfoot.

But no matter what, when Bigfoot is proven, pranks or none, the choice to believe in or not to, will have ended. So the outcome of a public prank today is basically meaningless, in the scheme of Bigfoot.

Perhaps there’s even a psychosis term for ‘wanting to be shot in a gorilla costume.’ I’m sure there is.

There is, and you said it.. PSYCHOSIS!!

I’d like to know if ‘wanting to impersonate a crypto- creature’ has a swanky psychological term for that behavior.

Perhaps there’s even a psychosis term for ‘wanting to be shot in a gorllia costume.’ I’m sure there is?

I’m sure his ‘wee fun game would have come to an abrupt end.

I can’t for the life of me think why, even under the severest intoxcation, anybody would find this activity even vaguely amusing, even if they did it just ONCE! But this guy is sober and has done it on various occasions over two years.

Suggest a whip round to buy the poor guy a back-up brain cell for the faulty one Mother Nature provided him with.

Especially where I live, hunters all over the place. Not a very smart move.
