“We’ve got two compounds at undisclosed locations where we’ll conduct studies for 90 days, then release it back where we found it, I promise,” Biscardi said.

This quote made me laugh out loud.

I bowed out of Bigfoot “fandom” somewhere around 1996-1997 when the controversial Erik Beckjord was the reigning Bigfoot presshound. Moneymaker had just begun his website. A show called “Paranormal Investigations” (I think) aired some yeti footage donated by “anonymous” hikers from the Himalayas. Dr. Krantz put me in contact with a guy in Utah who turned out to believe that Bigfoot came from UFOs and the only major forum on Bigfoot was Henry’s mailing list which was deteriorating with in-fighting. I said to myself, “I have better things to do with my time” and walked away from Bigfoot.

So I don’t know Biscardi. When I started reading this blog a few months ago I couldn’t help but notice the open disregard for this individual but kept an open mind to learn for myself what he was all about. I have now decided that this guy’s a hoot. A bona fide carny. Maybe even the ringmaster in his own media circus. (I state that with the full rights provided me by the First Amendment) He is far more entertaining to me than Beckjord ever was.

Thanks for the laugh, gents. I needed one today.

I think that says enough.

The feds couldn’t keep their specimens at Lawrence Livermore National Labs in the 60’s for 2 weeks.

Could you elaborate what you mean by this?

TB gets the ear of the reporter. Then the newsperson shows no level of critical reportage by letting a quote be published conveying that TB is “the only person to go out” to talk to people who have been “traumatized by Bigfoot.”

It reflects sloppy reporting. Such articles push along the thinking that only those getting publicity and charging for “expeditions” are the ones doing the fieldwork.

Incredible, but people believe it.

What I find particularly interesting (according to Mr. Woolheater’s email correspondence to the reporter) is the Texas Bigfoot Research Center has changed its name to the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy and is now a non-profit group. I think that is great. I also had no idea that the TBRC had 60 individuals in it. That’s quite an organization.

Will there be an official announcement soon from the group? Maybe Mr. Woolheater can fill us in here at Cryptomundo?

Here’s my offer. If you come with me, and we capture a Biscardi on the trip, I have two undisclosed brew pubs where we can go and spend 90 days watching him and sampling choice stouts, porters and ales. At the end we sell the footage and all make a mint.

Shu.

YEESH!
