Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations they found bigfoot

Yes. Georgia is known for their state institutional facilities.

Not very politically correct Sunil.

We prefer the term "respite villages."

Aww, mebbe this will cheer you up:

Bigfoot Went to Georgia

Bigfoot went to Georgia
He was lookin' for shoes to buy
He wanted a deal
To cover his heals
And he needed them extra wide

He came upon a young salesman
Workin' at Payless and sawin' logs
Bigfoot sat down
Woke the salesman up
And said, "How 'bout THESE dawgs?"

I guess you didn't know it
but I'm Sasquatch from the South
And if you care to take a dare you'll get your own feet out

Now you've got good sized tootsies, boy,
But Bigfoot is my name
I'll bet some Dr. Scholls'
Against your soles
'Cause I'll put your feet to shame

The Salesman said I'm Johnny
You might think that you'll win
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
My feet's the biggest there's ever been

Johnny clean your toe jam off, forget about the phone
This piggy goes to market, this one "Wee, wee!" all the way home
If you lose, Bigfoot gets some shoes just like here in this ad
And if you win, you get these soothing pads

Bigfoot put his big foot in
The Brannock Measuring Device
And fire flew from the stainless steel
As he figured out his size

Then he pulled the slides down good and tight
And measured things real well
Took a deep breath, said "24 Quad E"
And passed out from the smell

[Instrumental]

When the Bigfoot came to
Johnny said "Prepare your Master Card
You'll pay for shoes, 'cause I have got
Some feets that's truly large

He said see these tootsies
Ain't they huge
Hairier than Terrible Ted, that's Nuge
Wide as a table, long as a truss
Toes 'bout as big as a
Greyhound bus

[Instrumental]

Well Bigfoot took his wallet out
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he bought a pair of Dr. Scholls'
Of a size for Johnny's feet

Johnny said, Bigfoot come on back
When you're ready to shoe those feet
We're havin' a sale on Birkenstocks;
They're two for one next week

He said my big feet are
The living end
Smelly as an outhouse basement, friend
Wide as a table, long as a truss
Toes 'bout as big as a
Greyhound bus

The excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body that built all last week, culminating Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet soufflé over the weekend as an independent investigator found out it was all fake.

Why us, why Georgia?? When this turns out to be a hoax, once again we'll be looked upon as a bunch of goobers.

The excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body that built all last week, culminating Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet soufflé over the weekend as an independent investigator found out it was all fake.

The satisfaction of seeing and laughing at people get suckered into the possibility?

SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi had paid an "undisclosed sum" — Internet rumors put it at $50,000 — to Georgia residents Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer for their frozen "corpse" and the privilege of trotting them, but not the body, out in front of TV cameras.

What I can't figure out is why these guys perpetrated a hoax that could and was easily debunked. I'm not aware of any monetary gain. 15 minutes of fame? The satisfaction of seeing and laughing at people getting suckered into the possibility?

Ideas?

So, did this Tom Biscardi know that it was fake when he paid the $50,000?

Note to Prosecutors: Steve Kulls is not "independent" of Biscardi. He is one of the co-conspirators in this scam. He's a long-time member of Biscardi's own gang, and was even credited by Biscardi during the press conference for helping to bring forward this "discovery". This hoax was debunked last week by the BFRO, a few days before the press conference. Kulls is now trying to help himself (and the rest of Biscardi's gang -- SearchingForBigoot, Inc.), from being named as a defendant in this case, by casting himself as "the independant investigator who uncovered the hoax." This is an ongoing hoax/scam, and Kulls is part of it.


Biscardi didn't start this hoax, but instead latched onto to it once it was presented to him by his partner Steve Kulls. Lots of people make ludicrous claims like Whitton and Dyer did (and like Biscardi has done in the past more than once). The element that made this hoax attractive for Biscardi was that Whitton is a sheriff deputy. Biscardi knew this would help the story appear more believeable to the media, for a little while at least.

Whitton and Dyer have now disappeared, and soon Biscardi and Kulls will disappear as well, along with whatever Biscardi was able to rake in from gullible customers around the world since his announcement of the "discovery."

Warrants need to be issued immediately before Biscardi leaves the country. Santa Clara County, California, (where the press conference was held) clearly has jurisdiction to issue the warrants, and all the elements of fraud are present. For a while after the press conference, at the height of the Internet storm of curiousity, Biscardi was trying to charge $2 to see the photos of the fake body. Millions of people around the world wanted to see the photos, and Biscardi may have raked in a tidy sum while the world was being urged to "wait and see"...
