I hereby declare Musicat psychic… or in on it.

I do have amazing powers, but sometimes the most obvious explanation just pops out at me like a werewolf on a moonlit night. And if I’m in on it, I’ll be expecting a check soon.
Sure. The last place you left them.
Yep, that’s what I thought. Think I could do this for a living?
I’m just amazed that the hoaxers thought they could get away with this. A minute’s access to the “Bigfoot remains” by a reputable scientist would unravel their whole scheme. Unbe-fuckin’-lievable.

Almost equally amazing is the fact that somebody gave them cash up front for this. That’s one gullible bastard. I feel a little sorry for him, but I find myself wondering if he has ever been ripped off by the wallet inspector.

This just in:
Police Officer Kidnapped by UFOs–The uniform and badge of a Clayton County police officer has been found near a crop circle. Indentations in the ground near the clothing are “suspiciously similar to other verified UFO landing gear,” according to reliable sources.

A book with the title “To Serve Man” was found with the uniform. Authorities refused to speculate on its significance.
I think you’re giving them too much credit, Elendil’s Heir. How long does it take to poke something to determine that it’s rubber? Surely less than a minute!
[QUOTE=Swallowed My Cellphone]
Okay, I don’t get it. I understand the whole sell the “bigfoot body” and run away with the cash fraud/crime. Separately, I understand the have a press conference, get famous for a hoax that discredits the true bigfoot people, get your fifteen minutes of internet fame for your prank.
Unless i’ts millions of dollars and they can forever go into hiding, I just don’t see how this scam would pay off.
[/QUOTE]
I wonder if they tried to sell the “body” or if the Bigfoot investigator pestered them until they agreed to sell it. That would explain things much better, since almost anyone would try harder to come up with a decent fake if they were intending to sell it.
I smell a Coen Brothers movie in this case.

Hey…maybe this is just an elaborate studio sponsored gimmick to drum up interest in a new film?
A couple of interesting bits from that article:
I can’t really feel sorry for the guy for buying the new hoax (literally).
As did Bigfoot itself! Anyway, who exactly qualifies as a “Bigfoot Expert?” Isn’t that kind of like having a PhD in Klingon history?

This was the speculation on the radio a few days ago, but I don’t see anything substantiating it yet.

Ah, I forgot about that. I suppose you can’t expect a “Bigfoot expert” to be the credulous type.
Why do you think they froze the damn thing first, CaerieD? It increases their lead time. If the [del]costume[/del] Bigfoot hadn’t been frozen they wouldn’t even have made it to the car with the check.

No comparision at all…
Do you have ANY idea of how HARD the language quals are for Klingon?
And dont even get me started on the Klingon Shakespearian Theory classes or the “practicals of Klingon dating rituals” internships…

My bad. I should have compared Bigfoot expertise to skill in composing love sonnets to Jar Jar Binks.
A Bigfoot expert is someone who refuses to buy a rubber gorilla suit frozen in a block of ice.
I think the hoaxers found the only person in the world who is not a qualified Bigfoot expert.

Maybe, because he sure doesn’t have a future as an officer any longer.

Hey, did you go to Imperial University on Qo’noS, too? Prof. Chu’leb was one tough grader in Klingonese 101, I tell ya.

Jar Jar,
My love for you extends far far
Let nothing come between us to mar mar
this perfect feeling that is so above par par
I know many look at us and say har har
But let us ride into the sunset in my car car
