In a galaxy, far, far away.... I did it all for the Wookie.

So what are we to make of the Erickson project and their news conference? Well the Bigfoot community is tearing them to pieces and I imagine the only ones really listening are the very casual observer that missed the original stories when they first broke months ago. That’s what happens in this community, in my observation, when you burn bridges and expect people to have your back when you go public like they have now. We are not too forgiving and we have memories like elephants, especially when you try to offer the public, what you couldn’t get us to swallow the first time around.

As a barometer, I would say our sniffers are up to snuff and we are not likely to sit back quietly, when we still have bs stuck to our own shoes as they now try and pass it off as caviar served on their finest china. Melba thought she was being drug through the mud when she first went public. I have a feeling she has seen nothing yet.

You have to admit when we first heard the Erickson report being sensationalized yesterday in the media and even viewed on a Times Square marque, we were hopeful that they had been holding out on us all along and the good stuff was now finally forth coming. You better believe we paid attention with our heads tilted and our ears piqued for the goods. So you can’t blame us for being upset when they bring their same YouTube videos and botched, un-reviewed DNA reports to the media, this time hoping that a more gullible crowd will be more receptive to their finds and for good measure toss in a video of someone in a wookie mask. Some Bigfooters are not real bright, but I imagine it still somehow generates them money or they wouldn’t do it.

Real quick show of hands…who in America has not seen Star Wars? I am guessing everyone raised their hands and some of you both of them as you high fived your buddies in your SWTOR chat rooms. Do they really think a video like that is going to fly in the free world where George Lucas captured the attention of everyone with a pulse once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away?

Just wanted to put something out quickly as my first inclination was to ignore it completely. I decided to write this when I read on RL’s blog that there was no bad on Erickson because the video of Chewie was not shot by him so we are supposed to go “ok, that’s all right then. As long as the other stuff can’t be linked to a fan fave Star Wars character we must conclude them to be legit. We should ignore the parts we don’t like and gobble up the rest because you can’t argue with a breathing rug.” Which reminds me, didn’t princess Leia call Chewbacca a giant walking rug?

That’s all for now folks, but please comment and tell me if you agree, disagree or would just rather sit back and watch your platinum edition of The Empire Strikes Back. My thoughts unfortunately are that these are not the droids that we are looking for and in our quest for the truth there is no try, only do. Good night everyone and may the force always be with and not against you. Especially when dealing with an angry crowd of Bigfooters.

Ready, set…Bigfoot!
