Great idea we will produce one soon! But let me do my best to explain: A handshake fake (reach out like your going to shake their had). Slide a side-five with a back-to-back-hand-slap (slap your friends hand palm-to-palm, then bring your hand back so your slap the back of your hands, and then a final slap palm-to-palm again.) You should hear three claps if you do this right.
I would argue that we are normal people too. I would also like to add, that persuading people to take us seriously is not something I see any value in. Topics should never be pursued because someone else has said it is important and interesting. Topics should be pursued because they have captured your own imagination and interest. If Sasquatch has not captured your imagination or interest, than I hope another subject has. Once you pursue that subject, I hope you too, will not worry if you are taken seriously.
Guy Edwards, I completely disagree. I would argue there is no such thing as "normal," except as a setting on my washer or dryer. Curiosity is an attribute common to most animals. Homo sapiens is certainly not an exception.
Some chose to think all "real" researchers are "serious." Even Albert Einstein seems to have had a funny side. I consider this handshake ritual to be a humorous artifact of human behavior.
Ultimately, it is a test as to whether you will be too strident and not willing to let go of your personal ego. I cannot take that too seriously either.
The Skookum could not be to be a social animal, supposing that they exist. They must be of the "Leave No Trace" religion. Their coat is the equivalent of our ghillie suit. They must use their ears far more than their mouth. Homo sapiens seems not to be so inclined.
I agree with you JLS. I was responding to the context in which anonymous uses "normal". The washer/dryer and Einstein are a clear examples for your argument.
And thank you for appreciating the handshake in the spirit I intended.
Your handshake has the actor looking past his/her left shoulder with left leg forward. In the famous frame 352, Bob Heironimus looks past his right shoulder, right leg forward.
Put your right hand in, pull your right hand out, put your right hand up and look all about, do the Squatchy Watchy as you turn yourself around, That's what it's all about.. Duh!
Great story. Very interesting and believable and being from Denver and also being very familiar with the area, I was completely engulfed in the story. WISH YOU HAD SOME VEIDEO OR PIC'S THOUGH!
once upon a time there was bigfoot, then man began to evolve into creatures having at least some smattering of dignity, alas society has once more digressed into an ape like creature pretending to shake hands and taking the pose of their old kin....and jesus wept...
Let's keep the language clean, keep in mind we have younger fans and we want to make this the best bigfoot website for bigfoot news and bigfoot research.
cool
