LUNCH # 001-080111

On heels of the solemn passing of New Zealand's native son; Sir Edmond Hillary, his gnawing spirit for uncharted knowledge continues to thrive. With hungry hearts and hungrier appetites a group of seekers, dreamers, and above all researchers, reflect on the a unique singular passion that allows these law-abiding bill-payers to still have an excuse to wonder, dream and perhaps someday even discover.
Meet the Members of The Bigfoot Researchers Lunch Club, BFRLC for short. They meet twice a month and two weeks a year, in the pursuit of discovery.
This week they find a great Mediterranean place called Pasha, located near the corner of NW 5th and Burnside, Persian cuisine and culture are the highlights at this restaurant which offers lunch buffets, live music and dancing, hookah and catering. Minted potatoes and stuffed grape leaves were particularly popular among BFRLC members.
The fine persian detail on the furniture and eclectic middle-eastern decor underlined the undeniable sense that somehow, unknown to us, an unfamiliar course had been plotted--and better yet we were all stowaways.
The mix of anxiousness and apprehension was expressed in every word and gesture communicated and shared among BFRLC members. The unanimous vote of the official not-so-secret handshake, field research site suggestions, theories to pursue, and tons of confirming rocking "yeah!" moments were tossed and juggled like chines acrobats simultaneously tumbling over and under each other without collision or misstep. Before we realized it, the hour had slipped away, and lunch was almost over, the conversation had turned to reflect on Sir Edmond Hillary. Although there was plenty of opportunity, at this point during the lunch, to focus on things ending I think I can speak for us all when I there was really a sense of "what have we begun?"
Till next time -- feed your bliss

SIR EDMOND HILLARY DIES

Sir Edmund Percival Hillary, KG, ONZ, KBE (20 July 1919 - 11 January 2008) was a New Zealand mountaineer and explorer. On 29 May 1953 he and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers known to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. They were part of the ninth British expedition to Everest, led by John Hunt.

In 1960, Sir Edmund Hillary mounted an expedition to collect and analyse physical evidence of the Yeti. He sent a Yeti "scalp" from the Khumjung monastery to the West for testing, whose results indicated the scalp to be manufactured from the skin of the serow, a goat-like Himalayan antelope. But some disagreed with this analysis. Myra Shackley said that the "hairs from the scalp look distinctly monkey-like, and that it contains parasitic mites of a species different from that recovered from the serow."

His death was announced on 11 January 2008 NZ Time after his death at 9am

WTF! WIBF on BFRLC?

If you BFRL Clubbers haven't visited Squatch, Inc.'s fantastic new site you are in for a treat. With just the right amount of content variety; this BF site dares to cast a huge net with a broad appeal. A BF researcher of any level will hit paydirt with this site-- from the casual hobbiest to the 24/7 "I even smell like Bigfoot" professional researcher.

I found http://www.wisconsinbigfoot.com/ maintained by Squatch, Inc.'s via YouTube. The only quality vid of Grover Krantz available wast posted by Squatch Inc. (By the way the video now playing on BFTV is the vid I am speaking of.)

"So," Says I, "Lets check out the site http://www.wisconsinbigfoot.com/ ." What a great surprise. This guy not only knows his stuff, but obviously has enough passion and respect to provide BF Content with only the most discerning level of quality. (Audio, Video, and Pics)

I could go on and on, but I would only be preventing you from enjoying the site sooner. I will sign off with these last thoughts. http://www.wisconsinbigfoot.com/ was built and maintained with you in mind. It may not be as comprehensive as http://www.bfro.net/ but it is far friendlier. You will find your place of BF heaven on the site mine is here on this page.

I'm serious what are you still doing here? GO CHECK IT OUT! Heres the link again!
