    Pretty sure montpelier is in Idaho not Oregon. And to top it off it's in the far southeast corner of Idaho, nowhere near Oregon. Lucky us here in Oregon

    $10 a ticket is a bargain for live theatre these days. In NYC, you'd pay 30x that amount to see someone perform a staged reading of fiction.

    Nope. I would not pay 30x that amount. Why? Because I think NYC is a large cesspool and they'd have to pay me 3000x to get me to go there. From those I have met from there, they seem to be less cosmopolitan than a dirt farmer in Eastern Oregon.

    However, that is a good thing. It means they are less likely to come to Oregon. They are terrified they might get out of range of a cell phone tower.

    Now John that's not nice. I used to think that way and I lived in upstate NY for 25 years. After I moved to Washington State I had to go to NYC for work. I had a blast. Took the train in from Long Island and tromped around Grand Central Station, went to Macey's (it was close to Xmas) and rode the wooden escalator in Macey's and realized Maureen O'hara and John Payne rode it in Miracle on 42nd Street and then I cruised down to Times Square and then over to Roosevelt Center and saw the Christmas Tree and the people skating on the big rink all around 11 pm. And there was the Empire State Building in lights and I realized again here was the town that suffered through 9/11 and it was like the hair stood up on my neck and what a great place. An American place.

    When I think of NYC I think it is as "American" as Tijuana is "Mexican." It both of them should be fenced off and declared not to be a part of the nation they are in.

    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote of "London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained." NYC is no more "American" than London.

    It and Texas have a lot in common; particularly in regard to egotistical provincialism.

    That you want to recommend it because of terrorists attacking it is sick. It is a place where you are denied natural rights to defend yourself and a vote on the laws you live under. Those things are protected and provided for under the Oregon Constitution.

    NYC would have sunk long ago on its own filth if it were not for the rest of the US having to support it with Federal dollars.

    JLS seems like one of those people who's gotten his ideas about NYC from tv dramas.

    Dude we're all Americans and not everybody has the luxury of living in a place as wild and beautiful as Oregon. Probably half of the people living in the states had a relative that came through Ellis Island. Mine came earlier. From England in 1700's and Alsace Lorraine in the late 1600's. Just because the denser population has led to some different conditions, politically and socially, doesn't mean they're not still our countrymen. A lot people from NYC have died to defend this country in every battle since our founding. Probably more than from all of Oregon put together.

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from
