In this episode Bigfoot Museum curator Mike Rugg talks about the latest news from Dr. Melba Ketchum that the upcoming Bigfoot DNA study is to be released.
You are right, I have to listen to Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage first to get the whole musical story. I will do that. As far as me being rumferlife, no that isn't so. We are just two like minded guys that like our Rum and Rush and I give him full credit for the name rushferlife because Rush is what brought us together!
A Farewell to Kings is also one rocking song and I love Pearts use of all the bells, chimes and other cool shit that is part of his percussion tool box, what a badass.
Mike Rugg is a very intelligent person. I wish he would get rid of the garbage he allows to "help" there at the museum. He just railed on people who castigate others for their beliefs. That thing he has working there, that *women* is about as vile and nasty as they get. She just knows how to suck up to him.
Poor guy. Hope he gets a clue one day when he finally finds out what a pyscho she is.
He's a really nice guy (and kinda looks like Santa!) and makes some really interesting points about mystery apes (or whatever we're supposed to call them now) and hybrids but where the science community is concerned Ketchum's comments and views will stop them from taking it seriously. Yeah everybody is entitled to their own beliefs but people in mainstream science will not stand up and take notice if the person behind the study seems to be kinda detached from reality? Even if the science is good it will be dismissed, wait around to see what Sykes and Meldrum have to show us that will be worth waiting for.
Yes, exactly. Forget Ketchum. She's a loon angling for a TV show or a book deal. The real scientists will be along shortly. Their findings will be taken seriously, whatever they are.
We did not all spring Mitochondrial Eve, it's just that the other mtDNA lineages existing at the time were washed out by hers eventually. Probably because she had a boatload of hot daughters, LOL.
Why is it that Mike Rugg always seems to consistently make the most since in this field. I say appoint him as president of the Bigfoot field. Of course that is my opinion has he is so apt to say.
See? "It is not incumbent upon rational people to disprove the existence of Bigfoot. It is incumbent upon those making extraordinary claims to back them up with real evidence." This is what we have been saying to you Footers all along.
That's exactly right. With something like this the Carl Sagan rule always applies. But blanket claims as fact that Bigfoot DOES NOT exist are solely based on faith, not science, and certainly not on evidence of any kind. The only rational position on the existence of Bigfoot is agnostic skepticism. We still don't know for sure either way.
Kittalia A. sent us the following questions about Patty, the Bigfoot in the Patterson-Gimlin film. They are all very good questions that we we wish we knew the answers to. We're no "Henry May" and it's times like this that we wish we had his number. Since we don't have Henry around whenever we need him, here are some easy questions for all you Patterson-Gimlin believers to try and answer:
Thanks to Matt Moneymaker for sharing this story with us from a guy named Thomas S. who was camping with some friends near the French Meadows Reservoir in August 2012. This remote, forested basin is located on the American River approximately 58 miles east of Auburn in the Sierra Nevada's. Before his encounter, the man thought Bigfoot "was just for entertainment purposes", but he changed his tune when he ended up with messy drawers that night. "That will teach to goof on our show," says Matt.
Uh Oh. Here we go again, folks. M.K. Davis originally brought up this theory called the "Bluff Creek massacre" theory back in 2008 at a conference. The controversial theory was immediately rejected by the Bigfoot community and Davis was shunned from ever speaking about it again. According to Davis, based on his expert film analysis and color enhancements of frame 352 of the PG film, he theorizes that the Patterson party had been to the Bluff Creek site at least once before returning to capture their famous Bigfoot video. His theory also suggests that the party probably murdered a family of Bigfoots and buried their bodies. Davis points to an enhanced anomaly resembling a bloody dog print and a pool of blood as proof of his theory.
Finally...first. I can retire too. Wanna go golfing Mayor?
ReplyDeleteLol. Sure buddy! I take it you live somewhere warm, I'm up to my ass in snow. Only indoor mini golf for me.

DeleteYou are right, I have to listen to Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage first to get the whole musical story. I will do that. As far as me being rumferlife, no that isn't so.

ReplyDeleteMost sensible opinion I've heard so far, regarding this release.
ReplyDeleteYep Ketchum needs to pull a miracle out of her ass if she expects this to be taken seriosly.
DeleteShut up troll.
Deleteseriously.
Deleteexactly!!
DeleteI'm confused am I the Troll?
DeleteHe/she's right. Ketchum and her looney "publicist" have made a monkey of us all.
DeleteCase in point, from the Houston Chronicle website:

Dammit...
DeleteYes you are, Herbie.
DeleteOkay just wonderin'
DeleteHerbie's right.
DeleteMike Rugg is a very intelligent person. I wish he would get rid of the garbage he allows to "help" there at the museum. He just railed on people who castigate others for their beliefs.

DeletePoor guy. Hope he gets a clue one day when he finally finds out what a pyscho she is.
And the air inside the museum is dead too. "Keep Santa Cruz Weird"
DeleteHerbie's wrong.
DeleteMIKE RUGG FOR PRFESIDENT 2016!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteexactly!!!
DeleteOh yeah !, why can't we all just get along.
DeleteA McCheese/Rugg ticket would kick ass!
Deleteseventeenth :)

ReplyDeleteYeah Mike is a cool cat.
DeleteDoes he smoke a corncob pipe? Cos that would just push him into the supercool group!
Deletea corncob hash pipe,double down on cool
DeleteGood comments, 9:48. Can't wait for Sykes, he will have more credibility. When do we get the final word from Sykes?
DeleteNo one knows when I guess we'll have to wait for a leak then a hasty press conference
DeleteYes, exactly. Forget Ketchum. She's a loon angling for a TV show or a book deal. The real scientists will be along shortly. Their findings will be taken seriously, whatever they are.
ReplyDeleteA TV show? Dumber shit I've rarely read here and that says a lot.
DeleteCouldn't have put it any better Mike. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWe did not all spring Mitochondrial Eve, it's just that the other mtDNA lineages existing at the time were washed out by hers eventually. Probably because she had a boatload of hot daughters, LOL.
ReplyDeleteDon't step on the Rugg !
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that Mike Rugg always seems to consistently make the most since in this field. I say appoint him as president of the Bigfoot field. Of course that is my opinion has he is so apt to say.
ReplyDeleteChuck
he certainly makes a lot of sinse
DeleteThat was really good. He explains things nicely and clearly separates his opinions from established facts.
DeleteMike is definitely the most level-headed and likable guy in Bigfooting.
DeleteMike Rugg is bigfootings Morgan Freeman. And Santa Clause!
Delete"Live and let live."
DeleteWhat a great idea.
See? "It is not incumbent upon rational people to disprove the existence of Bigfoot. It is incumbent upon those making extraordinary claims to back them up with real evidence."

ReplyDeleteAnd the things that they fear are a weapon to be used against them
DeleteMike Rugg is the best in the field! Love you Mike, stay healthy! Love the updates
ReplyDeleteThat was a great interview! I agree with Mike completely. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteMike is always a voice of reason.
