I'd forgotten all about Podgy Murdy.

She's probs busy with the Viz Fat Slag's Christmas special.

I have her on ignore so I havent noticed much. I usually can tell when and what shes posting due to responses to her posts.

I've peeked a few times and noticed her and the other one claiming I'm not really ignoring them because I'm addressing stuff they post.

But that's only because I can clearly read responses to them.....its not hard to see what's being said by watching convos lol.

I genuinely hope shes doing well. I have no ill will towards her.....or anyone really. I just dont have interest or use in what they have to say or any desire to interact. I'm definately not gonna carry poison in myself for anyone.

I'll be honest here, Shamp, and admit that I've never thought much about Bigfoot.

Could there be some uncatalogued "Wild Man of Borneo" roaming the forests out there wihout an iPhone and a Facebook account? Sure, I suppose it's possible. I mean, anthropologists suspect there may be more "undiscovered tribes" out there in the wilds. I'm just not sure in what way our eventually discovering them will have an impact on our view of humanity.

I find the idea of our eventual contact with intelligent extra-terrestrial life forms more compelling and certainly more momentous.

I just thought you'd like the way he delivers his points, I never was one for bigfoot either but the more of this guys content I watched the more I thought, it's certainly a lot more plausible than I used to give it credit for...

I took a look at the guy's channel, Shamp, and it seems to consist mostly of eyewitness accounts and older alleged photo and video documents. The problem with visual proofs is that they can easily be doctored. That famous 1967 video of a "Sasquatch" purposefully striding through a clearing (as though he were late for work) still remains the best video evidence for the existence of this cryptid. And it's not very good. Blurry. Distant. Short. Could be a guy in a gorilla costume, for all we know. And it probably is.

Keep in mind, I'm a skeptic by nature and I'll always abide by Carl Sagan's famous dictum that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs." While the claim that there exists an uncatalogued (and highly secretive) primate species is certainly extraordinary, the evidence for it is weak.

There have been over 10,000 "sightings" of Bigfoot over the last fifty years (according to
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
), most of them easily explained as hoaxes or pranks. Or even as accounts delivered by those with vested interests in their being considered authentic.

Oddly enough, though, this paucity of extraordinary evidence isn't enough for me to just pooh-pooh the whole thing away. Like most skeptics, I try to keep an open mind when it comes to these things (and, by "things," I mean claims about natural, real world events or persons or creatures that could fall under the purview of scientific scrutiny but for which adequate proof is currently lacking).

No, my "objection" to the possibility of Bigfoot's existence has more to do with the following:

- We humans WANT to believe. We NEED to believe, it seems.This makes us poor interrogators of our own senses (which deceive us, more often than not);

- We humans will often prey on those who want or need to believe. It's in our nature to seek an advantage over others. This makes us (among other things) pranksters and hoaxsters and all manner of deceivers;

- And finally, this, the most serious refutation for the existence of lone cryptids such as Bigfoot: any biologist will tell you--as will any zoologist--that for any member of a complex species (such as primates) to reach adulthood and autonomy with no evidence for the existence of a supportive group, clan, or tribe is highly, highly unlikely. For even one Sasquatch to roam the northwestern woods (or a Yeti in the Himalayas), there has to be a whole slew of them that do so. Yet no hunter has ever accidently shot a Sasquatch. No driver has ever hit one on the highway. No wildlife official has ever tagged or bagged one while culling the wolf population. No firefighter has ever found the charred remains of one on the edge of a burned down forest. No skulls or bones have ever been found by a curious hiker. It's hard not to conclude that tales of Bigfoot are taller than the animal itself is said to stand.

Like I said, though, I try to keep an open mind. As far as I'm concerned, and based on the evidence (such as it is), the jury's still out on this one.

There are probably many creatures deep in the woods we dont know about and until they come out of the woods and start ruining peoples days, they arent really our problem.

I liked the whole idea of it being an expert at avoiding us in ways our brains cannot comprehend and the like, from minute things like disturbed cobwebs and so on... The photos of the apes at the zoo in a pen/enclosure meant to maximise viewing looking quite shit on a new iphone camera etc...

Fucking hell^^^listen to this mouthful aye? Look at the big brain on Blurt. We don’t need to fucking believe and we don’t necessarily want to believe either for that matter. Put that into your pipe and smoke it. And keep off the prescription drugs while you’re at it!

Nobody that I've ever spoken to or spoken with or fielded a convo has either regretted it or me regret it.

So if somebody says they are possibly regretting it, I call bullshit. It's just differences in opinion and that's wholesome and totally A OK....

We're more than our online personalities....

I’ve snapped out of it, but I was hoping that you would learn your lesson. Pick your troll, don’t use my child as fodder. As a parent I don’t appreciate it. And my ex wife didn’t leave a great impact on my her as it is. Quite simple. So it’s up to you now. You know what I want?

I’ve snapped out of it, but I was hoping that you would learn your lesson. Pick your troll, don’t use my child as fodder. As a parent I don’t appreciate it. And my ex wife didn’t leave a great impact on my her as it is. Quite simple. So it’s up to you now. You know what I want?
Look man, nothing's real on here ffs... Like I said if I genuinely thought there was any truth to it I'd have disowned you the same as you would if it was somebody else, it's just a shitty troll... Forget about it...

I like Shampain, but he's very leftist.


His time in gaols has trained him to be weak...

I took a look at the guy's channel, Shamp, and it seems to consist mostly of eyewitness accounts and older alleged photo and video documents. The problem with visual proofs is that they can easily be doctored. That famous 1967 video of a "Sasquatch" purposefully striding through a clearing (as though he were late for work) still remains the best video evidence for the existence of this cryptid. And it's not very good. Blurry. Distant. Short. Could be a guy in a gorilla costume, for all we know. And it probably is.

Keep in mind, I'm a skeptic by nature and I'll always abide by Carl Sagan's famous dictum that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs." While the claim that there exists an uncatalogued (and highly secretive) primate species is certainly extraordinary, the evidence for it is weak.

There have been over 10,000 "sightings" of Bigfoot over the last fifty years (according to

), most of them easily explained as hoaxes or pranks. Or even as accounts delivered by those with vested interests in their being considered authentic.

Oddly enough, though, this paucity of extraordinary evidence isn't enough for me to just pooh-pooh the whole thing away. Like most skeptics, I try to keep an open mind when it comes to these things (and, by "things," I mean claims about natural, real world events or persons or creatures that could fall under the purview of scientific scrutiny but for which adequate proof is currently lacking).

No, my "objection" to the possibility of Bigfoot's existence has more to do with the following:

- We humans WANT to believe. We NEED to believe, it seems.This makes us poor interrogators of our own senses (which deceive us, more often than not);

- We humans will often prey on those who want or need to believe. It's in our nature to seek an advantage over others. This makes us (among other things) pranksters and hoaxsters and all manner of deceivers;

- And finally, this, the most serious refutation for the existence of lone cryptids such as Bigfoot: any biologist will tell you--as will any zoologist--that for any member of a complex species (such as primates) to reach adulthood and autonomy with no evidence for the existence of a supportive group, clan, or tribe is highly, highly unlikely. For even one Sasquatch to roam the northwestern woods (or a Yeti in the Himalayas), there has to be a whole slew of them that do so. Yet no hunter has ever accidently shot a Sasquatch. No driver has ever hit one on the highway. No wildlife official has ever tagged or bagged one while culling the wolf population. No firefighter has ever found the charred remains of one on the edge of a burned down forest. No skulls or bones have ever been found by a curious hiker. It's hard not to conclude that tales of Bigfoot are taller than the animal itself is said to stand.

Like I said, though, I try to keep an open mind. As far as I'm concerned, and based on the evidence (such as it is), the jury's still out on this one.
I liked the whole idea of it being an expert at avoiding us in ways our brains cannot comprehend and the like, from minute things like disturbed cobwebs and so on... The photos of the apes at the zoo in a pen/enclosure meant to maximise viewing looking quite shit on a new iphone camera etc...
You wanna suck whaaaa?
????????????? I can't believe you're still upset ffs, what happened to you? Yer pal X gets that hurt he talks about raping peoples dead mothers then has fits of the moral highground when he gets rough treatment, but you, hurt for days? WTF man it's just a troll if I really thought you were that way inclined I'd have NEVER spoken to you nevermind like ya... Snap fuckin out of it!

I’m still waiting for an apology? Do you have an issue with a supposed mate asking for an apology? I’m well aware of the troll…again, it’s been ten years dealing with the shiite.

The funniest fucking thing here, is you trying to explain how an off topic forum works!? I was doing it when you were smoking ciggies in high school.

Well if you know how it works it would be water off a ducks back, no cunt has ever apologised to me for anything... Like I said probablt the worst thing, taste wise I've ever seen was fuckin X saying something like he was going to dig up my mum and fuck her frozen corpse or similar, I didn't ask for an apology for that, I didn't fucking want one... If me typing sorry makes you feel better I'll do it because my aim here is not to actually fucking upset people irl so...
