2020 Election Results..... here we go.....

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I suspect the people who have Bigfoot evidence are dead or else do nothing but huddle in abject terror.

Not necessarily. https://www.thedailybeast.com/sasquatch ... adian-town

But consider - There are 6,000 or so bears in WNC, and a lot of people have gone hiking for years and never seen one. Not even bear poop. Now bears aren't that shy, and of course sometimes join in your camping experience or ask to rummage the trash can in your yard, but other than those, seeing a bear in the wild is fairly unusual. Consider that there are more moose than people in the area of Vermont know as "Northeast Kingdom" and yet a lot of people have never seen one.

Now instead of thousands of not-very-shy bears and road-salt loving moose, you have a critter that is pretty rare, and is very shy. What are the odds that a given person in the woods at a given time will luck onto seeing this thing who works very hard at not being seen? I'm not saying - and don't know - if Bigfoots are real or not, but just because nobody has produced a body doesn't mean they aren't.

:lol: Yeah, that's pretty much it. I'd have to think real hard about telling anybody if I saw one and nobody else saw it. Hell, with my luck I wouldn't see just one, but a whole fucking pride of them. :shock:

You made me look. First thing I found:
What do you call multiple Bigfoot? Bigfoots? Bigfeet?
It's a serious question, asking for a friend.

Bigfoots
Vote A

Bigfeet
Vote B

Mommy and Daddy
Vote C
Vote and see results at link.

:o
You call them persons. Bigfoot is a person too, how do you think he'd feel? Stop being so ignorant.
:D
In Canada we would call them Sasquatches.
The NBA :lol:
More at link. Some folks seem to take the discussion quite seriously. :roll:

Which is correct: I saw two "Bigfoots" or I saw two "Bigfeets"?
This reminds me of a time my wife and I invited a bunch of our coworkers to a hockey game. The account manager had given us a luxury box to make up for a bad experience we had a few games earlier.

The game was our Tampa Bay Lightning vs. the Toronto Mapleleafs. One of my wife’s guests was a former amateur hockey player. My wife asked him the similar question, “shouldn’t it be the maple leaves?”

I thought that was a good question, since I didn’t know the answer either. He explained that it was one team with multiple players (one Bigfoot with multiple feet), therefore the team was the maple leafs. Each player was a maple leaf. If they were on two teams each named maple leaf, then the two teams together could be the maple leaves, but they’re not.

I don’t know. I was already a few drinks in by this time, so I could have just made it up. Cheers!
More at link. So far, no one has taken up the question of the name for a group like 'pride', 'flock', etc. I skimmed a Wiki article, didn't see the answer.

There are links to things like:
Big foot Sex Offenders? - Check Your ZIP Code Now
Are Chewbacca and Bigfoot Related?
Bigfoot Hunting Multiplayer - Apps on Google Play


There's probably an answer somewhere here:

Image
https://bigfootforums.com/

However, the one I randomly opened is largely a discussion about breaking forum rules. Ironic, Bigfoot don't follow no stinkin' rules.

Then, I got bored and quit looking.

They are often called ape men, and since a group of gorillas is called a band or a troop . . .

Bigfoot Band - music to clog by.

The question hit upon one of my grammatical pet peeves, somewhat but not entirely related to the maybe mythical creature. But to answer the question, without doubt, the plural would be "bigfoots." "Bigfoot" is the name of the creature - one word. Sure it sounds awkward, but to say "Bigfeet" is not pluralizing, but actually changing the name. It is not like "wolf" and "wolves" where the plural comes from a standard grammatical plural variation. But that brings me to the other part of peeve. It has become common for people on TV and in print to refer to a "couple" as plural. F'rinstance, they might say "the couple have two dogs." Nope. "couple" is singular, even if it consists of two people. "The couple HAS two dogs." On the other hand, if you insist on using "have" it would be "Jen and Jake have two dogs." Same with "the team have..." Nope. Substitute "it" for either couple or team, and it's very clear. And don't get me on a soap box about "we had went..." Where does anybody even learn that could possibly be acceptable? Yet there it is, pretty much every day somewhere.

Agreed, and I think most of the "Bigfeet" proponents are joking, but what I was really trying to find was the word for a group of them, like 'herd of cows', 'murder of crows', 'gaze of raccoons', etc. I failed.

Has anybody claimed to have seen more than one of them? They're reputedly lone critters. So first, you'd need to see a "couple" of Sasquatches, then maybe "three" of them, or maybe you'd see a "family." It would be a long time before you'd see enough to need a nonsense name like "murder of crows" or "congress of baboons" or "gaze of raccoons" or any of these... https://scribol.com/environment/animals ... =799&asv=1

Leopards are solitary animals, yet your link mentions "A leap of leopards." :P

Anyhow, it's neoplacebo that anticipates

Well, I just picked "pride" at random mostly...but it's the label for a group of lions and lions are generally considered to be kings of their local domain. Aside from my hypothetical bad luck to observe a group of these bastards, I did consider other terms for them. Some of these were "tribe" and "clavern" and "brace" but I just settled on "pride" since I was getting bored with it and had better things to do. Better things to do are actually the best things one can do. I recommend them.

Bah, it's a false flag....fake news.....a hoax. Within the next two weeks the lying and whining will reach a fever pitch and people will be waving guns around, pistol whipping the skeptical. And all that is before January. The real shit rain is still to come.
