LONDON – DNA testing is taking a bite out of the Bigfoot legend. After scientists analyzed more than 30 hair samples reportedly left behind by Bigfoot and similar mythical beasts like the Himalayan Yeti, they found all of them came from more mundane creatures like bears, wolves, cows and raccoons.

Bless his heart, he may be certifiably bat-crap, toys in the attic, foaming mad but I love him.

I *never* miss Ancient Aliens and even watch the reruns.

There has never been a finer unintentional comedy on TV.

I rank right up there with Mystery Science Theater. Not sure it ever made it all across the country but was a classic in the SF Bay area

I found what I’m sure was a Bigfoot hair sample in my yard last Saturday morning. Well, it was either a Bigfoot or the coyote that tipped my trash can over. One or the other. Could easily be the Bigfoot, though. Even though I did sight the coyote a couple days earlier. Still, and all, I believe it to be Bigfoot. Maybe I’ll have it analyzed. Even though I know the difference between Bigfoot and coyotes. I’ve seen that film of the Bigfoot, the one where he’s looking back over his shoulder. Coyotes don’t look anywhere near like that.

I love MST and MST3K!

I was miserable when SciFi Channel cancelled it.

Once in a while my sig box contains one of my favorite MST3K quotes, “It’s a cult and they worship blue oysters!” but I don’t think anybody ever notices.

;D

Yeah. Big can of MST3K as well....and the cult quote is so classic....I remember that one specifically because I was trying to drink some iced tea and well you can imagine the results.
