"Expert" Bigfooting and the Proverbial 15 Minutes


Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by J.M. Bailey, author of "Eve: A Journey Of Discovery". Follow her on Facebook or visit her website, ironmountainridge.com.

Well, it's next week and there is no captured bigfoot. Stomp that dead horse! I must say, I'm relieved. You see, every single time such an outlandish claim is made, it sends a jingle of apprehension through the spines of just about every bigfooter around. We all want to know, to see but most don't want a live OR dead specimen. We obsess over the possibility relentlessly - we can't help it. When all is said and done, most of us agree that just some really great footage would suffice! And then there's the potential D....N....A evidence. Sheesh. There is so much controversy surrounding it that there is absolutely no way on earth it will ever be viewed objectively. No matter who publishes it...IF it ever sees publication, that is.

That brings me to the point of this particular blog. "Expert" bigfooting and *ahem* - FAME. I write about this because of some personal experiences I am having in the crazy world of Facebook. Wow, just WOW, as they say.

Tell me how you are an expert in something that has not been proven to exist? How are you better than anyone else out there who does whatever it is they do? What standards are you going by, Mr. or Ms. "Expert"?? Unless you've lived among them, studied them face to face, analyzed available data and published good solid AND scientifically acceptable material regarding this as yet identified species, you are in the same boat as everyone else!! Get your "accolades"...do whatever you need to validate yourself but know, know you are absolutely no more an "expert" than anyone else.

Period.

And, just on a personal note. I will post what I want...the "Share" button on FB is there for a reason, you know. Get your 15 minutes any way you can. Even if it means being a jackass. As for me?? Not seeking any, thanks. My mark will last as long as it lasts.

Oh, and Eve is now available on Kindle. :) Next week...I will post REVIEWS.

And I am sending a copy to a screenwriter at THEIR request. Shhhh.

  3. The guantlet has been thrown DOWN! Agreed, but does Ms. Bailey realize that all sorts of "proofs" will come from people almost as mentally ruined as me? And a guy like me couldn't care less about Facebook rules and such... please everyone, ABANDON FACEBOOK, please have nothing to do with it, in any capacity. Please kill it with acid!

  6. Please clue us in to what is going on in the facebook drama. I'm not on facebook so I have no idea. I need my bigfoot soap opera fix. :(

    1. You can't just want to see a Bigfoot and expect it to happen, they choose you, that's how it works.

    2. I takes years of rigorous self delusion before you will finaly be able to convince yourself that a bear is a magic ape.

    3. Yes, indeed, bigfoot chooses you. Sort of like dementia.

    2. Here she is:

      http://gfteenporn.com/img/hot-chick-taking-some-self-shots-i

      She is really a 48 year old woman pretending to be a hot young chick to get book sales for her fictional book on a subject she knows nothing about except that she likes to go to Bigfoot conferences and seduce all the famous male footers there. I guess she doesn't want them or her husband to know who she really is or they all might put 2 and 2 together.....

      Sad when a woman can't even stand behind her own work as herself but has to validate herself by pretending to be young and hot and has to sleep around.......

  8. Eve will be available through Amazon for $14.95...and on Kindle plus various other retailers.

    Finally, I would be remiss not to mention the seemingly imminent release of the long awaited sasquatch DNA/genome paper. While the news is lauded, debated and ridiculed, one thing is for sure:

    Google will be on overtime with searches....
    for looney tunes who buy books about a cross between a bear and a pinhead...give me a break!! Folks are trying to make money on a peer review paper that hasn't come out yet (and never will) its insane!! and funny because people will probably buy the book and then go into the forest with their gifting basket full of fruit.

    1. For years I misunderstood the meaning of the lyric “you don’t need a pinhead just to hang around”.

    Never has bigger bullshit been said. Video will never be enough, except to blind believers.

  10. The Daisy BS did not cause me any apprehension, because I never believed it in the first place.Perhaps all you newbies fell for it, but this type of thing has happened 3 TIMES in the last 10 years. It was NOT EVEN AN ORIGINAL IDEA.

    And speak for yourself lady, I do want a specimen (dead or alive) brought in, it's the ONLY way to ever solve this mystery.

  11. What a poor excuse to advertise a book - a post about absolutely nothing.

    1. She actually makes a good point. All these claims about so & so being one of the "best" researchers in the business are pointless. Bigfoot researchers are amateurs wandering around the woods with cameras. None of them, aside from perhaps Sykes, is actually doing serious scientific research.

  12. She's an air head. What can you do? LOL
