Traveling with PugsleyTonks

What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

Laughs & GigglesMUSEUMS

Are you willing to believe?

With all due respect to Mothman and Kim Kardashian, Bigfoot is the USA’s most significant legendary being. Certainly, Bigfoot is Americana. As such, PugsleyTonks wanted to track down the latest science on Bigfoot. There are several Bigfoot museums and research centers in the USA. The forested mountains of southeast US seemed to be rich in Bigfoot evidence. Therefore, PugsleyTonks recruited a trusted, local guide from the Georgia area. Then, we ventured to Cherry Log, Georgia. This remote area in the Georgia mountains is the home of Expedition Bigfoot – The Sasquatch Museum. What we found there was compelling. Are you willing to believe?

The museum collects evidence of Bigfoot’s existence through hard evidence and eye witness accounts. The pearls of wisdom that we gathered were quite varied. Initially, we learned that Bigfoot has many names. See the picture below for a state by state variation in Bigfoot identification. For reasons I can not explain, most of the southern names seemed offensive to me. Also, the museum provided a detailed list of Bigfoot’s diet. Surprisingly, Bigfoot eats various roadkill, but only eats “hots dogs out of a cooler.” Why be picky about hotdog storage if you are willing to eat roadkill? Lastly, there was the Bigfoot Hunter Wall of Fame. Regrettably, I do not have any information on the induction requirements.

But, enough on the educational material. Let’s talk evidence of existence. Much of the evidence was as expected. There were artist recreations based on eye witness descriptions. Further supporting evidence included plaster casts of footprints and handprints.

Additionally, one of our favorites exhibits was the Bigfoot recording. You listen to an eerie audio tape recorded by a renowned Bigfoot hunter. The recording is a clear back and forth communication by something in the forest. Furthermore, this was no average forest animal. In fact, an expert Naval Cryptological Linguist determined that the recording captured a true “language.” Undoubtedly, I know what you are thinking. Bigfoot language is remarkable. But, where is the hard evidence. The kind of information that just can not be fabricated.

Believe it or not, there was actual Bigfoot hair. I am not talking about a picture or eye witness account. Rather, its was the hair itself! Also, how about a large, non-human, disembodied hand. The DNA analysis had both “unknown,” as well as human markers. I am not going to say anything about “evolutionary missing link.” PugsleyTonks tries to avoid controversial religious topics. Anyway, with all the presented evidence, I am sure that I have opened your mind to Bigfoot’s existence. But wait, I have saved the best for last. Brace yourself…

You may be able to fake a hand print. Perhaps even a foot print. But, how could anyone possibly fake a butt print. That’s right. Deep in the forests near Walla Walla, Washington, they actually found a Bigfoot butt print. Included with the butt print was a detailed analysis by a University of Idaho anthropologist. The analysis detailed pertinent data on the tailbone, natal cleft and striations of butt hair. WOW! But, that is not even the pinnacle of the evidence. In a vacuum sealed, bullet resistant enclosure, there was a Bigfoot TURD. MIC DROP!!! You can not fake a Bigfoot TURD . If you were teetering on the edge of believe before, its time to let the turd push you over the edge.

There you have it…Expedition Bigfoot in Cherry Log, Georgia. Well worth the trip for all you interested in cryptozoology (i.e. study of disputed or unsubstantiated animals). Beyond Cherry Log, Georgia, I also later visited the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine. Do not waste your time there. That place sucked. In October, I will be continuing my research at the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in the everglades of Florida. You have to admit…I am thorough in my cryptozoological investigations. So, are you willing to believe? Actually, belief is not what is important. Rather, is all about having fun in the investigation. And when your investigative journey ends at a Bigfoot turd…I am clearly on the right path. Have a wonderful day. PT
