Surprise, surprise. 

Last week we watched Georgia, USA residents Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer triumphantly reveal to the world their frozen Bigfoot corpse.  Well actually, they revealed their story of how they found a frozen Bigfoot corpse, not an actual corpse.  Regardless, Whitton and Dyer insisted that they had it and we were all going to be sorry if we doubted them. 

I wanted to believe, I really did. 

But, let's rewind and take a look at what really happened.  Ignorant and deceitful con artists no doubt - but you've got to give Whitton and Dyer credit for coming up with a scheme with a better storyline than the average Hollywood movie.

These two brainiacs threw a Sasquatch costume into the bottom of a freezer, filled the freezer with water and froze it into a giant ice cube.  Then they called up Tom Biscardi, Sasquatch Hunter, told him about their find, and asked him to buy it.  Which he did, allegedly without bothering to defrost the thing first. 

So fast forward through a media circus held last Friday.  All three men indignantly defended their find, staring down the cameras as they told a heroes tale of being shadowed by stressed out Sasquatch looking to recover the corpse of their dead buddy. 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Bigfootsicle is melting, but is at least another day away from being exposed for 'testing'.  Despite this seemingly important detail, money has already changed hands.  The next day, well, I'd like to say Biscardi and co. got the surprise of their life, reaching into the icy water and pulling out a rubber foot - but how could they not have known?

But like I said, I wanted to believe, so I can kind of get why Biscardi and his crew would want it so much more.  I tend to kind of half-assedly root for these guys - chasing after shadows and footprints and clumps of hair.  Can you imagine the day if and when they actually found a Bigfoot?
