Just something we wanted to mention about good friend and Bigfoot Folk Song Artist Tom Yamarone and his visit to the John Madden Estate for last Halloweens Trick or Treat.  Apparently, it's a favorite spot for all the little ghosts and goblins every Halloween night as Mrs. Madden ladens down everyone down with lots of goodies.  We'll let Tom explain it: Mrs. Madden fixes up the front gate and walkway with all kinds of Halloween themed decorations...a mannequin dressed like a gardener and signs out front saying "the witch is IN" "park in driveway"...it's a classic stop before hitting the streets for the real trick-or-treating. The big deal is that HE'S never there... away during football season... and she puts on the ultimate Halloween stop for candy craving kids...and the urban myth lives on about the 5 whole candy bars she'll give you....this year she topped that with a bag including 5 whole candy bars and about 20 bite size candy bars. The photo is of the butterfinger bar that we got at the Maddens... with BeerScout holding it. The Big Score!!! BeerScout's got the goods, a Butterfinger from Mrs. Madden!

Chances are if you have never seen a Bigfoot skulking around Wisconsin before, now might be the time to observe one.  The Bigfoot Field Researcher's Organization is invading Price County for a 2nd time this holiday weekend hoping to capture one on film or find some tracks, whatever evidence they can on the elusive primate.  "The area (Price County, WI) has particular characteristics about it that make it advantageous for evasion: swampy terrain, boggy terrain and big cedar swamps." Matt Moneymaker, BFRO With 60 people involved with the search, expect all Sasquatches to be fleeing in all directions away from this swampy locale in northern Wisconsin.  So keep your eyes open this weekend, Bigfoot may be out and about and trampling through a neighborhood near you.  Check out the full story by Brian Bull - Bigfoot expedition wraps up near Phillips from the Pierce County Herald at Rivertowns.Net. Check out more on the Wisconsin Expedition over at BFRO.Net. Check out everything they have for Wisconsin Sightings broken out by county also over at BFRO.Net. BeerKid - Still Squatchin' For Life! Yammerin' Yamarone In The House! Internationally acclaimed Bigfoot Folk Song Singer Tom Yamarone was in the house a few Saturday's ago.  After downing a few large bottles of Chimay Triple (and 1 of Blue) it was time to "Pose with Patty". Tom's new CD should be available soon, but your still welcome to check out his website Songs For A Bigfoot World for preview sound clips and other Bigfoot related info. And if you're not drinking Chimay - Peres Trappistes, trust me, maybe it's time you start. BeerKid - Still Squatchin' For Life!

...of The Packers.

I spent a Saturday drinking some home-brewed Ale with Kai, Cliff (our generous host), Scott and Flippy.  Of course we were talking Sasquatch all day long.  And we remembered to grill up some Carne Asada over some open flame, perfection. Well, we drank more beer, and we talked more Bigfoot, we ended up drinking alot of beer and talking alot about everyone's adventures out looking for Sasquatch.





You should go check out Flippy's Moped Ride to Seattle.  A very funny story of a young man's dream to ride through the great Pacific Northwest while searching for Bigfoot and learning a few survival skills along the way.  It's over at his website: www.crappylittledreams.com.  And yes, that is a genuine authentic reproduction cast footprint of Patty, the female bigfoot of the famous Patterson-Gimlin film.

OK, these links will lead you to the stories I compiled into the book "Big Newsprints - Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Wildmen, Yeti & Other Strange Animal Reports from the Past."  Sasquatch stories going back to 1764!  Including the CAPTURE of an 8' 3" wildman with 2 cubs in Minneapolis in 1839!

Priscilla's Bigfoot...

Here's a great overview of the Hairy Man - Mayak Datat: An Archaeological Viewpoint of the Hairy Man Pictographs from Kathy Moskowitz Strain over at the Bigfoot Information Project. Painted Rock is located on the Tule River Indian Reservation in central California.  This rock art site is unique; It's most unusual feature is the presence of an entire Bigfoot family.  Besides the male Hairy Man, there are also a female and child "bigfoot", but also because of the traditional Native American creation story by the Yokuts Tribe that accompanies him, Mayak Datat - The Hairy Man.

Condor said, "People should be different from us, so give them hair, not feathers or fur to keep warm." Then Coyote said, "People should be just like me, because I am smart and tricky, so have them walk on all fours." Hairy Man, who had not said anything yet, shook his head and said, "No, People should walk on two legs, like me." All the other animals agreed with Hairy Man, and Coyote became very angry.  He challenged Hairy Man to a race, and they agreed who ever won could decide how People should walk.

The above material on Mayak Datat, the Hairy Man is from the work of Kathy Moskowitz Strain and the original artwork of Jennie Franco.

The bad man of the woods am I,    I grit my teeth and wildcats quail; I frighten wolves to death and tie    Knots in the frightened grizzly's tail.

The lynx is doomed that I pursue,    The panther fears to cross my path; I tear the catamount in two    And crunch the pieces in my wrath. I drink hot blood and eat raw meat,    My snort's a thing to terrify; Wild things behold me and retreat,    The bad man of the woods am I.

We've always been told that we have a "healthy" fascination with a certain primate that roams through out the forests of North America and other remote area's of the world.  So with summer break finally upon us, and not much Packer news to keep us occupied, we've decide to proclaim that this week is "Sasquatch Week" here at Packer Palace.  So enjoy a pleasant diversion for the next few days catching up on all the Sasquatch folklore that's out there, and rest assured, that we'll be getting back to Green Bay Packers business soon enough.  Ummmm, maybe that was an "unhealthy" fascination for a certain primate in North America...

Ever wonder if Bigfoot has been sited in the county that you live in?  Here's your chance to browse through the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization's (BRFO.Net) geographical database of Sasquatch Sitings in North America.  This is where you can find out if Bigfoot has been stomping through your neighborhood or favorite campground!  Go ahead and check out Wisconsin or the United States here.

Check out one of our new friends, Tom Yamarone, with his Songs for a Bigfoot World website that we just helped set up.  Tom's written some pretty clever Sasquatch related campfire folk songs.  Recently he played at the 2005 Sasquatch Research Convention in Bellingham Washington.  Check out the song clips at his CD page for a musical taste of Bigfoot.  He's soon to be a Cult Classic!

Here's the original web post that declared the beginning of Packer Palace back in November 1995 when Patty our loveable Sasquatch had a late-season tryout at Linebacker for the Packers.

BIGFOOT IN CAMP! "I turned in time to see it throw the blocking sled 40 feet!" Packer Training Camp, WI - Veteran analysts agree that they've never even heard of such a thing. But that's not stopping the forward-thinking Pack in their quest for new talent! Non-stop reporter Beer Kid infiltrated the secret "tryout" and captured a remarkable photo of the event. Beer Kid offered no apologies for the poor quality, stating "Hell, between the smell and flying epuipment, I'm surprise I got a shot off at all!" The extra-species event lasted only 15 minutes before the (apparently female!) sasquatch let out a scream, tossed a blocking sled, and charged off into the forest. Packer Fans with information regarding this sighting are urged to contact beerkid@packerpalace.com.
