‘Bigfoot’ body turns out to be a hoax

Yeah, not even a little surprised by this. Notice how I haven’t even mentioned this? Because it’s not news.
Why am I mentioning it now? Because there’s an awesome video of a frozen Bigfoot costume encased in a block of ice. And it’s sticking its tongue out at all the Bigfoot researchers.
Now that’s news. When even a costume is mocking you, maybe you should get out of the business.

Steve Kulls – of squatchdetective.com – observed the thawing and said that as the ice melted, the exposed head was found to be “unusually hollow in one small section”.
As the process continued the feet were exposed – and were found to be made of rubber.

He actually bought the block of ice from the two hoaxers. I wonder if he got his money back.

I think so. But there is the issue of taking the guy’s money and leaving town. Normally, that’s called fraud.
Sometimes it’s called bunco.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
