I think "Clarke's Clip" has already been informally established as the name for the footage (though if someone has a better idea, set up a poll and get members to rate it). I don't want to cast "Nelly" in concrete, since I hope there may be a better name lurking out there that someone will suggest within a month. But at least as a tentative title, I hope we can all get on the same page with it--or with something, anyway.

How about Cartbeforethehorse? Carty, for short.

Very appropriate, for now.

Moe.

Whaddaya think?
Nothin else, they make great tongue-twisters!

Just made a big mistake. I posted this...

Prediction, and not worth half a cent:

Another video is gonna come out within a month. A copycat.

Then, the name can be Shemp.

Then in late summer, another, one which will blow doors off. It won't be proof per se, but it will be the evidence that makes swallowing for the CSISLOP or whatever the hell their acronym is an awful painful task.

I know, wishful thinking.

And yes-- no I won't be the one. 20/20 hindsight notwithstanding, I had a peculiar feeling about 2005 when Art Bell had his 2004 year's end prediction show that BF would be stirring the pot in 2005. Could be from a BFRO expedition if this Clarke vid is not the one.

Saddle up, lock that battery and load that camcorder cassette. This Clarke video, be it good, bad, indifferent, is turning up the heat. Lotsa people out there seeing dollar, or euro, signs when they hear "Bigfoot". The Manitoba Cold Rush.

In my book, only, of course.

Don't want to muddy the thread, but after votes are cast and names suggested, I think some BF predictions offered would be at least very entertaining. We could keep future score and Bipto, I guess, could pay the person with the most accurate prediction a million dollars.

Of course, Bipto would have to sign on..................................................................

Or, more likely of course, DarkRabbit would be banned.

Thanks for tolerating this. However, I will not be held liable for medical bills incurred from muscle pulls caused by rolling eyes or bird flipping.

Easy one.



THE BOSS....or whatever it wants to be called.


Peace.

I like Manny, nice and easy to remember and the sound just roles of the tongue. .

How about Mannytub? Man-like creature standing in the water - tub? Sounds like Manitoba...I don't know, I'm going to bed.

I voted for "other". I always say, "you can call me anything you want... just don't call me late for supper."

I just hope it's not called "Bobbys' Blobsquatch"!!!!

Would that make it "Bobs' Blob" for short?

How about Humanretirementfund... Hufund for short....

I voted "Other"...

What about "CHERON" ?

hmm...

The FerryWatcher

Not likely.
Northern Manitoba is not a very hospitable place.
You are going to have to be very dedicated to want to be up in that area.
Muskeg, mosquitos, black flies and very little in the way of amenities.
Get lost - get dead.
Not the same as most of the areas that most of the people that post on this board go to.

Hmm...Apetagonopogo?

Other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care how it will be called as long as is not called a hoax

If...IF ! it turns out to be a significant piece of footage, then I would vote for "MANNY".....

If it turns out to be a significant piece of shat, then that's what I'll call it.....

How about Ralph!!!

You don't even have to see him to appreciate the meaning of that name!!

The problem I have with Manny is that it isn't site-specific enough. Residents of Norway House would probably tend to think of the Bigfoot taped near their town (on the Nelson River) as Their Guy, and would likely refer to it in a familiar (localized) fashion. Spreading the credit out over all of Manitoba would seem unnatural to them.

Hey! Why doesn't someone reading this who has contact with the folks in Norway House ask residents and/or the local council to poll themselves on what name they'd prefer, or at least whether they prefer Nelson, Nelly, or Manny. And ask Bobby Clarke too!

EDIT: "Cheron" is awfully tempting. Does anyone else like it?

"April Morn" could be a title applied to one of the images of it in the water, if there's a classic shot of it looking up startled at being discovered, a little similar to "September Morn".

How about Mr. Big!!!!

BluffCreek35

Tobi

These guys?

I'm surprised the obvious hasn't been mentioned.

SMELLY Nelly of course.

How about "The Invisible Manster"?

I feel uncomfortable naming him before seeing him.

Fritjof - Old Norse name meaning "thief of peace"

I think it should be named for whatever number of pages the "NEW VIDEO SHOT" thread reaches before anyone actually sees it.

Hoyt.

If he hits ya, it'll hoyt, Wilhelm.

DR

I would wait until we know a gender.

I would second that, with an adendum that we should also wait until we know its real.

I knew a girl named Hoyt.

She hoyt me bad.

that issue can be addressed quite easily (for anyone who remembers the old late 80's early 90's Saturday Night Live skits based on this character), how about Pat? not to be confused with Pattersons "Patty" of course. So we could have Pat and Patty? they'd make a cute couple, no?

No one ever names their pets "Bob". Why not now?

I agree with Tom....



Bob




or, as we've done with "Patty", it could be called....

Clark
(is it with an "e"? Clarke?) or "Clarkey"


What about Bob?

Supersquatch...."Clark" Kent....

I think he could be named Clark.

Just like the subject in the Patterson film is refered to as Patty.

I think "BIG BULL****" is more appropriate.

Anyone holding out for more MONEY from any willing media source is obviously full of it. And why hasn't even a single photo frame been shown publicly?

AKA Big Shits......

Zing!

QW: Cheron should be spelled Charon.


swPA: Similar objections have been raised & dealt with on the main thread on Nelly. Mainly, one of the posters drew the following scenario: Clarke shows the video to scores of neighbors. Eventually, one of them says, "You've got something valuable there. Don't give it away. Wait for the best offer. And be sure the buyer agrees not to cast nasty aspersions on you or it." Clarke says that makes sense and goes along with it.

I would. Wouldn't you? Or, if you wouldn't, wouldn't most of the people you know? Most people aren't terribly mercenary, but nowadays they are hip enough not to let themselves be played for a patsy by some sharp/smooth glad-hander from the media into "sharing" their little patch of paydirt with the world.

Also, I pointed out that the fact that he is licensing this footage for one-time use is a (mild) indicator of sincerity. If he knew he had something that would start to crumble once sophisticated film analysts and locomotion specialists, etc. put it under the microscope, he'd have tried to sell the film outright. He could thereby have probably received twice the amount, and then "taken the money and run."

I've also given (on that thread) a good reason for not releasing a still image yet: It would detract from the ratings Fox will receive for being able to state that its show will contain the first glimpse of the creature. Some percentage of the populace would have its curiosity satisfied by merely seeing a still picture--and they would not tune in to swell Fox's ratings during sweep week. (Which is when they are I think going to broadcast it.) And Clarke didn't need to publicly release an image to pique the interest of bidders--he only had to email it to them, confidentially. We don't know that that hadn't been done.

Check out the main thread--there's more there relating to the credibility or fishiness of Clarke's behavior.

Manny is better than Nelly. Actually anything is better than "Nelly", because then I picture a band-aid on his face. :doh:

I vote Manny.

Git outta my head!!!!!!!

Too hookey..... Sounds like he could be waiting for Lois Lane.

Manitoba....Sounds good.

I am stuck on band-aid, Cuz' band-aid stuck on me.....


No wait..! How bout' "Great Ape Lake Monster"...? Huh..? Huh...?


Oh... never mind....

"Manitoba Tobi"...?

Okay...Okay.... :willies:
