See below for more on Foote. It’s already come up here in terms of the Mississippi location. LINK Foote also resonates with the name Bigfoot, as in “bigfooted” Actually there’s an earlier mention of Foote, MS here, and in that particular post a Foot in White Co, TN is discussed.

Wild [Billy J. Thornberry]:

Well, you know I’m a clone of course, in that I am an actor playing [cloned] roles. Many of my wild, wild friends, hehe, worried that I was actually killed by Hater the Cow during the production. But of course that was a stunt double… er, stunt dummy I should say there.

So Reynolds County has its own Clones, which could be the same as the one in Iron County just north of it? Who can tell sometimes with clones.

Boss Man Hanks showed up in my forest (Rubi) just after I finished this post. No lie. He was riding a horse apparently, and is hidden in the photo by the interface. He’s very old! (2003)

I was there attempting to figure out if I wanted to sell a 4096 parcel next to the forest. An avatar offered me $5000 lindens for it today (*not* Boss Man Hanks). What does his appearance mean — one way or the other? He decided not to enter my land (green) and rode north instead, following the east border of the forest. He stayed in the woods.

Bigfoot Thoughts

Then of course there are the Mossmen…

3031946-mossman0_full

… and Mmmmmmm’s, the original toy avatars I suppose you could call them. Both first appeared in the Jonesborough Toy Happening of 2008, the base event for the whole toy avatar phenomenon.

—–

Hucka D.:

The Mmmmmmm’s came from Mythos, specifically Edwardston. You’ve figured that out, haven’t you?

bb:

Maybe. So it’s backwards from what Grassy wanted to do: fly the First Goodmobile (Firstmobile) to Edwardston and Mythos. The [Firstmobile] actually *comes* from Edwardston. Makes sense.

Hucka D.:

Sense it makes. They are the last living toy avatars in Mythos, after everyone else is gone, let’s say. But maybe they really come from Whitehead Crossing and its own Edwardston and Green Turtle and such. It remains a maze[ of meaning].

bb:

I haven’t figured out exactly what Whitehead Crossing is. I’ve been so focused on Blue Mountain and Bigfoot and Rediscovery this summer and, so far, fall.

rgb_illumination

Hucka D.:

It will all even out.

—–

So Hucka D. had to buzz off to unknown destinations. Mentioned something about Burger King at Point-0, actually. Back to explaining Mossmen. So the purchasing of the first mossman, or the only mossman I still have, follows the pattern of other toy avatars such as Billy J. Thornberry (Billy Bob or B. Thornberry now?), because it cost me a dollar or less. The purchase took place about 25 years back at a Big Lots in this case, and I recall there was a whole wall of mossmen for sale. Shame I didn’t buy more at the time. Thus the source of the expression “there’s a big lot of ’em” sometimes spoken in my blogs concerning the creatures.

claycounty01

Hucka D. is morse coding me from Burger King now. We have more information on the actor who’s slowly but surely becoming as much a star as mmmmmm Grassy Noll and mossman Gene Fade before him. Toy avatar thespian Billy *Bob* Thornberry hails from Henrietta, Texas, with a brother or father named Charlie who runs — hold on — a company called Zigzag, which is a, um, buyer of peanuts? No: pumpkins. Pumpkins or peanuts — maybe pumpkin seeds. Hucka D. remains unsure.*

5-truly-last-minute-halloween-costumes.w654

And a brother or son named Dean who sometimes dresses up as Jolly old St. Nick on Labor Day and as a, er, turkey — *not* a pumpkin, Hucka D. is reinforcing — on Halloween. Interesting.

dec20bean4

Located further away are cousins Joy, Shannon, and Jimbob, with the latter some kind of softball oddball twin to Billy Bob and who once played 4th base for the Montreal Penguins womens’ oddball softball team. I think that means he was the catcher.

Then there was mother/sister/daughter Henrietta whose story will have to wait. End transmission.

Jimbob caught pretending to be second cousin Dean robbing the Thornberry’s house on Labor Day.

* In checking the region of Charlie, Texas, there is a large *pecan* farm (and Wicked Andy’s Insane Acres Haunted House!). Maybe that’s what Hucka D. was trying to interpret.

Bigfoot Reference 01: Real Brian Head name origin

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/625000/Brian-Head-has-it-all-sans-crowds.html?pg=all

Dear Editor;

I think I understand what’s keeping people away. It’s the name. Brian HEAD? Who wants to visit the Head? Not me – unless I have to.

There are a lot of theories about the origin of the name, but that’s all they are. One theory has it that one of the rock formations is shaped like a head, but no one seems to know where the rock is. Cesar Munoz, the resident historian and lodge bellman – he came from L.A. 17 years ago to be a ski bum and just never got around to leaving – doesn’t buy that theory. Like others, he says the resort might have been named after Williams Jennings Bryan, a famous politician who made a career out of finishing second in presidential elections. Eventually, the y was changed to an i. Or, Munoz says Head could be a geological term, such as point or cape. Another theory: A member of John Wesley Powell’s expedition was named Bryan.

Whatever. I say change the name. How about Cedar Breaks Resort? By the way, what’s a Break?

Bigfoot Contemplations 02

regression01

“There’s the main part of Bigfoot, at the head of the swamp and the water inlet. Then there’s a secondary part across the swamp’s inlet. I originally saw that as the place of the main toy happening, Hucka D. But now I think it will be around the spool table.

239ababc141712d9911c13c6fa06bf7984

“All the washers, bolts and nuts on it come from the football stadium stands. Then the smooth white rocks [on the spool table] were found on the track surrounding the football field. I think I just need to take more pictures of Bigfoot. Hold on…

“Then there’s the head of the iron golf club, to match the iron club already present in Bigfoot when I discovered it about a month and a half ago. 2 irons. Abundance of iron. Middle Game (ironing).

IMG_0209smaller

“I think all those sports balls are important, Hucka D.

“What else do I have so far? An old fire extinguisher, with basin and nozzle separated. 2 long pieces of fence wire, which I took to the, let’s see, the Green Road and stretched them out. Perhaps I could put washers on them, and nuts. Then I have several other chairs that are just the metal base. Then an old stadium bleacher bench. What I’ll get tomorrow: all that stuff at the baseball field I had to leave on Saturday. More of those tall metal thingies from the stadium.

Bigfoot originally named Irontown or Ironton or just Iron (or Irons?) because of the, ahem, iron. Taum and Mina Sauk were the first settlers, arriving in 1994. Taum was always complaining that Mina was constantly running her mouth, where artsy ideas cascaded out of her Brian Head brain.

Mina_Sauk_Falls

IMG_0211smallest

Truth was, Mina might have been in love with Brian Head; always thought Taum too tall for his breeches (but Taum was Brian Head?). The second family to move into the area was named Johnson, who were shut-ins.

Missouri_-_Taum_Sauk-J_Shutins_area_shaded_relief

The Taum Sauks (conscious) and the Johnsons (unconscious) divided Iron (or Irons) evenly down the middle, as Jesuschrist “Red Line” Superstar’s black family arrived in town. The town was renamed Middle Game after an adjustment period. In 1998 Middle Game became Bigfoot following the completion of an extensive survey of Bigfeet Swamp, and to cover up, well, the middle. The Center.

mo-iron-county-1904-mapb

The Taum Sauks and the Johnsons agreed to purge The Center out of the town’s  Holey (Play)book, making it at least partially unholey and leaving only wood shots and putting greens. They did this to withhold information from the masses about a black man currently attending Middle Game High School we’ve already mentioned, who later became Bigfoot’s first sheriff. But the masses were also The Johnsons?

The mysterious Head of Brian or Brian Head is nearby, where a playwright (Julius Cesar) wrote plays exclusively for Kirk Douglas, who also lived in the area as crazed method actor/painter Vincente “Red Line” Manilla, who must have been the same as JCSS, or perhaps took his identity. Little Liza Manilla might have been a childhood friend, whom he shared vanilla ice cream with at times on the condition that they didn’t talk about Judy. Boss Queue Brick could have been lurking as well, kicking around small white stones with round dented heel.

12 Lb Mound

I’ve found what I think is the exact shot from 12 Oz Mouse that is the *source of the mound*. It’s right before Mouse’s head gets pummeled by a meteor, when he’s laying on the pavement after falling down in a drunken daze. Mouse’s green body (on pavement) = the green mound (on pavement). I’ll share the accompanying video clip again at the end as well.

Notes

I’m glad that Hucka D. is starting to attend meetings with Carrcassonnee. Or should I refer to him as Hucka Doobie now? hehe. We’ll see how long it lasts. Short attention span that man-insect has! But I get the gist. Carrcassonnee’s diner is symbol of Hand Lake, as the larger TILE Temple that she originally inhabited in the newest version of Collagesity is Drink Lake. We know now that the two, in real life, are directly north and south of each other — as the temple and diner were (as well) in fake or virtual life. That’s another link or resonance. Further, both Hand and Drink are drinking lakes, and have a water plant nearby that also have a direct north-south relationship. Directly. Hucka D. has stated that a Fringe event has happened in the center of Hand Lake in past/present/future, and *caused* The Finger. Interesting theory. Carrcassonnee seems to back it up but unsure still. The rock in the Collagesity diner is supposedly owned by Peter SoSo, who may be the same as Fringe’s Peter. Carrcassonnee might even double for Olivia, as we’ve talked about before. LINK

If there’s something to all this, Reiden Lake must figure into the mix, a place linking the two realities of Earth depicted in Fringe….

I’m getting hints that Hucka D. doesn’t want me to talk about that much yet. So let’s go here instead: the image of a lake as a hand that basically seals up the whole Falmouth collage series, acting as an Omega element…

collage42test14cffh

(The actual lake in the extended collage) is Tarn at Leaves near Stonetwaite. TaL is filled with algae, as I know Hand Lake is now when visiting midday this past weekend. Mr. Bean has become one with the lake or tarn; seems to be laying down on its shore and drinking from it or perhaps even drowning in it — becoming one with it either way. Same basic color. Then extending from *his* body is an upright map version of Lake Horton in Nauvoo, Illinois, a place famous for the death of Joseph Smith, prophet and founder of Mormonism. The lake contains a single island which is called Gilligan’s Island. And the lake is shaped like a hand of sorts.

Gilligan’s Island is another Omega Point.

Finger

Actually I’m not going to say much more except to point out that there are a number of phallic references connected to Finger, TN below.

Finger, Tennessee:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger,_Tennessee

History

According to tradition, the city received its name when the townspeople upon deciding a suitable name noticed a man’s passionate hand gestures.[4]

The Finger Diner was the original model for the Hard Rock Cafe chain.[5]
