Farflung

You’re right RobertMBlevins, Paradise Point Park doesn’t matter. Now that is has been proven to be the ‘steaming pile’ that it was when you first introduced it to the world, and repeated it over and over; it doesn’t matter. It is, as it was, a giant pile of shit. Bernie being married as proof that he isn’t gay is another of your long held beliefs. You surely don’t want to know about what happened to a married coach, who had many children, at Penn State. Sometimes it’s good to live under a rock where one is protected from reality. I just don’t know how one reconciles screaming over and over how Bernie is a liar….LIAR, and how he was masterfully caught telling lies and untruths which are false and wrongly speakethed. Then in virtually the same breath, declare how Bernie admitted that Kenny could be Cooper as some sort of bizarre nail in Cooper’s coffin. Bernie is a liar, Bernie said Kenny could be Cooper; therefore, Kenny is NOT Cooper. Paradise Point doesn’t matter, never did. Bernie does not enjoy musicals nor does he possess a Crate & Barrel catalog. Bernie is a proven liar and says Kenny is Cooper. Got it this time. Oh and RobertMBlevins (Big Cheese/El Nunero Uno) was the FIRST (before anyone else) to get an in depth (and objecrtive) interview with Marla Cooper: http://abcnews.go.com/US/db-cooper-exclusive-niece-provide-key-evidence/story?id=14219052 Ignore the fact that this was four months earlier and all the videos from some bucket shop called ABC. Amateur wannabes who lurk around RobertMBlevins’ home, just hoping to get a whiff of the exhaust from the truck taking away his laundry. Yeah, he’s that good, just ask him. If you want a faster and longer response, don’t ask.

That’s the whole point here RobertMBlevins, you have started this entire quest with an answer in hand, then proceeded to force it into every opening and orifice you can find. Hey, Paradise Point Park is near the jump site and takes travel trailers; let’s use that location since we need something near Cooper’s search area, that’s near the Interstate and by a river where money can be thrown…… like ummmm….. $5,800. Pulllleeeeaaasssssssee give some of us credit for knowing BS early on. So now you have lost the ‘advantage’ of using Paradise Point which was near the jump zone, escape route and hydrology capable of delivering the money YOU said Kenny likely tossed. Now you have Bernie squatted in southern Wherethefawkiz Oakville, WA as a new and revised location, as if there aren’t any ramifications to your previous tale. Paradise Point Park- WRONG Airstream Trailer in Paradise Point- WRONG Money tossed in river at Paradise Point- WRONG Easy access to I-5, previously viewed as critical- WRONG Pre arranged meeting place- WRONG Location within easy view of Cooper during his jump- WRONG Easy for anyone from the PNW to find by simply waking west- WRONG Would draw less attention as a pair of campers in a state park- WRONG Paradise Point was only a few miles to Tina Bar explaining the money- WRONG See the problem with introducing Oakville as if it is a simple revision based upon new information? The information is NOT new, the story is. Nothing associated with this crime is new, everything is old and warped. You ignored the fact that Paradise Point was downstream for over a year for reasons I simply can’t comprehend. The same way you ponder whether or not Cooper made it to the ground. Cooper made it to the ground; the ambiguities have to do with geo-location and velocity. If the latter is much more than 40 or 50 feet per second, then the former will contain the solution. This is revisionist analysis through and through without the courtesy of any acknowledgement or explanation.

OK, so the only thing which swayed you from the Paradise Point ‘theory’ was the latest discovery of some new information with the same or inferior provenance. How did you discover that Bernie parked anything at Oakville? Someone said so? Where’s a scan of the documentation? The signed affidavit stating that Bernie was observed parked in Oakville around Thanksgiving 1971? Or is this another disjointed rambling crafted by someone so deep into dementia, that I could get them to admit they are Austria. That’s right, I’m talking about the German speaking state south of Munich, and a person certifying the fact they are that country. Why didn’t you push back on Porteous for NOT having any supporting documentation about Paradise Point Park? Why did you continue to support such a vapid theory after knowing that it was miles DOWNstream from Tina Bar making the money toss a farce? You were given multiple ‘hints’ to this fact and ignored them. Supporting crap then getting caught is not a revision or fluid situation. It is grabbing whatever is easiest and cheapest, and just like hitting on a woman with the same virtues, in any bar across the USA, you can count on the fact that you aren’t the first and people are laughing at you the whole time. It is far better to practice a tiny amount of discretion before publishing your conquests, or bragging about some fantasy gold mine because you managed to fool everyone else in the room. That way you won’t have to deflect the name of the loser who said that Captain Scott talked to Cooper. We still don’t know who told you that so they can be scorned, despised and humiliated as a coward who hides in the shadows of Diogenes’ mighty light.

How many times has Gray’s book been credited by RobertMBlevins as being an NYT ‘bestseller’ but there is no source to back this up? Three times, perhaps six? Is this something authors just say about each other which no longer has value or relevance? How many times does one have to ‘guess’ how Cooper jumped out of the aircraft when there are case studies where the same thing was done with McCoy, McNally, LaPoint and Heady? Which way were they facing? It was reported that McNally jumped at 263 knots and he had never seen a parachute. How about LaPoint and McCoy, they were both Army vets with jump training and they both hurt themselves. LaPoint was injured to the level of preferring capture and McCoy overpaying for a ride, thus drawing attention to himself rather than walking home. Why are these case studies ignored in favor of making up shit? Is it more fun to make shit up? Less work to be full of crap? Both? Paradise Point Park was suggested as a location by Porteous with RobertMBlevins saying it was a damn good theory and he agreed with it. Why the push back now? Why didn’t you start with a receipt from the park showing that Kenny and Bernie were there, not having buttseks? Why just make up something so utterly implausible where Kenny was throwing money in that river with it drifting UPstream to Tina Bar? Did anyone lift a finger to check which way the Columbia flowed? There are plenty of people claiming some sort of weird Pacific Northwest, birthright which endows native citizens with obscure knowledge which cannot be learned remotely. We just call them bullshitters where I’m from. How many times will Carolyn Tyner whose husband is a Boulder cop be mentioned? As it stands it is 22 separate occasions where she has been paraded with her husband’s incongruent occupation. Is that supposed to buttress her credibility since the spouse of a cop would never lie? Is that what is being implied twenty two times? I’m sure twenty three is just a moment away. Is this the ‘mantra’ technique of research combined with lashings of ‘take my word for it’ and ‘I know it because I lived it’ flotsam? Did any of the other hijackers bury their parachutes? If they did what did they use to dig with? Were WWII paratroopers trained to bury their parachutes? I would have thought the hundreds and hundreds of droning, snorting and coughing radial engines would have been a subtle indicator to the Germans that something wicked their way cometh. No wonder they lost the Big One. I learn so much here that has escaped all books, video and cave paintings throughout the world. Neat.

If only there was a way to convert ego and self importance into a form of energy or at least the fertilizer it resembles to grow crops. The global hunger crisis would be solved from the output of this thread alone. How many logic trains have been derailed or are jamming down a dirt road for a dive off the cliffs known as Oblivious and Wild Ass Assumption? How many painfully painful soliloquies can be excruciatingly hacked, with total faux authority, on the deployment speed of a jumper from the aft stairs of a 727? It never stops, it never stops; how such precise control and training is required by the cadre of happy go lucky, humble, fun to be around, gee the world wishes they could be you; group known as sport skydivers. Forget the tens of thousands of WWII veterans who managed to jump, sans training, from aircraft which would be defined as anything other than, straight and level, one G and a ‘Green’. How much empirical data does it take to realize that the average goober could, in fact, jump from a plane, with little or no experience? Would 100,000 examples be enough for the delicate blooms which apparently represent a paratrooper’s self confidence, to realize it’s not as big of a deal as you make it out to be? I personally have known half a dozen men who jumped out of vehicles which included the: F-4, F-15, B-17 and P-38. Interesting to note, the P-38 jock survived in spite of having the side of his cranium shot off exposing his brain. How do you think his freefall arch looked since he permanently lost the use of a leg and arm from the head trauma? PLF? Nope, I’m sure it was ugly but he survived and was a teacher at my high school. Ever heard of Martin McNally? Didn’t think so: http://bulk.resource.org/courts.gov/c/F2/485/485.F2d.398.73-1061.html Don’t you worry just read the first few paragraphs to get the flavor of McNally. He actually hijacked not one 727, but three, and managed to make off with the most cash at $502,000 (I realize how case studies are despised). My goodness he must be some sort of aviation mastermind with training so complex, that no one can imagine. Plus he jumped at the record setting speed of….. wait for it…. little bit longer….. beg me…. OK, it was 263 knots true, at 10,000 feet. Wow, that should make some pansy, GI Joe paratrooper’s testicles implode, creating a pair of little pink clouds of Pixie dust. Yep, McNally hijacked three planes with more than half a million and jumped more than eighty knots faster than Cooper. What a stud. But wait, there’s more. The aircrew sensed a pressure change (this was asked earlier) and radioed that the hijacker had bailed (cue sirens, that teletype noise and a wolf’s howl because I like it). So McNally with all his training and aviation expertise manages to land somewhere. He’s just fine except he lost his money, his gun and….. wait for it….. little longer….. his PANTS! He manages to land and releases the chute and starts walking. Now there’s the government worker who has twenty years experience in law enforcement, and he’s listening to the radio crackle with news of a hijacker reportedly parachuting in the vicinity of Peru, Indiana. What luck because that’s where he is patrolling. He represents the best expertise the compulsory tax base can buy. So McNally is walking down the road with shit in his hair and a scratched face and no pants, when Sheriff Halfbrite pulls up and gives him a ride to the nearest motel. You bet, those decades of law enforcement experience meant something…… that he could retire in three more years. McNally phones his accomplice in Michigan and gets a ride home where his mission was a little bit of a failure, but far more successful than the many others who jumped. McNally’s money was eventually found (by farmers) along with the gun, chute and a pair of pants. Over one hundred police and FBI scoured the countryside for the elusive master thief, expert jumper, aviation ‘sky-god’ and weapons expert, because that gave them boners. But the identity of the mystery man was not known as he was simply too sly and well trained by the very government who made him a special ops, spy and bottle washer. Then the FBI through brilliant investigative techniques, spunk and average hearing noticed a ringing phone. They answered and listened to McNally’s accomplice rat him out. You bet it made headlines when the Bandit of Flight 821 was unmasked. He was exactly as law enforcement had imagined. This is if law enforcement imagined the hijacker was an unemployed, gas station attendant, who had never jumped or seen a parachute or 727 before; then he was a perfect fit. With this case study at the fingertips of any genuine researcher, one can establish a baseline of skills required to complete Cooper’s crime, modeled with reported or observed behaviors being used as guidance to craft a prototype profile of….. oh gawd…… I can’t go on….. that wouldn’t allow for the endless braggadocio and relevance checks to continue. Sorry, please keep up the passive aggressive syntax and subject manipulation which will lead to a pre-selected answer which simply requires a matching problem. Make Cooper a black ops, smoke jumping, pilot/purser who selects dummy chutes and incompatible backpacks as a perfidy to disguise his deep knowledge of airspeeds and door operation. But above all…….. make YOURSELF part of the story. Be sure to include your resume as often as possible because YOU are special and interesting, not the data. Forget any CEPs which are the result of modeling the flight with a fact based set of variables because that’s boring. Just declare Cooper an expert jumper who bailed 35….. no, make that 42.23875643 miles (looks more scientific) east of centerline V-23 and give him hairy arms. Gosh, now I feel bad taking all this space with McNally when it could have been used on something relevant. My bad.

JerryThomas demands after multiple refusals: “Last but not least farflung . Prove that you do not have anything in your background by posting your full name and ssn pluss your phone number like I have. Or Just leave DropZone. Falure to do so will prove that you have more to hide than All of us on drop Zone. Make no mistake . I do have all this info. I can post it. Still it is only fair that you post it instead of me. I posted mine willing , won't you. Its your battle not mine. Jerry” Yes this is the last thing JerryThomas. Now you want me to post my Social Security Number along with phone number and full name after I have refused at least three times. You know what? Why don’t you do like Jerry Thomas Jr. and just take it from me? I tried to escape your constant demands for personal information and told you I was not going to hand that information out to someone who could be a full fledged psycho. It turns out you are much, much more than that. Do just like Jerry Jr. did to that girl that did not want him to have her car, money and body and just do like he demonstrated from someone’s teachings and take what you want. You already said you have this information so I don’t understand why you keep asking for it. You win, take it by force and do with it as you please. It’s all the same in the Thomas clan.

JerryThomas said: “Hope you enjoyed making a fool out of your self.” Farflung’s response: Yes I did thank you so much for asking. I truly enjoy the more lighthearted activities which enhance the joy of living. It’s is fun to have a giggle and I do it as often as possible. How nice of you to notice! JerryThomas continues: “Stand by I will do the same for you.” Farflung says: That’s great JerryThomas; I hope you enjoy making a fool out of yourself too. I’m sure you will be much better as you are clearly an overachiever and will prove to be a superior fool. JerryThomas adds: “Jerry Jr is a person that has made mistake's” Farflung pontificates: I have made mistakes myself. I have brought home Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise, turned right when I needed to go left and passed the peas when asked to pass the carrots at dinner. Your view of a mistake may be that when you asked Jerry Jr. to pass the carrots he instead stalked then kidnapped a girl at knifepoint, then stole her car and got her PIN to withdraw money from her bank, then drove to a remote location to commit rape, on to getting her car stuck when she escaped in total mortal fear of being knifed to death. I guess we simply have differing definitions of what comprises a ‘mistake’. JerryThomas continues: “My question is what did you expect to gain by you exploritation of his crimes.” Farflung answers: Well this is the end result of your repeated demands for my personal information which I have refused on multiple occasions. I even went so far as to ask you for a quote or Post Number of my offending statement which you did not provide again. I have no idea who you are and have even less interest. You continued to press the matter and I did a Google search which produced your name with an association with the crime of identity theft and a whole bunch of other crimes. This public news source was an exemplar of just what ‘type’ of people constantly demand personal information and why it is dangerous and foolish to toss it around. Jerry Jr. was clearly willing to kill a little girl for a few hundred dollars so he could binge on narcotics for a few more days. You were well aware of this and sent him to that town for reasons unknown. JerryThomas injects: “The chilld lived with his mother untill he was 18 years old. Then he was on his own.” Farflung says: As is the case for most children in the US. They are legal adults at 18 and have been presumably habilitated with the skills and talents to interact kindly with society by their parent(s) in years previous. JerryThomas asks: “Why don't you post the acomplishments of my other three kids.” Farflung responds: Because they did not appear in the search for “Jerry Thomas identity theft”. Perhaps they are not criminals or their crimes do not include identity theft. I posted the process used and the rationale earlier and find it odd that you can’t understand the cause relationship here. You wanted private information and I did not want to give it to you for reasons which have a threshold, orders of magnitude below your published nefarious activities and those with whom you associate. JerryThomas continues: “They all make more than you do and are very prominent members of society. And still you can not post there accompishments.” Farflung responds: I have no idea if they make more or less money as there is no data point to compare, but apparently you have information on my income so I will take your good word for it. I will add that I have no idea why that would matter to you, but money is an idol it appears. I have no idea what your definition of prominence would be considering your other associations. I have no desire to post their accomplishments and have no desire to know about them so they can continue to be wealthy, prominent citizens who don’t engage in identity theft and don’t ask for my SSN or phone number. Is this really that hard to understand? You want private information as a display of credibility and virtue, yet you have a background that indicates anything but.

JerryThomas oddly remarks with inverse bombast: “I have to testify at the trial for my son that will put him in prison for life.” I would imagine that anyone you testify ‘for’ would go to prison for life. However the significant evidence in reverse order would likely be: the ATM photograph, the ejaculate DNA profile and the person you never mention in this saga, the teen age victim with her testimony and identification of her rapist and potential murderer. THAT is what will put this monster away forever. JerryThomas could stay home and the outcome would be the same. But take heart in knowing that at least half of that DNA matches you exactly. So you have that to brag about?

JerryThomas demanded: “farflung: Because of your post and research and willingness to post witnessese names and other info. I feel it is only proper to post your real name and address and phone number here on drop zone. with in the next few post. Jerry” Farflung partially quotes self: “Is there a reason you want my name and number? For what purpose would you use it? That’s the first step towards identity theft and you spend an inordinate amount of time demanding people’s personal information. How could I know you don’t have a history of identity theft?” So I did a search on “Jerry Thomas identity theft” and was a little more than stunned at what the first result produced. Needless to say, there is no value in releasing personal information unless you want it passed on to be used by people who may have very little to lose or have absolutely no respect for human life. They also have the same respect for the truth. Decide for yourself. I already have. http://www.columbiabasinherald.com/bbcc/article_cd28cf36-ba03-11e0-8dc9-001cc4c03286.html?mode=print “Thomas' most recent conviction was for identity theft in the second degree in Grant County” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45Rk-5eXXOw

I don’t like to talk about this sort of stuff or use it as a weapon, but this might just work. Marla, call me.

Wow mrshutter45, all I can do is echo and amplify what airtwardo AND Robert99 said. You’re more like a ‘one man Quantico’; truly nice work.

Just reading the oxymoron ‘government work’ brings a tear to my eye typically caused when I would get something caught in a zipper in a men’s room. If only they would stop and just collect their checks from home, then the buildings and real estate these people occupy could be put to better use. I’m not sure exactly what that would be but it does not matter as there is no choice which would prove to be worse. It amazes me how an organization can be so clueless as to apparently be unaware of opposing forces existing across the street, which also collect paychecks from the overproduction of those in the private sector. California (naturally) has banned the sale of 100 watt incandescent light bulbs this year claiming the device as inefficient, combined with the fact that electric power plant construction has been halted for decades due to environmental concerns and the immense construction costs. This action coincides with the installation of recharging stations for use with electric cars across the state as a way to promote the use of electric powered automobiles. Spastic, uncoordinated, jerky and sans any self awareness, these government agencies have joined in a tour de force display of just what happened to all those kids that rode the short bus every morning when they grew up. Yes those light bulbs in your home are too much of a drain on the power grid so won’t you consider using an electric car for your 35 mile average daily commute in California? These stories are proudly reported and available on the internet for those willing to read about such ‘better living delivered by government’ activities while having lost the will to live. I don’t know why there aren’t telethons or research groups working feverishly to cure something which makes the plague appear benign and could be so easily diagnosed. Would anyone brag or boast about working for either of the above organizations? One would surely select the subject of incest over claiming any such association with government employment, since practicing incest can maintain some level of dignity and honor. I’m proud to be in the private sector where corrections are rapid, responsive and nimble to customer demands and changes in the flow of information. At least it’s not like being some brain dead employee of an organization which defines misalignment, disinformation and poopy headness.

I’ve spent thousands and thousands of hours sitting with some ‘hangar queen’ which was ‘parts plus four hours’ 377. Meaning that it would be four hours to install the widget after the widget showed up and we got to hang around till the item was replaced (5-8 hours later) THEN we could begin our official work day. Add that to a 16 hour flight and it made the $875, biweekly paycheck all the more sweet. One thing to take home from a King Air that was AOG, is the knowledge that the DZ can afford to have a plane be AOG. So many things are easy to pencil whip or defer which turn into permanently deferred maintenance that it can get spooky on the ramp. Another dirty, filthy secret of the biz. Better to drive home all dress up and nowhere to fall, than to be carried by six in a drop dead gorgeous suit.

Good video on what people see just after a few seconds. That’s one of the many reasons I insist on a crosscheck and a secondary source with some pretty obvious requirements. Like a relative vouching for what another relative says or a person repeating a story rather than being an eye-witness. Both examples are used on this thread by the bush league. My favorite is using one technique in one situation then doing the exact opposite in another while appearing to be totally unaware of this process. Here’s an example: Kenny Christiansen was too short, fat and bald with the wrong eye color compared to witness descriptions and the wanted poster. Answer: well eye witness descriptions are extremely unreliable with Cooper ranging from 14 inches to a quarter mile in height. The descriptions are all over the place so they don’t mean anything. That certainly answers that and is intellectually pure. Kenny Christiansen’s tie clasp was identified by an eye witness, thirty seven years after seeing it once by a woman who had a Bible. Answer: well she is a solid eye witness because this supports my pre selected answer and I can add other things like how quickly she answered as an additional non sequitur. This certainly answers that incongruity and all you have to do is be an oblivious information whore with the cognitive abilities of a carrot. Because no one on this thread has noticed or at least pointed it out.

This is what I thought a forum thread would produce in an environment free of politics, ego and bias. This may just be trivia and not have a ‘damn thing to do with Cooper’ but what georger and mrshutter45 smoked out over the last few days was not done in the previous 40 years. I think that is impressive. If it was so easy then one of the other self proclaimed experts could have sounded off. Some fashion accessory with previous ties to secret Masonic-y organizations, religious groups or unique construction has been analyzed in an open source environment and linked with a likely group of manufacturers. One of which has ceased to exist in 1971 (of course). This may not point to who Cooper is, but it sure identifies what weak associations can be made from neckties, clasps, matches and cigarettes. In spite of the testimony of several individuals who are cock sure of the origin of the Cooper tie clasp. Puuullllllllleeeeeease. You have Bernie’s sister, who isn’t batshit crazy and barely knew Kenney in the month or two she had moved to the area before the crime that identified the clasp. She had a Bible in plain sight which oddly appears to have buttressed her statement while the dozens of milk bottles, filled with urine went unnoticed. Don’t forget McCoy’s mother in law AND his sister in law (two living witnesses beats Bernie’s sister) who stated with less hesitation than Dawn J (her real name), that the clasp was in fact, Richard McCoy’s. So it’s only fair to remove Dawn J’s (her real name) testimony as being thoroughly impeached on the grounds of unprejudiced assclownery. Plus the milk bottle thing. I personally had hoped that his odd little item would ultimately be traced to the Schmegegge Tie Accessory Company of Muleshoe, AR where production never went past the prototyping phase. When the company closed in 1971 a disenchanted employee, who looked like Cooper vanished taking the only box of tie clasps produced. His employment records are searched and it is discovered that he has been unaccounted for since 1971 but some fingerprints are found on his W4, which match those on file with the FBI. The case is ultimately solved and while quietly reflecting on my heroic discovery, a gentle knock is heard at my front door. I open it and recognize Tina with a fifth of bourbon, an impish smile and hear her say she wants to thank me personally for identifying Cooper. Well, I guess the odds of this happening are now somewhat lower. That’s just great. Now it appears that the tie clasp was not produced in the tens of thousands but may have been hundreds of thousands as the data (aka evidence) indicates. I could keep trying to manhandle the information georger and mrshutter45 discovered into fitting the Schmegegge scenario outlined or accept the data as true and of high quality. Then simply move on to the next item which would compel Tina to knock at my door. This exercise has also exposed the ludicrous nature of individual’s swearing they knew EXACTLY who owned the clasp in the FBI photo. It is desperate, absurd and ludicrous which will wick onto the credibility of those who continue to support such a claim. The very thought that hundreds of thousands of these clasps were produced and not one participant on this thread can recall seeing one, should be used to validate some claim of seeing ‘the clasp’ in a photo 40 years after the fact, as silly and delusional. My father wore a tie clip (yes clip) every day and owned exactly one. I could not recall the color or style even though I spent many years across the breakfast table seeing the thing. I guess I’m not too observant or….. very average and human in my observational skills. It would be one thing if the clasp had a skull and cross bones or the buxom chick sitting in profile logo which are often attached to trucker’s mud flaps but no such uniqueness was observed. Therefore I’m going to accept this information at face value and scour the Cooper landscape for another item which may deliver Tina to my home, so she can personally thank me for being so hunky…… two or even three times.

RobertMBlevins pedantically advises: “Hint: Leave off any without an alligator clip. Cooper's had an alligator clip.” Did Dawn J’s (her real name) identification include the fact that Kenny’s clasp had an alligator clip? Why such precision now? This won’t solve anything, just like the seat, parachute and direction the Columbia River flows.

I bow to your awesomeness mrshutter45. I bow proudly. You truly are the latest ‘whiz-kid’ of the thread. I wish that could be more of a compliment (sort of like world’s tallest midget here), but please keep doing that Voodoo, you do, so well. Ignore the jealous detractors, you done good.

Good job mrshutter45. No I would not have guessed Weiss and neither has anyone else to date. You get the gold star for today.

Here are some more Cooper-esque tie clasps with the addition of silver plate with jade or a lovely gem of abalone to compliment that tie. They are both on eBay and labeled as ‘modernist’ (whatever that is). Looks like the JC Penney exclusivity may be somewhat elusive. The shells (bodies) of the clasps could have been made by one company then plated by another to have the ‘gem’ added by a third on to receive a private or captive label before retail distribution.

BINGO!

Sure JerryThomas, I would be delighted to meet your request as soon as you quote, cut and past or otherwise cite my offending comment which apparently included someone’s name and phone number. Of course I try to look important…… that floats my boat and I admit this freely. This is why I avoid making vapid charges and spelling in such a way as to appear to be an imbecile. Otherwise I have no idea what it is you are referencing (nothing new here) which is understandable considering your use of the written word. Is there a reason you want my name and number? For what purpose would you use it? That’s the first step towards identity theft and you spend an inordinate amount of time demanding people’s personal information. How could I know you don’t have a history of identity theft? Studies indicate a person’s repeated and aggressive demands for personal information are a clear indicator of such a history. If I did the crime, I’ll do the time because I’m a man. If it turns out your are mistaken, you will fade back into where ever you came from without any acknowledgement. As you do.

Anyone want to bet this is going to happen in the near future? Georger found that Cooper tie clasp as part of a set, with matching cuff links and tie tack in a can proudly marked as Mother of Pearl and gold plated. Obviously the thing is stinkin cheap and examples will be on eBay. How long till someone magically discovers the cuff links and/or the tie tack (missing the CLASP! Where could it be?) in a dead suspect’s ‘secret box’ which is also filled with Raleigh coupons? A. Next week. B. This month. C. Before June. D. Ask RobertMBlevins.

So Dawn K (her real name) does not live with 16 cats and was able to identify the tie clasp in the FBI photo as Kenny’s. This in spite of the claim, that she barely knew him and had just moved to the area a few months before the crime. Even though Bernie had to be intermediary and guarantor for the loan (secured without buttseks) and delivered the money to Dawn K, yet she knew what tie clasp Kenny owned? Yeah, this is all plausible and reasonable. There are no leaps of logic nor a requirement for suspension of disbelief. Thirty plus years after a window of a couple months closed, where one could observe Kenny wearing the clasp, whom she barely knew is deserving of thread inclusion.

Here’s another 1930’s version with the same differing characteristics as before. This treasure can be yours for $8. http://www.goantiques.com/scripts/images,id,1585966.html# This is stacking up to be more common of a design than I had imagined. But then I tend to throw down more for a tie accessory than the price of a Big Mac and fries. I’ll assume there is no requirement to stamp gold plated stuff encrusted with Mother of Pearl since the box tends to be worth more than the item within.

Similar in architecture, but the manufacture date is claimed to be 1930’s (?), no ridges on the lever and there is no incused area near the bezel. So who knows? http://www.etsy.com/listing/76657408/1930s-vintage-tie-clip-mother-of-pearl Could this style have actually been produced from the 30’s with modifications? No wonder they don’t show up in any collector’s catalogs, they must be almost worthless.
