http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InRDF_0lfHk&feature=related I read and brand new tale and don’t know what to do…. No logic anymore I want a blinded view…… I see the evidence and still my resolve grows….. Just change some data points and find out where it goes…… Yes sir we are approaching the anniversary of the ‘Shady Acres’ teenage girl, line of sight radio intercept of the ground communications of Flight 305 and SeaTac. I sure learned a great deal from that tale and even more about human nature and how some will dismiss item after item in a drive to ignore common sense and physics to add to the myth and lore of this crime. I suppose some review may be in order. It was said that a girl was riding home on the school bus and heard reports about the skyjacking. Begin an aneurism inducing suspension of disbelief state of mind now. She lives at the Shady Acres airport with her family and runs into her father’s hangar and turns on the radio and listens to the communications of Flight 305, Tower, Ground and Center. Don’t even think about this part. Then she monitors the action as it plays out through dinner. The fact that she said this event lasted through dinner was all one person needed to claim that her story had a ring of truth and some more information should be obtained from her. Yeah, I know. Let’s see what a QWERTY keyboard and internet access can accomplish in five minutes versus someone with a pre plotted curve. Spoiler: The answer is nothing; you can’t win when someone already has the answer they want. First is the favorite subject of this thread geography and distance. Shady acres is between 2 inches and a million miles from SeaTac. I should ask and ask and ask until someone gives me the answer I like or: http://www.airport-data.com/airport/3B8/ At the bottom of this web page is ‘Radio Navigation Aids’ with the SEA/Seattle VORTAC listed as roughly 22.1 nautical miles from Shady Acres. This makes me happy because it has not interfered with my pre plotted curve. Now what could the internet possibly offer that would help me next? http://www.qsl.net/kd4sai/distance.html This looks very technical and was created by a radio amateur which are frequently called HAMs because they are not very healthy and originate on a pigs rump, but that’s enough about these friendless eunuchs. Let’s look at the data needed. Total height of antenna (first station) in feet for Flight 305. http://www.aerospaceweb.org/aircraft/jetliner/b727/ According to this site the total height of a 727 is 34 feet. I will use that number as it will result in the greatest distance theoretically possible. The next input is for the second station (Shady Acres) antenna height in feet. This is more difficult since this is a private airport with around 35 homes. Considering this is near an airport the FAA would not be too happy if a tower was erected near a runway so how about an assumption that the antenna is 50 feet or 2.5 times the height of the average single story roof line? Oh no, when I click on the calculate button the answer is 18 miles and that is not big enough to hear SeaTac. This does not give me a boner and must be incorrect. I think the antenna was probably 75 feet tall because I really, really, really want it to be. Oh nooooooooo, it still only goes to 20 miles. Wait, someone said that they saw a wicked tall antenna once and it was a ‘known fact’ that it was way high up there like 100 feet. Yesssssssss. In your face. Now it is 22 miles and though the FAA says 22.1, with shrinkage and conspiracies this should come out to 22 miles which matches my desires and is now true. Lemme skool you some more on this great LOS calculator. You can also get the answer in Km which is a system used by microphallus’ and cross check that it is 22.4 miles proving that the station is more than close enough. But the original distance was in some system called ‘Nautical Miles’ and there may be a difference here. http://www.boatsafe.com/tools/scale.htm Thank you, Polly Prissy Keyboard for making me do a 2 minute search for the answer I honestly seek because I’m so strong and smart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JchKa8Ox3Hs Now when I put in 22.1 Nautical Miles we find that equals 25.4 miles and umm …… ????? .... ???? ... but …. nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. As a form of preemptive analysis since the FAA mystery chart raised its ugly head again, I thought I would use this as an analogy of how far people on this thread are willing to go in order to ignore the most basic of calculations and sanity checks and avoid going down another rat hole. But one person still wanted to go to Shady Acres and do an ‘experiment’, isn’t that right georger?

So I just got back from looking at my ‘Portrait of Failure’ mounted above the bathroom sink and reached a few salient conclusions. That is the lack of alignment and confidence on this thread. This is not the same as some ‘Lord of the Flies’ environment with some Byzantine hierarchy which involves the sacrifice of virgins with multiple mantras being chanted from various camps. Information can be spoon fed to individuals with full attribution and pictures and documents and examples in reality based situations. Ultimately it is the ‘receiver’ who will declare one data set valid and another moot based upon it matching a pre plotted curve. I want to believe ‘X’ and ‘X’ has the following conditions, so I’m hunting for those conditions. What folly. It is surprising how frenetic activities are still viewed as superior to a few thoughtful moments crafting a process with cross checks and end points. You can read the contempt for people using just ‘keyboards’ to do research versus some field activity started without any criteria or measure or way to measure the results. That’s because the results already exist on that pre plotted curve therefore any variation or lack of observables is not even a consideration. Be informed that adult humans of breeding and voting age have gone into the woods searching for Bigfoot by playing recordings of Bigfoot ‘calls’. These same people have clearly not questioned the source of the Bigfoot ‘calls’ as a Bigfoot has never been captured therefore never been recorded. Yes they take themselves deadly seriously and have titles and ‘credentials’ based upon how many years they have been investigating. http://www.bfro.net/ I would say it has a sort of ‘douche bag’ feel to it except georger would jump to the conclusion that some damsel’s hygiene is being impugned while viewing himself as some sort of heroic preserver of her virtues. Then I would have to explain to georger that ‘douche bags’ have not existed since the long chain polymer process was perfected in the late 40’s and this device has become a synonym for punk. He would then go into hiding again and never acknowledge his boundless ability to display his donkey while fully believing he is Aquaman instead of a Depends customer. Now the intent of some DMA/FAA, cartographer is required because the existing data did not match that blasted pre plotted curve. If his or her intent don’t match the curve then their teachers, preachers and therapists will need to be interviewed. This will require more field work and therefore generate more credibility and status for the person involved. Certainly better than just using a keyboard. I recall asking about the volume of material processed at the Fazio Gravel Yard and was told if I would just make a simple phone call (passive aggressive) I would get the answer to where the Tena Bar money came from. Here we go again. The result of that ‘simple phone call’ to the Fazio’s would be exactly the same as it was when the first, second, third and whatever phone calls were made to those badgered brothers. People on this thread actually appear to think that three different phone calls to ask the same question are three times more believable than one. Holy cow. That’s excluding the oft repeated bragging rights of who talked to whom the latest, how many times and over what span of years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU Same as it ever was (1:43–2:15) …..

First about ‘the map’. It was revealed through some of the most painstaking deconstruction in the history of this thread that the formerly ‘Super Secret Double Naught FBI Gubberment’ map of utterly unknown origins was in fact a pedestrian FAA sectional chart used by private pilots (aka Bugsmashers). Recall how certain data was used in order to determine that particular document being a First Edition? Search “Fear and Loathing” on this forum to read the analysis on page 698 of this thread. Around 1971 the FAA finally got around to standardizing some things which were simply baffling and confounding to the growing traffic in the skies. Imagine having a Portland Airport, Vortac, Intersection, Approach, Departure and ADF? Now imagine monitoring the radios and hearing a cacophony of calls for something involving Portland. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVq4_HhBK8Y Not that much of a stretch. I remember watching this movie on base in a packed theater and thought there was going to be damage done to the building from the guttural laughing of several hundred crew dogs. Intersections were standardized to five (5) letters and typically sound like nothing else in the area. Same for the Victor airways which had previously ‘brain dead’ designations which were simply imponderable.

Congratulations georger, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH87jt41xyA&feature=related After a brief founding of several hours the ‘University of Hold My BEER And Watch This!’ has a graduating student in the form of a person unaware of the use of the word whore in relation to about 9,000 things having absolutely nothing to do with sex. The mere fact that he overlooked 8,998 other things in order to satisfy his perverse drive to constantly engage in some sort of sexual inference only adds to his overall stickyness resulting in a ‘cum laude’ distinction. We at the UHMBAWT fully expect that distinction will result in another misuse of a word upon which he will be awarded his Master’s. You can use the ‘Ctrl’ and ‘P’ key to print your diploma georger. These instructions are offered as the faculty at UHMBAWT fully realizes that for a person to be unaware of the colloquial use of the word ‘whore’ must have resided in the bottom of an abandoned well since the late 70’s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrwDFgEeFCE Good luck with the newly discovered use of this word! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOYus1BE7jk GO BEER HOLDERS! GO BEER HOLDERS! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!

Georger piously infers: “Maybe a bore but not a whore. Please amend. Very poor choice of words unless you know something the rest of us don’t?” Lemme hep ya der georger wit sum electroucution….. If I may be so bold as to suggest the use of the Merriam-Webster dictionary for a definition. I pray that this may be of a suitable source for such a refined electronic dais as this. Anyway…. Here it is: Whore (noun) 1: a woman who engages in sexual acts for money 2: a male who engages in sexual acts for money 3: a venal or unscrupulous person I would say that a person who claims to have observed a man jumping from the aft stairs of a 727 at 10,000 feet MSL, at night would certainly qualify as unscrupulous. I feel my choice of words was fine. What do you find so offensive about this? It’s not like you were thinking with your little head in the gutter was it? Geesh, that’s kinda weird and freaky.

While I read this weak and weary, Most the comments make me teary, For dignity loss I have no feary, As I may have years before. For it puts me in a stupor, Endless prose on DB Cooper, Hid himself inside the pooper, ‘Occupied’ said the locked door. Yet I keep on with my reading, Ever knowing where it’s leading, Every question just keeps feeding, Conclusions that were reached before. Even when a subjects plain, Avoided logic proves urbane, You’re on the outs when they’re insane, You know just what there is in store. Why then do these comments matter? All they do is make folks madder, Next to fail will be your bladder, Orange puddle on the floor. Make a list then make it longer, Tell yourself that makes it stronger, More points wrong just make it wronger, Don’t stop now just add some more. From the cosmos to this planet, A new theory strong as granite, That new witness name of Janet, Saw Cooper jumping? What a whore. Well that’s it, no more to write, About that long forgotten flight, Where someone jumped into the night, But they’ll keep adding to his lore. Quoth the Farflung – “Pour one more…”

Yep it’s a new dawn with thread participants still using the ‘University of Hold my Beer and Watch This’ phrase of ‘known facts’ with a sense of academic achievement. What exactly would an unknown fact be? There is some money being made at a website called ‘Engrish’ where our primary language is butchered to such a degree that the message is completely lost in the translation. I can almost understand this condition since these people speak Japanese, Chinese or Arabic as their primary language. What exactly is an American’s excuse? I thought I would harvest the rich bounty from this thread and create a new meme called ‘Amerrhea’ which is a corruption and contraction of American, err and diarrhea….. Amerrhea. Those oft used phrased which have slipped blissfully into the Yankee lexicon and exist as a sort of linguistic freak show for the rest of the world to ponder. Fragments like ‘Exact Change’, ‘Watch Your Head’ and ‘Stupid Idiot’ come to mind a part of the cornucopia of this mono linguistic babble. In association and parallel development with the ‘Candwich’ which is a sandwich in a can I have created another Amerrhea entry called the ‘Sodag’ which is a soda in a sandwich bag. Thus insuring that the good Earth remain in perfect balance. You’re welcome.

Dropped as if from the heavens, is a food for Cooper investigators. Try and imagine the greatest thing man has ever accomplished and be prepared to look down at polio vaccinations and moon walks like you do Motel 6 maids and shoe clerks (sure you don’t). Check for yourself because this has finally happened after 150 million dollars of R&D and years of testing. They have made the ‘Candwich’ and mere mortals can purchase one, umm… actually four on line at the popular price of $12 which includes shipping. This is proof that group think and the dynamic of many minds can conceive and achieve anything. Gosh I’m just giddy with the excitement over this product being released all over us. With open mouths and wallets we will reward this response to our busy lifestyle of driving 35 miles to work, then picking up kids at school (even though bus service exists), then taking them to soccer practice (even though no self respecting male above 12 will ever play this sport), then stopping at the dry cleaners before finishing at the drive thru pharmacy for a little something to get us through the next cycle of this living death repackaged as an exciting and dynamic existence. Much like the wife’s straining and bulging pants, staring at other women’s cleavage and public flatulence, the before mentioned lifestyle can remain invisible (see Top Secret of Life) through continued active denial or tacit indifference. Here is the executive summary of the Candwich. It is a PBJ, which is uber cool hipster speak for Peanut Butter Jelly in your choice of grape or strawberry in a soda can. Yeah, I know! I’ve got a throbbing one down there too. Being in the future is everything I imagined and so much more. Here are the technical details. Open the can via the pull top lid and set the lid aside. Then empty or shake the contents out on the table or other suitably flat surface. Open the bread bag and remove the pre split roll and set the wrapper aside near the lid. Next take the peanut butter packet and tear it open and squeeze the contents out onto the bread and set the empty packet with the lid and the bag. Now grab the plastic butter knife and remove it from the clear plastic wrapper and spread that peanut butter across the lower half of the bread. Remember to set the knife wrapper with the lid, packet and bread bag. Then open the grape or strawberry jelly packet and transfer the contents to the top of the peanut butter and place that packet on the other which is with the lid, bag and knife wrapper. Spread that gelatinous goodness across the peanut butter and place the plastic knife with the two packets, lid, wrapper and bread bag. Now all you have to do is close the sandwich and just that quickly and with hermetical cleanliness you can enjoy a meal fit for the millennium and beyond. Say hello to the next Microsoft and Apple combined in the company that makes the ‘Candwich’ as the smart money would be cashing in those college funds and moving the folks to hospice care in order to invest every possible dollar in this sure bet. You’re welcome. Some things are inevitable partners through logical association. Like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in a can and DB Cooper investigators investing in ‘Candwich’ stock. It is hard not to think of this thread and the ‘Candwich’ in the same synaptic process. http://eater.com/archives/2011/05/27/the-candwich-the-sandwich-in-a-can-now-for-sale.php Of course I’m excluded because I lead a fascinating life filled with adventure and excitement with a job that I love and find incredibly fulfilling, even though you won’t see me again after T minus zero at the 30 year point. Crap here comes the boss.

What’s the problem with BulldogPete? Real or imagined he got some people talking about Sheridan and that does nothing but move the Cooper case forward. So what if he’s an ALLEDGED ‘imposter’ what does that mean anyway? That he is not credible or accurate certainly is not a consideration to anyone. He was really nice in his post and he never said he was Sheridan, he just said he was called Pete most of his adult life and not Dan. He thought that Smith was FBI and Blevins quickly responded about how Bruce Smith was a poser journalist and the ‘Amazing Stories’ tale is a complete fraud. That is very nice of Blevins to say about Bruce to BulldogPete and should not draw any vitriol. So why not keep this dialog going and I’ll add ‘comments’ from BulldogPete which he has sent me privately because he respects my coolness and hunkyness. You bought the ticket, now take the ride. From BulldogPete, “Thanks for your interest in my fascinating life orange1, as an old lonely and incontinent geezer getting any sort of attention from a woman is nice. You seem very nice and kind. You could get a copy of my life’s story by sending a Postal Money Order to Box 1774356789835-C, Santa Rosa, CA for $87. Please leave the ‘pay to’ line blank as I have a person who cashes such things for me. I could finally get my wheelchair tire replaced and not disturb everyone rolling around on the bare rim at the shuffleboard courts. There may be a need for some additional funds in the form of customs taxes. Thanks for your kind interest in an old geezer on his last legs. You are very nice.” Next Comment: “Very nice to offer and meet me 377 and I look forward to making that jump. I may be old but I can still spread mustard and spank puppies just like the old days, don’t you worry. Think I would prefer the Byron place as the other name is a bit too much of an omen at my age. Don’t have a car or phone but would like to meet you any Saturday at the building. Just drive up any time and surprise me. I don’t get any visitors and don’t have anything else to do. Might show you a few tricks I learned using those Cloverdale rotors to scare whuffos and swoon split tails in a homemade wing suit. Of course that was many years ago when we made them out of wood. This was before I moved to Nepal and built a home. Of course this was many years ago and it was made out of mud. I assume your vehicle’s seats are spongeable vinyl?” That BulldogPete sure is interesting and he looks forward to the many more questions that people have. Please be nice and ask away. Let us know how your jump turns out 377, don’t keep this experience to yourself as that would be rude. That’s about 350 miles of driving from the Bay Area to Santa Rosa to Byron then return Santa Rosa and the Bay Area. I can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday than in some of the most relaxing driving conditions this side of Karachi.

RobertMBlevins nicely responds to Sluggo Monster: “Perhaps you two (delicately presume Bruce Smith and Sluggo Monster) should get together on the book that claims the hijacker got a s*x-change operation after the crime. That was a good one. I actually ordered that book from Amazon.” If I wasn’t so nice I would swear that looks like a “First Attempt to Taste Like Vanilla Ice Cream.” Because we know that Blevins stated that he does not own any books about DB Cooper and has only made one purchase on Amazon. Actually that may be two attempts at the flavor. Point of order: the thread has been soiled with yet another boorish word. Could we please be nice and instead of ‘s*x-change’ use the much more delicate and tasteful – “Water Closet Remodeling?”

Sluggo Monster accurately but meanly depicts: “Myths + myths + myths + (a little) fact = Bu@#&S^it” Sluggo Monster please, Haven’t you noticed there is a call to keep things nice on this thread? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JchKa8Ox3Hs Your response included the ‘Air Soiling’ digraph of BS. I’m already feeling an attack of the vapors…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWAwrMFtSvM Would you kindly replace the use of the phrase ‘BS’ (oh my) with the much nicer platitude of “First Attempt to Taste like Vanilla Ice Cream” for the sake of a civil dialog? This will give failed Vanilla Ice Cream makers innumerable chances to get things correct or simply exhaust all others. Otherwise you come across as coarse and unrefined. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWoQ_pZtXCY By joining us…. join us Sluggo Monster…. join us and be one with the thread……. be nice won’t you… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKw-xV_IN_I Join this democracy of three wolves and two lambs voting on what’s for dinner.

So pattern recognition worked? Nahhhhhh, this person says they are Sheridan and is being really nice so it would be unfair to pry or probe for proof or validation. You bought the ticket, now take the ride. But…… in spite of long standing traditions against the afore mentioned I think skyjack71 deserves recognition. For tuning into something very quickly and offering sources and examples even if there may be many. It certainly shifts the curve from the standard value of near zero. For setting this unique example I created the ‘One with a Clue’ award for skyjack71. You’re welcome. It sure would be easier (as well as pee my pants funny) if someone would simply register as ‘Dan Cooper’ and make a post claiming to be DB. I know, too weird and freaky. Snowmman would have had his BS-o-meter operating at an ‘eleven’ or at the very least enjoy a good laugh.

After reading the mean reviews which were not nice and therefore invalid, I offered some analysis on the review submitted by a person named Janet. I think it should be the yardstick by which all things nice should be measured since three people found her prose to be helpful. What about another nice review or perhaps one even nicer? Could there be such a divine missive? Well why not check for your own self (see Even Nicer). Nice how it is giving the highest of rating. This is one of the best things about the internet where consumers can exchange open and honest opinions about services and products. Gosh technology is great and free of undue influence or that Madison Avenue douchebaggery which we all detest. It is a little strange that the title is written in the third person for another reader. Perhaps the hubby did not speak English or was dictating from an iron lung, I hate to speculate too much. Really doesn’t mean a thing because the title is still very, very nice. A little more strange that it sounds more like copywriting rather than a review from a consumer. The dynamic duo…. umm… what’s up with that? Still can’t matter because being likened to Robin and Batman is really nice if not a little creepy. Curiouser is that the honest reviewer hyperlinked the book which was being reviewed back to the book again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcVe2k4GpKg&feature=related Who does that? My bat senses tell me this may have been copied and pasted from another source. Holy Bat Shill! Could this have been the case? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm4vDz7k2w4&feature=related Well I’ll be darned. http://gladyshobson.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/into-the-blast/ The same nice review except with an acknowledgement that the book is well edited by the ‘author’ Geoff Nelder. Why did she single out the author Geoff Nelder? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm4vDz7k2w4&feature=related Well apparently Hobson also has numerous titles available from Amazon. Wanna guess who has been giving her glowing reviews? I know it doesn’t matter because they are all nice and that is the ultimate shield to any scrutiny or vetting (Many Nicer Reviews). Still would be nice to read something that is free of abject manipulation or which resides on the less extreme margins of ethics. Yes I clearly live in a fantasy world that believes the DB Cooper crime will be solved honorably.

‘The Real McCoy’-Pages 14 and 58 mention the notes typed on ‘Federal Aviation Flight Plan Forms’. I have no idea what those could be other than the boilerplates Robert99 mentioned. These forms are in reference to McCoy’s hijacking and not Cooper’s. How did this 40 year old story manage evolve to this point? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRbM2f2InM0

I was reading a beautiful review of ‘Into the Blast’ which I felt represented an opus magnum of just what the 21st century is shaping up to become. Empty platitudes of multi syllabic non-diction that are really, really nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JchKa8Ox3Hs&feature=related Gosh I sure like Janet and her niceness (see attached). I think Blevins should invite her to this forum to share insights and spread the interest in solving DB Cooper. Don’t you think that would be a nice thing for Blevins to do 377? It sure would be nice to have a fresh voice that could speak without prejudice, vitriol or bias and be nice. The analysis shows just how neutral the review appears when made analogous to an un-emotive subject like a restaurant. A restaurant that serves ice cream, ice cream 377….. children’s ice cream. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB5Vvs2cdqY&feature=related It’s incredibly obvious isn’t it?

I can see now that the goal was never accuracy associated with validated research which is cross checked by a group with various skills but simply a publicity ploy to keep the DB Cooper name in the ‘spotlight’. I for one certainly had it wrong and 100% wrong at that. No wonder there is such titanic resistance to technical details like operating the aft stairs, seeing people at 10,000 feet MSL and dropping the gear to slow the plane. None if it mattered and never has. By Jo harping on the FBI not investigating properly and offering one conspiracy after another to this information gumbo, also keeps the Cooper name in the spotlight and should not be challenged. Bigfoot is certainly in good company along with the UFO spotters and the Kennedy (JFK and RFK) conspiracy buffs and should be referenced and associated with this thread as long as they can stir interest somewhere on the planet.

377 opined: “Blevins seems to attract vitriol and spite here in a quantity and intensity disproportional to whatever imagined or real transgressions he makes.” I guess I don’t have a scale to suggest. Any ideas 377? Accuracy and honesty? This is too complex for my tiny, warped noodle to figure out. It all seems so freaky and weird every time I try to find ANY source or reference because it is almost like someone may be just a little bit less than genuine.

Georger, Here is a little attribution and sourcing so rarely used on this thread.

There seems to be a familiar cadence to these questions and answers. Oh, different subject just the same structure, complete with deflection, minimization and obfuscation. He’s clearly trying to answer the questions but the interviewer keeps referencing his previous statement. I say foul. Each answer should be allowed to exist in a uniquely parsed box which should never be associated with another. Like claiming that ‘Eye Witnesses’ are unreliable on one hand while contacting a crewmember of Flt 305 (an eye witness) for information on the other; keep them separate and you will enjoy both, just like bacon and ice cream. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGBOjhorqxc&feature=related He said he NEVER had contact with women on the internet, she was the first one. It was recorded and documented and certified with witnesses who are unreliable regarding things I don’t like but are unimpeachable with things that make me happy. Just like Cooper theories. This next guy is obviously getting railroaded because he was married with four (4!!) kids scattered all across the country. So why would he be visiting a young boy if not to mentor and guide him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPUZYSZLrJA&NR=1 My research skills are being honed to a fine edge thanks to what I’ve gleaned from this thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGq6U5-_qSs Just look for the oft repeated patterns, you’ll see them too.

What must be the criteria to produce and broadcast a program these days? The cable industry has certainly added a venue for the slightest of production budgets to be viewed. Previously this was called ‘public access’ which was eclipsed by YouTube productions which have served a broader audience on a multitude of subjects with the benefit of asymmetric demand service. So what is the ‘Comcast Sports’ channel and the award winning ‘Adrenaline Hunter’ all about? http://www.csnnw.com/pages/landing?Adrenaline-Hunter-Location-Information=1&blockID=528737&feedID=9437 Excellent viewing to be sure and with a Bigfoot expedition (Episode 3) to the Olympic Peninsula which was the original site of the big guy’s discovery adds nothing but credibility. I’m feeling kind of adrenalinely just thinking about the guts required to hunt for Bigfoot. What will the next adrenaline adventure possibly be? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uFLyQ-frKU I hope that some medical professionals were called because there could have been some physical damage. I know laughing that hard makes me feel faint and somewhat anemic; I hope Janice is OK. At least DB Cooper, Bigfoot and Roswell Aliens have been firmly reestablished as inextricably linked by yet another expert.

377, I’m at a bit of an intellectual loss as to just what the criteria is for something to be certified eco-friendly or ‘Green’. I think the primary requirement is to sneer and bark at those who are seen as not environmentally sensitive while driving their SUV 25 miles to recycle a plastic bag full of cans. Would that average person see feeding a bunch of caterpillars mulberry leaves in wire mesh boxes till they encase themselves in a cocoon to emerge as a beautiful…… wait a second. It never goes that far since the critters are gently removed from the boxes and boiled alive as the next step in the process of creating silk. Apparently the silk workers are allowed to eat the worms as part of a vocational benefit. I guess I’m somewhat conflicted on this particular point, but as long as the company only garnishes a reasonable amount from their paycheck I’m OK with it. At least cotton is allowed to enjoy a full and enriching life and upon the natural end of the plants life cycle is harvested for lint and the seeds are recycled into the good Earth. Wool is another natural fiber that has impressive heat retention properties and does not require the dispatch of the animal to harvest the material. However, I can safely say that a cotton plant never kicked me in the nuts while I was shearing it. But bamboo socks? I had to do a quick search to see if I was being bamboozled to discover such an item does exist. Do you have some wooden shoes to compliment such hosiery? I think ‘Green Points’ must be largely self-awarded. A neighbor feels she is extremely eco-friendly since she drives a Prius and I’m raping Mother Nature’s corpse by driving a vehicle with a V-8. Every work day she travels over 50 miles one way while saving the planet. My seven year old vehicle still has less than 10,000 miles. Math must not be a strong point for little green people.

Apparently there is some sort of Eco-friendly demand for clothing made from natural fibers. So I’m reading about this ‘Recycled Party Dress’ because it is no threat to my obvious masculinity and discover it’s made of silk. Not just any pedestrian silk but from parachute material from the 50’s and they…. look….. faaaab-uuu-lousssss. Well who knew that organic fabric could last over 50 years to be dyed and crafted into that perfect wardrobe item for an afternoon sipping mint juleps or attending a funky retro party? Hey watch out for the fondue, that may leave a color fast, stain that outlasts memories of your silky debut. Just station yourself near the vegetable buffet where there is little that could cause damage to that gown while the warm hues of the couscous platter highlights your hair while supplying a complimentary visual effect of being slimming.

I’m no expert on textiles or the decomposition rate of organic materials in an anaerobic environment; especially since they found that ‘Bog Man’ (over 2,000 years old) still wearing his clothes and the noose he was hanged with. That Amboy parachute did not appear to be pristine or laden with any sort of hardware. You can see this fabric is quite degraded (my estimate for purposes of exhibition only; please no wagering). http://www.komonews.com/news/17000841.html Check the video at (1:20-1:30) and (1:38-1:48). Then decide for yourself.

Just pause the video at (1:27) and you can see his ‘L’ note was issued by Kansas City, Missouri which should be a ‘J’. Truly a rookie counterfeiter mistake if I could spot such an error. http://www.minneapolisfed.org/community_education/teacher/pictures.cfm See bottom of page for a complete list of FRBs and their associated letter designations. The ‘Amazing Farflungini’ predicts that smokin99 has many notes with an ‘F’ in her possession. This is if she’s packing singles like the all seeing ‘Amazing Farflungini’.
