I've just sent sidmo an offer to meet for a cup of coffee. All he has to do is suggest when and where. I'll be there.

Yeah
Sidmo can be sharp as tack at times. He outed me.
I still live in my moms basement.
But I do climb the stairs out of there from time to time take a sh!t in the toilet upstairs.

Hey! Sidmo make sure you shack/pat down Licky to make sure he isn’t using or wearing an Israeli watch on his wrist; Liar, liar pants on fire and make sure you tell him the truth that you cleaned toilets for MCA.

I cleaned busses, toilets in the rear, but for YTS, not curry – teamster job, good wages and 5pm to 1 am shift – left every day open to climb til evening – I ain’t ashamed of that, dude – were you making up beds for Ma Curry? Oh well, at least you weren’t tray scrounging in the lodge caf . . . or were you?

Well, yeah, but that was just some stupid crap about something that happened in Russia or Poland or something. Sh#t like that, man you can churn it out dead drunk and half asleep. But this Airplane Crash In Yosemite book, that's not so simple, right? I mean when you're just making sh#t up about some stupid war in a place no one cares about, you can write anything. But if you've gotta track down serious information about what kind of belt buckle the mechanic who did the maintenance on that plane's starboard engine was wearing... Well that's not so easy. That's real research, not just making sh#t up.

Maybe Licky should hire a Ghost writer. In a manner of speaking.

Hey that's my line.
"Making sh!t up" That Hiker guy above for perfect example.
This book will make America smart again and Canadian Hikers
There will be no sh!t being made up.
Damn stupid Americans will finally learn.
"Quit making up sh!t"

Had I written about everything I'd researched by the end of 2005, I'd have
been dead wrong on pretty much every issue. But then maybe that's where I've
missed it. Maybe there is a huge market out there for just bogus junk.
Like the historical book, "It Happened In Yosemite National Park" by
Ray Jones and Joe Lubow, globe pequot press just last year. They claimed there
were jet engines strapped on the plane and that the climbers at the lake
were run off by two helicopter loads of US Customs agents that parachuted
into the lake. That book is not a novel, its fact. Right?
Makes me wonder how many of you read something and accept it because its in
print or because its posted on the internet. If you aren't willing to do
your own research, at least expect it of those that write.

Wow it's still here. Why not release the book in installments here on this thread like they used to do in magazines in the old days? You know, acknowledgements in March, table of contents in June, Chapter One is December of 20xx?
I don't know how many unique posters there are among the almost 1300 here but this audience is probably the largest the book would ever have.
