waltappel 1 #2 December 13, 2005 Quotesooo ?? I say continue writing... That's great. You should compile them in a book... So we'd have books and Cartoons and films and everything... Wow, that's funny. I was thinking of making my next posting the last one for a while. I'm getting the impression that the honeymoon is over and the novelty has worn off. Not for me, but for the other folks in the Bonfire. If there is desire for me to keep posting, I will. If not, I will stop posting the stories and hope that the people who read the stories enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. I am by no means the only one who has stories to tell. I have thought for a very long time that everyone, and I do mean everyone, has something interesting to say. Over the years I have developed a bit of a talent for getting some interesting stuff out of people. I would love to see stories from other people. Everyone sees the world differently and you may well tell me a story that you think is boring and have me laughing until I'm in pain. That is because I look for the absurdity in the world. There is no shortage of it now and I don't think there ever will be. If you look for it, you can see that the world is an incredibly funny place. Enough rambling. I will abide by the vote and want to thank everyone for their kind words. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisamariewillbe 1 #3 December 13, 2005 Your stories are great, I say keep them coming as long as they are entertaining... you have a gift for writing with sarcasim that is not seen often...either the sarcasim of writers is blatent or to hidden or they try to hard...

NlghtJumper 0 #4 December 13, 2005 Dude! Your stories are awesome! When I think I have been thru a lot, I just read one of your stories, and it makes me realize, I have barely skimmed the surface of what I could have been thru! By all means, KEEP EM' COMING!

That way, it doesnt really matter if anyone does decide that its getting old (for them). If they dont like it, nobody is making them read the stories.

airtwardo 6 #7 December 13, 2005 I think he should continue! They're wonderfully written and interesting snippets of the inner workings of "Wally's World" But I have to wonder...for the longest time, we get the occasional one liner from this guy, then he supposedly starts this new job....and out pours this flood of literary masterpieces! Personally....I don't think he has a job at all...... I think he's packing a lunch and going to the park...just like that guy in 'Falling Down'!!!! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanduh 0 #12 December 13, 2005 I agree that Walt should continue. I love reading his stories and then hearing them from "460" in person and laughing hysterically again! Hey Walt, I showed up at 460's this past weekend wearing bright red pants...you know...like take the whoreish bright red lipstick - and bump it 1 shade up...hahaha!! Let's just say I'm glad I had a pair of jeans in my car to change into ...when I walked up he goes "Hey, wanna go scope out a building?" Just to let others know, Mr. Jimmy (Airtwardo) has posted some rather amusing stories in the history forum as well. Check them out if you have time, because he, as Walt, is an amazing writer! Copied from the forum..one of my fav's: "Not really a scary story but a memorable one for me.... I was living in San Diego, going to make my first BASE jump that night from atop a building to remain nameless in Los Angles. Rode my motorcycle up to Elsinore to see some friends and get some positive energy, midmorning I headed into L.A. I stopped for some refreshment at an establishment near LAX, you know, the kind of place that requires a lot of dollar bills... As fortune would have it...this happened to be the day that the Rodney King softball team was found "Not Guilty". To the sound of gunshots and the smell of burning automobiles, I ascertained that perhaps this was not the best place for a small town midwest white boy to be cruising the streets 1/2 toasted on a motorcycle... Back home to my beach front condo, watching the news that evening, I get the "Where the hell are ya!?!?" call. "It's a go man...all the cops are busy tonight!" ...On the road again.... I find myself on a roof looking out over what can only be described as Armageddon...sirens and red lights flashing, fires burning, gunshots ring out constantly in the distance. Since I was # 3 of 3 going, I had a few moments to stand alone on that tiny corner of concrete overlooking the chaos that is... "?The End Of The World?" The sights, the sounds, the smell...the thoughts going through my head at that moment are forever ingrained in my being. Stepping into the abyss... for one precious second, I had never felt so alive ! I was Chuck Heaston and this was Omega Man. Then it was...Oh Shit! Get in the game!! Head up, knees bent, get ready to throw........ Oh wow, look at that, -my accelerating reflection in the windows next door....... OH YEAH!!! THROWWWWWW!!! The plan was to open high...check canopy, left turn over the wires, middle of the near empty, dark street, flare and land as close to the awaiting 'getaway' van as possible. What happened was... Opening shock...reach for the zoo handles while glancing at my suddenly, remarkably beautiful 7 cell....BAM------ball o' dirt ! OUCH........Where'd that come from?! Oh, Yeah.....Planet. Sitting there on my soon to be bruised ass... Running quickly through my " Aw Shit" checklist : 5 times 5 equals 10... no 20... no...25 ...fuck it, I hate math, both eyes working, teeth intact, toes wiggle, fingers grip....balls still situated front and center, no unexpected solids or liquids in their vicinity... Oh yeah...BREATH! From the darkness behind me, I hear in sultry sexy southern belle drawl, "Are you OKAY? That was fantastic! You're incredible! Can ya do that again?!" (....words I often hear from women this time of night.) and then- "Ya want me to help ya?" (...ahhh, NOT words I EVER heard, -Honest!) Turning around I lock eyes with a 6 foot tall, cropped haired, too well muscled...' woman in comfortable shoes ' as we refer to ladies of her obvious sexual orientation where I come from...in an LA County Sheriffs Department uniform.... Aw Shit checklist #2 ; I wonder if a bailbonds man will take American Express?! As Ms. Dixie helps me gather my gear, she says- " Yer buddies are over yonder wait on ya, bring 'em back I wanna meet 'em." ...Oh...sure...okay...I'll be right back, I mumbled over my shoulder as I jogged to the van. "What took you...the cops will be here any time now" my 'buddies' chastised.... Nah, they're already here, I said...we gotta roll! After celebrating back at that 'Dollar Bill" place...green bottles on me! I was sitting on my Super Glide at a stoplight a couple blocks from an on ramp....405 south. I raised the visor on my helmet, looked into my eyes with the rearview... Pondering the reflection with satisfaction, a car pulled up along side me... Several young 'gentlemen from the neighborhood' were looking at me, though admiring my bike, they seemed unimpressed with it's paint job, I'm sure I heard something about the 'Wrong Color!'....I guess they were up early so they could go deer hunting, they were well enough armed. I looked to the driver, ( hopefully the 'alpha male' ) and gave a quick nod. I heard him say to his crew, "He awl rite...he cool." As the light changed and we both went on our way, ......I couldn't help but agree with him! One of the best days of my life!" There are several other awesome stories written very well, even some from Bill Booth. If you have time on your hands...check it out..I think I spent several hours reading through every page a couple months back. http://dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=270299;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25;guest=17457620 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally....I don't think he has a job at all...... I think he's packing a lunch and going to the park...just like that guy in 'Falling Down'!!!! Good try, but I'm more like the guy who exemplifies the stereotype know as "the loner". You see those guys on the news occasionally after they get arrested for doing something really bizarre. The loner lives in a seedy neighborhood in a rundown old motel, in a dirty room. On the walls are a mix of political statements and profanities written with spray paint. There are roaches scattering around the porno mags thrown in disarray over the old, cracked linoleum floor. There is only one light and it is hanging by a cracked wire from the ceiling--no lampshade--and it flickers each time the wall-mounted air-conditioner starts up. Not as pretty as a park bench, but at least it's ok when it's raining outside! Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

460 0 #25 December 16, 2005 No kidding man. i would love to write about the endless adventures, but i cannot unless i plan to never get a job or woman again. I loved Airtardo's posting about Armageddon. I once climbed a big tower in downtown Atlanta for my first tower jump, back in 1993. Freaknik was going on and there was no where to land so I had to cancel the jump. It was a literal version of the 9th level of hell, in downtown Atlanta. Everyone was having sex, literally, horizontally on the sidewalks. I had a middle eastern ground crew, and I told them to wave their jands a lot, speaking rapidly in aggressive arabic, if they got hassled by anybody. i don't think that strategy would work these days!
