I sure hope some recorded $20 bills show up at the Ariel gathering. Wouldn't that be something?

While Jo is referring to Coast-to-Coast she says:
I did not know this was a competition. I thought it was an investigation into finding the identity of the person who hijacked flight 305 on the eve of Thanksgiving 40 years ago.
This makes a lot of sense....The one with the most stories......WINS.
Screw any actual evidence, such as fingerprints or DNA. I want to know...What is the prize? Is it monetary compensation? Fame and fortune?
andQuoteThe thing was they were advertising the show for Sunday night and promising NEW information on the ID of Cooper.
QuoteJust keeping an eye on the competition

Well, well, well….. good catch Vicki.
It’s a rare moment when actual intentions are exposed to the bright white light of righteousness. I was totally convinced that everyone was just seeking the truth and not using that statement as a foil (code for headless corpse) to cover some colossal wet dream about acquiring fame, fortune and hunkyness.
I found the immediate killing and attenuation of other suspects WHILE amplifying a favorite under the guise of ‘aww shucky darn, I’m the victim here and wish I could get on with life if not for my noble cause’ stuff to be genuine, intelligent and admirable. I hope it continues in an even more frenzied and near uncontrolled pace. Like misquoting the McCoy trial, having Captain Scott speak to Cooper, a suspect with a Forrest Gump-esque presence in every possible scenario, declaring DNA too degraded, fingerprints too mixed, Tina too unreliable, Airstreams too heterosexual, FBI too unresponsive, History Channel execs too irreproachable, scorned wives too honest, living witnesses too accurate, dead ones too bad, hairy arms too Sasquatch-y, Roswell Aliens too freaky and leave the thinking two them. Ugh!
Competition is best left between opposing teams with like skills, level playing fields and officiating. The best competition in commerce is by focusing on your customer base and delighting them with a product. I don’t think McDonalds is competing with Ruth’s Chris Steak House any more than Kenny could be competing with Duane, it is a silly concept.
Besides everyone already knows full well Shirley MacLaine is behind all this obfuscation since she is the only one with the resources to hire and train so many people to act like Norman Bates except weirder.

Thanks to RobertMBlevins’ well focused research, investigative skills and abilities to glean information from whence I can’t find any data; I must confess another weakness on my part.
I had NO idea that smokin99 was a BASE jumper and therefore have some latent Airstream owning tendencies in that I had pictured smokin99 as a genial, sweet, intelligent woman with a leather peak cap in her closet right next to a whip.
Now I kinda feel creepy since RobertMBLevins has exposed smokin99 as a BASE jumping many, man with hairy arms and no toupee. I think I need another shower; but the type with a fixed stare and curled in the fetal position for hours and hours.

Rather than deflect or insult others by claiming that they misunderstood me or simply deny in the face of overwhelming evidence I have decided to use a different approach; a mea culpa.
For the longest time I have crafted some sort of weird and freaky fantasy about smokin99 and it was admittedly sick. Probably due to the subdued approach in posting styles I assumed smokin99 to be a female. The constant lack of seeking credit for various research activities (the left handed tie clasp) only fueled my fantasy about some kitten with a whip behind a keyboard persona. Well that and the fact that she made references to a husband only reinforced my prurient vision to a more twisted level.
So now it’s time to come clean and admit that I had a much different picture in my mind as to smokin99 incarnate and have been thoroughly disabused of any such notion by RobertMBlevins and his usual insightful perspective, analysis and unavoidably damning conclusions.
I’m glad I found this out before smokin99 and I ‘may’ have somehow ended up together on a canoe trip in Georgia, a tent on a cattle drive in Wyoming or a hovel in rural Nebraska. I’ll admit this is was simply too close and on the precipice of a very slippery slope from which there is no return.

Actually there will be one at the symposium in Portland. It will be offered in a charity auction. It is one of the ones found at Tena Bar. Hope its a good specimen (some were pretty small pieces).

Rawhide - right next to the stiletto heels and handcuffs.

YOU feel creepy...Yeeek.
For the record....
I've slid into a base, let my 8th grade boyfriend get to first base (or was it 7th grade? --shhhh - don't tell my mama), plucked a bass, caught a bass (oops, never mind), visited a base, jumped a curb while visiting the base, touched base, applied a base coat, know the difference between an acid and a base, jumped a broom (not really, but it sounds cool), jumped rope, jumped off my car's battery, jumped a barbed wire fence while running from a old bull, made a jump shot, and routinely jump up and down when I get frustrated at folks that don't read posts.
I have, however, never jumped a base. The dropzone says it all: BASE jumping is a highly dangerous sport that can easily injure and kill participants. Think long and hard before making a BASE jump. We do not recommend BASE jumping to anybody. You, and you alone, are responsible for your safety.
So I'll defer that particular pleasure to someone else...like...hmmmm......maybe hangdiver.

Canoes, tents, cattle drives and hovels....Damn, are these all the choices I would have had? What about Key West, Wine Country, Hawaii, Big Sky......
Oh well... canoe trip in Georgia would be fun I guess - - as long as the natives don't think you're a dentist you should be fine.

She's on the preliminary list.
Glad to see Marla is doing OK, I was worried about the let down and the effect it might have on her.
Would it be out of line to ask for her autograph on a beat up waterlogged twenty?

I will bring my Dan Cooper comics. My Mom had a bunch in the shed.
(Disclaimer: the previous statement was a half-assed attempt at making a Dan Cooper Comic joke - Please do not take seriously)

Speaking of Cooper comics Vicki, I think Bruce needs to investigate that time portal on Shemya Island.

I dont like your phraseology above, Mr Blevins, and I dont like where it leads. Cant you just leave children out of your comparisons and imagery, when slapping down adults?
What do you have against red haired stepchildren that they get slapped down, in your world ? Their appearance?
