First time I've ever seen the Curry bar described as upscale.

Well apparently nobody else is going to say it, so

lidmo

Now that is good. Funny thing, I found a part of a lid on the sidewalk the other day. They come in plastic pill containers these days. It did not smell like avgas, however. I thought I was onto a real find.

yeah, I just wish there was "mo" in my "lid"

four fingers would be nice, but three will do in the valley

Skidmo

At least I can tell by your timing that you lost out: Not all of the bales were soaked. So that tells me you never got past the first page. The stash that I received had none of the fuel. At other times in the valley I, through others smoked it and sure as soon as you lit it would could use as a fire starter.

Anyway had some slides I was going through the other day and someone picked you out. At the garage, Can’t think of the cool black guy’s name [think he was the manager or head of something that gave orders] with a couple of others that I knew and some said that was you or at the time was/were in the background.

Amazing how the years go by and how we look now. I think you brought it up about you would not recognize anyone today
.
Sure looks you have changed a lot.



By the way I was referring to smoking not smelling your secret stash.

Yes, good old Benny. You would also have know Marcus as well.

But you are getting off the subject. Focus. sTop looking for your reflection.

Holy shit!! I saw this thread pop to the front page and I thought another plane went down.

Does anyone have good numbers on the actual THC content of the avgas grass?

Did that guy who murdered his family smoke any of the plane crash weed?

(Ric get on it. I bet you hadn't even thought to ask these questions. Like I've said before, an author's work is never done). The readers? Likewise.

I hate to keep harping on this shit!, but apparently those pilots never heard of Rejex. They might have been with us today.

REJEX WAS NAMED FOR ITS ABILITY TO "REJECT" UV, BUG SPLATS, BIRD POOP, JET EXHAUST AND OTHER COMMON CONTAMINANTS. READ THE CHILLING ACCOUNT OF HOW ONE PILOT CREDITS REJEX FOR REPELLING SOMETHING FAR MORE SERIOUS: ICE!

What a coincidence, I just today got my freedom of information request fulfilled and I now have the original, uneditied tapes from the airplane's black box. Eat your heart out Ric.

This is what they were listening to when the plane actually hit the lack of skids and plunged into the lake. Mindblowing.

Wow, I am amazed this thread continues. What really amazes me is that someone would impersonate me. Sldmo or whoever you are, why do you claim to be me? I am the chainsaw and Im very curious why you would claim to be me? Everyone called me a chump for attacking Lickys book back in 2005. Has it become in vogue to criticize him now or are you writing typos? I thought Licky was a federal marshal or FAA investigator. And I didnt want to see our sport trashed in the media since I make a living teaching climbing to kids. People hated me for my troll so why would you want to be me? Perplexed...

I am the chainsaw. Licky uncovered my real identity by looking at my personal info which was visible to all to see, unbeknownst to me. I started using the handle chainsaw back in 1990 when I founded Aardvark Tree Service. The supertaco cheering section hated on me like no other. I just didnt want anybody bringing our sport down that road because I make a living teaching kids climbing and coaching at comps. After twelve nationals I have been run off by as#@&%es. My posts on this thread were used as ammunition by detractors who ran me out of the program I ran for nearly a decade. Why is sldmo, or sidmo or skidlow or whoever impersonating me? If you want to assume someone elses identity, you might want to pick somebody more popular. Most of my posts were removed by Cmac at my request. But some rants persist... Has it become popular to criticize Licky? Or perhaps avgas contains residual crack. Who knows what sldmo been smokin.

too funny. I was around here when you first showed up. You came in talking sh#t. Like you were the emperor of climbing and anyone who disagreed with you was dog sh#t. You got as good as you gave. Man up and admit you dished it pretty good.

First post here and it might as well be in this thread.

I've spent the last three days going through it all. No, I had nothing better to do and work was slow Friday.

 This is an incredibly fascinating story.

 Licky, this can be an amazing book. Some previews, a paragraph, ANYTHING that actually shows progress would be great. I sincerely hope you publish eventually, but if you don't, well, there's nothing anyone can do about it, now can they?

 The stories here from the people that lived it are incredible and were worth sorting through all the garbage to read.

 This thread was much easier to read once I realized that simply skipping over certain posts was the best way to get through it. There's a lot of crap here, but the gems every few (or more) pages are worth it.

 The level of trolling in this thread from certain parties is likely unrivaled in the history of the Internet (or at least since Al Gore invented it). If I were teaching a masterclass in how to be an effective troll, this thread has many textbook examples.

You're right. It is an incredible story. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like one that will ever be published. At least not by Licky. This thread is approaching the 10 year mark, with no publication date in sight.

The stories are all here. Are the individuals who posted them copyright protected?

I may be out of line (and if so, I apologize in advance), but it seems like a motivated individual could take what's been posted here, do a little backup research and knock out a kickass story in about six months.

It's ridiculous that this project is still in the "research stage".
