Apathy is a tough one to crack. Could just be plain laziness too... Regardless, to portray that you have nothing of interest is total BS and you know it. Just sayin'.

And we could wager bets as to who will finish their respective book first.
Werner or Licky?
And then, everyone could have a 'stab' at getting rich!
(We know it wouldn't be about the money in it for you, if you did it Werner).
It wouldn't be just about you, but about an 'Era in time like no other'.
Come on Werner!
We are just saying that we would love to see it from your perspective. And your humble, and highly valued opinion.

good laugh tripl7, werner vs. licky. like the geraldo build up to breaking into al capones lair. plenty of time for commercial breaks, edgy music and redundant summaries. licky scratching his chin over a fortune cookie, werner in his bunk, showing no strain whatsoever

OK, big, big secret about Werner...
He's actually sat back his entire life and watched the exploits of his (sort of evil) twin, "Warner"...
Looks exactly like him, too -- BUT, you'll notice you never see the two of them in the same place at the same time. Clever.
Merry will never tell.

and don't forget the "wernerism rating" on gear, too
maybe that is not right 4 a book?
ok, I withdraw the idea ;-)

It is a noble thing to live with a constant sense of one's place in the world, to not place one's self on a pedestal above others. This is reality and embracing it is right.
But transcending this humility is another lesson, learning to share more of one's self in order to communicate something deeper about all of us for the benefit of all of us. Everyone is grasping at this thread because they want to see into humanity through your penetrating eyes. It is a means to establishing a stronger connection between us all. Or I should say, a way of revealing that all-powerful connection that is always there but which we somehow lose the ability to recognize.
And of course we want to hear about cool helicopter stuff and stupid camp 4 pranks.

Yes, Werner, but you have a unique perspective that more often than not eludes the rest of us...
I'd righ tthe boook if I were you... Just write your thoughts, eventually you will have enough pages of your thoughts to combine into a book, that I'd at least review before buying a few copies...
Just a thought

Maybe at least a desktop calendar, with peel-away sheets for each day that have a witticism, an anecdote, or a diagram for a novel rescue system.

Skipt nailed it...
The title of the book - "Seriously Dude"
Now that's over, who should be cast for the leading role in the movie adaptation?

Since WVB won't write his own book, I vote for sodium pentathol and a very fast typewritist to capture what gushes forth . . . . .

Leave the poor guy alone, for cryin' out loud. Maybe he wants to avoid the "Cult of Personality".

Werner doesn't have to write a book, he is one- full of content if a little hard to read.

From Wes:
But seriously... you seem witty and well spoken and have seen a lot of sh#t. I'll proof read it for you... make sure you get the "then" and "than" all worked out.
Wes, you may want to start proofreading your own posts before offering your proofreading services to others. Proofread is one word.
(Just kidding: you busted my ass good on then/than one time.)
