Wow...endless possibilities with this group!       I'm confident we could fill a book or two with our combined shenanigans...

Let's see... I'll think of a subject... then if I can get a bunch of people who are interested in that subject to send me stories about it, I can just put them all together, edit it a bit to smooth out the rough edges, and I'll have a whole book I can take to a publisher... certainly with much less work than if I actually wrote it all myself!

damn Steve you are quite the cynic.

the book sounds like a cool idea.  all the stories would start out like this.......one time at the fj rally..........

everybody passes stories around anyway. I find it funny when I hear a story about something someone did and It turns out It was me or my friends from long ago.

[threejagsteve]

damn Steve you are quite the cynic.

Nah, just a realist who's spent almost 35 years in publishing...

[Mark Olson]

oh, not a cynic just jaded by the industry.

OMG this one time at FJ camp..... fill in the blank.... the latest that comes to mind is..... Whatchugot Troy?..... Whatchugot??..................... TRoy.... "I gotta plan"..... The rest is history...... and funny as hell...........

Needs more explosions.
Big explosions.
And wasps.
And Drums.
And one eyed redneck cops.

The damn pine cone was 5 feet long....

the book sounds like a cool idea.  all the stories would start out like this.......one time at the fj rally..........

At the risk of setting Steve off again;
The concept on the book is simple, put together an entertaining anthology. If we get enough stories about rallies, we would make a section for it.

[threejagsteve]

Aww, Eric,

You're doing this yourself; you're not just posting a link you found?

If it's really your project and you're "one of us," I apologize and stand corrected.

One too many editorial dept. brainstorming sessions and/or focus groups, I guess...

Cheers,
