  1. The control box for the aft stairs is outside the pressure vessel. Facing aft, it is located on the left side inside the tailcone. See attachments.
  2. Why is every theory so complex and littered with serial leaps of logic (hint: data mining)? The bills appeared to remain bundled thus meaning Cooper survived. I like this theory so I will use it exclusively because it is from an expert. The Amboy chute ID is worthless because the owner said silk and it is known to be nylon. So that expert is impeached thus proving Cooper survived. I really didn’t see that one coming down the pike. I’m taking the answer with the least amount of touch points, unless there is a chance that another theory would put me in direct contact with a surface of the sun, scorching hot nun. At least I’m pure in ethos if not thought. Cooper cannonballs into the Columbia and sinks to the bottom of that 40 degree Fahrenheit water and is snagged. This anaerobic environment preserves ‘stuff’ till a dredge heaves some artifacts on a beach which also happens to be a long time deposit site for dredge operations (!). Now there is a reason for the money to be in bundles, Cooper to remain unknown and this planting money on a private beach that happens to be a termination point for dredging operations to join the other random acts of investigation like Captain Scott talking to Cooper accidentally.
  3. This may appear a bit ‘circular’ but it can be verified with the supplied attribution. Reference - Page 707, ‘Interview with Robert Blevins, a report’. “As for the book’s statement that Captain Scott left the cockpit and sat next to Cooper to ascertain the reality of the bomb, Robert said that he got that from Porteous, who got it from Bill Rataczak in a taped phone conversation.” Well the source of Captain Scott chatting with Cooper is revealed after it was asked at least three times. I can see why the deflection or ignoring the query since Rataczak is quoted so extensively for other things which are needed for story construction. Here is a clear example of data mining with horrendous interview techniques and research protocol ultimately resulting in another pure piece of fiction. Here is the nefarious script which became an insta-orphan without a source or attribution: “Scott left the cockpit himself and headed to the rear of the plane to speak with Cooper. Several passengers turned their heads as he walked past. Scott pretended he was going to speak to a friend, so as not to alarm everyone. Taking a seat next to Cooper, he said quietly, “What’s this about a bomb?” Cooper let Scott glance into the briefcase for a split second. Scott got enough of a look to doubt the bomb was real, but he’d already been instructed to cooperate with the hijacker.” This could have happened since the ATC transcripts cryptically said: “No one from the cockpit ever left it until they reached Reno.” But what could that mean? Reference – Page 857 (150 pages later), ‘A Ticket, Tie Tack and Some Money (Tick Tack Dough) “Skipp Porteous caught Rataczak as he was going out the door for a trip to Mexico, but Bill spoke to him. Bill says neither he, Scotty, or H.E. Anderson went to the back of the cabin.” There you have it, Rataczak was interviewed with his real name and LIVE with a digital recorder and said that Captain Scott talked to Cooper before confirming that none of the cockpit crew went to the back of the cabin. Those LIVE witnesses are really producing the dividends when coupled with taped conversations and unbiased interview techniques.
  4. RobertMBlevins previously recaps: “To point out the obvious, going missing doesn't mean you went to Portland, Oregon on Thanksgiving weekend 1971 to hijack a plane. Tens of thousands of people go missing each year for any number or reasons. There has to be more here to consider this person a viable suspect.” Kenny wasn’t even missing during that time frame. He was out with his buddy Bernie having a gay old time celebrating Thanksgiving, probably by tossing salads and enjoying some stuffing. Bernie’s divorce appeal said he wasn’t ‘giving any’ to the wife for years and years (her testimony which Bernie did not rebut). This is testimony which is certified and sworn to be the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Where and how would one get all of Bernie’s sexual activities researched? That’s kinda weird and freaky, like that woman that “knew” Kenny had a toupee…. but never saw it. Good evidence though.
  5. Sooooo…. ummm…. yeah… how did RobertMBlevins put Kenny in Portland on Thanksgiving weekend (Thanksgiving has been on Thursday since 1941) before the hijacking (more time travel)? The hijacking was on Wednesday. With a collection of meandering, non sequiturs and repeating stale information which avoid the question, yet again. How have you put Kenny in Portland before the hijacking? How is this quality of your ‘Duane’ any different than all the other suspects offered thus far? I see none. Wasn’t it a LIVE witness that you gleaned the ‘known fact’ that the Dan Cooper comic was on the Shemya dayroom table in 1951? How’d that turn out? Didn’t your analysis prove that Cooper didn’t intend to jump at night? Wasn’t it a LIVE witness that told you how Captain Scott walked down the fuselage like he was looking for a friend and had a conversation with DB Cooper? Who was that LIVE witness? Didn’t Kenny throw the money in the river at Paradise Point State Park just a few pages back? Why the sudden change? I guess if anything is fluid in this ‘investigation’ it would be the river. Who said DB Cooper wore a toupee? How did the subject of a toupee even come up? Why would that come up? What a weird and freaky thing to talk about and how amazing the memories are on the last time the toupee was seen. Even though one LIE (oops, forgot the V) witness said she knew Kenny had a toupee but never saw it? Gosh this appears to be data mining instead of research. The eye witness descriptions are all over the place but Kenny is certified as having been a toupee wearing resident of the Seattle area with a rich, deep tan and appeared taller in the fuselage of an aircraft and didn't have hairy arms. Nothing reaching or desperate at all about this. Yep, since a person can’t be placed at Portland before the hijacking they should be taken off the list. Scratch Duane, Kenny, LD, Mel Wilson, Gossett, Dayton, Petersen and List from the list. Next contestant sign in please.
  6. RobertMBlevins porously recaps: “To point out the obvious, going missing doesn't mean you went to Portland, Oregon on Thanksgiving weekend 1971 to hijack a plane. Tens of thousands of people go missing each year for any number or reasons. There has to be more here to consider this person a viable suspect.” This is astonishing to say the least. The very person who without the burden of any proof what so ever, that has put Kenny in an Airstream trailer in Paradise Point State Park in a toupee and with a willing accomplice thinks Mel Wilson is merely a missing person. Nothing like demonstrating that razor sharp analysis of a situation while searching for the truth. I think there’s more than early onset of Alzheimer’s going on here. Mel Wilson isn’t just missing, he is wanted by the Federal government for counterfeiting more money than Cooper extorted. This isn’t some deadbeat dad here. Some guy in his early 40’s is facing enough hard time to guarantee his incarnation until he qualified for Social Security and bolts in September 1971. What exactly does one do next? Change identity and get out of town for starters. This probably means ditching the car, cleaning out the bank account, getting a new ID and grabbing a fistful of Greyhound or Trailways to somewhere else. This may relieve some of the detection pressures but he just became unemployed and his past was associated with larceny and not W2 wage earning. Now two or three months have passed and the cash reserves are terminally low. Not low wages but low on money with little on the horizon. I realize that everyone thinks vanishing is easy for some reason but I would be sweating like a serial killer giving an employer some Social Security number and waiting for something to be discovered. Like the number is from a person that is dead or a different gender. This on top of knowing that arrest for any small crime (shoplifting, picking pockets) will lead to another fingerprinting and probably a Hail Mary to Wisconsin and a Federal pound you in the ass prison. What has the least capital costs with the greatest return? A briefcase, four road flares and a note for $200,000 might just qualify. But where did this ghost of a person come from, there would be employers and family missing him and someone would know. Certainly a man escaping justice a few months before with no local ties and trying to be invisible wouldn’t qualify. The answer needs to be much more complex because they are ‘fluid’ solutions. Oh my, Paradise Point State Park is downstream from Tena Bar (as pointed out on three previous occasions) then the ‘Kenny tossed money in the water’ is now moot. Thanks to the magic of physics and taking a few seconds to read a map BEFORE making such a flaccid claim known. It is amazing what you can winnow out before trundling around the countryside and interviewing cheesecake salesmen from Shemya who are obsessed with flares. Now Wilson has devolved into just a missing person like the billions and billions who go missing everyday in Tallahassee. Now the hyperbole needs hyperbole in order to be made into another baseless sort of Cooper ‘known fact’. Simply…….. astonishing.
  7. Did you do an ‘ops check’ on your crickys Vicki? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g9WjcGdxuM The early bird may get the worm…….. But it is the second mouse, that gets the cheese.
  8. Mr Trouble never hangs around….. http://themountainnewswa.net/2011/08/18/db-cooper-report-interview-with-ayn-dietrich-seattle-fbi-spokesperson/ Anytime a URL won’t clicky or technology decides to act like HAL 9000 you know who to call… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pR17x04T8lU You’re welcome.
  9. Vicki observes and sparks some memories: “It was said to me recently that if something was said or pointed out on a previous page of this forum it didn't happen, was never asked, and/or it was forgotten.” “.........I have complete faith this, in addition to all previous posts, will be forgotten once the page turns to 1044.” There has been an evolution of sorts in the field of written communications. Remember those ‘Magic Slates’ which featured a sheet of opaque plastic which lay on a black rubber mat? It came with a plastic stylus and you could write and doodle then pull the sheet up and start over with a clean slate. The next entry was the ‘Etch A Sketch’ which raised the bar with a pair of control knobs and some sort of unidentified silvery powder which may have been a mild carcinogen. Heck this was the 60’s and what does not mutate you makes you stronger. Technology continued to march on with the addition of electricity in a product called the ‘Bizzy Buzz Buzz’. This was a battery operated pen with a spinning point that would serve as a training ground for tattoo artists while offering a glimpse into the penmanship one can expect with Parkinson’s disease. Unlike the Magic Slate and the Etch A Sketch the Bizzy Buzz Buzz could use virtually any surface as a media for writing or drawing. I know that I learned about consequences after using the Bizzy Buzz Buzz to enhance the living room wall. I can’t imagine how my father managed to cope through all this. The ‘Lite Brite’ would inspire future dot matrix printer programmers with a light cabinet where one could push colored plastic pegs through a piece of black paper while only slightly increasing the risk of starting a fire. As you can see all these forms of communicating have the ability to be reset or forgotten quickly and easily. Except for the Bizzy Buzz Buzz which required a gallon of Dutch Boy and several Tallboys to erase according to my father’s retelling every Thanksgiving for life. Yet murderers get paroled. So I feel the entire state of technology has gone full circle with the thread pages acting like lifting the sheet on the ‘Magic Slate’. For as much as technology has advanced the creatures behind it are still pretty much the same and…. I forgot what my point was now.
  10. There certainly has been a wealth of information on how Dan Cooper got his name and written with such authority. Although no one appeared to know the handles selected by the copy-cat Coopers, I’m sure it was modesty which drove the silence and not a lack of information (cough..yeah right..cough…cough). Here’s a list of players and their ‘nom de hi- jacques’ used during their skydiving dalliances. ????? - Dan Cooper (source: Wildly popular French language comic book) Charles LaPoint - John Shane (unknown anxiously awaiting resolution) Richard McCoy - James Johnson (unknown resolution pending DBC thread comment) Martin McNally – Robert Wilson (unknown answer lurking in moist recess) Robb Heady – Wore a pillow case with eyeholes (Halloween or Klan inspired with possible Elephant Man fetish) With these ‘known facts’ (I love this phrase, it makes me feel smart) dumped into the laps of expert investigators I know the theories will flow freely on the source and selection criteria of these names. Please limit your attributions to no more than ten, that will make things go much quicker. It does take a while to read through all the well sourced data points in order to follow a linear logic path to the truth. Take remove your time and share divvy all your ‘known facts’ in public openness about how the phony name aliases were picked chosen by the illegal criminals for use on an airborne flying jet that was in the air up in the sky.
  11. I’ve got to question how a request for two back and two front parachutes translates into military experience. If I asked for two irons and two woods will this make me an avid golfer? Well of course not because just like skydiving, I still don’t have the balls. Cooper could (could that is) have been presented with a pair of sport parachutes placarded for 150 knots max. Would that become proof he was a sport jumper? I would have asked for a C-9 for one simple reason. It’s the only chute I know about. It has another distinct feature that I like in that it was designed so an unconscious pilot would land and live. I would not have requested any reserve chutes because I have no idea what those are or how to use them. I would have used the interphone like a pro and even said, ‘Ahhhhhhh roge…. ahhhhh pilot, hijacker ahhhh…. say bearing and DME PDX over.’ Then I would have opened whatever I damned well felt like in that aircraft and jumped into infamy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIY8CoMILgU
  12. I’m an advocate of the data rather than a theory so time for me to open a can of Duplicity and have a drink. These four case studies survived the jump, most at night and one who had not jumped before. All of them were caught and the associated gear like chutes, guns, money and yes pants were all found in a short span of time. Cooper is gone. All of his associated paraphernalia is gone except some money that was found on a riverbank. That placard is another data point that was discovered within a couple miles of the V-23 airway. If Cooper survived like McCoy, McNally, Heady and LaPoint then why wasn’t a chute, shoes, briefcase, grocery bag or pants found from his jump? He simply must be that good. In order to make him ‘good’ the special ops training, aviation skills and accomplices must be added to the mix so Occam will not stir. If those ingredients can be added with so little precedence or justification what would make the addition of Sasquatch piloted Roswell flying saucers appear to be absurd? We already have bundles of money which will travel upstream or be used as a decoy. Is this about designating the World’s Tallest Midget at this point? If Cooper pranged into the Washougal, a marsh or the Columbia then he could have been a CIA trained ninja or some Goober that perched on an Everett barstool long enough to learn how to be dangerous. I got problems with a ‘Skygod’ that can’t use an interphone properly, open the aft stairs and selects a dummy reserve to jump. If Cooper lived (evidence please) then he most certainly could enter the pantheon of trained jumper as the majority of the case studies have indicated. I still dig the thought of a Bigfoot controlled UFO grabbing Cooper midair but he misjudges his speed and snags Cooper’s chute too hard which knock three bundles of money out of the bag. Stupid Bigfoots.
  13. RobertMBlevins characterizes distance as: “...the authors speculated this spot might have been Paradise Point State Park. It's on a river, only a few feet from the freeway, and a very short distance from where the money was found.” As long as short distance is defined as 25 miles then I guess that would be correct. As long as the money would float upstream from the river at Paradise Point State Park; then that would help the theory also.
  14. These things are welcomed like free proctology exams here but I thought there may me one or two people that would be interested so here are some examples of Cooper Copy-cats. Martin McNally - Never Jumped, Accomplice None, Night Jump Richard McCoy - Sport Jumper, Accomplice None, Night Jump Charles LaPoint - Former Paratrooper, Accomplice None, Day Jump Robb Heady - Sport Jumper, Accomplice None, Night Jump All lived, two lost the money during the jump (Heady, McNally), All crews landed immediately after these four jumps, two brought their own parachutes (Heady/McCoy), The night jumpers remained free the longest (relative since all were captured within 5 days). Any theories on where these guys selected their aliases? Comic books or a name selected because it secretly shows rage against the government is a favorite for Cooper and has absolutely no basis or a way to verify that data. This probably explains this attribute better than any. All the chutes, money, guns and pants lost or discarded during the jumps were discovered within a week. No one waiting on the ground for them, except LaPoint and that being the Sheriff’s Department who were following his footprints in the snow (is snow cold?). McCoy and McNally made it home where they were arrested and Heady was walking to his car when police arrested him. Apparently Heady stashed his car near the DZ and the police noticed a USPA bumper sticker on the vehicle soooooo…. Now Cooper’s night jump is lethal even with his ‘special ops’ training (I know 377 don’t touch) with him likely having an accomplice waiting on the ground.
  15. Now there’s a ‘new’ clue in the form of a matchbook which had ‘Sky Chef’ printed on the cover. Is there a picture of this artifact or source of this information? Cuz a little sumthin sumthin may be missing from this here name. The centralized kitchen system for airlines has been used for some time and with good reason: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkGR65CXaNA&feature=related They have been equally ubiquitous and transparent to the flying consumer for many years. But the name is ‘Sky ChefS’ which currently operates as an airline supplier. Naturally when I read that I thought of a much more manly man product available across the country from Texaco called ‘Sky ChIef’: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BSaL-flDHc Which one is the correct match to this burning question? Or is it nun of the above?
  16. skyjack71 rebukes Gray’s page 49 with: “The Fart Story is totally out of character for Duane. I do NOT believe that ever happened. I was able to reach a former employer and he also told me it was out of character.” I must admit some skepticism associated with Duane’s odd, lifelong, protectionist view of his cookbook with a cheesecake recipe and water damaged photo of a prepubescent girl. Gray’s book certainly sheds more light on the subject than I had imagined. It has been publicly published that Duane had uncontrolled flatulence of such a degree that apparently there were records kept of this by a past employer. I know, I know push the fast forward button because we all have heard this a thousand times before. Yet I feel some review is required in regard to researching a person’s passed gas histories. I know every time I get yet another relative or spouse of a suspected ‘tooter’ calling work to confirm the frequency and volume of certain digestive byproducts, they must be suffering from some tremendous pressure and simply want relief. Clearly Jo has taken that first painful step in the direction of finding or confirming the source of Duane’s non-verbal vocalizations. Heartbreak can be just around the corner when you discover no matter how much effort is expended you still can’t quite put your finger on it. It’s so easy to judge someone when this sort of social atrocity has been seared into a person’s reputation. Did Gray take the time to check San Quentin Prison, Leavenworth or the Colorado State Prison to see if Duane had a history of meting out cruel or unusual punishments to his cellmates? I would assume not. I for one would not want that sort of behavioral stain to follow me around after so many decades of flawless conduct at these state sponsored charm schools.
  17. All this talk about Holland, Cheesecakes and Hot Nuns can appear to have nothing to do with Cooper on the surface, but they all serve as parables to the sins of pride, vanity and that other one. What does Holland have to do with Cooper? A chant heard from jezebels since the dawn of time. Reading those passages closely will reveal how the most banal of activities can foster some of the most ferocious arrogance. I was too cool for school and already knew all about parking lots. Wrong. Gee whiz, are there a few people who know so much about Cooper that they come off like some American monkey struggling with a parking lot? We’ll never know because those that need the lesson most also protest the message the most. Go ahead read back, you will see this again and again. Now 377 and Vicki are talking about nuns like the Catholics have a strangle hold on them. Well all one has to do is look at where Dr. Hunter S. Thompson received his credentials and prepare to set your faces at stunned. That’s right, his alma matter was none other than the Universal Life Church which offers ordinations along with doctorates. Of course there are requirements like a name, address and email but please note; they do NOT ordain via the computer. There are no fees, the title is for life, one of your choosing (Smoking Sister 'Your name here') and there is no requirement for a specific faith. All of it is 100% legal and legitimate through and through. So lookie, lookie here’s the answer for Hot Nuns and those who are merely dreaming of becoming a Hot Nun sans the vow of poverty and that other one. Now there is finally a place where Hot Nuns can join without the restrictions of prayer, deprivations or that other thing. Just slip on some Doc Martens, fishnet stockings, halter habit and enter The Vati-Farf to experience true inner peace. I hope everyone learned something about problem solving and how some subjects can actually offer a different perspective which may lead to a solution much quicker. Like finding a way for Hot Nuns to not be an oxymoron and fully integrated into society. I say they have been shunned long enough.
  18. I personally consider being witness to the Dan Cooper Comic myth to being on par to seeing the genesis of Bigfoot and Roswell UFOs. I consider them equally ridiculous and absurd but the Dan Cooper Comic has less of a mystique since it can be reviewed on this very thread with a simple search. Yet those who cling to the Cooper Comic rebuke any and all suggestions that this was a byproduct of snowmman’s prodigious research and ability to weave various subjects together which appeared unrelated before. Now it has a life of its own that snowmman could no longer control when the subject was gleaned from this thread for various forms of consumption. Even with the originator’s ‘confession’ that this has nothing to do with DB Cooper the presses continue to propagate this myth in a geometric fashion. Well even though I was not able to view the Colossus of Rhodes or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, I feel this more than makes up for that cultural deficit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s3JI_DWvWg&feature=related
  19. I don’t understand this nuance of Blevins saying, Vicki’s dad must placed somewhere just before the hijacking. One ‘given’ is that DB Cooper was ON Flight 305 and not near or having some ancillary association to Northwest Orient or Seattle. This ‘race’ does not have a second place award, it is a binary condition. Mel Wilson does have one notable attribute that all others thus far have lacked. He has been gone since September 1971 and he was and is being sought by Federal agencies. All this other stuff about ties and shoes and where people worked just morphs into a punchboard matrix where everyone gets some sort of score and weighting in relation to being Cooper. I have 35 of Cooper’s traits; it’s just that one that eliminates me. I simply do not understand this approach. Then a chicken and a rattlesnake could be a platypus because one lays eggs and the other has a venomous fang. Now since Mel Wilson’s whereabouts are unknown the week before the hijacking that makes him less of a candidate? I don’t see how there is any difference. Just some more garbage analysis. Just like all this brain dead talk about how Cooper got his alias. What a total crock this subject has turned into. I wonder who knows the alias that McCoy, LaPoint and McNally used. Would zero be a good guess? I wonder who knows how they (the guys that got caught) chose those aliases. Would less than zero be a better guess? Yet there is all this expertise on the source of Cooper’s alias and no case studies yet again. So back to the sheep hair recipe and seeing if cheesecake will stick to a poodle.
  20. Vicki offers research assistance in the form of: “C'mon over....I will help you with the experiment. I do understand it is in the realm of Cooper research. On another note....Does cheesecake stick to monkey hair?” Thank you Vicki for your quick response and for respecting the threads focus by keeping the discussion Cooper related and logical. This of course includes cheesecake and hair which has been richly highlighted in the last two pages. Yet I hunger for more knowledge on these poignant subjects which hold the key to Cooper’s identity. If all this Cooper related reading makes you hungry, why not try this for an evening meal which you will remember for a long time to follow? It is a Farflung favorite and called ‘Hell Toupee Twice.’ Prepare a bed of steamed saffron rice. Place six to eight habanero peppers in the rice. Cover this with angel hair pasta and add paprika for that hell fire color. Garnish with a piece of iceberg lettuce as a devilish tease for unrequited relief. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-QVQLbwtHA Serve cheesecake for dessert and discuss DB Cooper. It’s a good thing….. being bad.
  21. Unlike mind control this is no joke. I have a scientific question. Does anyone know if sheep ‘hair’ will stick to a cherry cheesecake the same as a poodle’s hair? I was trying an experiment at The Cheesecake Factory but as soon as I opened up one tiny bag of sheep hair the staff goes ape and frog marches me out of the place. Wow, that was a zoo full of allegory. I loudly protested that this was for DB Cooper research and that I had no intent of eating any of the cheesecake and the world needs to know this to solve this crime. Can someone else try this?
  22. I can’t take any more of the dodging and deflection about this Cooper cheesecake connection any longer. It was important enough to put in a book and for several reviewers to mention the subject then it must be significant. Like most things in life, I’ll have to do this myself. First I need to find a recipe because I always thought making cheesecake involved pulling a tab on a pasteboard container and pulling the thing out of the box. After several seconds of searching, I found hundreds of examples and the ingredients include: Cream cheese, butter, graham crackers, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cherries. That’s seven common household items and I see nothing cryptic so far. There appears to be a monopoly on cream cheese and that happens to belong to Philadelphia, yawwwwnnnn. Next is butter and the first tumbler of the combination has fallen with a mighty clink. The butter industry is dominated by none other than ‘Land O Lakes’ which is conveniently located in the Land of 10,000 Lakes and the HQ of Northwest Orient Airlines, St Paul. Is it also a coincidence that the standard container of Land O Lakes has four sticks, just like Cooper’s bomb in the briefcase? It simply could not. I have to admit some ignorance when it comes to graham crackers since I haven’t had them since I used to finger paint and take naps on the floor last week. I was finally able to find some major names in the non- saltine, cracker industry which include: Nabisco, Honey Maid and Grahams. I’m sure the super code cracking investigators don’t need to be told that those brands have 7 letters, 2 words and 7 letters in their names. The circumstantial evidence is becoming pretty hard to ignore here. Next is the sugar and depending on which side of the Mississippi you live, it would be Domino or C&H as your primary sweeteners for any recipe up to and including snicker doodles and peanut butter cookies. We all know the international sign for peanut butter cookies as being those cross hatched fork tines placed in the dough before baking, but something tells me the Dutch would use something else, like a piece of tuna. What should be screaming at everyone right now is the combination of America’s favorite sugars which is C H Domino. Quite a place holder isn’t it? And the exact same number of consonants and vowels along with syllables. Why was so much time squandered on Holland instead of being wisely invested in cherry cheesecake recipes? The eggs have proven to be harder to tie with Cooper than I thought. The only holiday they are associated with is Easter and that’s after being delivered by a rabbit. Or in my case hidden behind the tool shed and not discovered till two months had passed when that fuchsia booby trap exploded after the slightest touch. My relationship with eggs has been tenuous at best since then and serve little purpose other than to remind me what will be in that paper bucket for lunch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpRn4Q4V81o&feature=related The next clue is vanilla which comes in a bean, except it isn’t a bean but an extended seed pod from an orchid. An incredibly labor intensive product which may be indicative of the amount of labor Cooper spent making his plans or crafting this code. Leaving cherries which are red like the Northwest logo and round like the letter ‘O’ in Orient and if you eat too many you will spend a lot of time in the bathroom which is exactly what Cooper did on that flight. Well, well, well I can see why the phone lines were burned up with this information between Florida and New York. This all leads right back to Philadelphia, which must contain a safe deposit box or a place where the money is buried or hidden or in plain sight in a public park or private land. I’m sensing some water or something wet or wetness or moisture and little to no humility. What could this mean? I can’t do this all on my own and the media will just take what they like and use it against me. Now that the Cherry Cheesecake Code has been broken the real Cooper work can begin and all this other tomfoolery can come to a halt. Hey, I think some kids are about to walk on my lawn.
  23. Books and many other goods and services are available on virtually every street where they can be purchased in virtual reality. You’ll have to drive, walk or ride to a grocery, drug or convenience store as the first step in this quest. Watch out for that door, did it say PULL? Once inside you will notice a visual cacophony of displays. After all, this is America. At the end of most aisles is a pegboard with an offering of gift cards for goods and services in denominations from $5 to $500. Yes you can buy a dishwasher at a 7-11 now. Keep looking and you will see a card with a big ass ‘a’ printed on it. If there is an attractive employee in the area this is a good time to act scared and confused by the gift card wall. She will help you because it is her job. Be sure to talk down to them because that is customary treatment for anyone in the services industry and they expect and appreciate it. Not sure how? Just wait a minute and listen carefully, you’ll hear the call of the indignant as their species vocalize everything 30 decibels louder than average conversational levels. Now that you have the card for Amazon.Com in hand you can go to the checkout and pay using cash, chickens, carrots or whatever means you normally use. Careful with that door on the way out. Now you can go home, log on the internet and order a book just like a credit card but with the financial risk limited to the value of the card. Just another option on the world wide web.
  24. skyjack71 says to Mr Green after a full day of comments: “I do NOT know why they are all being so hostile toward you.” Words simply escape me.
  25. All Mr Green said was that he didn’t find my posts funny and vomited in his mouth (as you do). He made his opinion known and that was all. Why won’t they leave him alone???? This is a larger mystery than DB Cooper to the likes of a Mr Green yet he views himself as contributing, weird. Well Mr Green vomit in your mouth, lemme hep ya wit a few dings here. AFTER you voiced YOUR opinion about my posts; Vicki, Orange1 and smokin99 voiced THEIR opinions. Get it Sparky? Good for the Captain, good for the crew isn’t that right, ‘Mr Demands Superior Behavior Then Sets And Fails To Achieve Low Goals For Self Guy’? That should have been the end of that. But noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, you had to amend and repeat your revulsion to my prose with some examples of your sense of decorum, total lack of breeding and low reading comprehension. Well done, well done indeed Spanky. Yet you continue, apparently unaware of how many ‘special friends’ you are making with everyone of your well thought out and enlightened 29 comments. Most of which are two or three words and unintelligible. Way to keep the discussion on Cooper (as you cried for) and not on your delicate ego Tough Guy. I thought I would give you a few pet names too Ms Green Honeybunny. Just because I think you’re hunki.
