FREE BOOKS
« on: December 12, 2009, 05:32:26 PM »
The last time I tried to post free VHS tapes, they were moved to the classifieds but Graybeard wrote me and said they would have been O.K. here as a topic. So we'll try books this time.

This is the complete seven volume series, THE SEAFARERS, Time-Life Books, 1978. The covers are padded and look and feel classy. They are a good read and I really enjoyed them. Lots of good illustrations. Lots of cannon stuff.

Fighting Sail...The Men-of-War...The East Indiamen...The Whalers...The Spanish Main... The Dreadnoughts...The Explorers...

Here's the real deal: They are to be shipped in a single box lot at BOOK RATE, Media Mail. You send me a cheque and pay what the shipping label reads when they arrive. That way, there is no extra going back and forth and you can get them quicker; hopefully before Christmas.

The box weighs 17 lbs.. You take your chance with the shipping cost. I can't be bothered finding the cost to individual locations.  I'm sure it won't break your piggy bank.

The first to post, "I want the books", gets them. You can send me your address through the forum Email for privacy.

That's the problem with Rocklockese if you don't have a translator program or the Roklockese-English dictionary handy

something gets lost in the translation....  ;D

Richard the giver of knowledge ' might be a proper title . How bout Richard Rex Magnus ?

and if I misspelled something please dont just tell god and everyone I'm not too bright ....

I maybe foolin the slow one's ;D and the rest already know so why bring it up ? ........ my street cred is slowly dimminising (sp)  ;)

I know BoomJage would beat me down at a moments notice , but "et to Richardus ?"

That means "and you too Richard ?" in garesse  :o. And it is not spelled wrong as I rock the 'Garesse world' and all associated terms , and misgivings .

Cannonmn has all rights as agent in charge for the upcoming TV serries and movie . And a book too  ;D.

There is a position open for the King postition in the serries (upcomimg) and I can and will put in a good word for you .

But as I rock garresse as king you are only a subect of mine . What say ye ? Subgod ?

Gary    All Hail the "Giver of Knowledge" ! RRM (Rich Rex Mangnus)

Welll , DD what do you and BoomJ think ? Joined at the hip and all ? If stones are in question . I would suggest you both give up , and ask for a redeal . And then settle for womanhood .

And you carronader , you can dress up in Drag as it is the Scooothish thing to do . kilts/mendresses and all . You can keep your mouth shut too. If I can make it to the 2010 mont. shoot I will shows yous something .

It is becoming less attractive as the days go on . you know driving 16 hours to end up in the city park . Then listen to a bunch of matcho hooey about how this little rat or that was shot with a .17 or .22 at about a million yards while on the run.

and then how even more little rats were shot ......laid out on stones (the only ones in Montana or Illinos) 

proudly .....jezz .you  kill a few rats and think you done something worth a picture ? or a rolling screen saver with these little rats killed by x and heres some more killed by y . Why ? thats a good question . Just cause .

A mind is a terrible thing to waste , opps too late .

I'm guessing that on the scale you live on ...it was something ? something big ! take a pic ...quick B4 anyone forgets what you did .

BoomJ have you ever actually Fired a cannon ? I know you bought one , and made a carriage  what sort of groups are you getting ,what is your powder charge ? where are the pics ?..... Maybe you can find a nice 'blast' online and show it ?

GOD theres alot of wanta be's here get off your BUTTs and DO SOMETHING ! dont say anything about it thou unless you want every Tom ,Dick and Harry telling you this and that and how 'theyed' have done it , AFTER they wanted to know how to do it . 

And why you are a morron for doing it in exaclty the same way that none of them has a clue about , opinions YES clues ....not so much .

RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

DD can be a pain sometimes ,but I do appologize to DD for that joined at the hip thinggy and all  .

That was just plain wrong on many levels . ;)

If it where true he'd have shot his self dead along time ago ,and then we wouldnt have a cop as a moderator , and believe me we need a cop .

He's a big man so dragging him around with you dead wieght and all would be bad .

So I have decided to release him from the hip jointing remark . I'm sure just reading it put a death shiver right up his spine .

On the other ,If you were joined he might not shoot his own self . :o

Gary , Semper Fi 

That's for Doug too

Unless you were in the Corps too ???????
