So, you're going to go dig through your 10,000 books so you can find the name of a book about the Alamo? You don't think you could find that on the internet? With all the YouTube videos and track and field fantasy lists you've found? You don't think you could find the name of the fucking book that you are pretending to have read?

[JudynTX]

Thanks for the recommendations.

A book full of lies that are taught to our kids in school, or a book on the truth?

A book for someone who has limited understanding of what really happened there. This person is thinking of writing a concept album about it.

Pay attention, you can do this.

I have 90% of those 10,000 books displayed on shelves by type of book. Sci fi, westerns etc. Yes wall to wall shelves. A library/gym/recording studio/Fortress of Solitude. It might be in with the westerns, I don't remember. If not then it will be in a box...westerns. Why would anyone lie about reading a book?

Dude, are you really that messed up?

Ok this is what you do, don't act like a moron on somebody elses thread. This thread isn't about your stupidity...ok? Don't respond, this isn't about you.

Sorry gang, back to the topic. cantwhatever is an embarrashment.

I'll tell you what. You go find that book and take some pics of it and of your fucking wall to wall bookshelves. And of your 6 TVs. And post the pics. You'll probably find yourself much more welcome than you are now. At least then, we'd all know you were just a bad poster and not a poorly (or ingeniously) constructed troll.

Sleuthing The Alamo. Good book on what really happened at the Alamo instead of the John Wayne/white power version.
