Kissing a plaque or trail sign makes about as much sense as putting your azz on it.

Gator Gump wrote a book,
Sticking his bare azz on the plaque was all it took,
Now he's got everybody shook,
Like him or not, you'll read his book.
Sorry, I'm bored.

He had fun, he had a ball
I saw chapter one in a bathroom stall

I wrote about it on Whiteblaze,
The attention it brought about put me in a daze.
People yelled about the book,
But at this thread...they still took a look.
The author was happy and a bit chagrined,
For all this free publicity on his face put a grin.

LOL >>>Y"all are a poet and don't know it..............I have to hand it to you guys pretty darn good!!
Sorry about that Hiker mom. I was trying to come in under the radar in order to listen in and comment on any potential book reviews. But honestly what was I thinking? This is the internet, people are going to say whatever, doesn't matter if they know I am listening or not.
Max Patch uncovered my ruse in a matter of minutes. Good detective that one.
This azz thing on the plaque, and the attention it has received, reminds me of the time I was hitchhiking around Ireland and went to see the Blarney stone.
I befriended a few locals and they tole me: "Whatever you do, don't kiss the darn thing, we all know that Americans like to do this, so many locals here pee on it"
Good luck with the sales on the book TT.
Don't let your fears stand in the way of your dreams
Who cares if some naked guy sit on the springer plaque that thing makes a great seat. i talked to him a little bit in 07 the guy is hilarious and i am sure his book will be great. hopefully not the same old thing that every body writes. i am going right now and buying it.
Thanks, max patch!
I will be doing the same. I'm really tired of reading all these books that just repeat themselves over and over and over.
"So TODAY, I was in Virginia, and I hiked a lot, my feet hurt, I was tired and it rained... but I took in some great views and met some guy who I spoke with for an hour"... "and the next day, I hiked, again, 22 miles... and my feet still hurt"
nonsense...

No no no LOL. That's what I feel like I read over and over again every time I read a book about the AT. Make it fun, make it interesting!
Definitely looking for something 'different' for my next read on the AT.

Anybody know if you can cut and paste from kindle? Since you asked...here's one which I thot this was a good one:
Do farts have lumps in them? Asked the hiker by the name of Cantankerous. Don’t think so snorted Parta John. Then I just **** my pants, retorted Cantankerous. At least my farts don’t stink, he said, looking over at me.
Reminds me of when I went to see my doctor about this problem, I said, looking around the room for support. I told him I had a problem, that I fart all the time. And I mean constantly.
But doc, I said, at least they don’t stink and you can’t hear them. Matter of fact, I told him: Since I’ve been sitting here, I’ve farted 5 times and, you see, no smell and no sound.
I hesitated to make sure everyone was with me.
So I’m like thrilled when he starts writing me a prescription. That’s great doc, I said. Will this clear up my farts?
He said: No this is to clear your sinuses, and next week I want you back for a hearing test
Ahhhh .... haha!! That is soooo funny!!! ^
