Will Earl Make The 6 Month Deadline?

[Furtherman]

He's got six months to write the Black Rock book.

Will he do it?

[ToiletCrusher]

Me thinks so. He is always good when it comes to things that directly benefit him.

[earlsgmaclit]

as much as I would like to see him succeed we all know what happens to earl when he tries. He sounds so unconfident and nervous speaking about it.

[Dougie Brootal]

no chance

[mikeyboy]

I think he can do it.

[yojimbo7248]

"Heirs to the Throne" not only will be finished but it's going to be really good.

[hammersavage]

He IS a genuine, lazy bum.

[burrben]

i have faith in him

[~Katja~]

I think he will write a book in 6 months rather than get laid

[TheGameHHH]

I think he will write a book in 6 months rather than get laid


He'd also rather do anything else for 6 months then get laid, so he might as well write a book

[Hottub]

I think he will write a book on How To Get Laid.

[fleshysilo]

What else has he got to do ?

[drjoek]

It Took him 8 hours to hang 4 pictures

i gotta see it first I vote NO

[instrument]

the doctors onto something.

i say earl will finish, but it will be a photo book...which the publisher wouldn't have been aware of.

[OGC]

ummm, errrrr ....... no

[realmenhatelife]

I think he's going to do it. He seems to have fallen ass backwards into getting paid to spend all day with his greatest passion and he has nothing else to distract him. No job, no drugs, no girls, no color.

[nickypeeps]

i think, since it's black rock, he'll care enough to actually finish it, but i also think he'll hand in something he knows is a hunk of shit rather than submitting nothing and just pretend like he tried his hardest

[GreatAmericanZero]

since he did hand in a detailed outline and thats already done, I think he can do it. Plus, its something he can do alone, its when Earl has to interact with other people that he fucks up

[mikeyboy]

Well, that's not quite right. He isn't doing it completely alone because he needs to interview people who are now located around the world.

[CruelCircus]

And technically, he has nine months.

[Doogie]

I think the boys have a better chance of seeing Ron Wood in the studio in that time frame than Earl does in completing that book.

[GreatAmericanZero]

He should call the book "Hiiiiiiiiii Rawn!" and dedicate it to his grandmother and all the ghost cock she recieves

[Dell]

I vote yes... gotta be easier than hanging them dang pictures

Did everyone forget about Earl's legendary 'Why humans lived at the same time as dinosaurs' essay Ron made him write??

Who the hell would give him a book deal????

Heh. I forgot about that.

RELIGION & EVOLUTION By Earl Douglas

There’s been a long debate between the religious and scientific community pertaining the origin of man, evolution and its perceived timelines. In this report, I’m going to examine both ideologies and attempt to distinguish fact and fiction. In the interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I adhere to Christian values and beliefs. But I will try to do my best to give both sides of the argument and draw a reasonable conclusion.

Recent discoveries suggest that humans first emerged on the Earth between 160-195,000 years ago. This would directly question the assertion in religious circles that Man was created over 6,000 years ago and more specifically, that God created Heaven and Earth in seven days. However, the accuracy of carbon dating, the process in which the age of fossils is determined, has through the years been called into question, but generally with some exceptions, amongst religious and scientific camps. Bible scholars often countered with the assertion that a day in God’s eyes is like a 1,000 of our years and also that several thousand years passed between the documentation of various books in the Bible including The Book of Genesis. Add to the fact that there have been numerous changes in the calendar year – including the shift from a 360 day calendar (which represents a full circle) to 365 days a year, there’s no conclusive means to give an exact time as to when the Earth began.

Evolutionists have always maintained that man and dinosaurs never lived together and I must admit that the notion that they did didn’t quite grab me either. But upon checking out various websites and also The Bible, there is significant evidence to support it. Many have argued that given a dinosaur’s size, it would have been impossible for Noah to get one dinosaur, much less two into the Ark. In Genesis 6:13, God tells Noah that the Ark must be ‘300 cubits, its width 50 cubits and its height 30 cubits.’ Under today’s measurements, the height of the Ark would be 45 feet, width at 75 feet and 450 feet in length. Of most animal species, the ones that are stronger, faster and more apt to reproduce are the babies. They also sleep more and eat less. If you were to take a still growing brachiosaurus onto the Ark, it would be about only 15 feet tall and would easily fit onto the Ark.







In The Bible, the words ‘Tanniyn’, ‘Behemoth’ and ‘Leviathan’ appear numerous times, particularly in The Old Testament.

When translated, ‘Tanniyn’ is described as ‘dragon’, ‘serpent’, ‘sea monster’, ‘reptile’, and ‘dinosaur’. In Job 40: 15-24, a behemoth is described as a creature that ‘eats grass like an ox’, ‘moves his tail like a cedar’ and ‘lies under the lotus trees, in a covert of reeds and marsh’. Most children’s books will describe dinosaurs has having ‘tails like a cedar’. A Levianthan has been often described as a ferocious and terrifying sea creature. Isiah 27:1 describes it as ‘a reptile that is in the sea’ and Job 41: 25 says: ‘When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid’ and verse 28-29 states that ‘The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear’. Such accounts do dispel the notion that humans existed after the extinction of the dinosaur.

In conclusion, I believe that the ‘truth’, however one may want to call it, lay somewhere in the middle. I have always been the believer that one’s faith, combined with the existing science, can support both ideologies. There’s nothing wrong with questioning your beliefs. It is wrong to openly dismiss these ideologies with looking deeper into it and finding out for yourself. I have done so and learned a lot and have not lost connection to my faith.

In the end, it’s not where we came from, but what we can learn from the past to help us move forward.

missed Earl's essay... thanks for the post

he didn't seem to build a very sound framework in that essay... hard to build a real case for any side or even the middle... I think he would have a hard time selling a book intended to persuade others using that approach... providing a historical perspective might the best angle (I've never found him very persuasive)... that would argue against the "Heirs to the Throne" title since that implies he wants to make a case... I'll buy a copy no matter what

[Brad_Rush]

Even though you never read the boards anyway, congrats Earl! It was good to hear you again on the show!

[Gvac]

No fucking way, unless he hires a ghost writer.

[RMPGP]

In picture framing time we're talking about decades.

[biozombie]

6 months to write the shortest book ever? Only time will tell.

[Juliejulez]

I don't think he has much of a choice. I'm on that line getting my shit signed, you better believe that!:clap:

[Furtherman]

It's 50-50 so far! Can Earl pull this off?

Will he be in smoking jacket with pipe in the study announcing his book tour six months from now? Can it be done!?

[Farthammer]

There is a 0.0 percent chance Earl will complete a full book in 6 months.

[nixonfingers]

Earl will make the initial deadline, but he will have to do rewrites.

[PapaBear]

Earl will make the initial deadline, but he will have to do rewrites.
I think this explains the 50-50 thing. Some people fail to understand what the deadline actually means. He doesn't have to have a completed book in 6-9 months. He has to have enough to show that there will actually be a book by then. At least, that's the way I understand it.

Having no idea if Earl can write, it's hard for me to decide if he can do it. But he does have a lot going for him. This has been a personal obsession with him for a long time. And he does have the bonus of having a lot of time on his hands. I'm voting "YES".

[sailor]

hell to the yeah.

I understand completely. I don't think he will have enough to show there will actually be a book.

I also have no idea if he can write but it has been proven he is a lazy ass.

I still wish him the best and will most certainly purchase the book out of respect.

[yojimbo7248]

I just finished reading a book about the LA punk scene called "We Got the Neutron Bomb" by Marc Spitz and Brendan Mullen (guy who opened the Masque). It was done in the same style as the Spin article on black rock that quoted Earl. It was basically just a collection of stories told by Pat Smear, John Doe, Greg Ginn, etc. There would be a chapter about a certain aspect of the scene and then quotes. If I was Earl, that's how I would write this book. For the four Living Colour chapters, he would just have to have Vernon Reid say "I remember the first time we played...".

[STC-Dub]

I would like to say yes but I cannot.

[Furtherman]

Writers block.... for the proposal!

[fezfez]

Writers block.... for the proposal!

The writers block comment made me nervous for Earl too. The problem was that it was writers block for twitter.

[Furtherman]

Hmmmm. 6 months.

[IMSlacker]

Just one month late.

[underdog]

The book is hilarious.

[paulisded]

Blurb is the Cafe Press of books.

[epo]

Blurb is the Cafe Press of books.

And "Blurb" appears to be the appropriate venue for Earl's writing style...

[opie's twisted balls]

a ghost writer.
that would be spooky

[TripleSkeet]

Where are the comments on Blurb that Ron was reading today?
