Episode 50 - Arthur "Three Socks" Jackson
Added 2019-07-25 22:16:23 +0000 UTCThis week, Trucking Through Time gets a little.... sexy! If you thought groins were stirring and tightening in the mister, just wait til you see the effect Light Feather has on Chad! (He's not going to need his last name, if you know what we mean...)
Our occasional department of Amazon review guessing returns to inspect the history of, until we started this month, the sole Amazon reviewer of TTT. We've also got another bit of what one listener called "Baroque Nonsense" when we visit the dark web to drop to poach content from another podcast.
For next time, read thru Chapter 14, page 234. And stay tuned, we hope to have an announcement soon about an upcoming live recording! You'll be the first to know about it.

Check out page 84: “Of course, the General blamed the Indians at first until Captain Tim Troy caught one of Wilson’s gang and killed him in a shoot out in a saloon.”

2019-07-30 10:38:12 +0000 UTCI’ve figured out Mike’s confusion with Captain Tim and Captain Troy: it’s one guy named Captain Tim Troy!

2019-07-29 19:11:30 +0000 UTCSo Chapter 14 has a reference to pugil stick fighting. I thought the author was misspelling and grossly misusing punji sticks, but in fact pugil sticks are padded rods used by the USMC and the Army for bayonet training.

2019-07-28 15:56:03 +0000 UTC“Not sure how they’re going to take it” struck me as the kind of sarcastic or cagey dialog an underling is forced to use with an unhinged angry boss. You can’t give the blood hungry general “facts”; you have to be leading or risk getting tossed and no longer able to advise in any capacity.

2019-07-26 14:20:43 +0000 UTCAlso, on the BBC show Hustle, there is a character nicknamed Three-socks. They say that his nickname came from his first trip to the prison shower. I’m guessing this book is more likely ripping of Two-socks the wolf from Dances with Wolves.

2019-07-26 02:06:09 +0000 UTCI’m gonna be *that* guy. Prey was written by Michael Crichton before he died. It’s actually one of the better “late period” Crichton novels. There were several unfinished books that got published posthumously and they all sucked. There was no Jurassic Park 3, however. The book Dragon Teeth was loosely based on two real life paleontologist in the 1800s. It was packaged to look like a Jurassic Park sequel, though.
