An Awesome Thing
No. I’m not jealous that the Toronto launch of The Book of Awesome was a rousing success, attracting 500 folk to buy a book of blog posts.
Five hundred? Blimey. That’s roughly the number of folk who have bought ‘my’ book in three years.
What does surprise me is that apparently “the book is being translated into German, Korean, Chinese, Cockney rhyming slang and also being dropped by helicopter into the remotest jungles of Papua New Guinea.”
This is a picture of the helicopter being used for the drop, part of the Garuda fleet.
I recently sent the picture to a few friends and got the captions below in return. Do feel free to add some more.
Is this one of those Merpati aircraft I keep hearing interesting tales about !?!
" … and, by god, he's the best damn pilot in Indonesia."
"I'm nude – fly me…"
J, I like the "joystick" part! Extremely amusing!
