Wasn't his wife in Caddy shack?

I would love to get my hands on that book, but with a price like that it won't be anytime soon. Has anybody read it, is it worth that kind of money?

 

[Darroll]

There is no way I will be paying $170 for a book.

It's pretty good if you want to understand the mechanics behind the equipment. This could guide you in proper sizing and choices.

I got a copy about 10 years ago out of Dr.s F & S (then Pet Warehouse) for about $15.

Edit: I think I have the first edition.

$33.70 sounds a bit better!

Thanks guys!

I ordered me one too. Good bathroom reading material

Awesome book, I waited for many months for Amazon to ship me a copy without luck. I finally found someone selling it in a classified forum (probably RC, don't recall for sure) Get it if you can.

Escobal? Was'nt that the mexican dude in that movie Blow that supplied all the dope?

 

[DrBDC]

Yes, and his wife was Mrs. Escobal that Dan Acro'd was working for to get rid of the gopher.

 

[Aqua Keepers]

I can't believe people buy books that cost $170 from a dope dealer in Mexico. All the profiets probably go to supporting his prostitution ring in South America.

im appalled

I'm shamed! I must have had a TIA (mini stroke) when I wrote that.

I believe he was referring to Caddyshack 2, which had Dan Akroyd as a hitman trying to kill Jackie Mason's character. He used code names when arranging the hit and one of those was something close to Mrs. Escobal. He ended up trying to kill the gopher instead of Jackie Mason.

Pablo Escobar was the cocaine kingpin.
