Will Dangerous Talk finally see the light of day?


I'm sure there are other writers that get 6 figures for their books

I am sure, but does anyone, even the biggest Mike North fan out there think that a publishing company would give him, lets say, 100,000 to write a book and then get more if it sells, I dont see it.

Word is he's been trying to contact Barack Obama's mother to write it . . . without much success.

I wonder which DVD will sell more copies? The one about Nort, or the one about Ronnie Woo-Woo? http://www.ronniewoowoo.com/

People would be interested in his book (at least I would be...). But I hope whoever publishes it lets a professional do the editing. It's kind of embarrassing when Dan tries to play English teacher on the air and correct someone's grammar, only to be incorrect himself. At least when Bernstein does it he's almost always right. With Mac..not so much.

That's true. :lol: He always confuses "literally" and "figuratively", for one thing, and that drives me nuts.

Anyway, book publishers, at least decent ones, always have someone other than the author edit. In fact, before mac sends in his draft, he should have someone else look it over, so they could catch any errors before even sending it in. But I'm sure he knows that.

1 - 2nd figure
0-3rd figure
. - DAT IS A FIGURE ASK FRITZY HE KNOWS!
0 5th figure

"der it is Bee! Call Stella and tell her to pint "Six figure book deal, then go cash that $10 check before dey figure out how much dey gonna lose on this deal."

I am sure the 'release party' will be special

Don't insult the kids in special olympics, they don't need to be in the same catagory as north because they didn't do anything wrong.

That didn't work for Mr. Pickles or Sundevil, why do you think it would work here?

Duh-uh-uhhhh. Hey, everybody, did yous know Barack Obama's mudder is being hidden away in da Appalashun Mountains in Utah an' dat's why we don't see her in da campaign? An' dat Luol Deng can run fast becuz he grew up being chased by lions in da Sudan? An' dat I tink all Mexican newscasters should wear sumbreros to help us idennify dem? To find out more absuhlootely true geo-politikal facts like dese, tune in da nex' MNMS on Monday--I mean Toosday, becuz we's off Monday for Mamoriul Day. I tink dat's to celubrate da renovation dat's takin' place of Mamoriul Stadium in Shampaine where my good buddy Ron Zook coaches, or sometin' like dat, but I'm not sure. Anyways, I don't care becuz I gets da day off to work on my new autobiografee dat I'm gettin' six figgers for. Duh-uh-uhhhh.

If the Score was smart they would just fire Mike North and pay you guys 5 bucks a post for Northism's... save a ton of money and still get the entertainment, Jen or Fred could read the emails and it would be just like Northh was there.......

I really doubt that Mike would be able to name the stadium where the Illini play. Same for the Assembly Hall.

"OK, ya got me dere. I acshually tought it was "My Oriole" Day where youse pick your fav'rite Oriole from back in da day, like Brooks Robinson or Jim Palmer, and den you honor him. But den Fred tol' me--an' by da way, he made it clear he was not disagreein' wit me, jus' makin' a polite suggestshun--dat he was pretty sure it was to celebrate da Mamoriul Stadium renovashun. I don' know how Fred gets so smart sometimes. I tink he knows how to use dose Innernets or sometin.' Anyways, I had to change plans and take down da picshure of Al Bumbry dat I had set up next to my barrbicue grill for da big My Oriole Day party on da beeyoutiful an' spashus deck at Pappyland."
