quote UphillHarry: "



I just learned from a reliable source that the whole Aaron King event was nothing more than a publicity stunt for “Castaway II: The North Country”. Yes, in fact Aaron will play the starring role of the cast away. I have also learned that the role of Wilson this time will be played by an Exped Air Pillow UL size Large. They are even writing in a love interest for Wilson, to be played by an MSR Reactor stove, and let me tell you she is hot! But… spoiler alert…. they are not made for each other and Wilson gets burned. On the down side, it sounds like there will be some annoying product placement advertising, including Jiff peanut butter, Brugger’s bagels and a new company called VirtualShoes, which just like the name implies, allows you to buy a pair of virtual shoes online and then exchange them at your whim for whatever virtual pair of shoes you need at that moment. There are thousands of styles to choose from, including some very nice virtual hiking and portage boots. Finally, I understand that they are negotiating with Tom Hanks to do a cameo role as Arctic.
