Not that it matters, but for the first year or so on this site, I thought Sobo was black. Not sure why. Rock on bro, rock on...
There's a black person here????!!!!
I was born a poor black child. But then I decided to become white...
Has something to do with ermine... not sure if that's a reference to his body hair, or that his family once raised them for polish royalty, or what... Very good, Marcin! "Keeper of the Animals" is what I've been told by Dad. Could have been ermine, mink, weasels, etc.
McCB,
My Uncle Frank thanks your late father for his protection during that first day of the battle. I know it sounds corny now, but apparently fighter jocks/air support pilots really were referred to as "angels on our shoulders", just like Tom Hanks says in Shaving Ryan's Privates.
funny b/c, in the beginning in n africa, american soldiers were famous for shooting up their own air support, to the point where fighters basically stopped goign near them
Just going on what my uncle said, ivan. YMMV...

ETA: nevermind, jsut noticed the post dates
WTF, did I skip over you, Dave??? All right, all right. I apologize. I'm really, really sorry. I apologize unreservedly. I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way 'fair comment' and was motivated purely by malice and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.
with sincere apologies to John Cleese
Ya beat me to it, Carl. Before I read to the end of this thread, my first thought was, "Make it with my girlfriend. Again. And again. And again." Which, coincidentally, is precisely what I've been doing for the past 3 months... which is why I haven't been climbing since August. I mean, I've got years of catching up to do now that I'm finally and completely divorced...
ZZ, POTM, Mel, and Jake/Porter:
Thanks, y'all. I'm busting a tear here. :snif:
Mel, give Chaos a big wet lick for me.
And yes, Bala, I'm on my second bottle of Maryhill cab...
Porter, was that you sending greetings from WCC?
Eeee-yup! Twiced!
Whitesides was also my very first big wall (Original Route w/Frank Gibson - RIP) after I gave up rappelling and started climbing (shortly after these pics were taken). It made for a very thirsty endeavor because of the heat and humidity.
