ivan Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 my new badass climb'n pard'na - once he lets go his mama's titty, gets up off the coach and uncages the soul! for those interested, Æthelwulf was the obscure 9th century wessex king to first climb 5.10 and consume his weight in and in a standard day a little disappointed the kid couldn't hang on one more day to get born on the ides - i had some even more hateful latin names in the ready-rack for him; this one at least has already proven highly succesful in pissing off my old man (and theoritically at least the great to the 20-some-odd power grandson of said saxon monarch) Quote
John Frieh Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 my new badass climb'n pard'na - once he lets go his mama's titty, gets up off the coach and uncages the soul! Even if he does you still have to let go of your mama's titty!!!! And clean the bathroom and mow the yard! Congrats dude! Bring him to DT night and we can take turns watching him so you can climb!

olyclimber Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 and i get remarks for naming my kid Ulysses! Where did you come up with that one? Family name? Quote
minx Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 nice work! you'll have him anchored to a rock holdin a grigri for you in no time....just don't tell your wife Quote
ivan Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 Æthelwulf is at least in theory a family name, as linthwaite is a geographic region in england near the 9th century king's realm (actually, to call him a king is a bit generous - england at that time was a motley assortment of barbarian bastards not unlike backwoods west virginia today - buncha buck-toofed numnuts jeaolousy slaying one another over who had the least homely girlfriend and biggest pile of busted-up bullshit rotting away in the front forty) - sometime in the past 200 years one of my grandpapies, no doubt w/ wick still wet and ears still ringing, fled the law thisaways and adopted the handle of his hometown. as king, apparantly the big Æ affected a momentary unity amongst saxons, angles and celts around a mockery of jesus-worshipping, took an all expense paid trip to rome to spread the seed...er, word...then returned home to find his son's had screwed him outta house n' hearth.

ivan Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 Did you just watch Beowulf or somethin dude, all the movie versions of that story blow! the translated text fawk'n though - however, i attributed my denali partner's high-altitude mental melt-down in part to my -fueled raucous recitation of said bard-verse Quote

Squid Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Congratulations! You should've just named him Sue. Quote
layton Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 nice job! your kid is gonna have a HELL of a time filling out scantron type forms. Be sure have him practice picking up a baby calf every day until it's a full grown bull. also remember to get the calf wet when you dip it in the styx. Quote
Couloir Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 (we need a cigar avatar) Congratulations Eric! Quote
jlag Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Congrats Dude, kid looks huge! Having him start shooting free throws now. Quote
Mos_Chillin Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Good News, E! Congrats. You just don't see that Olde English AE enough these days, it's the reverse mohawk of the spelling world. Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 You should change the spelling of your surname to Linðwaite while you're at it! Quote
billcoe Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Sweet: glad your son is healthy Ivan. Gandolf must have been taken already for a name. Probably like Prince's old name (formerly Glyph boy the singer), unpronounceable........... Quote
JoshK Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Congrats bud! You now have the perfect canvas on which to create your perfect climber! Screw baby food - serve him mashed up for brekfast! Quote
