"The dickens you say"

 

[theTreeSpyder]

Mostly, his ways to me, many times made me think of a 'Cool Hand Luke' kinda style.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Butch was a good ol' Boy. Old school tree tramp, and nothing wrong with that in my book. I long admired his staunch attitiude to sticking to the basics. He made himself a comfortable life style there in Alexandria. Nothing fancy. like the Duke.

Reading your recollections of Butch really helps me Gerry, in a profound way.

Reflections of a life:
We all know about the Tshirts MB sold; that we all have/shown.
Here are SOME of other arbo/climbing shirts i have collected/wear daily that tell his/our story and spirit it takes at this thing we do/have done:

 

[pantheraba]

Where are you almost have to die a thousand times... Those are great.

 

[Mick!]

I see those on FB, they make me cringe.

 

[theTreeSpyder]

Don't get the cringe, and have many more shirts.
This gem just came up in the rotator :


And cuz he walked it that way to the end; can almost here him saying it!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I think Butch would have liked this gal.

 

[cory]

Are there folks who don't like this girl??

But btw, who exactly was it that talked female track and field athletes into dressing like hoes? I mean it's real hot, but it is curious to me.

 

[Tree09]

Bah, all track and field used to be done in the nude. Less clothes = more movement, and they are pushing that envelope the whole time.

 

[cory]

Yes, I figured it might enhance movement which of course is a good reason. But, you know what I'm saying, does it have to me made to look so utterly hot????!?

If skin tight is where it's at, why don't the track guys where skin tight?

 

[ruel]

They absolutely do

 

[cory]

I must be out of touch

 

[cory]

Ok I checked some pics, yes absolutely guys wear skin tight but none of it shows off their ass. The few pics I saw, lot of them had tights down to just above the knee, why don't the girls wear that? Who talked em into looking like sex objects?

 

[flushcut]

It all started with female beach volleyball.
Ok call me a sexist pig but I do so love looking at the female form clad in whatever outfit, or lack of, they see fit to wear. Hell spandex down to the ankle doesn't leave much to the imagination male or female. I think it's when you seem them as a sex object is the problem.

 

[cory]

Ha like the whole world doesn't see them as sex objects when dressed like that.

I guess it is obviously an ingrained societal thing lately, wherever possible, girls dress hot and skimpy

 

[Benjo75]

If you go the the people of wal mart site you'll see that not everyone looks like that in spandex.

 

[flushcut]

Walmartians.

The thing is that you need to not stare at their womanly attributes and respect who they are while wearing a brightly colored second skin. The whole time denying biology.

 

[cory]

Walmartians.

 

[Benjo75]

Us men are so respectful of women that when they are wearing a tiny bikini we'll only look at the parts that are covered. So they don't think we are staring at their body.

 

[cory]

That was awesome.

 

[flushcut]

Priceless!

 

[cory]

Hey, I gotta think MB would be quite happy with the way the House has carried on in his absence. Still seems very vibrant and relevant.

Still the occasional bumps in the road, same as when he was here.

 

[vharrison]

I miss that ol' fellow.

 

[cory]

One of a kind, he.
