So I went down to Chinatown to get fitted for a suit and the tailor wanted to know why my shoulders were so low and why my hands were all scabbed up. I told him I did some climbing and he was all like "Oh! Do you know Tami Knight?"

Do you have a "C" tattooed on your forehead, with a diamond circumscribed around it?

I had one of those Pika bumper stickers on my old truck before it was really true.
It did provoke some strange glances.

"I heard Tami Knight is seven feet tall, kills men by the hundreds. And if she were here, she'd consume the English with fireballs from her eyes, and bolts of lightning from her arse..."

Good theme here, Pilgrims. No question at all, even down here in the Bay Area. Tami Knight is inescapable as we have chinatowns and tailors here as well. I think the vector has been rats and the really wet weather recently. You can get a special scraping tool though at REI and for the most part get rid of infestations with a bit of elbow grease and I am told, bleach or oxalic acid. Some have said even a few cells remaining will mean you’ve got it growing back next season larger than ever, as if encouraged! So get all detailed in there and go down to bare wood if you value your life and that of your loved ones.
Now even Peter Croft was unable to extirpate it, though scrubber par excellence he be! In the early days there was no protocol for the disease and BANG, it'd be there, like out of thin air, flourishing in---what?---the northern mists, on the bellies of rats??. Being as modest and in fact really, dontcha think Pilgrims, long-suffering as Croft may be, infestations were frequent, especially after all his stuff was ripped off up at Squamish and he had to live in a duffle bag in a cave with hand-me-downs. Damn, there TK still was, almost tawdry, nearly florid really, taunting Nature in its alien-like profusion as if to snatch his body.
PTPP, Hardman nearly died tragically of a really bad case of TK, obviously; why do you ask? Even Alta Bates Research Hospital in Berkeley couldn’t put him back together again, and I quote. Yeah, Dude, we have it down here TOO.
Look here and see how common it is in Canada; at first these three callow lads thought they were safe:

gotta put my tony bird story in here, relating to tami's ex who, you never know, could be lurking.
there are at least two folksinging, guitar-playing, ethnomusicological tony birds in the world. if you google the name, you'll get the other one.
i sent him a letter once, and we had a cordial exchange.
then i took my kids to a music to-do at mccabe's one day, and i got into exchanging songs with this nice woman with a guitar. we hit it off pretty well musically, which is a rarity for me, so i gave her my name and phone number for future pickin' parties. she took one look at my name and her smile vanished.
"oh, you must know the other tony bird," i said.
"know him! i was his girlfriend for six months."
she never telephoned.

As I recall our talented toonist has requested that we respect her intellectual property rights and don't scan and post her artwork.
There is something funny about referring to it as intellectual though, snicker guffaw.

Tami's creativity is alive and well here. Paul P. has a set of Tami-painted Russian Dolls that are well played here in Tassie.
