Coz suggested we start one on another thread. I thought to myself, surely there must be one already? There was one last year, but apparently it was deleted. http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1555851&msg=1556013#msg1556013

I would love to hear some classic Donini tales!!

Big Mike, I know you mean well but I'm afraid this will lead to Jim's joining
Locker's Big-Headed Club and that's not a good thing.

Maybe it was deleted for a reason: watch your back!

Jim seems pretty down to earth. It's hard to see him getting big headed.

If Jim has a problem with it, I will delete if he makes his wishes known.

Even if you are an unrepentant troll, at times.

He's a good climber and a good leader.


Also a good Troll.



He does slide shows from time to time. They are not to be missed.



I like him and want to hear more from him.

Jim is pretty much all around good. Might need to sharpen up the musical interests a bit, he's been stuck on Tiny Tim.

I was literally in diapers when Donini sent the Egger. Cool in my book.

I'd probably be smart to wear a diaper myself, if I went for the Egger

I meet Jim in Cochise last year - one nice & good man, and that is more important than his amazing accomplishments. & amazing they are.

In my opinion, Donini still has one of the funnier posts on ST.

The topic was "How did you get staretd climbing?"

Donini wrote that he was reading a magazine in the dentist's office and there was an article about Chris Sharma that made climbing look like fun - so he decided to give it a try.

Word on the street is Donini's tears cure cancer. Too bad he had never cried.

DONINI

There once was a lad named Donini
Who some thought a bit of a meany

Cantankerous at best
He slandered the rest ?
