A couple of tasty Gill shots from Oli's Master of Rock II.

I thought that one of those pumping granite shots had Largo smoking a cig. That and that NIAD photo led me down the dark path of tobacco. Yep, it is all their fault.
I remember reading those articles over and over with the mag open on top of my textbook in high school. I sat WAY in the back.

Photo credit for that one goes to Kieth Cunning.
In the climbing mag in which it appears, no credits are given; I somehow thought Brian Rennie.
But Kieth made it to one of our reunions this spring and happily claimed the effort.
Shared some hilarious times with Kieth, John & The Uplanders...

Yep. That's the one. I wanted to be just like Largo. Except the muscles. I could never quite pull that one off. My wrists were bigger than my biceps.
Cough, cough.
I mean, geez, look at that guy. He was ripped. Probably still is.

Yeah, I had bad genes. I am still trying to get over that part...Maybe they could inject me with some of Largo's stem cells. 30 years too late, alas.
I am working out right now. I have about 40 well logs in front of me and am trying to sort out a horrible correlation. My mouse finger is twice as big as my thumb. It would be great if I were a doctor with that finger....
Keeps me rolling til midnight 24/7. That and lots of smokes.

Yup, that chaw juice is vile.
Lemme see if I got it right...
A Camel straight has no filter.
A Dimp is with filter.
If you "square" a dimp, you have a makeshift straight.

I thought a dimp was a cig and a dip was a dip? Isn't the usual transition from dimp to dip to quits if you're lucky? So glad I never went down Tobacco Road. Just say no.....

Correct Mimi, a dimp is a cigarette, but with filter.
A dip of chaw, or chewing tobacco, is just a dip.

Yeah, Mimi, I am still a horrible smoker. Not all of the time. I quit for a few years and smoke for a few years. I am a bi-smoker.
I wanna hear some stories about that jungle trip he took with Bridwell. Like if anyone got the Guinea Worm.
Geez, I got all this work in front of me. I am glad that I don't have a boss....

I wonder if these gadgets would be off limits on a no hands problem?
Largo, from back when you and Bridwell were hangin' with these curly gents...got any tales?

Man, I gotta get me one of those penis gourds and show up at a meeting. They already know that I am a brick shy.
Plus, you get a big gourd and it makes you look more burly...those curved ones are really cool.
Really, I gotta hear about that trip.
Somebody told me that when they were in the valley after that, Fish or Shmutzfink or somebody drew a picture on their van of Largo with a bone in his nose with the caption, "I dig the jungle." I didn't see it, so not sure.

A brick shy, but a foot taller.
Edit: In the saddle that is.
