By their bleating ye shall know them...
The Sheep Buggerers
Baa baa baa
The sheep buggerers
Were on patrol
Who might they find?
We could not know
No cliff was safe
In J Tree land
What fate might bring
Or was at hand
Baa baa baa
Was what they sang
The Fish and Manx
And all their gang
God only knew
What happened to them
What their victims said
Was heinously grim
Baa baa baa
From round the bend
I kept my space
And my rear end
Guessing all to well
How things might go
What capture meant
Or would portend
Baa baa sheep buggers
Yes it's true
The sheep buggerers
Will gun for you
You'd better wise up
And play it cool
Keep your distance
Don't be a fool
Baa baa baa
On one fine day
There climbed some dudes
On a route that day
A top rope came
And I tied in
To climb to where
The crux began
Baa baa baa
Came from above
The cry for aberrant
bestial love
I passed the crux
And untied there
With two good jams
And a vacant stare
Baa baa baa
They cried again
That I might die there
Was no sin
The rope was gone
As nightfall came
I soloed up
And saved my name
Baa baa sheep buggers
Come for you
It won't bode well
When they catch you
You'll lose your pride
And virginity too
When they latch on
From behind to you
Baa baa baa
In distance yon
The buggerers
They now had gone
I'd crapped my pants
If truth be told
The price for pride
Out in the cold
Baa baa baa
Was what they sang
The Fish and Manx
And all their gang
And God knows what
They'll do to you
It won't be nice
That's all I'm saying

Yeah, them Buggerers™™ were out there! Craig Fry, their fearless leader, still posts here in the politarded threads. Quite a band of misfits he lorded over.
Craig created this chart a while back to show the lineage:
Lots of lore here:
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=211354&msg=1987668#msg1987668
Another weird twist is all the Sheep Buggerers, including their leader Craig Fry, were members of the Young Republicans based out of Pacoima, Ca. The chapter was eventually folded when the Buggerers revolted against their right wing leader and became mostly left leaning sackless slab climbers of no real note.
From another thread, some additions:
The Inflatable Man
The Human Drug Machine
The Simpleton
Doogan the Tin Man
The Frog
Dick Cilley, second in command to Craig
Tom Grimes
Kevin Powell
The San Diego Bent
The Almondjoybar Brothers
Doc of Shock
Brother Gaines
The Ruby DuLuxe
Doug the Slug Zeisner (2nd strongest man in the world)
The Schmutzfink
Herman the German
That one dude with the big hand... aka "The Hand"

Illustrious list. I remember Dr. F regaling me with stories of Mr. Long's prowess, all the more impressive coming from a guy with Craig's level of fitness.

The Sheepbuggar Flow Chart was created by Russ
But it's completely accurate
Russ was/is the Sheepbuggar historian
Thank goodness someone remembers those great dayz with an eye for detail
don't remember the sackless slab climber part, you may have confused me with my brother, he loves those slabs
We need to organize a Josh sheepbuggar reunion
Can't wait to lord over my minions once again!

Hey there say there, sorry Mr Fry if I left you out of my poem.
I can write you back in as the Dark Overherder or Baaad Sheep Number One if you'd like...
My memories of those days are foggy at best, but still my dreams are haunted by the bleats of horror echoing through the JT Wonderland of Rocks in my head from BITD.

Yep, the lists seen above are bogus.
I myself am a proud buggerer and do not appear on either list.
Russell WTF??
At one point I was the patriarch of a proud household in SD with Freriks, Mooney, the Manx and Mike Casper in residence.
OK, maybe Jonny was the patriarch.
......and no Jeff Sewell and the Mims....oh the humanity!!!!!

BITD Maria C. took me on one of my first climbs in JTree, Double Cross.
Besides being terrified of heights, I was pretty much overwhelmed by the whole climbing scene, hanging with such great climbers.
As we made our way up the climb, topping out were two young guys, one with long hair and a headband. I thought it odd that they were bleating like sheep and asked Maria about it, I couldn't believe this was a common practice. "Oh, it's nothing, they're just having fun."
Well, OK, to tell the truth it kinda fit the whole scene back then.

We just knew her as Dorothy.

And let me tell you what,
The Buggerers totally raised the hackles of the nearby Stonemasters:
... Not because they were better climbers, no.
But because they were LOUDER, and had lots more fun.
And darn it, people LIKED them.

Slim (Angione) and I had a random encounter with several key buggerers in a coffee shop in Lone Pine a number of years ago. It was The Driver, Mims and ? We were goal-less and they told us they were headed for Charlotte. We instantly committed and had a grand old time climbing the classic in 2 parties.
I did have a horrifying experience when I woke in the middle of the night. Something was happening to my face and although laying on my back I couldn't see the stars, it was a moonless night.
I was finally able to choke/spasm out a shriek of terror and the creature pulled back. It was a buck deer licking my face!!
Can anybody ID the fellow third in line there?
