I have a question for Craig Fry: Probably just before your rise to head of the Buggerers, there is a tale of your stealing Largos down jacket... then took it on a wall (you tried to climb a wall???) and spilled tuna juice and whatnot all over it. The theft went unknown until pics of you in the jacket showed up at a Randy Vogel slide show.
Elaborate please...

After all the talk about the jacket, I guess I need to set the record straight
We were in the M&M van doing the usual slander sesh (1979) with the ever present (See above post) fun bag. But it's getting cold, and I look over and Largo has this big bag of jackets, so I grab this nice down jacket out of the bag and tell him that I need to use it for a couple hours.
He's like wooo nelly there, that's my new sweet powder puff jacket I just got from a sponsor.
I'm like "Sit Down!!"
"I just need the F-ing jacket for a couple hours, so hand it over short stuff", "I'll make your sponsors proud!"
"Look, It's way too big anyway, I look like the Michelin man.!"
Well I forgot to give the jacket back at the end of the day, and the very next weekend, me and Mike L. were doing an early ascent of "The Shield". So the jacket was perfect, light, warm, big...
So on the wall
Mike is leading some pitch way up there, and he comes whipping off w/o notice,.. I'm preoccupied with other things, one thing was a can of tuna
after the can split all over me, I picked up all the chunks and put them in my pocket, I poured the rest the tuna nectar left over on the chunks for flavor.
I led the next pitch with a can of tuna in one pocket and a can of peaches in the other, I would just take a dab here and there between placements.
So later we see these photos of us on the thang, and Largo is like WTF!!!!
"That's my F-ing Jacket!!! Where is it?"
Do you really want it back dude, it's kinda dirty still.
He's like "Dude, I need that jacket for my upcoming season in the Alps!"
Well fine, here ya go, you clean it.
Then Largo has the temerity to ask "what about the gloves that were in the pockets of the jacket, where did they go?"
I'm like, "who do ya think I'm am, the Goodwill?"
(I trashed those gloves long ago)
Good luck in the Alps!!

That's funny, Craig...
How's that working for you?
The coyotes just sounded, once more at 4:45 am as usual.
Like them with all or some humility I bring this offering;
Gored on Buzzard's Peak
As we walked
we sang a favorite song
That day we set out
In a throng
It was Tobin, Larry
And the Kilmer Boys
Who'd allowed me then
To tag along
We were all of nine
To thirteen in years
On Buzzard's Peak
Our hearts were set
Hiking through
Rural suburban streets
"Norwegian Wood"
Was our favorite yet
After miles uphill
By way of brambles
We clawed our way
Up to the peak
And ate our lunch
Like hungry puppies
By then
The legs were feeling weak
On the way back down
There stood a cow
Solitary, ordinary
Chewing on her cud
And strangely enough
I took off running
I'd seen plenty of cows before
Oddly I was spooked but good
As I sprinted down the hill
The cow enlarged
Looming o'er to trample me
I cried "It's a bull, run!"
The guys all started cracking up
The beast had never budged
They said "It's just a cow!"
They laughed and had their fun
"Oh"
I said Sheepishly
As tears ran down
My freckled cheeks
We got home at sunset
All tired and scratched up
But Tobin and the Kilmer boys
Teased me about it for weeks
"It's a bull, run!"
"No, It's just a stupid cow, Tim!
It hasn't moved an inch!"
When things got tense
Or boring, Tobin quipped
"It's a Bull, no it's just a cow, Tim"
And broke the mood
In a pinch
When I was 'gored' on
Buzzard's Peak
And thought so cruel
The world could be
I knew nothing yet
Of cruelty
Or what suffering
I was still to see
All those years ago
When we were boys
We had the whole world up ahead
But now I laugh sometimes
Though life can be a bull
It's true, other times
"It's just a cow"
So placid like the bovine

Actually
Since Largo seems to be off climbing threads
I have to come clean
The roles were completely reversed.
It was My Jacket that Largo borrowed!
With full on tuna and peach detritus attached when returned
Then the photos surfaced and heatedly debated!
I may have done some embellishing "Largo style" for added entertainment value.
The Fish was trolling me about the jacket, so I went with his prod for fun.
The phrase "Who do you think I am, the Goodwill" was straight from his mouth.
and, I don't not expect full reciprocity

Sounds like Satan's Son has resurrected
Apparently he is Pure Evil and Lies about everything
What other lies can you post about me SS
Your dark side loves to jump on the bandwagon of lies, doesn't it
me and Cosmic have a deal, he lies about me, and I post him as SS
He loves it, he said to Bring it ON!
vvvvv
it saddens me that people have to lie about me to feel better
You lie, you lose

It saddens me that our once fearless leader Craig is now at this level. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
