I could never understand why Mike Waugh wasn't crowned strongest climber in SoCal. He was the only climber I ever saw fire the low traverse on the Pile-ups boulder. He owned that problem the same as Bachar owned 'Midnight Lightning.' Plus, he had that great haircut all of us shared to some extent except Mike Jaffe. I'm certain it held, or hid the key to his power. A veritable Samson.

Blahblahblah-- Every fun fact and detail is true to the best of my recollection. I don't need to embellish, tweak, distort, warp, eliminate or fabricate, because I'm not trying to impress anyone with what I write.

Finally, on what planet was 'Drum,' now 'Bali Shag' equivalent to Burpweiser? You have got to be effing kidding me! Spaten Optimator, more like. 'Bugler' is Bud, 'Top' is Coors. Sure, Drum was the most common shag, enjoying perhaps 1% market share among lung cancer aficionados. That's great, you and your buddies all smoked it, you know quality. I never ran into your group in L.A.

If someone saw me smoking and asked to bum one I'd reply It's a rolling cigarette. If they didn't walk off in disgust I'd produce the blue pouch, only to hear 'Oh, Bugler. I smoked that when I was locked up at county.' If I handed the pouch over they'd look blankly at it, then ask for a paper. 'They're inside.' The pouch would be opened, a paper peeled off, then using their thumb and first three fingers they'd pull enough tobacco for five cigarettes, laboriously spend five minutes trying to assemble the thing, eventually producing a pregnant mutation of a cigarette barely held together. I'd give them a light causing chunks of burning tobacco to fall from it. They'd never thank me, just turn around and shamble off, usually going about a block before throwing the cigarette at the ground in disgust because it wouldn't burn right.
