Snakeskin boots? ^^^^^^^
I'm gonna reel it in and actually get serious, hope it's not too much of a faux pas on a thread like this...
I was first directed to supertopo during the Growing Up/SFHD thread. I was immediately sucked in by the presence of legends, history, and yes, tire fires.
I had never even checked out online forums before.
I started lurking around. I passed by the political shît and clicked on a thread titled "This is a climbing thread" or something like that.
It was far from it. Page after page of perfect butts, boobs, and bodies helped break the monotony of the GU and Obama threads.
I checked it daily {{-;
Then one day it was gone.
Apparently that guy locker had taken it a bit too far and gotten 86'd.
Then I witnessed something pretty fûcking cool.
The community, yes community, rallied for him to be let back in.
Locker apologized sincerely, revealing struggles he'd been experiencing in his personal life. He expressed his gratitude and with his classic self deprecating sense of humor titled himself the "Villiage Idiot".
I liked this guy.
Although he didn't include a Jolly Rancher with his resoles like Jules used to, i liked that he did dirty work for us climbers.
I liked that he loved Josh. I liked that he posted pictures of him roasting, at Josh(two great tastes that go great together).
I liked that he didn't take it all to seriously.
Soon he was back to his old shenannigans of posting epic lingerie shots, thank god.
So Locker,
Thanks bro, it was you- your meltdown/comeback, herb smoking, humor- that really enamored me to supertopo.
There will always be big names and legends but it's the everyday weirdos in climbing that make our "tribe" so rich.
Here's to locker!
Okay, does this get me a discount on a resole?

^^^ what drljefe said.
seems like locker has gotten--banned? nuked? crushed?--more than once? or just once? it's like getting fired from a job, then the boss realizes no one else does the job as well for such little pay and finds an excuse to hire you back. you feel more at home when that happens and you probably don't make exactly the same mistake twice.

poor Locker,
pour Locker a drink,
already for the old folks home at 57, wtf, over?

Hey Locker, I'll be in your neck of the woods probably later this week...
I'd come by and "cheer you up" but it doesn't sound like it would work.

One day I ended up in this place with a cover band-they said request ANY song you want, we can play them all-so the above was the Jimi song I requested-... and yes they stumbled a bit, stopped started stopped, and finally concluded it was too difficult and they couldn't play it. Jimi was a master musician-from his guitar skills (maybe the best), to his lyrics...
I love the zep too, and anyway All Hail Locker you ramble on over there and get over that damn superflu...
Here's another-my all time fave zep-
