Thanks for bringing this thread up from the mine, Munge. Holding that hammer's like putting your own mitts in the handprints at Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

If anyone wants to take it to the stone, contact Mike. The offer stands.

This reminds me of the Red Couch Project and the companion book that came out. Good stuff.

Thanks for that Cosmic. Fun image of JB. Plays right into the mystical powers theme he always had. Loved it too bitd.

when i see the stream
of words connected as such,

"JIM BRIDWELL'S HAMMER,"

i envision a selectively passive passage,
where's one's understanding does not fit into the collective logic.
so what does the wielder of jim's retired hammer do?

she explosively expresses, until the collective logic
accepts unwillingly, her input.

mucci?
lars?
anyone?

munge?

by and by the mountain accepts us as jockeys.
though not always gracefully are we welcomed.

sometimes we need to swing with extra verve.
bridwell invented a new verve.

i could never wear jim's briefs.
i'd definitely fall out of their side,
and go winging uncontrolled into an
oblivion that i was not equipped for.

what i learned from bridwell?
when reality wont accept me,
i just keep shouving harder.

soon, yields occur.
thresholds explode.
dynamite's envious.

and tomorrow is now pregnant,
as the semen of today's tragedy
marinates the egg of yesterday's hope.

Just a bump and then I'll let it go.

This was one of his experiments from what I know. Maybe Todd, Jim or others could weigh in.

I'd love to to see this back on a wall.

worthy Cosmic!


Norwegian, definitely not your run of the mill route...

I sort of figured the ShutEye crew would have grabbed onto some it.


Perhaps a Sierra peak by some East Sider.


Then maybe some random trip to another state for a short craggy ground up ascent.

Hammer is coming my way. First thing I plan to smash with that thing is my thumb. Maybe I can pass it along to someone in the Shuteye crew this summer.

John, Todd - I'll be getting the Paypal donation through shortly.
