The state of quantum flux

It's all in the angle of the dangle, grandma...
This thread could always benefit from some more Tobin.
I've never seen this photo by Shawn Curtis of Tobin on The Void.

I'm really slammed with work issues this last couple weeks...
Couple stories I'd like to tell soon and post here when I have more time;
Tobin's stoned North Overhang solo at dusk...
It was the only time I ever saw him smoke pot, it was well before he was born again.
Also, recollections of climbing with a stalwart EE on the Salathe.

Have to head out to the equipment yard this morning and rewire the lighting on an old brush chipper. So long for now...

Also, as a birds eye witness to Nick Badyrka's enormous Newtonian nose slapping launch off 'Wrinkle in Time,' and as a close recipient of the red wine/chocolate soft cone after-launch in the back of my Beetle afterwards, I only wish I could remember who I was climbing with on Cibola (I think) at the time, and who all else was there that day...although I'm positive it was during the summer of '81, because that was the year I had the rusty red VW Bug.

looking sketchy there...

I used to smoke the butts BITD and was climbing with Matt Cox and some others in the Hall of Horrors, and there abouts one weekend. He had this annoying habit I quite enjoyed, every time I went to spark a match to light my smoke before a route, he'd swiftly lean over and blow it out, I mean quick as lightning every time. He probably added a good ten minutes to my lifespan that weekend.

Tim,
Thanks for the sharing...looking forward to more stories with pics. V

looking sketchy there- LOL, that's what my Italian father thought also,
couldn't understand a damn thing we were talking about! Constantly, telling us to stop using the word "Man!" and to say something he could understand.
When we talked, my friends thought we were yelling at each other and it tripped them out.."why are you and your dad yelling at each other?"..."we're not yelling, we're just having a conversation!" The LA slang was heavy BITD. I got most of my vocabulary from Frank Zappa and the Fish. The Fish got most of his lingo from shows like Dragnet, many of the shows on MeTV today, and black kids. LOL those were the daze!

One of my early encounters with the Sheepbuggers was at the Hall of Horrors in Josh. It seems that a group of them were making an assault on Grit Roof. Wishing to observe the goings on without being noticed, we approached from the back side of the boulder filled gap between the formations. You could tunnel under the boulders to a point where you emerged near the base of Dog Day Afternoon.

We huddled at that spot and listened to the proceedings. We couldn't really understand what they were saying. It was like some local dialect or street language so foreign to us that we were dumbfounded. We felt as though we were witnessing some manner of "generation gap."

Later, as we got to know these characters, it was obvious they were demented in their own special way...just like us.

Team B

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Team B was a competitive analysis exercise commissioned by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to analyze threats the Soviet Union posed to the security of the United States. In May 1976, President Gerald Ford invited a group of outside experts to evaluate classified intelligence on the Soviet Union. The purpose behind the invitation was to put a fresh pair of eyes on the same data-sets that analysts within the intelligence community were looking at. The intelligence community was in the process of putting together its own assessment on the Soviet threat as the Team B panel of outside experts produced its assessment. Team B, approved by then Director of Central Intelligence George H. W. Bush, was composed of "outside experts" who attempted to counter the positions of intelligence officials within the CIA.[1] Team B concluded that the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on the Soviet Union, generated yearly by the CIA, underestimated Soviet military power and misinterpreted Soviet strategic intentions. Its findings were leaked to the press shortly after Jimmy Carter's 1976 presidential election win in an attempt to appeal to anti-communists in both parties and not appear partisan.[2][3]

The Team B reports became the intellectual foundation for the idea of "the window of vulnerability" and of the massive arms buildup that began toward the end of the Carter administration and accelerated under President Ronald Reagan.[4]

And you thought we were just some select group of elite hottie locals from OC... NO way
It was CIA all the way,,, it's all documented in wikipedia

This is one of my first ever aid leads at 13/14 yrs. old. It is on the diatomaceous earth cliff at the NW corner of Upper Newport Bay.

They call it "earth" for a reason, it ain't rock.

Note the blue suede shoes and home made sewn etriers.

Russ posted this link from 10 years ago

so classic
I guess Hashbro deleted it after 53 posts, since it doesn't have a title

It's funny to see these old threads with all of Dr. F posts deleted
(nice job RJ)

But I remember the fun interaction me and Tar had with "straightandnarrow"

And then there was the time that Dr. F and I tried to find some solitude together up in the Space Cave.

We only had three condoms, the morning was fast approaching and a group of teenagers were scrambing up to the Cave for there own party.
Once the teens arrived the temperature cool significantly.

Dr. F/EE,

Don't bicker over Tarbuster, he's mine! Mr. Buster and I go way back, especially in bed.

Dr. F, you and I spent quite a bit of time making babies; luckily none were made.

Time sure does fly don't it?

I did a search on her,
from another thread

Firstly, due to our personal history, I'd have to have assurance that you would not "try anything" with me as I am no longer heterosexual and I've heard you are married. Secondly, due to my fairly huge sexual appetite, I'd have to have latitude to bring a selection of dildos (and other sexual apparatti) on the job so that I can stay centered between orgasms.

Let me know your thoughts,

Jen

Wow!!!
