( I jest about Mr. Donini's frankness. I don't have the seniority in the climbing community or the sway on this forum to legitimately honor him.)
...is it true JD and Cesare Maestri were going to co-author a cookbook titled, Rigatoni, Patagonia and Testosteroni? And is it true that every gourmet concoction the Spider of the Dolomites offered, Jim spewed out of his mouth and muttered "disgusting"...especially culinary collaborations with Cesarino Fava.
Wow! That's pretty unequivocal.
So the cookbook never happened. Given Signor Maestri's volatile nature...perhaps he read Mr Donini's curt comments, on this very forum, doubting his lionhearted ascent of Cerro Torre... tore up the book contract, threw the pieces to the wind...
...and demanded Jim return his friendship ring!
Sad there won't be a Patagonia cookbook...perhaps both gentlemen will grace us with collections of their religious sonnets...

Dear Donini,
When you said "never trust a fart and never waste a hard-on", what did that mean?

Here is an older image of mine I caught when Maestri and J-Do were debating before the World Sushi Summit:
and then later, when J-Do was in Calcutta living with the needy in a vow of poverty and chastity:

Dear Donini, Oh venerable Master, I need your wusdom. As I have grown older, I have found that my eyebrow hair has become uncontrolable. It's like it has a mind of it's own. Delicatly balanced on my stance, sending my 5.7b pink point , suddenly it strikes. Straight for the eyeball! Forcing me to retreat in dishonour. I have heard that you have overcome this by intense training and meditation. Is it true that you must climb with a full rack of only blue camalots, but never place any. All this while dry-tooling shitty rock on some ice chocked , avalance prone, 8,000 mt peak, with no food or water while listing to your insane partner rant about the slander he recieved on super taco. Then you must carefully braid the eye brow hair, which has stood on end due to intense fright, while on lead?I have heard that your eyebrow hair is a silver rope of braided glory.

Dear Donini,
Is it true that if I keep eating Luna bars I will grow boobies & have the urge to go shopping & get mani-pedi's?
Your advice & experience is appreciated.

Dear Donini,
Is Overhang Overpass really a free route?
