Thank God. I thought this was going to be about that hideous El Cap Virus. Man.. people who get that are never the same again. All they ever want to talk about is climbing the Captain. They don't want to talk about politics. They don't want to talk about religion. Just El Cap all the time. Its hideous man. Maybe some times they talk about beer or brewing coffee, but most of the time its just climbing the Captain.

Whew... dodged that bullet.

Bar stool races and historical plaques. I have known a couple of these fellows. What more can I say? I have some relatives in Sonora that call them "Clampers". All I know is second or third hand knowledge, except that one time when I was trying to buy some...

I worked construction with a "clamper" that would shake like Muhammad Ali til he pounded a tall boy on our first break. It was pretty funny watching him trying to use his hammer in the morning.

I was awoken once by an awful racket at around 6am on a Saturday. I looked out my front window to see a man in a dress drinking a Budweiser mowing my neighbor's yard singing something like "C@#k sucker mother f@#ker who the f@#K are we, whitey tighty god all mighty we're a sight to see!" I spoke to my neighbor later and found out that whole scene was just the tail end of a clamper innitiation that began the night before. I'm in no hurry to sign up myself but I guess those guys do a lot of good for their communities (in addition to their shameless debauchery). I also got the watch my Clamper neighbor wrestle a couple of cops after drunkenly ridding his Harley down a foot path in our neighbor hood park! ECV!
