Remember when we were camped back at the scene of the crime, of the Gargoyle/VW bus cliffhanger incident by the El Portal sewage treatment plant, and I tried to blow up that propane cylinder while making coffee???
... And then you, Russ, backed away and fell off the edge of the road into the rocks and bushes?
That was in the same timeframe as the Garg story... we were in your rig, way late at night making some spro... cuz that's how we did it....
You had like a mini cab over or something on your truck... anyway... making spro and something goes haywire with the stove... a gas lantern is going too... propane starts spewing out of a cylinder and makes all the air milky in the little RV... and there is an open flame with the lantern... I'm in some bunhuggers (summer, dont ask) and bail the rig and start walking away from the soon to explode vehicle... and step off backwards of the bridge that marks the forest service boundary.
I'm flying backwards through the air and land in a giant poison oak bush! WTF??? I take an immediate dirt bath and scrub everything twice... then get in the creek to finish the job. Never did get the oak on that one. Lucky!!

Okay Russ,
Now break out the story where STRAPPO rode a bicycle into the MR Bar, NUDE, then bonked his head and passed out!?

I think that was Darryl Hatten on the bike...
Strappo jumped up on the bar-top naked, with a cocktail toothpick crossways into his anteater foreskin, yelled something like "beware my hammerhead shark" then ran down the bar until he took the main roof beam in the forehead. Lights out, naked, hammerhead foreskin intact, laying on the bar unconscious.
You mean that story??
How about Powell and the MellowDick™™™ routine in the 4 Seasons? That is some funny sh#t too.

Roy, You are on fire!! You are my new hero for making me feel so special. Continue getting those photos up, good job!
Doug, thanks for the great pics...so many awesome memories ; )
Fishy, your stories make me laugh to the point of tears...
I even got teary eyed seeing the buggerers at the Weeping Wall.
How many lambs were born unto those buggers anyway?

The Aussies running around semi naked with flaming newspaper secured in their ass holes was memorable. That story is ... LEGEND.
...............................................................
Yes, the old lounge, before it was the MR Bar.
A couple/three years before the changeover, that's where David Evans and I first spotted Bobbi Bensman ...
When she was fresh off the bus from Arizona and just a 19-year-old skinny climber girl with a bandanna over her hair, stretching out on the floor in a full splits.

^^^ Is that prior/post bull ride? I heard staying on those bad boys for 8 seconds is a piece of cake. True?

I think we should start a Manx appreciation thread. When I think back of all the fun times and the things he did for me, there must be others that Kent helped out. He even gave me a place to crash a few times. One of my fondest memories is digging out of school, meeting up with the Manx and going to Santa Anita and betting ($2) on all the grey horses that day. They ALL came in. I thought their muscles looked bigger ; ) I came home with $140 and thought I was rich!
Another vivid memory of Kent is when I got the flu while living in Tuolumne, I believe the summer of '80. Burning up with fever, The Manx picked me up and put me in the back seat of my '66 Dart, and drove me to the hospital in Bishop. They gave me a shot of penicillin then made we wait to see if there would be any adverse reaction. As soon as we got back to the car I started projectile vomiting in the parking lot. I think E was on the Captain.
Any Manx stories out there?? After all, he was a real bugger...
Moonie, thx for firing up those memories.
Did you ever share how The Fish got his name? We are all curious...please do share : )

Oh, and Vikki ...
You asked about Sheep Buggerer progeny.
Buggerers in whirligig caps. Joe Boys in sombreros.
L-R Tony Montiel, Russ Walling, Greg Byrne, Larry Stone, John Freriks

 Tony Montiel, alive and well, not sure about kids.
Russ Walling is like performance art: you only get one shot, so no proj.
Greg Byrne, with his wife Luresa, have a boy named Clayton.
Larry Stone, girlfriend, no progeny.
John Freriks, married with a son, who is also a talented runner.
Doug Munoz, (Buggerer, not pictured), with his wife Joan, have a son named Sid.
Jeff Sewell, (Joe Boy, not pictured) remarried to the lovely Cynthia, has four kids from a previous marriage.
Dave Bruckman and Joe Hedge, both Joe Boys, both single, no kids.
I'm happily married to Lisa.
But, like Russ, no kids … With me you only get one match to light!
.....................................................................
I agree about Sheep Buggerer, Kent Sparks.
All us LA boys were LOUD. He had a different temperament.
A big shout out to MANXY-DUDE!

Roy, Thanks for filling me in...I don't always recognize folks.
Since I'm listed as a bugger under The Fish on some list, I have twin sons that will be 23 yrs. in July...time sure flies when you're having fun. Turned out to be awesome young men, trying to save the world and all that. I'll try to dig up a pic with all of us in it. Don't take many, don't carry a smart phone.
I'm totally looking forward to the next chapter...180 degree lifestyle change. Thinking about early retirement ; ) Stay tuned. Aloha, V
