The American Legend left us recently, but his spirit still stalks the internet. As in this amazing gem he created (from the raw material so plentiful here on ST) and donated to the world six years ago...

OMG: pure GOLD!
But then ... This:
LEB, her entire intellectual and social life is warehoused on the Internet and she has no actual peer group in real life which is why she posts to Supertopo Christ, I fit that bill, except I'm a he.
Kind of liked Lois too, WTF?

Lol! I kinda liked Lois too, Roy...in between being supremely annoyed by her need to monopolize and derail every thread she stumbled upon.
However, you comparing your life on the Taco to hers is like comparing oranges to rabbit turds: They're both round...but that's where the similarities end.
You're a climber. You have history with many of the people on this site. Did I mention you're a climber? You enhance the threads you post to, and you OP many excellent threads on top of that. And besides that, you're a climber...and always will be.

That is pretty funny. What ever happened to LEB? Was she evicted or did she go away on her own?

Hilarious! I miss bvb too. :-(
Thanks for that Ghost. I watched some of the other videos on bvb's channel, including Bob going 110 mph in the Black Rock desert at Burning Man back in 1994. Interesting to see what BM was like then..... just a few sculptures, and none of the elaborate costumes that are so common now.

Please fill us in on who this LEB character was. I vaguely recall her posting (with a heinously ugly profile pic) but never found any of her threads interesting or relevant. Was she just a troll? If she wasn't a climber, why did she even bother posting on here? Did she ever give an explanation for it? Did anyone ever discover her real identity?

I was talking with locker recently about Lois.
He said he had many off-line chats with her and enjoyed them, but was never quite sure.
I don't think trolls by and large have the manic persistence that she displayed.
And as Reilly pointed out, she was exceedingly patient and polite.
LEB: real person, genuine interest, and yes, a strange bird.
BVB: now there was a one-of-a-kind, totally up front, brilliantly hilarious individual!

Actually, WBITD, LEB really was a climber!
Rare archival find, camp 4 parking lot, when she was just a footloose lassie:
This is of course, during her transitional Betty Crocker days:
And then she took up residence with the rest of us TacoBenders™:

Lol! Thanks for the post.
“her entire intellectual and social life is wharehoused on the internet and she has no actual peer group in real life”
“comparing your life on the taco to hers is like comparing apples to oranges”
I always wonder how this stuff works, maybe kind of like LEB. Do we really know about LEB’s life? Or are we comparing apples to imaginary oranges, and using our imagination to decide that we’ve determined that they’re not the same, outside of our imagination.
My sense is that anyone still posting to this board must have at least one screw loose.

I think most of us here hardly have any screws tightened.
