See the look on the dude's face on front and center in the large image:
I was feeling like that guy today... "goddamn kids.. you pipsqueaks put that camera down and clean up that mess!" Then I got pissed off at the poor design of our kitchen water filter and threw it into the sink and called it a mofo.
But then I had a laugh at myself and lightened up. Glad I'm not that guy. He probably stayed pissed off for weeks on end and rotted his liver out drinking the CC Club. PO'd 60's dad... reminds me of my own who is still roaming the country somewhere pissed at something.
Did some of those other photos get swiped from the Stonemasters book?
Yeah, I'm in a weird mood tonight. :-)

P.S. I'm a single malt or Kentucky bourbon kind of guy myself.

Eric,
Hate to break it to you...but...see the guy behind and to the right of Mr. Big Dad Front-n-Center? The guy that looks like a dark-haired Ken doll? Mr. Mannequin with the perfect hair, perfect skin, and perfect teeth?
Can you say METROSEXUAL EXTRAORDINAIRE???
Mebbe even ga-ga-ghey?
Birds of a feather, dude. Birds of a feather... ;-)

LOL, L.... I was wondering about that guy... I just knew something was up with him! Every pack has one, I guess.

Oh wow. I think I have uncovered a hideous plot done by Canadians. I think Canada has been attempting to brain wash us for many many years now by putting something in Canadian club that turns strong willed, independent people into weak wristed socialist loving national health care demanding pussies.
Just think about it. Canadians couldn't stand to live next door to a nation of people who stood on their own, thus revealing how big a pussies Canadian's were. National health care is for pussies. Plus they were afraid that some day our gigantic ego's would cause us to invade them, ( this could likely be very true ) hence, they devised a plan to turn American's into pussies by selling them a whisky "BLEND". OMG.. Just think about it. No Canadian drinks a "BLEND". They know that "BLENDS" turn strong willed people into limp wristed wussies.
This has been a devious plot all along. aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.. WAKE UP PEOPLE AND SAVE AMERICA. DON'T DRINK BLENDS. aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

Single malt whiskey RULES. Blends SUCK
Kinda goes without saying, you'd think.
Still, I remember one climbing trip in the coast range some years back. Turned out one of the group had brought a blended whiskey. We couldn't believe it. Didn't quite know what to do at first, but in the end we just threw him in a crevasse and finished the climb without him.
And without the blended swill he'd offered us.

true irish whiskey comes in a mayonaise jar (i'm told by my dazed cousins from galway who cook it up that it eats any cork in a matter of days). that and it will (not just "might") surely explode, if you dare smoke anywhere near it. only the rokshi that the khatmandu took-took drivers drink is more explosive.
if you dare doubt this, i have a couple inches left in a mayonaise jar back home. save your cash, and maybe i might bring some by next time i'm home (your home is not all that far from mine). you'll melt like the wicked witch of the west...
~~~
and yeah, Moosie, why is it that single malt is never sweet -- and yet the "blends" (especially those marked "Canadian") are always so sweet they are unswallowable? did Faulkner summer in canada? i myself suspect General Ripper was right -- "that's the way your hard core commie mind works." though Seagrams has long been owned by Amerikanskis. odd...
~~~
as for Metrosexuals, i once, when i was like 19, asked my dad what he and my mom considered before they had the 7 of us. my dad just looked at me like i was from another planet (which, perchance, i am) and said "Plan? -- Hell! I just woke up one morning and WHAMMO! - i was suddenly the father of seven howling rug rats."
this specific image haunted the absolute crap out of me for at least a decade. i'd wake up most every morning and look around -- fearing the WHAMMO! part. perhaps this is just a just-off-the-boat-irish-catholic kinda thing. but oh, all the mindless acrobatic sex i missed out on solely for the fear of the "WHAMMO!" part. unfair.
fwiw, my dad (in his youth) looked precisely like "that other guy" in the OP photo -- and yet, even for him, WHAMMO!
oh, the FEAR! (and how fast genuine poteen cracks through it...)

Ah, DMT, I knew you could be counted on for getting at the core of this!
Tami: Southern Comfort.... eeeeuuuhh!!!!! What were you thinking?
"Plan? -- Hell! I just woke up one morning and WHAMMO! - i was suddenly the father of seven howling rug rats."
pip... that had me howling... especially since I grew up amongst Irish Catholics in New England (we were mostly Polish Catholic, but that's another story). Actually, as the father of four I kind of have the same feeling: Damn... where the hell did all these kids come from???!!!!

No, Southern Comfort is okay. It's so bad that it's good in a weird sort of way. Particularly on long winter ski trips.
And just so you know, this business of Tami saying "I'll go sit in the car now" has more to it than you realize. When she and I traveled together by car there was usually a bottle of single malt whiskey in the vehicle with us. Now we haven't done any traveling together for a while, but old habits do die hard, and I'll bet you anything that while you think she's out there being miserable and lonely, she's actually pouring shots of the good stuff and laughing her ass off at how she fooled you.

over the years i've never had the notion of her as sad nor lonely, more like incredibly in touch and observant.

"Sit in the car." Sounds like some guys I used to work with who were always having "meetings on the roof."
Gotta share the good stuff... it's more fun!
