You’ll have to excuse the lack of real posting. I’m on a youtube kick today.

    is he gay, blind, or both?

    and how could you possibly confuse the two? there’s nothing conceptually or phonetically similar enough to inspire that kind of Freudiam slip.

    Jesus, everyone and his uncle climbs Everst these days. Is it really so notable that a gay guy would do it?

    Hell, it’s not even notable anymore that a blind guy would do it.

    He’s just blind, not gay. It’s totally a Freudian slip.

    How many jokes could start out with “So a gay blind man climbs Mount Everest….” :P

    That was the weirdest slip. What the heck was she thinking???

    She must have meant something like, “He’s gay–oh, I mean blind–blind to the Truth and Love of our Lord and Savior, that is!”

    But if you got two gay blind guys and had them climb Mount Everest in the dark and make passionate love on the summit, you’d get…a nasty case of frostbite with a really good story behind it?

    Under the categories of Small World and Interesting Past… The mountain climber in question once slept in Zuzu’s basement…. For real.

    Yes.

    Erik stayed in our basement in, I think, the summer of 1985 or so.

    My brother Den was a wrestler, and in the summer, wrestlers tried out for the junior olympics wrestling team in Iowa, and Northern Iowa University.

    Since my high school had a gigantic indoor gym, the statewide tryouts were held in our school for the wrestling camp that served as the Iowa tryouts.

    Erik stayed with us, along with another wrestler, during the Iowa tryouts.

    I remember we took Erik because we were willing to host his guide dog, Wizard, since we had a dog.

    But Wizard had to stay in the basement because our dog didn’t get along with Wizard.

    I also remember that the other wrestler who stayed with us watched the Iran-Contra hearings with us while Erik was in the basement with his guide dog.

    That, and my mother was all concerned that neither of them ate more than broiled fish and steamed vegetables. My brother was in the Heavyweight class, so he never had to suck weight, but these guys did. I think the entire family lost weight when they were staying with us.

    Hee hee… which right there says how long ago this all was since the girls haven’t been perky since two kids ago….

    That definitely proves he was gay.

    And I probably shouldn’t mention this… but he had a mullet back then.

    HA! The way the other guy just sort of opens his mouth. Wow, that’s just classic.

    And here I was hoping that the gays had finally gotten someone to plant their gay-diation device somewhere where it could reach the whole world and turn us gay, in accordance with the gay agenda.

    But here it’s just another handicapped guy climbing that mountain. Like anyone’s going to top that guy with no legs.

    Did I say gay, over and over again? I meant blind. The blind agenda.

    Ahh, the local New Mexico news.

    I wish someone had on YouTube the time local broadcaster Dick Knipfing was talking about a candelight vigil but pronounced it like the spanish last name…vee-hill. I laughed for like an hour.

    Erik Weihenmayer is married, actually – to a woman, I mean. They got married at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. But regardless of his actual sexual orientation, weirdest Freudian slip evah.

    There is a longer clip on YouTube which also includes the climber’s reaction when they cut to him after the break- he thought it was hilarious.
