Some fail softly. Others gatecrash disaster with sparklers in their hair. This woman opts for greatness, meaning the “gatecrashing disaster on fire with horn blaring” choice. Enjoy.

I like how she turns to the dude and says it again. Almost like a “Fuck that was outloud wasn’t it” kinda deal.

COWolverine says:
I want to see the clip after they bring the guy out for an interview. I’m betting because of his blindness, he doesn’t realize that he dresses himself like Elton John so after seeing the guy, the anchor woman couldn’t get the suspicion that he was gay out of her head.
He was probably wearing a Hawaiian shirt, and I bet he’s not a big fat party animal…

That sucks, that guy is pretty awesom and was actually my commencement speaker at BC because he was also a grad.
Sucks b/c he is a good dude and does a lot of positive work in the blind community, now all the other blind guys are going to be giving him the limp wristed handshake

We like the implication that being gay would make climbing difficult. As in, “Interior designer on loose–tree ‘em!”

I can say from having met Eric that his story is pretty amazing. He’s a far better climber than I’ll ever be and I’m not gay. Whoops, I mean blind. Seriously, though, check him out because he has done a lot more blind than most of us couch jockeys would even think of accomplishing. Just do a web search for his name and you’ll find a lot of links about his accomplishments.

hey, i tried climbing once, but my limp wrist really made it difficult. luckily, a big old lesbian just threw me over her shoulder and carried me up.
though i did rip my Louis manbag.

Todd Cleary (wedding crashers) to Eric the gay climber: I made you a painting. I call it “Celebration.” It’s sexual and violent. I thought you might like it.

In all seriousness, Eric is a mean, mean climber. He did El Cap blind, which is much like pulling off brain surgery using chopsticks held in your teeth.

It’s the pointing for emphasis that gets me.
when I fail miserably, I try to break out the flaming batons and portable cassette player with a medley of patriotic tunes featuring “Grand old Flag” and “Stars and Stripes”. Major diversion.

RowdyRoddyPiper says:
I mean we are neglecting the possibility that this guy could be gay, but I’d imagine the whole blindness thing ups the degree of difficulty while climbing more than being into dudes.

TomB says:
It wasn’t so much that he was gay that made the climbing difficult in and of itself. It was the fact he kept breaking into showtunes on the way up, resulting in avalanches.
If he could just learn to keep his mouth shut……er, as it were.

Just like Aubies, always jealous of the popular kid. I’d have an inferiority complex, too, if my school’s student body was comprised of kids who think a good time after a football game is TPing campus.
