Brian Nystrom Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 There's a rumble on the street that a prominent NSPN fixture and BCU 5 star trainee - we'll call him "Mr. L" - has recently been sighted paddling with long skinny sticks that smell suspicously like cedar. He's reportedly been spotted wearing a long, black hooded neoprene garment and rolling a kayak with what appeared to be a rock in his hand! Is this just a masquerade perpetrated by the "Walden Pond Scum" to sully his reputation or is it further evidence of the insidious nature of the dreaded "Greenland Disease"? Can this madness EVER be stopped? Can Mr. L be saved?? Will he ever actually PADDLE his kayak again or is he doomed to a life of endless rolling in one spot??? Can a trip to Wales cleanse his tortured soul????Stay tuned to this site for updates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Nystrom Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 ...he appears to be consoling a painfully afflicted individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick stoehrer Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 mr luby has a team of physicians all concerned with this very predilection towards rolling about, never actually going anywhere while holding onto twigs, rocks or just having his hands behind his head. well, that and his rather pale, chicken legs... in any event, the photo bears witness to a panopoly of ailments.travel abroad has been prescribed and those of us that know and love him can only hope that his sense of euro-centric paddling can be happily and firmly restored.

scamlin Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I dunno, Rick: the get up he's wearing looks like a monk's robe and with the beard and the intense stare, it appears he's taken some kind of vow. Wales may have Euro paddles, but they practice strange rites, live in spartan quarters and drink strong brews. Seems to me he's a goner.So watch out for your brethern over there and make sure he gets back in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick stoehrer Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 if it comes down to it, we've discussed excorcism. hell, we're going to be in angesley with a guy named nigel and tom is going to be there....this is akin to a holy pilgrimage...a paddling haj to bring jed back to the fold.maybe one night in the pub we can perform the sacred rituals...."demon twig, be gone! we cast you out!" or something like that and then we hoist a tastey ale.or of course we could accept that while "twigging" is different, it's just one more discipline to learn from. in keeping with the whole mock religious aspect, our own jed would be a prophet (jedidiah?) wandering, seeking knowledge and we know that he will return to his tribe with what he has seen and learned and that it just makes the tribe stronger. of course most of those guys were half nuts....hey....wait a minute....
