Kon Tiki shark

"Awesome, funny it should come up as I am currently reading the RA expeditions for the 2nd time. Thor was certainly a man among men, and that's saying a lot because his fellow adventurers included some rough and rugged characters with diverse…"

my grandpa as a kid

"Interesting how things come full circle like that sometimes. I have a shot of my grandpa at a DP camp somewhere with some friends - when I was 17 (the age he was in the picture) my mom dug it up and we looked pretty much the exact same - down to the…"

Kasper replied to Andre Salvatierra's discussion I might be relocating to London permanently this year, and I'm kind of stressing out about it.
"Hey, London's great, don't worry! I may be biased as I'm born and raised here, but I like to think I have a fairly well-rounded view. My mum's Polish, my step-dad's a Kiwi and I coach volleyball and play for a club so…"

Krieg replied to Kasper's discussion What does one keep in a hip-flask?
"I have a stainless steal flask and according to the instructions (funny, you think using a flask would be the easiest thing in the world) it says you should not keep anything in it for longer than three days."

Jeff replied to Kasper's discussion What does one keep in a hip-flask?

Posted on January 1, 2010 at 1:48pm 0 Comments

Just a short blog entry from me, but i wanted to mention the passing of Knut Haugland, last surviving member of the Kon Tiki expedition of 1947. Also one of the heroes of Telemark during WWII.

Just celebrating breaking back into the top 50 manliest men. Whoop whoop. Don't know if it was really worth the pain of my break-up to afford me the time to contribute so much to the community, but there you go... Every cloud...? (Only kidding, I'm so lonely and want her back... oi vei...)

"Be silent, unless what you have to say is better than silence".

Well, there it goes, I finally dropped out of the top ten manliest manly men. I could never really expect to sustain that level of web activity but it was fun while it lasted...
