The Haints

His face is deliberately obscured, but that is the RRCC's own Roy DeSha on tub playing Wednesday nights at The Basement for The Pine Hill Haints.

















The giveaways for Roy were:

1. The sleeveless orange UT shirt
2. The waterproof paddling gloves
3. The Haints first single is called "Tennessee River Rambler"

Good song. And that is definitely the hottest hillbilly-skateboard-punk washboard player we've ever seen.

Desparately Seeking a Brew

Wait til Lizzie Garrigan gets hold of this.
























No glass!



















No glass.


















Still no glass.





















No. Fucking. Glass.

Monkey Man

We finally have a scientific explanation for the mating ritual witnessed at Dan McGuinness Pub during the National Championship game.




















Female baboons experience drastic swelling of the genital area during their estrous cycle which signals males it is time for mating. Moreover, estrus chimps and other primates, including baboons and the gorilla, go to great lengths to focus male attention on their buttocks, which they may flaunt and display by swaying them “enticingly” (Fedigan, 1992; Ford & Beach, 1951). If a desired male fails to respond, she may approach him by walking backward, and may sway her swollen derriere in his face, at which point she may run away only to repeat her performance if he still does not react (Ford & Beach, 1951; Nadler, 1976; Schaller, 1964). When a female goes into estrus she will solicit males by presenting and shaking her swollen bottom while looking “coyly” over her shoulder (Schaller, 1964; Wallis 1992). Or she may approach the recumbent male by walking backwards and will stare at him over her shoulder, puckering her lips “invitingly” while tipping her buttocks in the standard dorsal-ventral mating posture. If he doesn’t respond she will rub her genitals against him or will stare at or touch his penis, or may sit on his lap and tease and motivate him to copulate.

Just to clarify - this is only an analogy and we're not calling anyone a baboon. Baboons are more subtle, anyway.

Winterfest

Slight change of plans for the 19th. Instead of eating at Sportsman's,

has offered to be our next RRCC celebrity chef.


We will still gather with our misplaced (now moldy) gear at 7:00 pm at

's house and then go look for Rob's triangle gong after dinner.

Bring your checkbooks for the fall trip and also so we can pay

www.canoeing.org

The links to important RRCC web pages have been updated on the right. There are all kinds of resources there now. You can buy your own Big Daddy, check the river levels, register for the '06 Demolition Derby, and find other paddling and club related stuff. The last one, www.canoeing.org is kind of "The Crying Game" of canoeing sites. It has a surprising twist.

I don't know how they got that domain name, but The Paddling Bares Canoe Club has a mission statement that we fully endorse: "We are a group of canoeists and kayakers who are also naturists (we enjoy nude recreation)." We'd put it on our logo if it would fit.













The RRCC also endorses the PBCC code of conduct: "Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated. Because many of our trips are into remote locations and because we place the utmost emphasis on safety, our trips are alcohol-free."
