"There are three kinds of climbers at Arapiles; orange haired dung punchers with fake american accents, skinny punks who fall of 26's all day, and the good blokes like us who drink a six pack of piss then go climbing." -Gerry Narkowicz from an article in Screamer about a hundred years ago.

After watching myself lead a climb then lower to the ground, a tourist approaches me and asks are you finished or just starting? then asked whats harder going up or down?, I looked at him puzzled wondering if he was taking the piss

I just love the 'chuck a brown eye' turn of phrase. As if you throw it in some way, or aggresively point it at some one. Awesome.

A mate and I were coming out of the surf at Phillip Island, ankle deep in the water with our boards under our arms and dripping wet. A passing dude asks "Been surfing?"

~> a legitimate question!
I saw a couple of blokes once at Bells Beach wax up their boards, go down to the surf , dive in/get wet, come back up to the cars and proceed to tell passers by how awesome it was; ... all while I looked on in disbelief while eating a late breaky due to having been out in the better waves happening all morning...
