Blog Guy, you’re something of a wordsmith, right?
Well, I do know my way around a phone book or whatever you call those thick things.
I heard a colorful expression yesterday and I can’t seem to find out what it means. It was, “As lucky as a short cat in Kathmandu.”
Hmmmm. I can only guess at that one, because, you know, I don’t do actual research.
But it seems to me if you were at a beauty pageant in Nepal, and you were really, really short, under the right circumstances you could see all the way to Everest. So to speak.
All the way to Everest? Blog Guy, would you let your readers’ comments use such innuendo?
Such what?

Methinks looking to mount Everest may be a little overly ambitious here. He’ll need a sherpa just to get to first base camp.
That guy’s expression,in the last pic,is priceless.. LOL!!!
And I like the black shoes…
Doc, I sure hope sherpa isn’t something dirty. I’m going to have to trust you on this one.
Hey now…it’s a Mini-Pimp.
He takes a smaller cut.
He’s a little short-tempered though….
HA HA HA yeah little dude you go for yours! Those are some niiice legs!
Thapa sees England, Thapa sees France, Thapa can see Miss Nepal’s … no! Must think of Mr. Spam Filter.
I have it on good authority that Thapa is the only person to have sucessfully flown Basler Air twice.
Of course, when he started out he was over six feet tall.
Literally laughing out loud at this one,and the comments. That is one happy short dude.
C’mon BG, you know the Sherpas – they’re those funny wrinkly dogs from China – oh wait. Maybe not.
Thanks, Dave. I do indeed know what Sherpas are. I was just hoping somebody would come forward with a serious explanation, so we could see some taser action from Shra.
Woman in black shoes is wearing an ankle bracelet. And we all know what that means…
Mr. B that is low. Are the comments not funny enough for you that you have to try and trick people into getting tased.
when you put it that way, it sounds so tawdry.
Sorry, that came out harsher than I meant, just really scared of being tased.
Thapa sherpas a silly grin. Think how you would feel if you woke up and saw him looking inuendo!
looking innuendo. brilliant, onedoor!
Lol!!! On this post, taser action is suspended… just this post though!
And simply because I just lough that guy’s expression in the last pic..
In the last pic, he has the whimsical look of a man eyeing a Lamborghini and thinking “Way too high for me!” Me? I once had a 1969 Dodge Dart!
more legs, more hungry looks, its the weekend!
