Someone's probably done this before but I Just got back from vacation in Peru. Had to show some support for the Massive during my first trip to South America. Pic link is below. Got some strange looks, maybe for the Indiana Jones hat, but everyone wears soccer jerseys there. The yellow was a bad idea though cause it attracted the mosquitoes. Crazy Ciencianos fans in Cusco asked "who are these Crews" but when I told them about GBS some of them actually knew. The colors have officially been Macchu Picchu and Huayna Picchu for those keeping track. Next spring I'm taking them up Kilimanjaro. Spread the Massive!
naw, but I did buy a cheap replica Ciencianos one for myself I should have asked for orders ahead of time!
another from the top of Huayna Picchu with Machu Picchu in the background just to prove no photoshopping
That.....that is just fantastic. Massive indeed. Looks to me like maybe you even had a Crew jacket on over it for a time. Visions of Crew gear taking that train ride is just heart warming. Keep fighting the good fight, people.
The expression on my face is my response to your "shenanigans". This was taken at 7:30am before we made the climb.
Moderator or not, Foo, you can't just go around declaring shenanigans on mountain climbers and backpackers. That's how riots get started....
I thought I'd piggyback on this thread as opposed to starting another, so I can bump it. Those pics of Machu Pichu are amazing. Lately I've been spreading the massive all over China. Here are a few photos from my recent trip to the Great Wall. It's too bad that I didn't get a picture of the scene when locals surrounded me, pointing at my jersey and exclaiming "until today we have never seen something more massive than the Great Wall, but today we have witnessed something truly MASSIVE." It's also funny to note that a Chinese guy informed me that Rusty Pierce's name in Chinese roughly translated means "I can't hold Gino Padula's jockstrap." EDIT: I tried to link my pictures at the Great Wall but they aren't showing up. Maybe you can't insert an image using Picasa? If anyone could figure out how to post these photos and/or let me know I'd appreciate it http://picasaweb.google.com/cjwilley/GreatWall#5255058314578675922 http://picasaweb.google.com/cjwilley/GreatWall#5255058409024281490 http://picasaweb.google.com/cjwilley/GreatWall#5255058909162663378
I think I see a potentially massive trend here. Time to take Crew gear on your travels, people, and record photo documentation! Rep to the first person with a picture of a Crew kit on the top of Everest - or in that new Virgin space plane.
Right-click on the pics and choose properties... then copy the url it gives you and click the img tag icon (mountains and sun) and paste the url in there... like so...
wait til i get to Kilimanjaro next march! I'm gonna wear my crew jersey as a "base layer" under the fleece, parka, and ski shell since it's gonna be -30F at the summit. I'll have to see if I can unzip all the layers and get a pic...
I've been spreading the massive in Western Indiana, no not a typo for India, Indiana.....I think the Peruvians know more about the Massive than these people.
Agreed the MASSIVE Crew around the world thread. Unfortunately I haven't traveled for awhile and when I did I wasn't sporting gear so I ma of no use here. But I definitely think the thread has merit.
Eboe, thanks for helping me out. Rep sent your way... I'm going to see the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, China, next weekend. I wonder what the chances are that I could get my scarf on one of these guys?
I hate you. I have only had a couple of chances to see several in one place at a time. To see one of the excavation pits would be mindblowing. Truly one of the most amazing feats of man and a definite wonder of the world. Enjoy and send pics, and we'll do our best to get you out of jail after the arrest. The West ham dust up, BA getting named in a defamation/hate speech suit against an entire country and an international incident surrounding an "attack" on the terracotta army. Truly MASSIVE.
Yeah the celebration was me, my Rusty Pierce jersey and Crew Union scarf, six bottles of Tsingtao, and a couple of confused security guards. You should have seen me at a bar at 3 AM watching the Fire game and doing Nordecke chants. People literally thought I was nuts, but they're all so curious, constantly asking me what the chants are and a few joined in. They're all confused by the fact that an American would love soccer, as they think we only play basketball like "Kobe Bryant" (by far the most popular US athlete these days). I think if the Supporter's Shield ever approached the Great Wall the earth would start shaking. TOO MUCH MASSIVITY in one place. So Kevin if I had photoshop skills the Crew Union's Beijing chapter would have been established by now. By the way, did you know that the Crew Union site is blocked over here? I have to use something called Ninja Cloak to view it.
It would have been awesome if you could have gotten pictures of all those locals singing with you. They probably think it's some pro-labor site. "Ninja Cloak"? That's awesome. I'm kinda surprised they don't block that site! I hope you use the HTTPS option on Ninja Cloak - that'll encrypt the communication between you and that site, meaning that even if they sniff the packets they won't know what you are looking at. I have a similar setup myself - I have a private proxy running on my server at home. I SSH into the box, tunnel a port from my local machine to my server's proxy port (not open to the outside world), and then my server at home goes out to get the pages I want and serves 'em back over an encrypted SSH tunnel. Untraceable. I primarily used it to get around the filter at a previous job when sites I legitimately needed to access for work reasons were blocked. Combine that with portable applications that run off of a (possibly encrypted) USB thumbdrive, and you've got portable secure computing.
HAHA. Yeah. It was probably much quicker to build all that secret untraceable computer spy shit than just ask the IT department to get to those legitimate sites.
