Baja Mount Rushmore??

Bob H - 8-16-2012 at 12:25 AM

So, I have had a few cervesas tonight, and I was thinking. If there were to be a Baja Mount Rushmore, who would be there?

I would vote David K for the first one. But, who would be the other three?

Carmelita......

I think people have to be deceased before you chisel them in granite or name a ship after them. I think it's because if you're still alive there is still time for you to screw up and be the object of ridicule and scorn

A little information. When you type in all Capital Letters, it means you are hollering at the people who are reading your post. Probably not your intention, but who knows?

THANKS PECS

The Mexicans would never go for a group of Americans in a Baja Version of Mt. Rushmore, but I WAS surprised at the Abraham Lincoln statue in a glorietta in Tijuana, I never could figure out why the Mexicans had erected a statue of him!!

Ramuma ..... should be considered (he's helped so many).

Pompano! He's got to be in the running.

surfer jim - 8-16-2012 at 03:57 PM

For me...

A policeman with his hand out getting mordida.

A blanket salesman at the TJ crossing.

A Pemex gas pump putting 24L into a 20L can.

The R.E. agent who took deposits for TRUMP TOWERS.

Carve those in stone.

vgabndo - 8-16-2012 at 04:03 PM

Hey Cap'n...I recommend you touch and hold the Ctrl key while touching the + key, then touch the caps lock key, and continue in a normal tone of voice (wink) AND your old eyes will still be able to see!

Thanks to Sharks Baja for the shortcut.

David K - 8-16-2012 at 04:10 PM

That's funny Capt. Mike... are you the artist? I recognize (I think?) L to R:
Capt. Mike, Dr. Robert Jackson ('academicanachist'), me, and ?? who is the fourth?

Other nominees:

How about Jimmy Smith, Dave Deal, Chuck Potter, and Mike McMahan?

Or: Howard Gulick, Ray Cannon, Tom Miller, Landon Crumpton (people whose books inspired us to venture south!

Ed Pearlman
Parnelli Jones
Bill Stroppe

Dennis,
That name sounds familiar, but I think he went away somewhere while you were away somewhere.
(If that sentence makes sense drop everything and head for Sharkeys)

You have something there Dennis... I wish Capt. Mike would fly back in here and solve the mystery! :coolup:

Bob H - 8-16-2012 at 11:28 PM

Wow, this thread took off.... love it. I think it is JR! And, well deserved.

What about Don Jimmy?

I'd have to go with Doc Abraham, The Poloroid photographer at Hussongs, A beutiful girl named Lillian who "works" in Ensenada and Pancho from San Rafael.

The more I think of it, gotta peso does NOT belong on Baja Rushmore. We should just figure out the top 10 candidates and whittle them down from there. It's a tough challenge.

David K - 8-19-2012 at 07:31 PM

Way too many Baja personas to limit to 10.
