It will be easier than standing on the summit of the other one in the San Miguels and you can make a few bucks.
Might want to wear a helmet though.
:lol:
I like the cut of your jib. Maybe people can pose with just one finger resting gently on my noggin? A tag the summit sort of scenario? It's a bit humiliating I suppose, but I'd rather not get squashed. I have so much left to accomplish. Regardless, I love the idea of charging a fee. Iguanas gotta hustle these days because employment opportunities are limited on the slopes of Mt. Elbert.

Update: background check reveals video of Tony in training. However, some aspects of his alleged identity appear to be inaccurate.

Lol...good old Pho messing with people in the city. Yeah, that's my guy Pho. He loves to have fun. However...I don't mean to be "that lizard," but Pho is a monitor lizard and I'm an iguana. I hate to accuse humans of not being able to tell the difference, but shoot, we're not even from the same continent. Don't worry, it's not just you though, I get it a lot. I've been called everything from monitor lizard to gecko to even "an ugly dog." I don't take it personally.

No, what I meant is that Pho is a generic term. Don't hate the Vietnamese people, Tonkatsu san!

Hey guys, don't mean to derail this thread, but does anyone know of a cereal mascot who’s summited all 58 of Colorado’s 14ers solo?
I'm thinking of going for the record if someone hasn't already claimed the title. I know Snap Crackle and Pop have done some impressive climbs, but obviously not solo. And Toucan Sam might have done it, but I really don't think it should count if he used his wings.
I'm really worried that I might get beaten to the title by Mikey, though. He'll climb anything.
Anyway, if it's already been done, then I'll just focus on winter summits. Love grabbing those frosted snowflakes.

96 million humble apologies to you, Cedica, and more importantly, to the beautiful people of the land of Vietnam. I thought you were implying that my guy Pho was in fact, turned into Pho. In my defense, i do have have brain about the size of a walnut. Of course I shouldn't think the worst, but at least a couple people in this very thread have already discussed what vino pairs best with, well, me. And I've seen my brothers and sisters across the globe turned into a lot of different clothing items or kept in glass tanks. Wow, totally didn't mean to turn this into a pity-party for lizards to distract from my apology to the good people of Vietnam and their exquisite cuisine! I apologize again, and I hope people find it in their hearts to "pho-give" me. Heh...a little lizard humor for you there.

This is a grrrrreeeeaaaattt question Tony. I know Dig 'Em the Honey Smacks Frog has climbed most everything except for the hardest Elks and Sangres. He's nervous about the rock quality. Frogs, am I right? He's got the skills and the know-how. Ya'll should have seen him make the leap to the summit block of Sunlight. Like he was born to be up there.
