Uncle,

BTW, should we edit out the cursing, or leave it all in... :)

Not that most people would be able to understand it anyway ;)

I think MauiRob and I should make the trip to Nepal to do the video on BirGhorka. JP could foot the bill. It would be glorious !

:D
 
JP can afford it.

The praying and cursing are part of the deal at BirGorkha. The khukuri couldn't be made without them.

When, the helper misses his target and smacks the other guy's hand, he may start jumping up and down and screaming in a foreign language, but I am sure we will all know exactly what he is saying....

What you need is one of those 'live' cams, so people can see 'What's Happening at BirGorkha Right Now'

I know this was supposed to be a joke, but IMHO THIS is the best idea yet!!!! Have one forge each month--Bura, Sanu, Kesar etc... be the cameras focus. Would the time change allow most of us to see them work while we are awake (insomniacs like Ben not included;):p) If Gelbu's computer is modern enough to support a webcam--kinda doubt the modem would be fast enough.

Then again, Maybe this would take all the mytique out of the process
being able to watch every move they made?

Now THIS is an idea with possibilities. I will do the still camera documentation and scenic photos of surrounding villages (sherpa girls etc..;)),and Foxy can do video, interviews etc.. And of course JP could use any of my photos for his book free of charge;) :D :D On second thought, Alan would be better for the people shots than I, so let's bring him along too. And Uncle BIll's the only one who speaks Nepali...Or does Howard too. Hmmmm, could be quite a crowd.

Aw hell, let's just have the next Konvention at BirGorkha!!!!!;)
But I'm bringing toilet paper and a shovel so I DON'T have to use the Birgorkha C****I (edited for Uncle's sake;) )
 
Hundreds of possibilities!

A trip to the BirGorkha Charpi is an adventure of a lifetime. You can't miss it.
 
Is there any truth to the rumors that John is just going to charter an L-100 and fly everybody in?

;) :p

One could in theory have the equipment record the video and then play back during the 'Nepali night'. Of course, all of this seems highly improbable to me, because it would involve maintaining some sort of high-end computer equipment at BirGorkha in Nepal (not even including your random Maoist). You see what a time Uncle Bill has maintaining his own computer equipment in Reno, USA - can you imagine what it would be like for him to try to maintain (at a distance) a complicated video-setup at BirGorkha :eek:. It would really require hiring a computer person at BirGorkha. It seems like an idea which might be plausible 30 years from now, when HI is a rich company (and, of course, all of us would be rich from having bought HI shares ;) )....

Well if we can't have streaming video of the kamis, how about Uncle Bill invests $40 for a webcam in the Cantina?
...Hey Uncle, wave that sirupati around again :D
 
:D :D :D

I like that idea BP:D

Yes that's nice, but how does it look when Chokpa(sp?) does it?
