DeLongis is breaking it in!

There is a shot of Anthony throwing the hero whip for the KotCS on horseback at the Austrailian Stock Saddle Company Website.

I've seen that picture; It's a good one. Thanks for posting it. I have a lot of new information regarding Terry Jacka's hero whips. It's some cool stuff, well at least to Whip enthusiasts and Indy fans 8) I can’t post it just yet, but I hope to be able to soon.

Speaking of Anthony though, he got bit on the finger last week by a baby western diamondback rattlesnake that decided to make itself at home under some papers in their ranch house. He’s doing ok now, but spent a couple nights in the hospital to go though antivenom treatment because of it.

Rattlesnakes, very dangerous, you go first!

Wow! I'm glad to hear DeLongis is O.K.. But really, a guy like DeLongis. You wouldn't expect a guy like that to have a normal sort of mundane accident, would you? At the very least, it would have to be something like this.

What Dan isn't telling us is after he was bit, he tore the snake in three equal pieces and ate it raw. :twisted: Glad to hear he's okay though!

Not only that - he did it from 10 feet away, and with tomahawks! Blindfolded!

:lol: Those real-life adventurer types always have the coolest "accidents." Seriously. And they guy is really nice, and very funny. I remember when he was teaching me, he would crack the whip right at my face and whenever I flinched he'd just give a big smile and laugh a little. Awesome guy.

Did you resist the urge to call Anthony "Mad Dog"?
