During the AFI 100 Heroes program a little while ago, Harrision Ford stated "whoever decided that Indiana Jones should wear a felt hat and a leather jacket in the jungle should be shot"

In defence of the condemned, I have one word...BUGS! Here in Canukistan, it can't possibly be any more humid (although fairly close) to the jungles of Peru (or the forests of Hawaii) but last night while I was hiking along a creek near my house, the mosquitos were HORRIBLE! Not to mention black flies and other annoying insects. I have to wonder what kind of biting critters buzz around the jungle. Yes, it was very warm, and even somewhat uncomfortable to wear a cow leather jacket in +20 celsius, but I wasn't a mass of itchy scabs this morning. And I was only near a swamp, not a Peruvian jungle.

Just my $0.02. I expect change.

Gator: I concur, I would rather be sweaty than stunk dry by mosquito's. Being "folically challenged" having a Fedora on sure has saved me from looking like a polynesian shrunken head . What comes to mind is the Bug's Bunny cartoon of the opera singer who's head keeps shrinking while singing "Figaro, Figaro, Figaro .

BTW...Gator, I can't seem to see the pics of your boots. I can see the cat but nothing else...Oh well...I'll just have to wait for mine to arrive via dog sled.

I doubt Ford is suggesting between the lines that he has a better idea... just that gear can be bloody uncomfortable in some situations. And you know what? He's right

Sheesh... what do you do when someone you respect and looked to as a role model says something you don't agree with?

You say:

"Ditch the skinny chick for someone more suited for a man of your stature, and stop wearing that rediculous pre-teen freakin earring!! You only have one ear pierced, so does that mean you're only half of a [insert inappropriate slur for someone who prefers an 'alternative' lifestyle here]"

I'm sorry to let you down like that, Ren

Oh, OK, I knew what you meant... just seems funnier this way
