Shireroth

I am going to try to plant the Shirerithian (and possibly Hyperborean) flags on Mt. Everest.

I'll be away for the next two weeks or so hiking and climbing. If I make it, I will take a picture.

Awesome! Good luck!

Have a safe journey.

That has definitely got to be the coolest thing any Shirerithian has done. Just following your travels is astounding. Flights to places we only hear of, along with your amazing pictures, has got a lot of us wishing we could go with you. Don't forget your oxygen. Safe cliimb, Scott.

WOW!

Marvelous!

If only you could make it to the summit.

Bloody hell. Good luck on your ascent old boy. Oh and while you're there could you have a word with the Sherpas and see if they would be willing to acknowledge Kaiser Hesan as their ruler - I understand the Nepalese have been rather foolish and chucked out their corpulent despot of a king and aren't quite settled on who the replacement should be. An ideal vacan I think. Distribute a few rupees and mangos and see what happens...

Shirithian to Nepali -
"Do you accept Hasan of Shireroth as your King?"

Nepali smiles and nods, head, says something that MUST be positve in Nepalese.

Shirithian: "Hmmm, must mean yes. On to the next country!"

Come to think about it, isn't hat how a lot of colonialism works?

Don't think of it as colonialism so much as a liberation struggle directed against home rule.

HOLY HELL! Good luck, man! This is a landmark in MCS history!

I've only been a little past 14,000 ft, and we drove there.

Good luck!

How do I get such a flag?

WOOOOWWW!
Fantastic!

Go, Scott! Go, Scott! You're awesome!

I'd climb a mountain and put a flag on it...the thing is the nearest mountains are 1000 miles away

I have a hill in my garden...

I have a mole hill within walking distance... would that do?

I am pleased to report that this expedition was a success.

I climbed Kala Pattar (height 18,000 feet) and reached Everest Base Camp (17,000 feet). The Shirerithian expedition beat a Malaysian government expedition by attempting the same feat by one day.

I also planted the Shirerithian flag at Gorak Shep (15,000 feet) and inspected a famous supposed yeti head (the results will be published in the John Metzler Journal of Cryptozoology)

For some reason my picture of the Shireroth flag isn't working right now. I'm going to try to reupload it later.

Long live Scott!

!!

Yay, Scott!! Not only have you accomplished the niftiest feat of any Shirerithian I know, but you came back to tell the tale, to all our benefit. Thanks for letting us go along. It's great to have you back among us mere mortals. Come home safely.

All hail Scott!



Now we must have Scottism!
