Squeak 17 #28 March 14, 2006 QuoteSince I can't be creative, I'll give a history lesson to you culturally-insensitive people. The term "Rigger," although long in use, is actually highly offensive and derogatory. For a short while, whuffos tried to make that word sound more acceptable by referring to persons of the rigging persuasion as "Rigroes," but that was yet more offensive to us. We traditionally prefer to be called, "Packs," but "Stuffer-Americans" has gained some ground in recent years. WTF, it's a term derived from the nautical use, from working with Shipps rigging (i.e ropes and sails and blocks and tackles)You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
