photo of the day – chris pontius

In honor of Chris Pontius’s birthday today (okay, technically it was yesterday, but we had a major issue with the Interweb and weren’t able to post or host anything until now), here’s a shot of him in full festive form. Dimitry took this photo in 2004 on Wildboyz, when they were deep in the mangrove sticks of Indonesia engaging in some cultural education affairs with a tribe of indigenous people known as the Dayaks (which I think when translated into English means “drunks,” but it’s an obscure dialect and I’m really only basing this off what can be seen here in the video). Pontius took the lead early on this night, but by the time all the “jungle juice” had run its course, the entire crew was a walking and slurring mess—not to mention the floor of a certain Dayak longhouse, as well. ¡Viva la Tradición!
