Lard Lads - A good one showed up recently in the WaPo's occasional series "You Haven't Lived Here if You Haven't..." It's the Post's suggestion that locals should be familiar with, and if possible, attend the Naval Academy's Herndon Climb. A rite of passage for USNA plebes, it involves half-naked young men climbing over each other to try to reach the top of a 21-foot fertility symbol -- er, obelisk, which has been slathered in lard to make the endeavor more challenging. Kinda like mud wrestling. Hmm.
