Although this photo was sent as part of a larger group of photos, I’m pretty sure you will agree that it deserves a post all its own. I’ll post the rest of Alex’s Africa Whynatte photos shortly.
————————————————————————-
Protecting your herd, your tribe, and your women is not easy work. Imagine spending all day chasing gazelle around the Sarengeti, herding livestock all over the plains, and then having to come back to the hut and listen to your wives complain that the cattle haven’t been milked. And you thought that your job at the Chevron was tough.
Thanks to Whynatte, the warriors of Maasai have all of the energy that they need to make it through the day:
Says Samburu, “I used to only have the energy to spear 2 or 3 Wildebeast in a day, and now I’m easily coming back to the hut with 8.”
Alex was kind enough to send us this photo from his recent trip to Tanzania.
Needless to say, the plaid and spear look is in this fall.

That must have been a pretty fantastic exspearience, Alex
I like how that guy has to help Alex hold up the heavy, heavy spear.
The more I look at them, though, the more I think that they would come in handy for the annual Cat Sacrifice.
Those guys could pick off a cat from no less than 100 yards with one of those spears.
Hey. I went to law school with that guy. How’s it goin’ Alex?
Alex learned a lot about spear throwing in law school.
First, let’s make it very clear that I don’t help any dude hold his spear up. Second, which Thomas are you, Thomas? I can think of 3 Thomas’s off the top of my head that I went to school with. One was just named Atlanta’s top 20 most eligible people. Seeing as how this Thomas commented on Whynatte’s site at 1:30pm on a weekday, I’m ruling out the eligible Thomas. Are you Tall Tom? or maybe Tom that likes to hug people when he’s drunk? So many options here…
In any case, I think Tom should change his last name to Vooloree.
Jesse, we needs us some of those spearing engineers.
I mean, this shit is priceless. Thanks again for the photo, Alex.
[...] I’ve been trying to figure out how to restore the “Worldwide Whynatte” page that used to be a feature of the old Whynatte site. So far, no luck, but we’ll get it figured out. You see, back before we had our current bougie website, our old site used to have a special page for all of the Whynatte photos that were sent to us from far away lands. We had quite an assortment, like this friggin’ beauty here. [...]
