The people you meet at garage sales - in Missoula


Then there was Roger Johnson, a UM senior in literature. Johnson was at the market for some climbing rope.
He plans to use it in the outdoor pornographic film he’s trying to make.
“I just think there’s a huge market for mountain porn,” Johnson said.
And he’s looking for women to audition.
“Today I’m looking for girls and rope,” Johnson said. “The girls need to have their own sense of morality, who don’t base the word ‘sin’ in a Christian construct. Like a preverbal sense of sexuality.”
One might wonder why Johnson chose the outdoor gear sale to look for his leading lady. Johnson said that outdoorsy people and mountaineers are often deeply inhibited by an Oedipus complex. Johnson said this type of
person subconsciously believes that by conquering the “mother” (nature/the mountain), he inherently kills the “father” (society) who discourages lust after the “mother” (still nature).
“These people are fairly rigorous, extremely neurotic and fanatical,” Johnson said. “A lot of what they’re doing is looking for a sexual outlet. I’m just here looking for my market share.”
Johnson used a nearby ski-waxing kit as an example for his point.
“This is an example of a direct metaphor like I’ve been saying,” Johnson said. “People waxing their sticks so they’ll slide better. I mean … I think it’s slightly obvious.”
