On the summit I found what I think was a Baby Ruth (like in Caddy Shack...), which I promptly gobbled. Did a nonspot (oooo!!! AHHH!! (sarcasm)) of the Fisher Chimneys with a friend. Between the two of us we had a round of Gouda cheese from the BGO (Bellingham Grocery Outlet...) and...you guessed it.. more Little Debbies. I think maybe we had a couple powerbar type things too. No food-booty found. Good thing you said "Caddy Shack" and not "Pink Flamingoes".

It sure is cold up here on this glacier, and David and I don't have much to talk about any more. It sure would be nice to have a visitor. If you are gonna make jokes like that you should spell your name Cathy!!!! Maybe you can give us some beta on Cocaine Crack??

what about bobsledding on a cello case while guys in white snows suits with guns chase you like in that james bond movie?

I once had a truck with seven inches of lift and Super Swampers, but unfortunately the military didn't let me grow my mullet out much then. I wanna get a big jacked up truck with a hydraulic suspension like the Citroens used to have, so I can drop it from 6 feet off the ground to low-rider with the push of a button. that would be super pimp. but the mudflaps would definitely drag behind in lowrider mode then.

is slothrop anywhere near winthrop? I noticed his L is a capital L now too. Not a wishy washy lower case l that looks like an I in that front page font. [ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

Also the mullet hair cut in the 70s and 80s were very popular with the hockey crowd. Ya beer, chips and blood sport!!!!!!!!!! Mullet is new word taking over. Up until 1999 this haircut was known as "hockey hair" and proudly seen on Jaromir Jagr, etc. long after most sane people had abandoned it. Reason: the back is the only part of hair that sticks out under the helmet anyways so it is the only part woryth growing long, no one can see the rest if it is long or short. Actually mullets can be long on the top too but real hockey hair is short top and sides and long back. On little kids the variation is to have a rat-tail braid hanging down the back.

I had an AFRO once . Mostly I am a skinhead these days.

I've also got Big Lou's autograph. I've down-soloed Canary, and I watched Todd Skinner "free" City Park. Well, it wasn't all that free. I've also bailed off Liberty Crack at least three times. Pope- if you dont have a lady friend to apply the sunscreen you can wear a condom on the sensitive area and prevent the painful burning from occurring. I have been drunk enough to puke many times but through application of common sense like this, never burnt into puking range.

Terry going by the forecasts this is gonna be a winter with dry, sunny days every month of the year. 15C and sunny in January etc. I was down at Burgs & Fries. Some friends just bought a house in the Smoke Bluffs and I was doing all the routes that end up in their back yard which border crossing was the farmers comment made at? sounds like something you might hear at Sumas. The guy there on the US side really dug my Boreal sticker once :"Think Less... Climb More? huh? The Original And Sticky?" How wet was Octopus garden? That things usually soaked for 2 days after rain. You should check out Funarama if you are over there. "Ramapithecus" (see yellow guidebook update) dries out fast and the pro is "bomber". And you can try to snag the FFA of "Working Class" (not in book - goes left out of First Class) - the move past the bolt is probably about 1-move-wonder 11b. [ 11-19-2001: Message edited by: Dru ]

I wasnt at work until 8:30 I-Am-Boney! But you got it right, Capt and I are homeboys and insults are flattery. Thats why we are 1000+ posts ahead of your 3rd place showing. get with the Fu@king program and catch up!

I guess Pan Dome Falls was nowhere close to forming up??

$10 for two saved lives, those guys rate themselves pretty cheap!

Bronco, i would mail you some chili but they would probably think it was anthrax or something. sorry. i will bring some to lillooet I guess .

So what did everybody do? I went to Squamish on saturday - climbed a bunch (7 or 8) of smoke bluff type routes at the Bluffs with some friends i ran into. went to a slideshow at a friends saturday night and showed hero shots of myself etc. went home at 2 am on sunday AM and saw lots of meteors along the way. no one wanted to go up s ridge of welch sunday so I slept in sunday AM, went for a bike ride along the river, changed oil & filter in the pimp wagon, made chili. lots of chili. im going to be eating this god-damn chili all winter long I made so much of it. anybody want some chili?

Quarks kick ass. Or some of those Cobras. Or Axars, or anything else with a big curve near the head. Be prepared for big line ups in Banff on not much moderate ice yet if you are going there now. it was +15 C on saturday that is very warm, rock climbing weather.

whatever happened to good old tied-length-of-1 inch webbing harnesses

Johnny, (shouldn't that be Jimmy, as in, No jimmy?) I save my experimenting for drugs. Im still in my "drug phase". This .gif has no relevance but i put it in anyways

PS "Kathy" you spelled Rigor Mortis wrong. I would bet a that Kathy is Bonzo ??

Poor Bonzo. I liked that unrefined surge of pure aggro. Maybe Trask or Z will take up the torch.

I saw some shootin stars and I hear Capt. got a meatier shower.

True story, sunny weekend in June, called a once-keen climbing friend and started hyping about some UNCLIMBED ROUTE we should go and do... "Naw, I got an Ultimate tournament this weekend" he said.

(SatireWire.com) - In a haunting Senate hearingtoday on risk assessment and emergency readiness, officials fromdozens of government agencies conceded the United States is"grossly unprepared" to deal with thousands of highly unlikelythreats, including falling chunks of the Moon should it explodeinto pieces, or the simultaneous spontaneous combustion of everyperson east of the Mississippi. Or anything to do with vampires or poisonous housecats. As senators listened aghast, officials from the Centers forDisease Control, FBI, FDA, NASA, and National Endowment for theArts confessed that despite the safeguards implemented sinceSeptember, the country remains at implausible risk. CDC Director Dr. Jeffrey Koplan was equally disheartening in hisanalysis. "If some undetectable disease is introduced that spreads soquickly and is so deadly that anyone within a 1000-mile radiusdies before they're even exposed, we have not dedicated adequateresources to handle that effectively at this time, no," Koplansaid. Asked what diseases might fit this category, Koplan shifteduncomfortably as he acknowledged the CDC did not know of any,nor had it directed drug companies to prepare a vaccine tocombat them. That response infuriated and terrified Sen. PatRoberts, R-Kan. "What do you mean you 'don't know of any'?" asked Roberts. "Theentire nation, and perhaps the entire world, could be killed bythis virus and you've never even heard of it? I won't evenbother asking what you're doing about killer bees." While some senators and agency directors focused on externalthreats - under withering cross examination, Mary Ryan,assistant secretary of state for consular affairs, confessedthat Canada could attack at any time. - many wondered ifinternal dangers were being adequately addressed. Occupational Safety and Health Administration administrator JohnHenshaw, for instance, was noticeably cowed after MississippiSen. Trent Lott turned his attentions on office supplies. "Well, God help us," intoned Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., who thenordered the Senate's sergeant-at-arms to remove all staplersfrom the Capitol building and congressional offices. Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, however, urged senators tostop the hearings, explaining that airing such dangers publiclycould expose weaknesses that America's enemies would exploit.Biden, however, said the American people deserved to know whattheir government was doing to safeguard them, and asked Ridge ifhis team had considered the possibility that a rogue nationmight create a Category 5 hurricane the size of Asia that wouldhave the ability to suck up the entire U.S. wheat harvest. "Boy, I don't think so," Ridge replied as several senators ranscreaming from the building as a precaution. "Also, I haven'tgiven much thought to the potential for an army of lethallyradioactive wallabies that could crawl into all our beds atnight, pretending to be pillows." Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson, meanwhile,testified that HHS was ill-prepared to respond if everyAmerican, from infant to the elderly, suddenly began smokingcigarettes and continued to do so, non-stop, 24 hours a day.However, Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., had Thompson's testimonystricken from the record, arguing that it described a "goal,"not a threat.
