We look forward to an initiation ritual next meeting where you will be required to play "I'm a Cowboy Baby" by Kid Rock on a banjo.

I thought it would be cute to sneak up on a small herd near Naches once. Till they spotted me and came closer.

Good one Scott! HAR HAR HAR looks like you caught a couple of big smelly bull trouts.

Here's a link to Clint Cumins' online guide to Index Town Walls climbing area. Crammer's guide has a few more routes in it than the website. http://www.stanford.edu/~clint/index/ btw- there are lots of good routes there from 5.7 to 5.9, mostly cracks that eat up the pro.

Oh yeah, ted is primarily a bow hunter.

Assuming all hunters do is drive around in a truck drinking beer and blasting bambi from 4 miles away with a sniper rifle is not too unusual. It is generally the same folks who are educated by watching the Fox network and assume all rock climbers do is pull themselves up the ropes previoulsly installed by the forest rangers. And assume all trees live forever if left alone. 1 - the hardest most suffering days I've ever had were hunting. #2 - duh. #3 - tree's sometimes die(even if they look ok on the outside) and need to be removed before they fall and crush you or your house. all of the above are also very fun, healthy sports to participate in and can be benneficial to the environment.

How long are the route's there?? I remember hiking up there as a kid and thinking it would be cool to just fly down like a birdy.

If I don't work out first thing in the morning, I am usually too busy to do it in the evening. I usually get up around 5:15 and hit the workout.

Too many Matts(adapted from Too Many Daves by Dr. Seuss) Did I ever tell you that CC.comHad twenty-three chaps and they all were named Matt?Well, we did. And that wasn’t a smart thing too do.You see, when we want one and call out, “Yoo-Hoo!Log on the site, Matt!” we don’t get one.All twenty three Matts of ours come on the run!This makes things quite difficult at the websiteAs you can imagine, with so many MattsOften we wish that, when they logged on,We had named them Bodkin Van HornAnd one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny JimAnd one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinky.And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.Another one Putt Putt. Another one Moon Face.Another one Marvin O’Gravel Balloon Face.And one of them Ziggy. And one of them Soggy Muff.One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.And one of them Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Butt.And one of them Zanzibar Buck Buck McFate….But we didn’t do it, and now it’s too late.

Keep in mind that that was no tax rebate; instead, that was an advanced payment of anticipated refunds. You may subtract $600 from the rebate you would have received this year. Yeah, I'm always excited about getting a tax return until I remember it was my money in the first place.

If you must follow simutaneously, be the faster of the pair so you aren't the one eating the dinner plates. I just read about a guy who had an arm severed by a falling Ice chunk on Mt. Rainier. Sounds like something out of a movie.

I am as hypocritical as anyone I know and never contradict myself. I followed a kid home yesterday to talk to him about the head on collision he almost caused while passing me in a no-passing zone. Aparantly he didn't want to talk to me but, his dad was interested after I knocked on his door and let him know what was up with his kids driving behavior. I may have crossed the line when I embelished a little and suggested his son was seen blazing a doob as he passed me. It just sounded better and was much more satisfying as well.

Just a little feedback, I started warming up my hams and gluts by running backwards just a little (thanks kweb) The other change I made was not lowering the bar to the floor, only lowering it to about 10 inches off the deck. I havent been sore since I made the change, thanks Courtenay and everybody else.

I have had one for several years and can tell you the pro's and con's pro's great for developing focus and concentrationthe resistance excercise is better than nothing, when hunting season comes around you are dialed in con's it only works one arm and your upper backyou have to buy new arrows once in a whileit can freak out your neigbors if you use their garage as a backstop. I am not really sure what W's post is referring to, but you should only oil up if you are by yourself.

You self righteous guys must have a hard time being such perfect drivers. What's it like never having made a mistake in your life?

Thanks Jon, now I can go confirm my manliness

What is a "lockoff"?

here is an interesting website showing the flightpath of all 4 hijacked planes on 9-11 http://www.usatoday.com/graphics/news/gra/gflightpath2/flash.htm

tru dat! or drinking beer to medicate injurious bodily parts

Don't make the mistake of throwing all us married guys into the "regret our order" category cause I know more than one guy who has been with his woman a very long time and feels forturnate she will allow him under the same roof... crap I just noticed you said "ALMOST always" oh well you can almost always tell the guys from tacoma, they are the ones who are in the Index parking lot trying to play with a soggy hacky sac when they could be climbing another route

I am still trying to unsucsesfully trick my mother in law out of her old set of lawn darts. She can hold her dang liquer. Jman, that sounds like the classic lawsuit where the other guy wins $500 for hurting his hand defending himself from your wife and you each have to pay your attourneys their $5,000 fee.

So there's this open lane right in front of me at the stop light (I love that ) but this Mr. Hurry cuts over quick and darts in front of me. I think, "no problem, these hurried guys always take off like a shot at the light. It's not like I'll be waiting long." Then, whaddaya know, when the light turns green, Mr. Hurry is now working on something else and TOTALLY blow the start! I guess this guy is one of those people who always need to be doing like at least two things at once as it's not good enough to just concentrate on the job at hand. Sorta like my 4 year old son. Whadda you think of that!? sorry chucK, I got a phone call and lost concentration, then I saw trask waving his can of beer (colt 45) around and forgot where I was. But I was in front of you!!
