Where did you "hear" that? Who is Ginger Lynn? Is this in reference to the tapes hidden in the bureau? Actually, I unexpectedly once found a copy of Ginger Snaps in a VCR of a room I stayed in with an old girlfriend. That was fun. Susana Spears has a harder body than Ginger, but pornstars are a dime a dozen. (okay, $200/night). There's a lot of 'em anyway.

The house of Saud moves with glacial speed. But it is moving. Eg.: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030209/ap_on_re_mi_ea/saudi_reforms_2

I need pictures.

Read the recent words of John McCain: Freedom's Defense.

I don't understand the question? Why is Mfufy lube?

I heard it from the mouth of General James L. Jones, Commandant, United States Marine Corps. BTW, the battle of the Constitution vs the Java is one of the great ones in naval history. Check out http://www.ussconstitution.navy.mil/

Thermarest in the wind. I watched one fly up El Cap one day. Record time.

blunted on Sloan too funny.

Only in the time-frame of our own meager lives.

probably somewhere near Yakima and heading further east

I've got a box that I cut a couple holes in, inserted cardboard tubes through, then duct-taped in place (3 minutes of faffing, and done). The gloves go on the tubes, and the box goes on a heating register. It drys the Vinylove in a couple hours. Attached photo for clarity.

Heard General James L. Jones rattle off these stats today: "A Tight Ship is a Happy Ship" The following tale is from the history of the oldest commissioned war ship in the world, the USS Constitution. It comes by way of the National Park Service, as printed in "Oceanographic Ships, Fore and Aft", a periodical from the Oceanographer of the US Navy. On 23 August 1779, the USS Constitution set sail from Boston, loaded with 475 officers and men, 48,600 gallons of water, 74,000 cannon shot, 11,500 pounds of black powder and 79,400 gallons of rum. Her mission: to destroy and harass English shipping. On 6 October, she made Jamaica, took on 826 pounds of flour and 68,300 gallons of rum. Three weeks later, Constitution reached the Azores, where she provisioned with 550 pounds of beef and 6,300 gallons of Portuguese wine. On 18 November, she set sail for England where her crew captured and scuttled 12 English merchant vessels and took aboard their rum. By this time, Constitution had run out of shot. Nevertheless, she made her way unarmed up the Firth of Clyde for a night raid. Here, her landing party captured a whiskey distillery, transferred 40,000 gallons aboard and headed for home. On 20 February 1780, the Constitution arrived in Boston with no cannon shot, no food, no powder, no rum and no whiskey. She did, however, still carry her crew of 475 officers and men and 48,600 gallons of water. The math is quite enlightening: Length of cruise: 181 days Booze consumption: 2.26 gallons per man per day (this does NOT include the unknown quantify of rum captured from the 12 English merchant vessels in November) US Naval historians guestimate the re-enlistment rate from this cruise to be 100%. It also marks the last time the Navy was awarded the EPA Award of Gold Certificate for water conservation. The joke question is since they had Marines on this ship what did the sailors drink?

"wanna" and gonna ain't the same.

I can't imagine all the buildup is just gonna be a dryfire.

minx, I've found that excessive salivating, cursing inappropriately, and screaming "Get off me!" while writhing in an attempt to scratch my back keeps people from talking to me on the trail. Try it sometime.

Chaffed ya more than burlap skivvies. Joke all the petty tyrants.

Face it, you are a menace to yourself and others. Don't deny it.

what do you think they use in Scotland?

"Bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep."

An 80 year old man went to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor was amazed at what good shape the guy was in. The doctor asked, "To what do you attribute your good health?" The old timer said, "I'm a fisherman and that's why I'm in such good shape. I'm up well before daylight and out fishing the ocean." The doctor said, "Well, I'm sure that helps, but there's got to be more to it. How old was your dad when he died?" The old timer said, "Who said my dad's dead?" The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your dad's still alive? How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 100 yrs old and, in fact, he fished with me this morning, and that's why he's still alive... he's a fisherman." The doctor said, "Well, that's great, but I'm sure there's more to it. How about your dad's dad? How old was he when he died?" The old timer said, "Who said my grandpa's dead?" The doctor said, "You mean you're 80 years old and your grandfather's still living! How old is he?" The old timer said, "He's 118 yrs old." The doctor was getting frustrated at this point and said, "I guess he went fishing with you this morning too?" The old timer said, "No...Grandpa couldn't go this morning because he got married." The Doctor said in amazement, "Got married!! Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?" The old timer said, "Who said he wanted to?"

Yea, the old crank had some cra cra ideas. But the old Stephenson Tent catalog centerfolds were spank-worthy.

The co-pilot better not be complaining about the ride.

from warmlite.com: "Gore defined “breathable” as passing water vapor about 1/20th as fast as uncoated fabric, (the same as most urethane coatings)". The bivy bag I have works as a VBL, though not as bad as a polyethylene bag (i.e. Hefty-esque). What do you want for your money? BTW, with regard to "Barrier as in impermeable", a net is a barrier also.

So, Bellinghamsters like digging?
