    Laziest invention

    The one having the most fun.
  2. Between Nothingness and Eternity Barren of events, Rich in pretensions My earthly life. Obscurity My real name. Wholly unto myself I exist. I wrap no soul In my embrace. No mentor worthy Of my calibre Have I. I am all alone Between failure And frustration. I am the red thread Between Nothingness And Eternity.
  3. I did.
  4. Bizarre...
  5. Outer space exists because it's afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice. Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, he decides what time it is.

    Similes...

    Successfully arguing on this sight is like being a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest. Pope and Dwayner are attracted to bolting discussions like flies to stink. Dru is like a Pekingese in heat.

    You seem to be opposing people who oppose things...

  11. I drove from 11worth around noon on Monday (upper thirties f and rain). Snow on the road at the north end of Tumwater Canyon with slushy rain coming down (34f). Drove into a section of realtively dry snow on the curves before the Berne maintenance shed (32f). Slush on road all the way to the pass and light rain (33f). The temperature rose 10 degrees just beyond the crest, with bare, wet road and strong gusts all the way to Gold Bar.
  12. I initially got my son and daughter onto skis two years ago. All I did for them was to hold my poles out horizontally to the side and let them use them like handlebars. They practiced "making a slice of pizza" like dad while holdng on and soon they were letting go for longer and longer stretches of time. My son was independant after two days of skiing and my daughter after 4. I agree with the others when I say that the goal at the end of the day was they had fun and wanted to do it again. Snacks and hot chocolate was integral in that plan.
  13. My friend Robert was standing on the ledge of the third pitch of Davis-Holland when it happened. He says the wall rippled and all sorts of stuff was coming down all around them, though not so much as a grain of sand landed on them. Oh, and his partner was screaming like a little girl and refused to finish the route once it stopped.
  14. "Robin Hood Effect" in reverse: "the average worker — who earned $41,861 in 2005 — made about $400 less last year than what the average large-company CEO made in one day. That assumes 260 days of pay (52 weeks x 5 days a week). The CEO-to-worker pay differential in 2005 was the second highest on record. The highest was 2000, when the average CEO earned 300 times what the average worker made." I hate it when that happens.

    Alcohol

    isnt that like one of the worst tequilla's...? they make it gold by adding some sort of sugar which makes you really hungover, if you want to drink shitty tequilla drink the Cuervo silver stuff otherwise stick to the patron I only drink one drink, Crown Royal with Ginger Ale and not that shit you guys call Ginger Ale If im in the states then its Crown and 7up..and I do like the free pour ... I like the taste of gold tequila mixed. Patron (and Herradura) are straight up tequilas. Seems wasteful to mix them with anything. Sapphire is another straight-up (or on ice) drink. Too tasty to mix with anything but ice.

    Alcohol

    Worst hangover I can remember was after a night of downing Rusty Nails. That drambuie is a vile liquid. Faves: Cuervo gold margarita, on the rocks, no salt, floater of grand marnier My dad's gin and tonics (5/1, Tanqueray gin/tonic) Pyrat rum, neat Stoly, so cold it runs like syrup, neat

    poo-bah?

    pooh-bah ( ) n. An official or leader who maintains full control as by holding several offices. A pompous ostentatious official, especially one who, holding many offices, fulfills none of them. High-muck-a-muck: an arrogant or conceited person of importance. Sounds like most of those who post on a regular basis...
  21. Pain and anguish...
  22. Driving in a steady drizzle in Glacier National Park several years ago, I came around a corner to see a sleeping bag lying in a dirt pull-out with somebody's feet sticking out of the top. I slowed to be sure of what I was looking at. The bag never moved and I got this really creepy feeling up and down my spine. I kept on going.
  23. You can't see the number.
  24. Yeah, but my guess is their making money everytime you log on and navigate through...
  25. The Norwegian Buttress routes on Mt Index and the North Face routes on Mt Baring are big and steep. The scariness factor is pretty subjective, but these routes don't get a lot of traffic for 'some' reason.
