If your nose runs and your feet smell...you're probably built upside down.

She had a headless doll named Marie Antionette. and then there's this imposter...

It is obvious to me it was McGinty. The whole jumping on the piano thing was just a clever ruse to divert attention.

Upgrade to something with more stopping power?

Yep. I have noticed that what matters most on an aid route is the comfort and diversion factor. Considering that it's largely a mental game when it comes to stepping up onto shit to gain another 3-5 feet, being miserably cold or dehydrated or cramped or just bored silly can have a detrimental effect on your desire to start clipping into those next placements. The most comprehensive (or dialed) rack in the world will be less effective if your head is wishing for somewhere other than the route you're currently hanging from... Make sure you are content in those aid slings and your chances of finishing the route go up considerably.

And it will never change. It is the nature of the beast and the beast is us. It seems rather pointless to wring our hands and beat our chests or even merely debate about humans killing each other. The topic doesn't seem to fit in the casual/polite/dinner/intimate or even strained conversation categories so what is the point? None of you reading this thread, or any thread on this site, or any site on the web can change the fact that we are a flawed organism destined to perish as a whole in the very shit we create. Food chain, natural selection, survival of the fittest...whatever. We are all meat and eventually all meat goes bad. No shit.

And it's your avocation to be a dick about it.

I knew I had seen this before... This system can apply to approaches and descents, but one thing missing is when there are sections of actual canyoneering on a descent (due to getting badly lost in my case.)

It seems that since the shrubs inaugural address ("spreading freedom and democracy throughout the region") the tone has changed ("we must prevent the spread of islamic radicalism throughout the region") Like he's realizing that the situation in Iraq has turned into one that is in al Qaeda's favor, but...just...can't...quite bring himself to admit it. It must suck to be George W. Bush.

An overwhelming urge for a taste of the unholy meat caused Pookey to lose the onsight.

My grandparents came from Ohio to California in the 20's. Grandpa worked for Sunoco, Standard Oil and then Mobil. During the Great Depression, the oil companies didn't want to lose knowledgeable oilmen, but couldn't afford to pay them regularly. To keep them on, they would give them a paycheck every other month and the intervening months, they would give them stock in the company worth equal to what the paycheck should have been. My grandparents were childless at the time, so to help out larger families in need of money, they traded the stock for cash. My dad still holds all the oil stocks my grandparents bought. I think he's pretty well off.

I believe there is already somethng like that on the market... How does one make a cigarette larger in diameter and reduce the inhalation of extraneous combustion products? A strong cigarette contains 1.1 mg of nicotine. A cigar, depending on its size and type, can contain anywhere from 10 to 444 mg of nicotine. Cigar smoke also produces 30 times more carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke.

It's a Colon Cleansing Kit. It cleanses the body of colon, hence the Why anybody would want to do that is beyond me, but then... It's an odd world we live in.
