    Sorry to hear that Alli. Here's hoping those phuckers get nailed. Chain smokin' in the car?

    Look Out!!!

    Careful you don't get carried away and shoot your supervisor the bird
  5. Talk to your other neighbors. If the dog's truly threatening, there will be enough people to put pressure on the offending owner and/or to pile up complaints. If nobody minds but you, you're the problem--move into a retirement community and enjoy the shih tzus & pomeranians.
  6. A big dude in the window seat bogarted the armrest from my wife. Alas, he fell asleep for a few minutes and awoke to find that the meal service had passed him by.
  7. Go to a mall food court on a weekday afternoon. The music's almost as lame and there are boobs popping out all over the place.
  8. Why not?
  9. threads like this are part of a vast cordalette industry conspiracy.
  10. 1. A rope tied that short is gonna be static. 2. Isn't the point of a daisy to minimize a potential static fall?
  11. I've lost track of how many times I had to downclimb to retrieve gu packets that my partner spilled out of my pack.
  12. Here's an arcane idea: apostrophe

    music you listen to

    Today I kicked back with Air's latest:
  14. How are we going to see the marstronauts floating stranded in space because they used miles instead of kilometers?
  15. That asshole Bush is ruining that asshole Pataki's political destiny.
  16. I wouldn't be surprised if several of the people who've posted a little, then stopped, left because they perceived a hostile atmosphere. It's less hostile here than the late rec.climbing, where it was common for regulars to flame newbie posters just for being newbies. But even in spray, if there's a lot of posters filling the world with their presence, to quote Fanon, it's reasonable to assume that it's just not worth it to join in.

    Too Smart to Teach?

    I got my first teaching job because the dean rejected the first choice (an ivy league ABD), assuming that he wouldn't stick around a cash-strapped regional college. He was right: an elite education doesn't prepare one very well to teach in the non-selective institutions. I'm more surprised that the principal couldn't think of a more diplomatic way to call the guy a pompous ass.
  18. Last year it took me so long to fill out my tax form my beer went flat.I am against any idea that was the words flat and tax in it.

    music you listen to

    Umm, it's pretty much incomprehensible. Are we still talking about tunes we're listening to?
  20. an alcohol lamp doesn't burn as hot, so it's more likely to melt rather than ignite the fibers. a soldering iron is even cooler and doesn't use an open flame.
  21. I'm just posting to complain about why I wouldn't be posting if I could help myself from posting.

  23. QC's great for ticking off lines. My vote goes to the Superstitions if you want to soak up the Sonoran Desert experience along with some good climbing. Don't leave your rain gear behind!
