As usual mimks, you're sooo wrong. St. Patrick's day is an important cultural event and easily holds it's own, if not surpasses Christmas and Thanksgiving.
goat, I drink Jameson's and coffee all the time. probably my all time favorite drink. I don't have the expense account to drink all the fancy $$$ shit like the rest of these rich climbers. I'm just a poor workin stiff.
Speed records have to be documented. What's so hard to understand? For a person to claim a new unsubstantiated speed record up a mountain with no evidence other than his word is bullshit. I don't buy it. Prove your records and claim your prize; otherwise STFU.
