link Richard Simmons slapping charge dismissed Associated Press May 26, 2004SIMMONS27 PHOENIX -- An assault charge against exercise guru Richard Simmons, who was accused of slapping a man at an airport, has been dropped. Simmons, the outlandish 55-year-old known for his exercise videos, was accused of slapping a 6-foot-2, 250-pound ultimate cage fighter, reportedly in retaliation for a sarcastic remark. The fellow passenger recognized Simmons in March at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport as they were waiting for a flight to Los Angeles, then made an off-hand comment to other passengers about Simmons' exercise videos, police said. Simmons took exception and slapped the passenger, who was not injured but chose to press charges, police said. Simmons was cited for misdemeanor assault and then permitted to board his flight. The cage wrestler, identified as Christopher Farney, agreed to drop the misdemeanor charge against Simmons, according to court documents filed May 19. The documents didn't specify why the charge was dropped. ___________________________________________________________

Does anyone know of a virus related to the site "allaboutsearching.com"? (wouldnt recommend searching for the site, cause gwad only knows what will happen).

87/66 wolves lead lakers, less than 3 min left. Wish I had cable and could actually watch it.

Just had to give a w00t! w00t! for 'em.

I'll sell you mine if you wanna pay for shipping.

I like cytomax myself. I think the gu20 tastes a little weak...AND, if i throw it in a bottle of water and shake it , it never seems to mix very well.

is it possible, in addition to or instead of a real card to do some sort of cyber card so those of us not in the area can be part of it?

My puter was running fine until I downloaded the movie. Tho funny, I think it might have a virus. Just thought Id let ya all know.

sounds like fun and a great turnout! Wish I wasnt so far away. I really like smith. So, did you guys sleep with the horses all weekend?

here!here! I think I injured my finger last weekend. Didnt seem to bother me much at all until yesterday at work. Gonna watch A LOT of movies today, shop for a new tent, and get some new climbing shoes! Fortunately, I can still bike. Unfortunately, the weather kinda suxs right now. Happy healing wirlwind!

In regards to the mythos (which I love, btw), Im going on my second pair in two years now because they have stretched so much that they are too big. I got them either a 1/2 size or full size smaller than my street shoe size at the time. Just something to keep in mind if you are looking at them...they DO stretch a lot.

Im soooo in! It was great to have the smith gathering the weekend before lworth...allowed me to meet more people, cover more ground, etc on my short trip out to the PNW. October works well for me....and since its all about me.... .... Whatever folks decide is kewl with me...just need enough advance notice to get a decent price flight. -c

What a suprise to see Jeff climbing an OW Sounds like a great time, filled with a bit of luck! Nice photos.

are you in Illinois?

This is how us Minnesotans keep non locals out of the area! (kidding)

You sure picked a cold time of the year to be up there! A guidebook is definately helpful. Were there not others around to help you figure out whats/what? And yes, at Tetagouche you lower to various ledges...not the bottom (or you wind up in the lake). Its too bad you didnt get on anything at Palisade Head. the escape route doesnt really count...it sux. I think if you had gotten on any of the classics you would have found it to be pretty decent climbing (despite the sharp rock). Sounds like you enjoyed some of the the scenery. Its really not THAT bad out here in the midwest. Any time you folks are out this way, give me a holler and Im happy to try and meet up or direct you to decent climbing in the area.

me!me! Pick me!! What an expensive weekend that could be, eh? Whatcha do to your shoulder?

shit! I was smokin a fag

and you are posting instead of watching?!?!?!

you guys need to chat earlier to accomodate those of us in different time zones! Hurry!I wont last much longer!

damn!

Funny! I brought this little boy I take care of to see the movie last week. He has many special needs. He is very aggressive and likes to swing/hit at people. To my suprise he kept the glasses on the entire time. He also spent the majority of the movie swinging/trying to hit the people, especially when the smaller screens would popup. I was laughing so hard, I thought for sure we were going to get kicked out. This was the first 3d movie I have seen since...... I wanna see more!

Im going to leave most of the story telling up to Mike Layton when he returns because Im not feeling too creative right now. I think Im still thoroughly exhausted. Hopefully in the next week I will get some of the photos uploaded, tho. Basically I had my ass handed to me many times a day. And, as Jay said, "My body and I are not on speaking terms"...still. I dont get much crack climbing here in Minnesota. Since Mike and Jay tend to lean more towards cracks this was a great opportunity for me to rip up my hands, have my feet throb 24/7, and flail like an idiot! Actually, I learned a lot by both watching and climbing myself. Anyway...here are the highlights (or not) for me... *Walking around LAX for 5hrs waiting for Mike's plane to arrive. *Following pitch after pitch. Following someone is a "special treat" out here. Everyone just topropes or clean their own gear. I learned a lot by doing this. *5 fuckin hour backpacking/scrambling expedition looking for a particular climbing area (cant remember the name- I have permenantly blocked it out of my mind). *Taking my first leader fall!!!!! My first lead in Jtree. My first since mid summer last year. First time using cams (Ive only used passive pro before this). The fall was short and kinda stupid, but probably one of the most impactful moments on the trip for me. It demonstrated that when everything is done properly the safety systems really DO work. Knowing that its okay to fall gave me the confidence to try a few more leads over the week. It will most definately allow me to push my limits both mentally and physically more than I have in the past. *Teaching myself how to aid up the first part of climb (clean and jerk) cause I couldnt get my ass off the ground and the gear needed to be retrieved. I cant count how many times I told mike I hated him on that climb...just like I cant count how many times I fell. *Following on Sidewinder. I LOVED the traverse at the top! Something about the fear and uncertainty of being able to do it, along with the type of climbing gave me a great adreniline rush *Watching Mike climb Imaginary Voyage. Holy Shit, did he ROCK! Photos to come!!!! *Being completely humbled when I couldnt get my feet off the ground on any of the boulder problems we tried one day. Its hard being able to recognize how far you as an individual have come in your climbing when you are surrounded by a number or amazing climbers. God, I felt sooooo suck that day! *Backing off on lead of a 5.3ish climb cause I couldnt find a piece that fit and I was scared Glad I can laugh about it now. *FINALLY getting the "crack" technique down somewhat on Illusion Dweller. What an amazing climb! *Leading White Lightening. Though I was a bit freaked out the first 15ft or so, I pulled it together and enjoyed it immensly. That was a big lead for me. * Sun!Sun!SUn!Sun!Sun! Here are a list of climbs I remember us doing... Poodles are People Too 10b Taxman 10a Bloody Tax Return 10b Mr Bunnys Refund Check 10a Illusion Dweller 10b Sidewinder 10b SuperRoof 9 Hobbits Roof 10b Douple Dip 6 Mike's Book 6 Imaginary Voyage (I didnt climb this one...mike led and followed).10d Right Basterville Crack 10a Clean and Jerk 10d Mel cracks L 10b Mel Cracks R 10b Toe Jam .7 Aint Nothin but a Josh Thing 6 Sphincter Quits .9 Gunsmoke Traverse v4?/.11a? White Lightening .7 Headstone .8 Jumping Jack Crack 11a Again, I will leave it to Mike to tell the stories. -c

DOH! Guess I will be standing on the sidelines this week! and Im NOT unzipping my duffle to take out the hexes, either.
