Okay Lummox, are you possessed by some other person today. You quoting the bible freaks me out.

That was a good thread. Learned something interesting about male urethra anatomy this quarter. The urethra is eliptical shaped and if it did not have a corkscrew turn at the end you guys would have no aim. This is what lets you write your name in the snow and if you look close enough you can see how the stream is kinda corkscrew shaped at the exit. Women don't have this "feature". BTW, please use your gifted ability to aim better next time you leave the toilet seat down...

Nope. It seems that you just like to rotate through the ladies, so I'm sure if a women "held" a gun to your head about being romantic you'd just move onto the next one... So has there been any sort of correlation between the length of your chivalrous attitude and the "relationships" you participate in? Also, the point of my original comment wasn't really just about relationships. It was more about how some women view a door being opened for them by a stranger as a little slice of romance that brighten's her day, not some insulting action from the stronger sex about how weak women are.

looks more like a sack 'o nuts. Good price too if you get everything in the pic.

Good suggestion Erik. Sometimes elbow tendonitis originates from muscles in the forearm. Stretching and trying not to overgrip can help, especially if you are climbing little crimpers in the gym. Training those muscles using a grip ball or by working your extensors with silicone putty (Powerputty works good for this) will also help with recovery and prevention if it is a forearm issue. Mattp, you are right. It could show that it is not dangerous and that climbers are concerned about safety. Data can be cut many ways. It would be really nice to have a broad based survey that showed that climbers and climbing is inherently safe so I could get some life insurance again...

Griz - probably only interested in injuries that require (should require if you didn't seek it) medical attention. Agree with Layton on which "health care providers" the data is intended for. I'm skeptical of anything that can further classify climbing as high risk and create a reason to deny coverage or treatment. DocErik - Please define the objective of your study (intended use of the data) for us.

Cavey - do a google search for bushbodies.com and see how many suspicous deaths there are around GW and his forefathers...

This is the age-old question that nobody has ever given me a satisfactory answer to. Sometimes that dog just don't hunt. Insecurity and lack of self esteem that makes them see they deserve better. Will - some women dig it when they are treated like a lady. The only ones who don't IMO are insecure about their place in the world. If you have a confident woman who knows she can achieve what she wants in the world, she will enjoy it when a guy opens the door for her, offers to carry a heavy bag, buys her flowers, smiles... Whether she knows him or not (well maybe getting flowers from someone you don't know would be weird...) It's a little thing we all appreciate called romance. Maybe Trask's list spells out why some guys in the 20-40 something range have "forgotten" what romance is, they're afraid of getting beat up for it. It's a sad shame.

So you get hit on. Be flattered and say no thanks.

Why you so jaded Trask? You're sounding like a victim... It must be confusing to be a man with all that judgement, huh?

Some WD40 on those hinges will get the squeaks right out. Careful not to apply too much though. It drips.

Yeah. We've discussed his avatar pic. I guess I never thought of Kermit as sexual, even with his advances towards ms piggy. I've come to accept it.

No probs...It's not necessarily jumping anywhere. Just happy. Jumping is a good thing. I think that's why little kids do it when they're excited. And I think if we all stopped being so serious and just acted like kids once in awhile the world would be a better place. Frogs are one of my favorite animals, ever since I was a little kid. When I was 10, I captured about 50 of them at one of the local lakes and put them in my parents garden cause I like the sounds they make.

Casto - I have about 20 climbing holds I'll sell ya. And a finger pull up board. pm me.

That reminds me of THIS little diddy about the south. Priceless!

Yep. All is now good in my world and I'm back to jumping for joy!

Work can suck if you don't like your job. But the paychecks are nice. I miss those things bigtime...

Naw thanks, prefer to "learn" from you at a long distance. Very long distance

Trask you're a tease. I thought you were going to show us some entertaining photo of how to have sex and run at the same time. I was going to be impressed, since I think it'd be hard to do.

No one said anything about the women of cc.com (all 6-10 of us) being oppressed. I merely asked for a little respect and that the c-word not be used. Both the image and the word were offensive. If you don't think so then perhaps you have become too desensitzed. I can't think of anything as offensive that refers to men. If there is one, clue me in because I would hate to offend.

Who's planning on heading up this weekend? Snow levels below 3000' throught thursday and heading up to 4500' on Friday, but dropping again on Sat and Sun. With storms coming through to drop some freshies.

Unfortunate things happen all over the world to people who are in a position to be taken advantage of or overpowered. Most all countries have sketchy places. You just have to travel smart and possibly pay a little more to go guided on a trek or tour off the beaten path. In Railay/Pranang where several women have disappeared (locals and non-locals), people shouldn't go out alone at night in sketchy areas and don't ever get on a longboat taxi at night or near dark if there are no other passengers going where you are headed. Most of the longboat drivers there are drug addicts and there is a lot of shady stuff that goes on in the south of Thailand right underneath the beauty that tourists see. I don't think Dryad is going to be alone per se. It may be more deserted this time of year, but there are other travelers I am sure she can make friends with. I did a solo trip in Nepal in 98 before all the Maoist bs started and travelers weren't being attacked. I made a few friends with other travelers and I had a guide on my trek. I also stayed in tea houses where I could lock my little room when I slept, or I put my sleeping bag near the guys I'd met when we were in bunkhouses. Creepiest person I met on my Nepal trek was a lama who lurked around a tea house in Pangboche. I saw him one night at the top of the stair near the sleeping rooms just sitting there watching people in the dark. Made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end.

I think that Pinnacles has had closures in certain areas because of nesting birds before, as does Mt. Diablo. Usually it is just during the spring nesting season and the crags are open by July.

Don't let those meanies steal your stoke. Send Fern a list and she'll ban 'em!
