Well, the gun range was part of our JROTC program. In our junior year we had to alternate days between ROTC and PE class.

I went to a high school here in Washington that had an indoor rifle and pistol range. You could bring your own firearm (.22 caliber) to school, as long as you checked them in at the armory before classes. Times have changed.

Again, people are trying to slow down the fatties. I prefer meth anyway.

This ain't the IRS. You can carry your children up if you wish, however. If you carry a child, you can count the weight as body fat on the BMI scale. Think long and hard about using this tactic, because if you lose, the child is first on the barbie. My daughter has offered to draw a picture of a butt for the winner. With the loser being the model? With the loser being the CANVAS.

No. I think BMI is all the handicap anyone could need. I have a friend who clocks in at BMI 47+. He could make it and win. He should get out and play more tag. ...wait...

Loosers carry the winner down.

Adjustments for sport climbers?

You really are a lizard brain... What's your point?

Notice that the fat kid figgered this out...

(time to summit) / BMI would make more sense... you get credit for being fat... Wait - that doesn't work, because if you have a higher BMI, your score would be lower... 120 min. / 25 BMI = 4.8 120 min. / 30 BMI = 4 Sorry.

Honestly who does that..something wrong with you The legendary French alpinist Gaston Rébuffat said, "You will never regret an early start."

I've got it! BMI x TIME TO SUMMIT = SCORE :fahq:

after while being used as a sex slave I fixed it for you.

Looser gets eaten.

People are fatter because of larger portions and more processed, particularly fast food. And ADD is a diagnosable brain disorder that wasn't as 'common' in the 'good ole days' because it hadn't been discovered yet, you moron. Discovered by drug companies? Wanna ride bikes?

These are both gems. Um, how about this - hang your prussic loops on your harness? No - that's too easy... :lmao: /Taking bets on whether this guy knows how to prussic, and has ever tried...

Something I found on the Mountaineers website regarding this very topic: OK Here is what I think I know I work in the outdoor industry and I have done some work with a hardware/biner company. One day they decided to gather pro from the base of El Cap take it back to the lab and test it for breaking strength. From what I understand All the pieces regardless of the style, maker, condition or estimated age passed by reaching its minimum breaking strength. (Consistent with your gyms findings) I am not speaking for their company in any way or saying that these are the findings of some official test. I just felt like passing on some information I have heard about. I know that there are a number of folks throught the testing industry that have convinced me that micro fractures don't exist. That is not to say that visible fracture can't happen, it is just that, if you can't see it after careful inspection it is not there. Aluminum comes in different grades and stock, so I am not sure that we should assume that a biner would behave the same way as aluminum used for a plane fuselage you are totally on as far as the gate open vs closed and if your biner is old and the gate spring is not slamming the gate closed setting that pin well, then yes, that is something that can be a problem. I have retired a few biners that somehow had the spring mechanism deteriorate, but I am sure it was the corrosive action of salt water as I used them for Sea kayak rescues Anyway as ken and others have pointed out it is about your personal level of acceptable risk. By the way I have a lot of pro from the late 80s that I still us. Of course depending on their condition I may mark them differently and occasionaly relequish them to light duty, but I still use them. When I pick up new stuff it is mainly because I am a gear junky.

New bong!

*feed them REAL FOOD. /just my $0.02 i totally agree. the kind that you actually have to cook in on a real stove and takes a table to hold it cus you have a whole pate of REAL FOOD and a GLASS OF MILK. Hey - you don't even have to cook - just skip the processed, microvable, fast-food, etc. and stick with fresh, real food. I keep hearing how the lowest income and inner-city kids are the most obese. They're eating from fast-food places and corner markets - just eating garbage. Raise a kid on Taco Bell and microwave burritos and rotissary hot dogs from 7-11, and they'll spend their lives believing that THAT is FOOD! How many Americans live that way? (Hint: A report just came out that said in NO states has obesity recently decreased.) But hey- Paste a tag on them that says "I'm lovable and I'm capable!", and keep them from playing games that are potentially harmful to their self-esteems! Jesus christ! (Deep breath) End of sermon. Sorry - I digress.

I have a set of BD cams and was gonna add a couple of the ones I place most often. Decided to buy a couple of DMMs instead and see which ones I wind up liking better. Just got 'em though, so haven't decided yet. P.S. Had a 2000 Outback. Loved it, until I replaced it. -With a 2006 Outback.

"Craig has agreed to give up his leadership posts on Senate committees temporarily, Republican Senate leaders announced Wednesday." "Craig is the ranking Republican on the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs and on two key subcommittees -- the Appropriations Committee's panel overseeing the Interior Department and the Energy and National Resources subcommittee on public lands." Okay, when does he resign? Any takers?

Like buying a used parachute from a stranger on eBay, sight unseen. Now trust your life to it. That's what you're gonna do with this gear.
