...I'm just wondering who in the shop FOUND this "avulsed testis", and what they thought it was! And if they didn't find it, is it still there, shriveled and stinking...

I have one word for you... HAIR.

I'm so proud of you! :tup: Hey, no shame in trying the baby spoon thing. Utensil size is not an inconsequential factor in how much/quickly we eat. Stay away from those big soup spoons at any cost. Switch to chopsticks if you want to go hardcore. (Unless you happen to be especially dextrous....) I tried switching to chopstick for all of my meals, I just ended up eating just as fast once I got good at it. ...You need to use ONE chopstick.

This article says "Volunteers who helped rescue five men from Mount Hood over the weekend said the climbers were well-equipped, but ill-prepared to tackle whiteout conditions." "These guys had the correct equipment — maps, compass, altimeter, cell phone, mountain locator unit," said rescuer Steve Rollins. "But not all of them knew how to use the equipment, and the climbers were also unfamiliar with the mountain's geographic features, he said. "The real problem here is people not appreciating the strength of storms on Mount Hood," Rollins said.

...A urologist, maybe? If you do, keep the staplegun nearby.

I have one coworker that is so fat, she once asked me to tie her shoe for her because she can't reach her feet. That must teach someone some real humility.

I have an overrated tool for pleasure right here!

And I get SOOO F--ING PISSED OFF when I hear about someone getting lost, and BLAMING THEIR F--ING GPS!!! WHAT IN THE F--- KIND OF EXCUSE IS THAT!?!?! "I got lost because I had the wrong GPS." HUH?

a lot of them still look good in their 40s. Not in my office!!!

Correct, but also do not overly rely on electronics. Like people, batteries go dead. The same goes for even a compass. They too can go tits up. Read the F*CKing maps, descriptions, etc ahead of time and commit it to memory. Take copies along on the climb. The total reliance of GPS is BS. No kidding. When I tell people at work that I climb without a GPS, they say "WHAT?", as though it's impossible to do so. Jesus Christ, I've been climbing with maps and compasses and altimiters all my life. Now a GPS is suddenly indispensible? I don't trust them because like SS and Dino said, batteries go dead, and all electronics can fail in one way or another. I just don't trust them. I have used them, but see them as entertaining novelties more than anything else. I'd rather save the weight and use the map and compass.

That's a false choice. You'd still want a compass, even if you do have a GPS. At least I would. Right on. :tup:

Vomit, meet keyboard.

Just did....I dont smell anything yet. You didn't pull it all the way out of my ass...

And how is that short sited? You realy think we have made it to the moon? Kevbone, please don't tell me you are one of those silly dumbasses that think the luner landing happened in Hollywood! Einstein would kill you. It wasn't in Hollywood; it was in the Nevada desert.

From summer 2004:

I was there in '04 and they were like new. I wouldn't worry about it. They are there to access a lookout station, so I assume that means they are maintained. There are at least 2, maybe 3 or 4 short wooden ladders near the top.

What's a GPS?

Satan made me fart. :lmao:

PULL MY FINGER!!!

WHO makes you fart?

I have a FSM teeshirt. I get asked about it at least twice a day. I've been touched by it's noodly appendage. sickie

I just spend it for the state. That pretty much describes my job. It's their (your) money. They want something for a laboratory, I buy it for them. Everything from centrifuges to numbered eartags for rats to toner cartridges to computers to paper clips to membership renewals to the Infectious Diseases Society. Yes, it's BORING, but it's a living, and I have weekends off and 3.5 weeks of paid vacation each year.

TnA, too...

I may work in a hospital, but I work in accounting. To me, A&P is a grocery store.

It's that green cheese.
