Yeah...he's kinda SPOOOOKY.

Penguin in Arizona. Car breaks down. "No...it's just ice cream."

Depends on the weather. Sometimes it's good...sometimes it's bad. If the parking lot at Narada Falls is super crowded, you might think about skiing above Paradise. Tatoosh is fun though.

Don't forget turning water into wine. I think I'd prefer being able to turn water into Black Butte, though.

damn...

Make sure you get the North Face Edition so people will think you're extreme. Anything that gets less than 15 mpg is an environmental atrocity.

So...it's at the Owl & Thistle?

What Off-White said.

I'm pretty happy with my Superfeet. I wear orthotics in my regular shoes, so I need the extra arch support.

Hey...didn't I see this movie a few years ago...?

Exactly...that's why it effectively makes you smarter. You eliminate the dead weight, and your brain starts to function more efficiently.

Penguin. Brother-in-law. Broken down car. "It's just ice cream."

If you had to quit climbing/hiking/backcountry skiing...it's just a slower death. It's the same as asking a musician to quit playing their instrument. My dos centavos.

If I read it right, they've eliminated the annual pass and will be charging PER CLIMB. What they need to do is have a toll booth at Pebble Creek. Anyone who wants to go to Muir has to pay 5 bucks...including the hikers.

When you run down a trail, your quads are repeatedly slowing down and stopping eccentric contractions, or in other words doing a bunch of negative reps. It's very strenous on the muscles and you're working them in a way they aren't used to. That's why they're sore.

Apparently helping spot mines in Iraqi ports. Notice the name of that second dolphin? T-Town in the hizouse.

It's still cash only , but they got an ATM across from the bar.

Ryland, your doctor was right. Oxygen gets transported into your bloodstream as a result of the pressure gradients between the atmosphere and your bloodstream. As the pressure in the air decreases, the "push" of oxygen into the bloodstream decreases. The percentage of oxygen in the air at upper elevations is the same as sea level, but the pressure is less.

I thought I heard somewhere that you can actually rent the entire country for a retreat or conference.

I think the claim is that Denali is far enough away from the equator that standing at 20,000 feet there is the equivalent to standing at 24,000 feet at the equator. Altitude and fat metabolism article

We used to do the same thing when I was in high school - drive out there at night to scare the crap out of ourselves. Hilltop used to be a ton worse back in the day. Now it's just a generic lower income neighborhood.

Liposuction is easier.
