Crack

that sleep country commercial does suck ass, but even worse is that fuckin' "rob tamahaya" one...

that gut truck on the way out to index which is still the best has been in monroe for a little while now...a bomb one "in town" is on 145th and 15th -no freakin' lettuce in their shit

lemme guess -should you also be proficient in an amazingly tight belay and possess and uncanny amount of patience?

how about dropping the ball when you are wide open? untimely penalties... not capitalizing on a dominating first half... a few bad calls -but the seahawks were their own worst enemy on sunday. no worries -they're young; they'll be around.

yes -yummy sammich -yay whoppers! how about the "revolutionary" new shavers?! those things are absolutely incredible, and deserve all the attention they get! brilliant -5 blades instead of 4, 3, 2 or even 1! can it possibly get better?! amazing.

4 footers, with a 4 foot extension (cooool!) barging in on your friends while they were having sex being stupid and/or bored feathered hair, and very soon after that -the death lock rock walks and curb endos, the miami hopper, framestands vans (which have come back strong) and vaurnets (which have not) stuff that dru still swears is cool: jobber hats. camo pants -the desert kind. having an earring in just one ear. white jeans. solving the rubik's cube and beating merlin.

tapering my pants the whiz kids headspins sneaking out and drinking swampwash who's gonna be the first to admit those thin leather ties were cool? or wearing your izod collar up in back, but down in the front? or having posters all over your room of your favorite band/personality staring back at you, maybe pointing and winking?

another option is to go one road off of the main strip in just about any of those podunk towns and knock on the doors of houses which have a "vacancy" sign in their yard. apparently, it is common practice for people to fix up their basement apts. to accomodate guest stay for extra cash in the winters. a few winters ago in field we decided to check it out: on the door was a sign that said something like 'come on in', and on the counter inside was a note detailing the routine, and that the owner was really busy and wouldn't be around -she was working on the honesty system! she had a dialed 2 bdrm basement apt. ready to go for us, complete with cable tv, a stereo, towels, some FOOD and the usual other crap that you get in a hotel like brochures and a guest book. we stayed for 2-3(?) nights before we ran into her -the waitress from a few nights back in lake louise...the price was the same as any other cheap option, we matched bowls like teenagers, and had our own house!

so then take his ass up there. jack osborne made it up/got roped gunned/whatever simply because he wanted to and he made it happen. he didn't tag the summit because he climbed the fuckin' elevator shaft at macy's in the rain with a sack of potatos strapped to his nuts; no shit he didn't know shit. if you maintain and keep yourself in good hands you'll be prepared for wherever if you need to be(please remember to always play smart and responsibily. that way, we can just laugh about it later rather than having to yank your shit off the wall). you got one of your climbin' bros who's got the vision! if you really believe in all of that hooie-bo-jookie about it being about the journey and not the destination, then get psyched and lead the way. a good trip is what it's all about right?

hidden lake is in and sweet -fun multi pitch climbing. the other climbs look good to go as well. easy drive to the trailhead, another tr posted on assendsionist.

A man took his wife to the Rodeo and one of the exhibits was of breeding bulls. They went up to the first pen and there was a sign that said "This bull mated 50 times last year." The wife poked her husband in the ribs and said, "He mated 50 times last year." They walked a little farther and saw another pen with a sign that said: "This bull mated 120 times last year." The wife hit her husband and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him." They walked farther and a third pen had a bull with a sign saying: "This bull mated 365 times last year." The wife got really excited and said, "That's once a day. You really could learn something from this one." The husband looked at her and said, "Go and ask him if it was with the same cow." * A couple were invited to a swanky family masked fancy dress Halloween party. The wife got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He, being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time to be spoiled by not going. So he took his costume and away he went. The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, woke without pain and as it was still early, decided to go to the party. As her husband didn't know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him. So she joined the party and soon spotted her husband in his costume, cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice "chick" he could and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife went up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his new partner high and dry and devoted his time to her. She let him go as far as he wished, naturally, since he was her husband. After more drinks he finally whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had passionate intercourse in the back seat. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make up for his outrageous behaviour. She was sitting up reading when he came in, so she asked what kind of time he had. "Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you're not there." Then she asked, "Did you dance much?" He replied, "I'll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the spare room and played poker all evening." "You must have looked really silly wearing that costume playing poker all night!" she said with unashamed sarcasm. To which the husband replied, "Actually, I gave my costume to your Dad, apparently he had the time of his life." * A couple was golfing one day on a very, very exclusive golf course, lined with million dollar houses. On the third tee the husband said, "Honey, be very careful when you drive the ball don't knock out any windows. It'll cost us a fortune to fix." The wife teed up and shanked it right through the window of the biggest house on the course. The husband cringed and said, "I told you to watch out for the houses. Alright, let's go up there, apologize and see how much this is going to cost." They walked up, knocked on the door, and heard a voice say, "Come on in." They opened the door and saw glass all over the floor and a broken bottle lying on its side in the foyer. A man on the couch said, "Are you the people that broke my window?" "Uh, yeah, sorry about that." the husband replied. "No, actually I want to thank you. I'm a genie that was trapped for a thousand years in that bottle. You've released me. I'm allowed to grant three wishes- I'll give you each one wish, and I'll keep the last one for myself." "OK, great!" the husband said. “I want a million dollars a year for the rest of my life." "No problem-it's the least I could do. And you, what do you want?" the genie said, looking at the wife. "I want a house in every country of the world," she said. "Consider it done." the genie replied. "And what's your wish, genie?” the husband said. "Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, I haven't had sex with a woman in a thousand years. My wish is to sleep with your wife." The husband looks at the wife and said, "Well, we did get a lot of money and all those houses, honey. I guess I don't care." The genie took the wife upstairs and ravished her for two hours. After it was over, the genie rolled over, looked at the wife, and said, "How old is your husband, anyway?" "35." she replied. "And he still believes in genies? That's amazing."

waterfront cafe -a little pricey, but good

http://www.big-boys.com/articles/sheepshooting.html bobbing bobcat is what i'm stuck on, though my individual best is 0.082!

call a dive or surf shop. there is this stuff that they use to get the stench out of neoprene suits that they rent that jams.

guye peak -super close, lickety split approach, aesthetic peak/west face; left hand skyline is mellow and fast (south buttress). hike it or climb short little sections if you choose.

anyone have an affordable recumbent (the kind that you sit on like a chair, not like a real bike) exercycle they'd like to get rid of? all it needs to have is an adjustable seat and resistance.

Canada wins dumbest gov't at Stupidity Awards Canadian Press MONTREAL — The Canadian government secured a surprise win Friday, beating out such luminaries as Iran, North Korea and the United States, for the dumbest government of the year at the World Stupidity Awards. It also bested the United Nations in a hotly contested category that organizers said proved Canadians can compete with the rest of the world. "Canadians often feel we're in the shadow of the U.S., especially when it comes to stupidity, but now we're proving we're world class," said Robert Spence, spokesman of the awards handed out during the Just for Laughs comedy festival. "And as host country, who could ask for more?" The Gomery inquiry into the sponsorship scandal secured the award for Canada, said Spence. Dubbed the "Oscars of Idiocy," host Lewis Black of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart led a team of comics and celebrities who handed out awards recognizing achievement in ignorance and stupidity. "I was dumbfounded," Spence said in a statement. "To see so much stupidity in one room, I almost lost my mind. In fact, I did..." U.S. President George W. Bush may not have led the dumbest government, but he was honoured with the award for the Stupidest Statement of the Year after telling a news conference: "They never stop thinking of ways of harming America, and neither do we." Accepting the award for Bush was Darth Vader. Hotel heiress Paris Hilton won in two categories. She was named Stupidist Woman of the Year and was star of The Simple Life, which was named Stupidest Show of the Year. Conservative columnist Ann Coulter won the award as Stupidest Man of the Year. She beat out Bush, U.S. Senator John Kerry, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and Players Association director Bob Goodenow, and former Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma. Other winners included: Ashlee Simpson's lip-synching performance on Saturday Night Live for Dumbest Moment of the Year; Alien vs. Predator for Stupidest Movie of the Year; Crystal meth for Stupidest Trend of the Year; North Korean dictator Kim Jong for Stupidity Award for Reckless Endangerment of the Planet; Fox News for Media Outlet Which Has Best Furthered Ignorance; The World Stupidity Awards for Stupidest Award Show of the Year. The World Stupidity Awards were decided by worldwide Internet voters. The third annual awards were overseen by the Academy Recognizing Stupidity Everywhere (ARSE), which are "basically a bunch of morons," said Spence.

just buy shit that fits comfortably -with climbing shoes that would be BIG. screw sizing them smaller than your street wear, or soaking them in water overnight, etc. if you're gonna hang in them all day climbing easy/moderates, size your shoes a half or whole size larger than what you normally wear. 5.8 for life!

brand name suckas -nothing is lighter and more waterproof than a ziplock...just duct tape it to the small of your back and go go go!

hey bob -how about a few rounds of "tennis" to chill you out?

lavished in the royalty of sonoma's finest; the doc is officially hitched

a duck would suck; how could you scratch an itch? thumbs rock.

trundling in the desert everything explodes into beach sand

Suburbia(1984) -D.I., the Vandals, T.S.O.L... something by Bowie, the Man Who Fell From Space(?)

i was down there a few weeks ago; several parties camped out at the powerhouse trailhead in the parking lot...we met other folks that were crashing in pullouts here and there -real ninja like. (and there is absolutely no "action" in lee vining, at least at this time of the year)
