I like to think that I was born a dumb pussy due to an accident of nature, but worked hard, damn hard, to become an asshole for the specific reason of no longer being viewed as just another dumb pussy.
One thing I never forget to bring to an emergency situation is the capability of CAPITALIZING the most poignant points of my posts.
Finally, I'd like to POINT OUT that dying in the mountains is WAY COOLER than dying from, say, prostate cancer or a disease of the anus. Much as we'd like to pretend otherwise, there is a hierarchy of cool ways to buy the farm, with spaceship malfunction being pretty near the top, and a dog eating your face off while you're passed out from too much malt liquor after a meth binge being somewhere near the bottom.
Some finer points: Motorcycle accident > car accident.
Brain tumor > colon cancer. Lion attack > pitbull attack. Hit by train > hit by bus. Shot by a jealous lover > shot by your spouse.
Don't ask me why this is, it just is.
You might just be the greatest genius in the history of time my friend!
Do you suppose falling into a bottomless crevasse < great than peeling off of a big wall while soloing? Seriously, if you are going to die in the mountains, there are certainly some situations that are cooler than others.
For example, I'd rather die in the big wall situation than get my skull smashed by a rock that some wanker up above me on the DC knocked loose!
