    egg nog

    Yip, I used to do a lot of 'em for the holidays. I remember spewing nog and rum in my Grandfather's yard one night. Grandma was pissed as Grandpa and I were both a wee bit under the weather. He did not spew though. I guess a 70ish guy just does not do that sort of thing. Great people they were. .

  8. Back on track: recent article on Simpson and notes on upcoming film () http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/story.jsp?story=464102
  9. T'was snowing beat hell on the Duffey three hours ago. No snow at all below ~1100m, so it'll take a while. No ice either
  10. That's like taking a fall down a WI2- with boards on your feet and pretending you meant to do it right If that's the analogy you want to draw...Just remember you'll always be a wanker skier. wanker skiier is an impossibly high plateau far above my current gaper bumbly status. i have no where to go but up, and down i guess. Think of all those ice routes that could be had if you could ski. Far more than the turns that could be had if one could ice climb

    VETRANS!

    Murray, by "vague" I meant comparatively general, non-specific. Canadians, and the Americans you point to, probably have a distrust of the current "war" machine, yes, but it is unfortunate that this distrust can lead in some to an ignorance of the two wars that were worth fighting. A stupid cartoon in the equally stupid newspaper, The Province, tried to invoke the sentiment that we should honour those who refused to fight in wars, and this indiscriminate distrust of all war overlooks what good can come from the right war.

    VETRANS!

    Nov. 11 in US used to be Armistice Day, but was changed by Eisenhower in '54 to Veterans Day. The idea of the day for specific people reflects American patriotism, rooted in ideas of personal sacrifice for the flag, wherea the vague-seeming Cdn "Remembrance" reflects an idea or concept. Kinda fitting.
  14. Rethel, aye, aye.
  15. Which reinforces the whole ephemerality of the venture But enough of this, I'm goin to go look for some more ice right now
  16. Lottsa trees for raps and belays. Ice was really shitty, dinnerplating everywhere, screws melting out. Roads gonna be snowed in now, I think, but I guess you could ski in.
