so long as he cleaned his plate...

would be kewler to just pull the whole thing and put in a via ferrata - grandma'll love it!

i call it "the judge" as it looks more like that old-boy from Das Wall

the sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up!

climbed stone soup, first 2 pitches, a couple weeks ago, and that'll always go - you can skip the first 2 if you want and do the long "alpine route" in 1 60 meter lead to 3-tree ledge (or break it into 2 pitches - they're mostly gross, but go in all weathers) at any rate, that lets you just enjoy the upper pitches to the cool top-out - very reasonable for a day outing, whereas the complete stone-soup don't get done in its entirety too often thataways...

i likes to make me some fine perogies from time to time...

the problem w/ burning christian holy books is they're usually printed on tissue paper (message?), which just doesn't have the legs you're looking for in a wilderness situation

i see edoras at least

nonsense, i have at least one witness to him apologizing after abandoning The Team for the better part of an hour to go smoke weed w/ li'l hotties in a scenic hot-tub after promising us he'd be back in 5 minutes n' we shouldn't move from the spot till then i forgave'em quite quickly, i might add, waht w/ the flush of an el cap ascent, a gutful of wine, n' a fresh pack of camels in my claws and in my conscience ...plus we got to join the party soon thereafter and we got fancy book-lernt on the location of the constellation cygnus

do the actual specifics matter much in having fun w/ the biblical classics? how hot the burnign bush was burning exactly ain't so much the point...

in a similar vein, the 12 tables of rome allowed a man to kill a man w/o a sound were he to intrude into his home after dark, but during the day he was first obligated to give a good old glorious shout out the window before wading in w/ the gladus

i might add, dave, i'm willing to bet you can whip up the superior sushi-meal of the trio of ye, and that andrew is the better beacon soloist of the lot of us, even if he did fucker of to colon-rado long ago...

i seem to recall the jews had the good sense, quite early in their history, to develop a talmud that had he pleasing affect to so adjudicate all the craziness of the torah so as to render it toof-less that said, didn't dude-er-onomy have good passages about killing folks who wore multiple cuts of cloth or sowed fields w/ more than 1 kinda seed?

not that old boy would need nor want me to stick up for him, but nope, there's no element to that story i unfurled (assuming that's what pink's referring to? it's the only thing i can think of) that was stalkerish in the slightest. just bitches talking shit about something they weren't within several hundred miles of when it went down... as to tvashie acting like an asshole on a regular basis on these here interwebz, sure, who'd contest that? boy likes to flip people shit, and this here is the place for it! his style is far more confrontational than mine, but then i spend my whole professional life w/ dipshits who i've a contractual obligation to suffer w/o complaint, so it's mostly just habit for me - it's possible he actually cares a great deal more than me about the way the world works out... if you, pink n' pat were all on jeopardy at the same time, though i've nuttin'but'wuf 4 the buncha you, i've no doubt where'd i'd place my bet! what're the odds either of you 2 dingle-berries could rattle off the classical laws of motion or expound upon the glories of the dear departed nicolas kepler, name the protections of the 3rd amendment offhand or sort out who stephen decatur was?

to link to rob's post re: the jews of medina, we can at least take comfort in the fact them thare mongols sure did grind out their corn-holes a few generations later

"The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters." - bob "genghis" khan

what's to tell? i seem to recall being there and the ensuing drama lasted all of 24 hours and involved a mere handful of hillbillies who had actually nothing to be wierded out about, and who were soon placated n' went away when the pic ole pat took w/o any protest at the time (and which was thoroughly unoffensive nor particularly interesting) was taken down... ...now that you promoted it to watergatian proportions, what was your point?

"no snafflehounds were harmed in the making of this humor"

i heard that dodge feller was a helluva climber back in the day...

of course you meant: allah akbar!!! here's to raping the horses and stealing the women

scores adn highlights? i know "medina" means a jewish quarter/city in an arab land, and that ole'muhammad was invited to the famous one at a time when he was in political peril in mecca, but was well known for his talents as a mediator seem to recall a big war on apostates after the old boy got pulled up to heaven on his golden chains, but i thought that was more against arab tribesmen who's conversions had been about personal loyalty to him as opposed to his creed...

wait, i thought we could blame the jews for dude-eronomy?
