haven't humans been posing w/ their kills since forever-fuck ago?

no shit - i can drink a 5 liter box of burgundy in a day if properly motivated

leaving for the valley in a hair more than 24 hours n' trying to finish up the school year too so not much time to choke my muse's chicken

wouldn't it just be cheaper to take a chopper to the summit?

the Management makes no guarantees

hopefully they hand-drilled all them bolts?

the webbing on my old buckle-system is much wider than the new setup...course, that old system did occasionally give me fits trying to thread it back through.

yeah, that's what i've been doing, it just seeeeeems so sketchy compared to the old buckle system

we briefly considered muscling some of them giant boulders into the road to delay yer departure never could make out your ant-sized ass all the way over there

what the fuck, can't figure out how to tie into the new version of this harness - they lost the buckle in favor of a dipshit webbign closure system - do you just tie in through the leg loop and behind the webbing? or is it supposed to be wound through the eyes on either end of the harness too? their website is bullshit...

enjoyed my first trip out there just fine - better than sex, coecocounut bridge, dragonspine, excalibur, trench warfare n' rad/plaid/glad - the scruffy approach trail is great prep for the routes! great work there bill, and my apologizes for breaking one of the 2 reading room chairs w/ my gargantuan ass

it freaks me out b/c once i fell, solo, all the way from the top of the w crater rim down to just above the hot rocks, yet walked away w/o even a scratch - i picked up so much spend on the initial fall that, even though i eventually got my axe in, it did nothing until the angle finally eased up at the bottom. was he wearing a helmet?

was it icier than usual? stonefall? what do you think happened? it's so hard to imagine mark just falling, he was such a beast...

the plague got real boring after the invention of antibiotics - malaria, on the other hand, has got some fucking legs to it, and hendra virus, holy-shit, there's a rollicking good time!

my best typo ever on a current evetn test: Large Hardon Collider

damned cunning linguists

sleeping in yer inflatable kayak - genius! who says there's no black folk in oregon?

people never ponder on the important things...

my new word-crush of the week, from hbo's "veep," is, in reference to a true fool, "weapons-grade retard."

your spring runs are becoming quite the annual event pix or it didn't happen!

his beacon routes are some of my favorites, and my hazy recollections of meeting him are nothing but positive "wise king, do not grieve. it is always better to avenge dear ones, than to indulge in mourning for everyone of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. let he who can achieve glory before death. when a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark."

holy shit! that dude was an animal. was he on the dog route? heard conflicting things north vs south side. terrible.

...weren't hard enough already!

i wish i were a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas

i've had the pleasure of working in 3 school systems where the union was mostly unnecessary, but that hardly means that public unions should just fuck off - some bosses can be koch-smokers, and some systems ready to throw their employees on the fire before cutting other unnecessary costs - the union needs to be there for when shit is fucked up.
