wait, i thought you said you went to virginia tech? come to think of it, the only time i ever went to that campus was for the purpose of getting "higher"

buzz killer? and thread drift besides - let's stay on the subject of nasty shit people will eat for no good goddamn reason!

all these stories are of course total bush-league bullshit compared to the big boys, the folks who have the condition known as "pica" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(disorder) contents of one such gentleman's stomach

i fucking love this modern bit of internet-glory

wait! you were there too! can't claim to have been anythign other than a bystander - the instict to test one's ability to consume revolting things is happily one i seem to have evolved away from

buddy dan's meathead friend took the drink-a-gallon-of-milk-in-a-hour challenge (which i've never heard of anyone succesfully managing) - they were in morocco at the time - they couldn't find cow milk so settled for the camel sort - didn't have a hotel room so it turned into a piece of street theater whereupon they collected a fair amount of cash from bemused bystanders - he made even more off the crowd when he began retching in a container and, in a frantic effort honor the spirit of the bet, began to re-imbibe the vomitus - alas, it was not to be, and he spent the next several days in the third world w/ the violent shits, thereby winning friends and gaining influence on every tightly packed bus they rode. none of this kept he from reattempting the challenge (unsuccesfully) 5 more times. heard he's working for some senator now. his past is probably not a liability

jesus, didn't you kids read "how to eat fried worms" when you were young(er)? you got to CHEW the motherfucker for the bet to count! goldfish in your beer, on the other hand, is legit just to chug however, as i've noticed they tend to become deceased damn near instantly upon entering their new aquatic environment

dumbest food bet i ever saw was at my rehearsal dinner 'fore the wedding - my best man bet my fresh-in-the-army little brother a cool franklin that he couldn't drink a full bottle of worchester sauce in a minute. it took all of 10 seconds to settle the dispute got a picture of the process on my wall at school w/ a helpful caption to teach the kidz: "don't make meathead bets w/ meatheads"

churches! churches!

the wife made a bitching dinner of pho using leftover turkey last night - i kinda od'ed on the pepper sauce additives though and have been experiencing certain, um, issues this afternoon

any port in a storm? especially when the port is well-stocked w/ buxom women and heady brews?

how badass would it be to come down from el cap, go the bar, then head right back up again?

seems like you're set to be the big weiner

as a teacher of high school government classes, i doubt those who fail to turnout have much to say that's worth listening to "make stuff gooder!!!"

ran into that frosty ammon feller n' his girlfriend who did the 1st repeat this summer - it was plain to see they were incredibly jazzed to be on it

To each his own....but I usually don't put fun and aid-route in the same sentence. this looks pretty boring, right? shiiiit, kev, you'd dig it the most - w/ a fine portable stereo you could spend the whole belay session rocking out to 5150!

To each his own....but I usually don't put fun and aid-route in the same sentence. really, who can't find hanging 30 feet off the ground on a loooong row of traversing rurps fun?!?

wife n' kids bought there tickets for back east tonight, so.... jesus, my life always seems so goddamn busy that when i finally get a chance for a true expedition, i realize i've gotten everything lined up except the partner

I have to work on Saturday. I was thinking of Ozone on Sunday for the sake of getting a bunch of climbs done there. dood, if you haven't done "go back to the gym" on the bat wall, there's a fun aid-route! bring yer rurps n' birdbeaks n' shorty knifeblades

sounds like it passed this evening, and the house having passed already a similiar bill, will likely make the obama's desk - part of a 2/3 of a trillion $ budget bill...
