yup, you can always cheat death, even when your hands are frozen and you've dropped yer prusiks

I kept thinking why is this psycho jumping! Next time just yell "FALLING!". Was that the same day I lost (and later you gained?) a #5 C4? a mind like a steel-trap you have! that poor #5 stayed a year before someone musta cut it out w/ a blowtorch off: do tell

it sounds like your mind is not flexible enough - i recommend a strict no-food/no-water psilosibin regimen until you get the desired result (or you have a schizophrenic breakdown )

none of ya'll get to say you climbed wrong gull unless you do the second pitch! the highlight of that for me was screaming at old walla walla ken - "dude, i'm gonna fucking jump!" when i'd deduced after 30 minutes of sweating, contorting, and screaming that i couldn't get through the hateful ow w/o dislocating every bone in my body - ken: "what?!?" me: "i'm fucking jumping...right...now!!!" ken: "what? wait!!!" me: "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" as i fell 40 some odd feet back down the route luckily, the insane yosemite style ow can be overcome via a thin crack off left, but godamn it's stout!

the whole bear race might not be looking for revenge on him i hope?

besides running into him sometimes at the crag, the way i kept up w/ bill was through the board what got him banned?

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known." - Charles Dickens how long does he have to serve detention for jake? if i'm friends w/ both him and tvash, do i get special weight in asking for him back?

i heard karl was kruelly killed...

i think the point is, no matter your politics or when, if ever, you vote, the rich own the government and its they that call the shots. the odds of ever changing that are infitesimal, but if it makes anybody feel better, maybe we could rebuild the ole'guillotine and throw down, french style for awhile? Fortunately, the people that forced change throughout history weren't as pessimistic as you are. more like i'm pessimistic enough to see that not much has changed throughout history

my wife is instead hoarding bizarre quantities of ramen noodles, canned chicken and baby wipes in the garage

cool picture - i like the crying judge and the smug teacher fuck on the lower right i'm pretty certain jefferson woulda shit himself if he saw himself at j.c.'s right hand

people have alwasy been into end of the world trips in a big way - seriously - it's what got christianity off the ground

the rumors of your demise were greatly exagerated

you know my ways, as if born to them!

mango daquiris were the only liquids i consumed for the week i spent in jamaica and that's how i discovered i was allergic to mangoes

it was nice when i used to have money to buy gear the 10$ fleece pullover i got at old navy a decade ago (baby blue bitches!) is still holding up well!

badasses don't die, so what do they need vacines for?

they still make lead pipes? aren't those, like, dangerous or somethign? maybe them asians finally put all their shit back together after ww2, eh, and it just turned out that treading water, w/ a lead-pipe no less, didn't exactly work as a long-range plan? the fact that many students do well despite crappy teachers is excellent evidence for the importance of intrinsic motivation in students, the motivation they bring to the table, over the extrinsic motivation, the magic, that we assume god-like teachers can use to suddenly convince little johnny that shooting crank and having sex w/ his cousin isn't half as cool as doing calculus i have a gibbon quote on my wall at school: "but the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superflous." gibbon probably got the crap beat out of him on a daily basis for the first 20 years of his life though
