"old soldiers don't die, they just fade away..."

seems like it'd be hella more dangerous than on a cliff too! i've been reading "salt" lately, a history of that tasty product, and it mentions that over the previous centuries dozens of salt miners from celtic times, 2k+ years ago, have been unearthed in salt mines where caveins trapped them - the salt in the caves generally totalled preserved their corpses and even increased the brightness of their clothes the closest i care to get to caving is climbing "the mines of moria" at smiff

so what is the caving application? trying to cut a hole through a wall so you can keep exploring? why would you want this?

i'm not concerned about us being bs'ed again to support a potential invasion of n korea - unlike iraq, we would stand very little chance of having a great sucess against near impregnable defenses of the dmz - the conclusion of the korean war (well, never really any conclusion, but the final year of intense fighting) was clear: conventional weapons can not yield victory there, at least not w/o ww2 levels of casualities. we'd have to nuke them, and that's way too crazy to happen, imho.

it's not hard to understand why a person who was literate in history would be slow to decry a group a people as worthy of destruction based on their creed (or quick to harsh on jesusanity)

badasses don't die! get well curt, and why not stop pissing off thor while yer at it?

"call me sir goddamit!"

delineating between the stupidest/cruelest/best/worst of faiths when they all involve believing in an invisible man/woman/spaghetti-monster in the sky is an inherently silly enterprise

what if bigbigbigger has no legs, huh? suppose he's crawling fromt he top of the lift? would ya give him shit then? i might have a personal ethic about not paying to get up those first few thousand miserable feet, but it sure don't apply to my booze - can that go for free?

oughta work well at g-bay, to end the thread drift: "chew it! chew it, you haji-fuck!"

for years i've been tryign to secure the patent rights to bacon bubble gum - folks keep telling me that there's no market, but i gotta biiiiig dream

dude - you can easily huff up 5 liters of wine and a handful of limes/oranges - make iced sangrias on the snow dome baby!

sucks - not the first casualties on denali this year either...

torture i think is listening to the debate on torture - why couldn't i have been born a bottle nosed dolphin? those fuckers seem to be, oddly, rather more grounded...

curiosly, this phrase makes me incredibly hungry

your "most fucked up religion on the planet" award must take into account the entire history of the religion, no? the recent outbreak of muslim insanity can be balanced against a great deal of stabilty and reasonability in the previous centuries. at any rate, no matter what they profess, most folks' true religion is greed, and that is no doubt a better candidate for your vaunted accolade

how about this entry for the hindus and sikks?

willie lee (aka jack brown) musta told you about the perils of mexico?

in the spirit of the conservation of suck, y-day somebody broke into my car and stole my wedding ring (time to buy my 4th one for the same wife!), watch, wallet, school bag i've been using since my student-teacher dayz, sunglasses, shoes, shirt, etc. so....fuck yesterday!

spending a 120,000 years asleep would sure solve a lot of my financial problems - maybe i'd even be able to grow a beard by the end of my nap?

hadden flats, just a mile or two outside the park entrance, is ghetto maybe, but its free and only 30 minutes or so from the valley - didn't see another soul there when moof and i were there last month.

road was driven on memorial day by pete_h, so it appears fixed now

it feels like heresy coming from me, but might i suggest simply skipping the drugs? i didn't need/use them on denali (well, at least not diamox ) and if you're just trying to use them as a crutch and skipping acclimatizing, you're creating a potentially dangerous siutation for yourself.

your a canuckistanian dru - how long you reckon before your maple-syrup loving countrymen remove the offending stone?

fistfights in the buffet line?
