f'n'a - awesome beta gatherage! so sounds like good cruising?

a great feeling, and a sneaky one too, to have porked that fabled whore life for a few rare minutes, good n' proper!

alpine fires in safe conditions i'll always cherish the dumbass look on my ra's face, that first year of college, the day that the gideons showed up and passed out free bibles to all of us on the way to class - roomie and i got like 20 of them, built a bonfire on the sidewalk outfront of our door and lit it up - ra walks by - "what are you doign?" "burning bibles - want one?" - a look of complete incomprehension - slack jaw - open mouth - furrowed brown - seconds pass in silience, marred only by crackling genesis' and exodus' - reboot - program failure - warm reboot - mangled response - "but you're going to set the sidewalk on fire" "uh...it's raining...and its concrete?"

what's aslan doing to that poor centaur?

say what you will about the mounties as an organization, but their text book definitely deserves a tug - how many folks out there taught themselves to climb, largely on the strength of that opus magnus? x1

didn't i note that on like page 2 (and yet call on it to make me spray-famous (i did it ma! i'm the king of the world!!!!!!!)))(fuck, how many ellipsis in was i?) wish i could do the jet-setter cragging-lifestyle thang - i gotta get by w/ dank ass beacon stone and hella-thin craptacular hood ice

steam-tunneling - also a favored activity at uva (good to see you fucking rednecks were good for somethign) a trip to tri-cities the year after college lead to a clibm up the s side of hood which just blew my fucking doors off and led to a serious OCD addiction to all things clmibing - i remember me n' me friend bob doing our first climbs on limestone death-traps in shenendoah park, then spending the whole next week replaying every motion in me mind - sickness! after seneca it was done...

i'm waaaay past you - i: - run a half-marathon everytime joe quotes someone and then writes a full paragraph point-by-point retaliation - do 50 pullups everytime pink puts in a pop-up lizard - do a brace of bench presses using me wife and 2 kids each time kevbone posts ANYTHING - run 3000 vertical feet on the stairmaster each time geoff can be dragged out of his lurker-ness to weigh in - and jerk off w/ a self-imposed deadline of 30 seconds anytime i double-post b/c i'm so haaawt waiting for the next reply

Ha, you have me dead to rights there; sorry, I just haven't seen it when it's been on display. and see there mark, we can all get together for a big homo-huddle now - joe can admit he's wrong sometimes! i'm off to the (gay) gym - see all you wankers out there 2morrow

my favorite knock-knock joke knock knock who's there control freak - now you say control freak who!?!

when i read this it makes me think you're climbing w/ a comet I was. His first climb at Beacon was walking down the trail, stopping, looking up at Stone Rodeo and onsight sending what in all likelyhood was the FFA. what's the story on his name then? - i was just assumign you were clmbing w/ some man-hating hypenating-chick dammit! all this blather makes me wanna coerce one of my would-be partners tomorrow into ditching the jensen's ridge plan! just so we could get bill's next episode headlines!

it's all for the greater good of getting me my flamey icon on my tr! this is the edge!!! you can't quit now until we have 1500 views or 100 replies dammit! kev, joe is right about the right place to belay from on this pitch (too much of a traverse in the middle of what would be a monster pitch of 60 meters), and probably right about the impending shrapnel not hurting folks below (the belayer would be fine for sure), though i for one was not happy at what i figured would happen to me as the leader if the thing went. a week later though i'm very willing to stick my head back into the cannon though. as far as being a drunken-ape climber, i think i can be plenty delicate if need be joe - i got up that first crux on takes fist that buggered you and that requires plenty of balance and finesse w/o gear to yank on

when i read this it makes me think you're climbing w/ a comet

nice - now on to 2000! and a little flamey icon!

uhmm, wtf are you talking about? i didn't ruin shit up there and in fact left when i was worried about bringing it down - duh! still, say i went back there and it came down - would this give you the right to label me as clumsy? fuck no - like bill's pic shows, rocks do become progressively more unstable over time, and someday a butterfly will fart on that panel, and it will come down - or will it be b/c the buttefly's clumsy?

ever notice how people who don't believe in evolution look really un-evolved?

iain and i had a very spicey descent nov 1 a number of years ago on bullet-proof black ice, but it went - at any rate, if you can get to the summit, i'm sure you can get back down again. be careful on the west side - in warm conditions the shit that comes down it is often no-joke.

both luethold and the reid are worth checking out - if it's warm they'll be raining shit though, so be ready to bail back to the south side

what the hell should i do w/ my one day of freedom? another crack at silver crow? was thinking i should do jensen's again this season. maybe see just how much jeff's hard work was worth it this past summer? but then i've also wanted to do the last pitch of flight time since last year(if only the thought of hanging off that goddamn worthless anchor wasn't so nasaeuating) repeat ground zero? to riverside? to top out? the time doesn't feel right for smooth dancer - i'm thinking that'll have to be next summer... why did the wet winter have to up and get here so damn fast? ow, wait, what was that one wayne mentioned above land of the little people? shit!

dave - me n' geoff and maybe my friend mike will be out 'roudn 730 saturday - i think jim and a friend will be out aroudn 10 after that and geoff will taking them up young warriors

if kevbone was actually a chick, and hot, and the both of you were naked and covered in butter, ya'll's tart little bitchy exchanges would be much more compelling spray - as it is, it's kinda like watching 2 retards trying to hump a doorknob

would that have been the first botched nose job in history?

you got that metal working thang on the brain these days no doubt

gives a whole new meaning to: "kneel before zod!"

i don't pretend to understand the complexities of the national finances as i can't even do that for my own meager treasure still, i suppose i could get myself worked up over this if you could explain to me how paulson's actions were in no way pursuant of fixing the overall economy, which no doubt would be repudiated by someone else and leave me wanting to drill a large hole out of my ::
