  1. what kinda file?
  2. the unabomber'd know!
  3. waiting for the worms - pink floyd worms - the pogues "The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out The ones that crawl in are lean and thin The ones that crawl out are fat and stout Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out Your brains come tumbling down your snout Be merry my friends Be merry"
  4. no better way to feel yer a man than to piss on some folks epic plan to ascend the icicle-buttress-wand!
  5. can't remember bill - have i treated you to the all hip-belay ascent of the se corner that i like so much? it really wigs out the younger crowd i've found i don't even think jim notices!
  6. i'm in a teacher's union and it isn't anathema to me to see higher pay for jobs that are actually harder to fill - that seems like straight market economics to me - if you wanna reduce my pay so you can pay a math teacher more though that will be pissing me off, as well as insinuating that what i teach (social studies) is less valuable that math/science in the grand scheme of things.
  7. last year's was much more of a rock-climbing fest as i recall - looks like this year'll be different!
  8. yes abject poverty
  9. don't know if it's for me, but "rastaman chant" was bob marley's memorial song and a damned fitting one
  10. i'd imagine the road will be open by the end of the month, but cna't imagine it being much earlier
  11. screw the cordelletes - just use the climbing rope - much simpler and faster
  12. versus private school, which is not enough school, and too much fucking jesus I go to private school and we definitely do enough school that's b/c you don't go to a private school in the united states of jeebus
  13. "STFU, donny"
  14. versus private school, which is not enough school, and too much fucking jesus
  15. "enjoy when you can, endure when you must" - Goethe ...course, he WAS a kraut ass-munch...

    Beacon

    that's no thumb, that's a huge, inflamed cock at the prospect of clambering up jensen's ridge (the divide between light and shadow in the pic and now MOSTLY free of poison oak )

    Beacon

    so long as beacon's being photoshopped, they might have added a goddamn full moon, eh?
  20. drove past it y-day and it was in fine shape, assuming you're not a little girl
  21. no, i never attempted to seduce tvash - he's too hairy and ill-tempered for me
  22. this pic of me shows the current depth of sinkage on the sun-blasted southern slopes (note: i'm 6'7") the north side is very icy all the way up the road to the colchuck lake split off, then rapidly just as deep - skiing the sherpa glacier right now would be dreeeeeaaaaammmmy
  23. 10 degrees out in a 32 degree bag = yummy very enjoyable climbing snow plastered loose rock on the ridge in plastic boots - beacon rock in fall and winter proves a great simulator of such suck conditions freeze dried lasagna > chicken terayaki > dog poo > beef stew rappelling over, under and through godzilla sized cornices is a great way to get in touch with the savage jesus which one of you wierd fucks left the "into the wild" sappish-make-fuck-with-nature message near the colchuck lake cutoff? i'm still scrubbing my brain with a steel-wool brush trying to etch out the encrusted cheese... one of these days i'm going to go somewhere in the stuart range where i can follow a trail the whole damn way
  24. "Dangers: Almost every instance of noodling involves minor wounds. Although superficial cuts are received with every catfish caught, this can be avoided to an extent by wearing gloves and other protective clothing. Even so, losing fingers is a real risk, whether from the bite or infection. A slight danger of drowning exists, as most holes are far enough down in the water that diving is required to reach into them. A person confident in their swimming abilities may be caught off guard by the sudden added strain of carrying a large fish to the surface. Spotters can alleviate this danger, but it is still present. It is possible that statistics on noodling deaths are not available or accurate due to the depths at which many catfish live. A severely wounded noodler ten to twenty feet underwater might not have the physical capacity to return safely to the surface of the water, resulting in the official cause of death as death by drowning. Another danger lies in one's clothes, getting tangled or snagged on roots or rocks. To avoid this, many noodlers will dive wearing nothing more than their shorts. The largest danger posed to noodlers are other forms of aquatic life found in catfish holes. Far more dangerous than catfish are alligator, beavers and snapping turtles, who will take over abandoned catfish holes as homes of their own. These animals are always on the mind of experienced noodlers."
  25. in the same way you miss banging the b cup chick back when you were 16, i'll warrant...
