it very well coulda been coke's not pot...every person i ever knew that got into coke at a young age went down in flames big time anyway, the law's clear enough - this kinda stuff has to be reported to admin not sure how Big Bro it is - mostly i like looking at kids ipods just to see what kinda music they're swinging too these days - i looked at one once revealing the kid was a mega-bon-jovi fan - i had no idea what to think about that

i've always assumed that's why the admin folks got paid more than me - "here ya go, have fun w/ this one!"

no not kiddie porn in the sense that there were no sex acts depicted or nudity - just kids in their underwear rubbing all over each other

as quoted from alfred, lord tennyson

also pics of drinking bad mexican beer 15 yr olds count as adults?

the waning years of the bush the II white house?

no

word ipods and cell-phones feature prominently on the list of shit my daughter won't be getting from me, followed by a car less than 20 years old i guess these are the kids of parents from the cocaine-era though...

confiscated an ipod in the midst of a lecture (what, is my verbage not pleasing to you? do my stories not take a life of their own?) figured since she made a big deal out of refusing to hand the thing over until after she turned it off that i oughta take a look at it since she didn't have her headphones, thought the pictures folder might be the right thing to check out pictures of your students prancing around in their underwear, getting frisky w/ one another, drinking beer and snorting coke - priceless! if only i could share w/ the group w/o crossing some sorta ethical boundary....

Microscopic-American?

another from my own experience (already 30 meters up an ice-cliff, as we go to rope up having just scared shit out of ourselves getting to the tiny ledge we stopped on): "i thought you had the rope?"

Judged from today's 'enlightened' worldview, this is truly sad and injust. But judged from the values of a different time, then this seemed to be rather the norm than the exception. I have a hard time grasping the idea of genicide. Being that there were no men of fighting age (or very few)in this camp and they attacked at dawn and shot old men, women and children it was more of a extermination campaign against the indians. They even mutilated the bodies which later the indians copied with Custor and were called barbaric sounds like your talking about sand creek, not wounded knee the sandcreek massacre occured before "custer's last stand" which in turn occured before the wounded knee massacre atrocity highlights from sand-creek: - black kettle had his nuts chopped off and turned into a tobacco pouch (he was a venerable and friendly indian chief who'd been given an american flag to fly over his tent to show his "civilian status", he'd brought his people to a local army fort for protection when other tribes had started hostilities - that fort then turned on him) - soldiers placed bets on the gender of fetuses inside slaughtered women and then performed dissections to settle the bet -some soldiers removed the ovaries of dead indians and laid them out on their saddles for souvenirs "bury my heart at wounded knee" is an excellent read on the subject - an early attempt at "revisionist" history

my email signature, from lionel terray: "Philistines may think that we were madmen indeed to go through such suffering and danger to arrive at this lonely spot. What did you hope to find there, they may ask. Glory? Nobody cares about young fools who waste their best years in meaningless combats far from the eyes of the world. Fortune? Our clothes were in rags and next day we would go back down to a life of slaving for the barest essentials. What we sought was the unbounded and essential joy that boils in the heart and penetrates every fibre of our being when, after long hours skirting the borders of death, we can again hug life to us with all our strength. Nietzsche defined it thus: `The secret of knowing the most fertile experiences and the greatest joys in life is to live dangerously.'"

sand creek massacre, my personal favorite

the "sorry i was so slow on outerspace" troll

i like quoting myself - to layton while leading pitch 5 on free lunch this past weekend as he was making some angry, grumpy noises: "dude - is this a freakout?"

yeah - but all that goes out the window when you lose your balls!

shotcreting x38

and, having googled on the subject, did you ask yourself the same question many a man might have asked? why in the fuck name yourself after a ball-less, brain-less bird? the wahoo, on the other hand, is a most admirable creature to emulate...

We'll forgive you. Cville produced some fine climbers as well and I spent many high school afternoons bouldering at Mormans; know of any other UVa / Cville people on CC.com? not a one - everyone looked at me like i was a lunatic when i told 'em i was heading for the left coast - guess they thought humpback rocks was The Edge!

favorite simpsons quote (from a robot): why?!? why was i made to feel pain?!?

i'm a cavalier, so i'll be very haughty to all ya'll beyotches now while conveniently overlooking the fact that we can't seem to beat ya'll at a damn thing

why doesn't my picture show? ah well, here's another!

i'm 230 lbs - under what conditions could i put 11 kN of force onto a piece of pro? (not a rhetorical question - just curious and havne't taken physics in awhile )
