Since when does open-minded have to mean you like something? I gave religion its fair chance and determined it's crap. If it works for others, power to them. Just keep it out of my face. No, open-minded (in my view) is the exact sentiment you expressed. "Hey, it ain't for me, but you go for it if it makes you happy." Both sides are equally intolerant.

Take into account that Bronco is Irish, and therefore cheap as a tin cup. I never go cheap on gear that my life may depend on. I, on the recommendation/endorsement of several friends, purchased an Integral Designs Unishelter. It's totally bomber, comfy, and has a great hoop system that gives you some headroom. I've used it on a bunch of different occasions and woken up to rain and been totally comfy.

The peter principle works when applied correctly.

Besides, it's not like you'll leave a bunch of slings or a few pins bailing off a boulder problem.

It's all about balance, that's my point. When you feel this on hard climbs (that subsequently don't feel as hard as they should), it is awesome.

please expand. It's different for everyone, so I can only speak to what I experience. When you get to the point where you flow through a climb and become one with the rock, it's features, and climb them in the way that is most natural, that is the feeling. A true connection to the earth and the stone. I look for this more often than looking for the adrenaline rush; runouts are runout, they are just how it was supposed to be climbed that day. Enjoy.

Kurt's right as far as message board babble goes. In the business world, a shitty speller is nowhere. My uncle the attorney will throw away correspondence with spelling errors, rather than bother reading it. He says that if the sender is too stupid or lazy to proof read and correct his/her document, then they don't warrant his time. I've reviewed resumes and given recommendations to employers; those with spelling errors, or grammar errors, go right into the trash. Doesn't matter how many degrees or years of experience.

Man, and I thought WE had too much time on our hands.

Please, dude. You didn't just jism on your keyboard or anything, did you? Have some respect for yourself.

The education elite have thrown 'reason' out to be replaced with 'feeling'. Now kids are taught to process things on how it makes them 'feel' instead of applying reason and logic to solve problems. What a load of shit. No wonder you get so many college graduates who can't decide shit. More and more I meet employers who would give their right arm for a few good employees who were willing to stand up, make a decision (any decision), and stick by it.

The ability to clearly communicate is always nice, and what is missing in today's education.

That's great, tlg. Tuning in to what the rock wants you to do is an even better high.

Corona?! Sorority girl! Yeah, but I hear he swallows.

Yes, but now she's known as Adrien SAG-O.

Uh, uh, hommina hommina hommina...whoa!!!

I assume it errors on the high side and you just KNOW you're not THAT fat. Does sound to be a cruel toy. Probably better than getting the SO involved in the discussion though. Honey, do you think... ...these pants make me look fat? Correct Answer: No, your big ass makes you look fat. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!! Nice one, ehmmic.

Funny, his new bride was saying that quite often throughout their honeymoon.

THat's her height: 163-cm. Who the fuck knows, it's a Scottish thing.

Way to go, punk. Like these bone-smugglers don't have enough fodder.

His wife was All-Scotland Women's fencing champ in the sabre class. She showed me her medals.

Don't think that's her, but nice story. No, she smokes outside, but the smoker's laugh/cackle is a bit much.

Only when you apply Coleman fuel and a lighter. Which I would gladly do if it would shut her up.

I'm stuck in office hell: our chainsmoking receptionist is telling me stories about her cats!!! Oh, the fucking horror!!!!!!
