Star Rainbow Sunshine Yes, I've known folks with those monnikers, not self inflicted but given to them by their parents!

I think Lummox is in the San Diego area, send him a PM

They have more important things to worry about:

Heh, if I recall correctly, in one of your past lives you thought you were a contender...

Oh, oh, bring 'em to Sausagefest!

I don't really care about football, but I must say I love the lisp in Griz' spelling, sounds very Sylvester to me.

Oooh, Mr. Chirp, tell us the story of Pope in the land of sport routes with bolt on holds! You're right about the gates locked behind you though, same thing happened to me on T-giving weekend at the area above Skookumchuck Lake.

Duh, so you can get two quarters back for the peep show.

Buck up little camper!

shut the fuck up and lead your sixty meters.

Put a whistle on every "S" and that makes you the gopher, chum.

March is usually too early for Rappel Rock, which is up around 9000' If all you've got is an afternoon, your best bet is to head to Chimney Rock. Chimney has a stellar selection of one and two pitch routes in the 5.8 to 5.11 range. I recommend (from left to right): Mistaken Identity 5.9: great wandery gear protected face and discontinuous crack climbing. bring small tricams Centerpiece: 5.10-: more of the same, with crux bulge at the top. Jungle Gym 5.10+: fun if you're feeling burly, rap at the end of p1. Shriveled Penis 5.11: Thin crack, worth doing just for name, but climbing is good. 2nd pitch is good 5.9 crack FIUTT 5.9 or 5.10: Name is acronym for "fuck it use the tree" and the route is 5.10 if you don't. Brilliant stemming, stay in the corner. 2 pitches. Stripper 5.8: Fun moderate, same start as FIUTT Crows Nest 5.10-: Splendid leaning corner, use a long rope and runners to string it into a single pitch. If I were going to do only one pitch there, this might be it. A little higher up the mountain Windy Point offers tons of options, but you'll spend more time in the brush getting oriented in the profusion of fins, while Chimney is a single very short approach. Oh, be aware that none of these are sport climbs.

MisterE's got a good point, if you'll look closely, you'll see that the goat has two pupils in the single eyeball. I think it was stillborn though, or at least died within the hour, and was likely brain damaged to boot. We're gonna have somewhere between four and six goats born at my place this spring, I'm banking on two eyes a piece.

Careful, word on the street is that the Doc has developed his mojo ninja martial arts skills, you might get a can of something else.

From Snopes: Happens to goats, related to false hellebore ingestion during gestation.
