Airlift...is that to LifeFlight as Sorny is to Sony or Magnetbox is to Magnevox?

alpine krack? is that some symptom of wiping with pine cones and stuff?

ah yes and the acoustics are terrible.

not to mention it will tear you to pieces.

alright yeah he sucks

set a year, let's go.

alright Keillor's not abominable. maybe it was just the fact I had to spend 4 years in Minneapolis/St. Paul

I'd rather not.

you forgot the sound of loud snoring following the last line. or maybe some midwest housewife rolling in the aisle about some ice fishing joke

judging by the conversations around here these days you should hold it at Thunderdome.

It's like Prairie Home Companion around here

funny you would know when registering today.

maybe they got that impression from reading this site.

I think NPR's war drum music is annoying too. What's with all this special music and stuff.

There's a million and 1 reasons why that's not true. One of which is they were introducing war coverage with a giant "WAR ON TERROR" emblem each time (not sure if they still are). That's misleading and suggestive.

is that the channel that introduces its coverage with screaming guitars and f-16s morphing into screaming eagles and shit? that station is hilarious. those anchors are some of the worst in the business and geraldo rivera needs to be thrown in prison. what an idiot.

hmm my guess is the "real-world" mechanical advantage of a 2:1 pulley system as outlined in intro mountaineering texts.

you're out of your f'ing mind bringing this one back from the dead.

where in sam hill do you get images like that? or do you make them yourself?

as opposed to the aristocratic mcdonald's supersize? mmm ... ghetto fries!

all I see is owls on skateboards owls on skateboards. Is this some pun on Tony HAWK?

maybe some snow shovels dangling from the knots? say, 15 between each partner? or dangling horsecock which could be consumed during glacier crossing. this would of course require a glacier where the real dangers lie early on. Maybe for descents where you pass through the firn line and back into the dry stuff.

yes but the ice worm thread lives on.

sounds like an A-Team episode (minus the obligatory scene of welding stuff and scrap metal collecting w/ 80's crap rock theme overlay)

I used to just eat the brick of noodles raw. If I was feeling gourmet, I'd sprinkle some of the salt packet on top.
