and drank too much paint...

Not meaning to hassle you, but that would be repelling as opposed to repellent, wouldn't it???

Bowline = not the same as the uber-safe DBBB. Get your shit right. AMEN

worse than my crack smokin' daze!!! Plus i'm scared to turn my back on you...might get kicked in the

as long as its not your foot, i'm good... wouldn't be too sure bucko just remember its climbing season, so no crampons please...

Listen, you fuck any knot up and it will not work, right? Figure 8's have advantages and disadvantages, bowlines properly dressed have advantages and disadvantages...this is like arguing ford vs. chevy and then not changing the oil for 200k miles...both will die on you, duh! Personally, i'd rather tie in w/ a double bowline w/ a rethread...been doing it for 18 years now, averaging climbing (w/ lots of falling ) three days a week...haven't had it come undone under some big falls and am willing to bet you'll break the rope before the knot yields... Dumb discussion...

as long as its not your foot, i'm good...

Dear Tex...please look up term "dripping sarcasm" and explain to the class... she's actually a rockclimber pure and simple...not sporto not trado just climbero

awful lot of smack talking in here!!!!! Whew...can't stand the heat, i'm outta here...

No...she did not! It was an incomplete 8...

That's the anecdote in question! Yeah...but she's just a lame sporto, right??? [Dripping Sarcasm]

and let's not forget the case of LYNN HILL splatting from the top of the Styx wall at Buoux due to not finishing her figure 8...Guess what knot she's tyin' in w/ now?? GOOD OL' Bowline...

I think you'll find if you get on some of the harder routes, that your assumptions of "bumped up" grades is going the wrong direction...as well as the common "overbolted" theory...

YOU SEEING BEING FAT LIKE MYSELF, I HAVE LESS TO WORRY. SHORT PEOPLE ON THE OTHER HAND ARE AS GOOD AS SCREWED! yeah, but they'll smell "sheep" on you, and see a fat tasty sheep for a snack... Where you climbing this weekend?

YOU SEEING BEING FAT LIKE MYSELF, I HAVE LESS TO WORRY. SHORT PEOPLE ON THE OTHER HAND ARE AS GOOD AS SCREWED! yeah, but they'll smell "sheep" on you, and see a fat tasty sheep for a snack...

that's my whole point...they EAT people as opposed to mauling them...

LOL

Problem w/ your scenario and cats is that they probably wouldn't go for the "obvious" dumbass who's making a shit load of noise...They tend to grab solo people or small kids... I can't imagine many things scarier than a 150 lb hungry cat...you don't even know that they are there until its over...much rather run into bears (even grizzlies) than a cat...cuz if you "ran" into a cat, its cuz you've been invited to (be) dinner...shit, most bear attacks are just a plain old mauling (not that it can't kill you) and then they walk away...cat won't just be "walking" away...

I thought that was sex...

Not true for me. Just waiting to hear the song you'll be singing when you wake up!!

Ahhhh Hi jerome...the bat guano comment identified you!!!!!! HAHAHAHA...any fat chickas lately???

Ummmm....i'm w/ PLC on this one...

I seem to get the impression that many peoples' curriculums give them the summers/winter breaks/spring breaks off...not the case with jobs.

Yeah no shit...you kids don't know how good you have it...big freaking deal...couple of exam weeks followed by breaks and a whole stinkin' summer off...oh waaaah, the inhumanity of it ...sheeesh..

Damn dude...i miss those dirtbaggin' days...was going through an old photo collection from 91 and 92 and saw a few pics of craig story, james, you and everybody else at smiff...FFUUUUCKIING A i hate this job...just hate it... Have fun on your euro trip...i'm green w/ envy...wish i was going...
