I still think this one's the weiner. I'd like to see a group of cc.com'ers, sporting teeshirts with the trask/doggee logo, show up at trask's booth at the boat show.

...and not an original thought in one of 'em.

DFA do you actually eat Boca bogus turdburgers??

Thread of the day yesterday. Lunatics and cockbiters!

Hadn't decided, but thinking about something similar to this. What should I bring? Should I take the obvious crack route up, or the alternate to the right? Like Twight I do not plan to summit, just downclimb after the good bits.

Gawd, OffWhite, you probably know what a popcorn surprise is!

Just the sort of post I would expect a "Luna" to make.

Let's be honest. What's the very last book you opened? The last book I opened was this morning, in the can. I keep several books in there for "inspirational reading." The book I opened and read a few passages from was the timeless "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. (The time before that it was a few passages in Gator's guide. Mike! )

just checked the med argument...it appears to be gone

Last I saw him he was arguing medical issues

keep drinking...I live vicariously through you and Gowans

Just finished Kiss or Kill. I liked Extreme Alpinism better.

Necro, who where at?

Sobo, That sounds about like our attitude. I guess my biggest beef with kids' life today is overscheduling. My wife and I agree that we don't like the idea of the kids having this grown-up kind school/soccer/dance/etc daily frenzy...but then you get sucked into it anyway if you are not careful. I want the kids to get outside, play in the dirt, climb trees, ride bikes. But that seems to compete with stuff that seems too 'adult' to me except in small doses.

I thought about this subject, and how in what seems like no time I've gone to the old-guy side of this kind of debate...which in turn reminded me of one time twenty-some years ago. First day on the summer job, tying steel on a large bridge construction job. As just-arrived college boy, I get the immediate prerequisite treatment. Big, older black dude speaks up loud enough for all to hear "I just got one question for you, boy...does you eat it?!" My answer ("Do fat girls fart?") seems to pass muster. A week later, the old guy sidles up and 'lows how he can't understand eatin' it...and even if he could, he wouldn't...'cause then his old lady would be onto him and his tomcattin' ways. I wonder whatever happened to the old guy we knew as "Bullshittin' Pete."

Sobo, for Gods sake don't fall for all that shit about not instilling competition in kids. They were born with it. I've got twins...we have avoided 'competition' when feasible...but they naturally compete, and kids to some extent thrive on competition! Just teach them not to be obsessed with it, but for goodness sake let them enjoy the natural pride of excelling. If you want no-nonsense old-school child raising advice, read stuff by John Rosemond.

Jeezus---look at that post. Yeti is Mtngoat! Yeti my man, you were right to start with...it's all in when you were born. I want real life, myself. Don't want no implants, no shave jobs, etc. That's just me.

He is NOT diving bush...he's chasin' the prepubescent look. And I bet Messner wouldn't be down with that, judging by his age and facial hair. Yeti, this habit that smacks of poedophilia and kink will be over in a few years. You will see the error of your judgement...but by then you will be past the age where you can go back and revisit the wonderfully-diverse array of bush that you never saw...

French-style: Right thumb

DFA: "and with the petit-fours, I will be serving up my famous tea and a little sherry, my dear..." Sinead: "cram it, Dr. Know. Gimmie another boilermaker and put this girdle on NOW!!"

regardless of E-Rock's credentials on the subject, he pretty much was on-target.

I think Gowans owes us a TR for this one...

I for one believe this is a caveman hoaxter. No coils or spitting yet from this new cavey. I want notarized signatures from three of his avatars stating it's really him.

hair iz where itz at...like a flag

I made the decision about 5 years ago: No more third world airlines. Never had worried about it much in past years, even though I had a harrowing experience aboard an Air India 20+ years ago.
