Right, who needs friends when you have everything you need right there in your bong?

What is your secret, human growth hormone, or platform shoes?

You should have rented a bulldozer.

You have to have a lead card before you can lead in the gym. Unless you already have enough experience to pass their test (which isn't much), you'd have to take their leading class.

Right, you are good for at least the three seconds it takes to impact with the car in front of you.

Anyone notice that a certain trad master has just given in to the Dark Side of the Force? I'll take credit or er... blame along with John.

And what would be the name of said establishment?

This is the Rockclimbing Forum, not spray. Give the guy some decent advice or shut up. Exit 38 is a good choice. There are fewer easy routes to be found at Exit 32. Go visit www.northbendrock.com. The Gritscone is a crag at the Far Side of exit 38 that is a good place to start sport leading.

I took my car to a Bellevue mechanic recommended by my friend korup. He was supposed to find out why the left front wheel was rubbing on the wheel well. While the car was on the rack he discovered that the previous owner or owner's mechanic had installed the front struts rotated 180 degrees from proper position. As a result, the brackets holding the brake lines were on the outside facing the wheels. The snow chains I had used on Saturday apparently had snagged the bracket on the right side pulling it so that the brake line was rubbing on the wheel rim. On the left side, one could see cracks in the brake line resulting from its having been bent at an extreme radius. Either line could have broken at any time resulting in a crash! Another mechanic who had recently replaced the left axle never noticed the problem. I consider myself to be very lucky.

Rudy. I didn't know you took up skiing?

Two words: dogs, peanutbutter

Bingo, you nailed it.

That would depend on how strong you brewed it. That's a hard question to answer. I'd say Green Tea isn't any more diuretic than regular tea and the Sherpas drink it all the time.

damnit. She told me she was 18 Don't worry. You'll be a free man in 18 more years.

Sniff. I smell hair burning. Burnt

No one said it would be easy being Olyclimber. When they made you an admisistrator, that clinched it.

I'm wearing an asbestos suit as I write.

I believe that many women are not consciously aware of the choices they make. They say they detest "jerks" and "a-holes". But this flies in the face of the huge number of unwed mothers out there. You may say that they didn't know they were getting involved with jerks, but I say yes they DID know.

Nothing like facts to kill a thread.

I believe that it's diuretic properties are owing to its caffeine content. It is pretty mild. I worked with extracts of Green Tea. It contains the most powerful antioxidants there are of these, epigallocatechin gallate is the most potent. It will auto oxidize in air in a very short time.

Lame only if was being insincere. How do you know if he is sincere or not Harry?

I may be wrong, but I think AE's intent was to be ambiguous. Let the responders define to what X refers.

I'll bet a lot of people could avoid catastophe if they just listened to that little voice in their head when it says, "something don't seem right here".

Hand out free nicotine gum and you'll make friends easily.

The smoking ban completely eliminates some people's excuse for not showing up. Now the arguments will have to be dive versus fern bar and Ballard versus anywhere else.
