I thought it was the Wahmbulance.

Why are there biners clipped into biners? It's a strange setup.

Do you mean this place?

If Bush wins we all go out in a blaze of glory. Wonderful.

I read in the newspaper today that the Army plans to punish those responsible by issuing letters of "severe reprimand". No time in the brig.

What makes you think that he intends to pull the troops out? I don't think it is clear exactly what he would do.

It highly doubtful McCain, a Republican, would agree to run on a Democrat ticket, but what if he did?

That Amanda sounds like a horny one.

It doesn't matter which you do first, as long as you do both. One's breath will smell much better with flossing. If you need a reason to floss, what better reason than getting more .

My dad once helped my grandfather clear some brush so they could build a chicken coop on Long Island, New York. They made a pile and burnt it. There was poison ivy in the brush and he got the rash all over his entire body. He said it was horrible.

I think more of them should anchor where opportunities exist. You can anchor and still give a dynamic belay if you want. You don't have to stand tight against the anchor. You could have some slack with the anchor as a backup to prevent you from launching or crashing into the rock. It all depends on the circumstances.

Yes, it has been posted on cc.com before.

If you suspect you've contacted poison oak or ivy, try to avoid rubbing or chafing the area before you can wash thoroughly. Don't scratch with your fingers, it get's it into the skin and you'll be affected a lot worse.

I was rapping the route on Dark Rhythm and the anchors are so well camouflaged that I once went 15 ft or so past one of them on a 60 m rope. The Reverso in the "ratchet" mode would have been nifty for scrambling back up the slab to the anchor.

There are different types of tests. Some are just inexpensive screens that are less accurate and specific. However, once you are suspected, if they want to spend the money, they can use LC-MS and that data will hold up in court any day.

Next thing you know, DFA will win a set of ice tools. Luke, can I have your rope if you don't want it?

There was a case in which the berberine in goldenseal made a drug test come out POSITIVE. This got turned around in folklore to where it make the test come out negative.

All I'm saying is that if you get caught trying to evade or defeat the system, the consequences could be worse than a postive test result. Find out what the deal is. Most times you won't lose your job. Chances are they just have you talk with your supervisor and come to some agreement.

Jason, that put it over the top for me. I'm going to buy a reverso. They are so versatile.

I think you better have a good story. Maybe you got it second hand? Good luck, you'll need it.

The American press likes to portray the muslim world as a homogenious population, but in fact there are many different ethnic groups, sects, etc. The rabid ones represented by the cartoon above are still in the minority although a large one, but if we keep up with stunts like humiliating prisoners they WILL be the majority.

MrDoolittle was too nice to last as long as he did. If you come back, come back as a more Necrotic type avatar.

All you can do is spread the word about ethics to the new people when you see them and hope they get the message. Kids are born trashers until they learn otherwise.

Tell that to Dru, but only if you want to.

TLG, how do you finance your lifestyle?
