Them thar's fightin' words, Kurt.

Try logging in as daisy and let us know.

"The result was all he had hoped for. During the next four hours he felt his spirits rising higher until he reached a state of freedom and serenity which he claims, has been with him ever since." The operation was a success. He had performed a prefrontal lobotomy on himself.

I just loved this sentence: "Strangely enough, not one member of the medical profession has been converted."

If the tourniquet stops the bleeding, I don't see any reason not to top out.

OMFG

I think we're going to have to press the state for that Sno Park now.

Okay, let's say he is taking the cordellette with him. If you compare the "non-girdling" set up to a single sling tied around the tree, you will note that there are two knots that could fail. Therefore, you have twice the risk of dying.

Let's get back to the original post. Daler, the cordellette in the photo is backing up the yellow cord, is it not? I presume you plan to remove the cordellette after the first climbers has rappelled? The second climber has no back up. Is this correct?

Thou also mockest, O thief, and when threatened, dost stretch out to me the indecent finger! Alas, unhappy I! that the thing is but wood which makes me seem fearsome. But no matter, I will charge the lecherous owner of the garden that he may be willing to irrumate the thieves for me.

I get the credit or rather blame for "discovering" that bit of BW4. Lovely, wasn't it? Picture wet doug firs of 1" diameter spaced about 12" apart. Add a 45 degree slope with about 12 inches of new snow. Now wet the trees down thoroughly. It made for a good workout, though.

The squeaky wheel get's the grease. Tech Workers Unite should make a campaign contribution. It will get his ear and I think it would be more effective than supporting the opponent.

The only other way I can think of besides a 1/3 rope length rap, would be a retrieval cord. That's another thing to get tangled. What you want is a spool of cotton or other organic cord material. If it get's stuck, at least it will decompose quickly.

From the article: "How about getting back to basics and enjoying some magical mushrooms with your loved ones this solstice? What better gift can a family share than a little piece of love and enlightenment?" I think it's pretty funny when hallucinations are called "revelations" and "enlightenment".

I think he does care. It's called sour grapes.

That's totally lame when you don't even need the damn straps in the first place. A couple of tucks with a needle and thread and it would have been fine. Could have scrounged that off of some campers or the ranger somewhere. Don't go painting everybody with the same brush, just because one guy lacked resourcefulness.

I think it means "good" but more precisely "fabulous", "wonderful" or stylishly elegant. Only Timm@y really knows precisely and I think he'll tell you if you have to ask, you'll never get it.

I knew snaffles were good for something.

The sling gets left behind as trash, but at least it doesn't hurt the tree.

You were nameless until you named yourself. No you did not commit. I was just having a little fun at your expense. Sorry dude.

Our lab is definitely not union. When we needed a plywood shelf for the new robot I just brought my truck and Skil saw on a Sunday and stopped at Home Despot. The boss had his shelf on Monday, which happened to be the day the robot arrived, three days early. The robot was churning out product by the next day.

Klenke, you remind me about a guy who told me he strained his back leaning over a counter. How lame is that?

There is a tree at the top of Dogleg Crack at Alphabet rock in Leavenworth. I caught a guy preparing to rap by putting the rope around the tree with no sling. This is so suck when there is an easy walk off. I had a rap line ten feet away and told him to go use that.

Chad Kellogg, I'm not.

Glacier, your South Park song more properly belongs in the Non-PC thread. Bwaaahhaaaa.
