Climbing is not for him. I could see my daughter getting into it though.

If you are thinking, "Wow, that sure sounds like Dave Barry", then you are not alone.

My wife and son are Scrabble fanatics. They talked me into playing even though they always beat me. For once, I drew the letter A, giving me the opportunity to go first. My first word was "cwm", which neither of them had ever seen before. I just love that word because the letter W gets to serve as a vowel. My son looked up the word in the dictionary and told me it was the same thing as "cirque". Then he asked "what is a cirque?" Well, the game went as usual and I got my ass kicked again. Family members can be the most ruthless of all competitors.

Dru would never lie. He's a climber. We depend on a climber's honesty when when he claims a first ascent and his camera doesn't work.

Yes, we believe you- just as far as we can throw you, which isn't very far.

Is his name Ed and is he from Olympia? I know this fellow from South Carolina who sounds just ol' Foghorn.

This Tickle test came up some time ago and a bunch of people took it. Dru claimed some outrageously high score that few could believe. What was it Dru? I took the test a month ago and got a 133. Supposedly I did particularly well in geometric and spatial problems. After the test was done they tried to sell me a special report for $15. What a surprise.

Our Nimrod shot 70 pheasants. At about $20 per bird, that's a lot of money. I'll bet he didn't pay a cent.

I stumbled onto this site by happenstance. Mel Blanc was a comic genius.

Oh, no, not the battery filled sock. Not that! Anything but the sock.

Blimp is the protein and u-boot is the gene that encodes it. I think they interviewed a Canadian guy. It had to be the u-boat gene, but it sounded like "boot".

Why? Insurance.

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.
