When was the last time it took you three hours to climb 400 vertical feet? That's about three pitches.

They have greater freedom in the former Soviet Union than we have today in the "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave", thanks to John Ashcroft and GW.

Once they start, they can't stop. It begs the question why the dog even had access to the chickens. I keep chickens, myself, but they are in a coop. The coons would kill them otherwise.

No, I'm not a doctor, I've just absorbed a lot of medical knowledge by osmosis. If I were you, I'd trust my doctor, but try suggesting my idea and see if he goes for it.

I might have been a small black hole.

...and you turn to your partner and say, "Dude, would you settle for Orbit?"

How about Democratic senator Zel Miller saying he'll support President Bush in the next election because [/i]none[/i] of the current Democratic presidential hopefuls embrace American values? Fairweather, please tell us what are American values. Inquiring minds want to know.

Besides goats, snaffles are the only other animal that vies with climbers for the high places. They are cute, but they can chew through a rope. They are like the ying and yang. For that reason and others, snaffles will always be important on cc.com.

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, 'tis a sin you're talking about.

My guess is that after a month you could start doing snow slogs and easy ice in hard plastic boots. Your foot doesn't flex in them. It's the nearest thing to a cast. Just stay out of rock shoes for the full two months.

A couple of Mazama people from this site with whom you might like to speak include ChrisT and Ursa_Eagle.

This preceding collaboration was brought to you by trask and wrlwind. T and W will appear at Third Place Books to sign their new book, titled ________.

Necro, I thought certain you would also cite Blowjob.

Madame Opal, why is it that whenever I post in Spray, Iain and trask are not far behind?

That's a good reason to tie in to the anchor.

Thanks for reminding me Paul, I do intend to buy you that beer. Remember, I'd rather owe it to you all my life than cheat you out of it.

Not only are you a better climber but a better knife catcher.

Has anyone ever accidentally knocked a knife off the counter and grabbed for it. I've knocked knives off before, but don't ever remember grabbing for one. The reflex is so fast, you'd think there was no thought involveed, but there must be.

Where is the report? I might have been drunk, but I could swear I heard it on the news the other night. Just thought someone else might have heard the same thing. Dude, check out my arsenal... Gol Crickey, I am sure glad all that potential mayhem is kept locked up in a good safe.

Trask, if you are bored, you should try what many of us CC.com members do when we get bored- go climbing. It's really fun.

I was just reading about the Pig Shit Geyser in Franken's book. It was funny as hell, unfortunately it's true.

I think they finally came up with a good solution. They are going to seal off Saddam's home town. Read about it.

I live in Seattle and I checked at 9, and 11 pm, 2 am and 5:30 am and saw nothing.
