"Quick open the F----- door, I'm gonna hurl!"

Yes, and your belayer was never the wiser.

"Seldom we find," says catbirdseat in Spray, "Half an idea in the profoundest posting. Through all the flimsy things we see at once As easily as through a E-Rock's boxers — Trask of all trash! — how can a lady don it? Yet heavier far than your bawdiest stuff— Owl-downy nonsense that the faintest puff Twirls into trunk-paper the while you con it." And, veritably, Dru is right enough. The general rude obscenities are arrant Bubbles — ephemeral and so transparent — But this is, now, — you may depend upon it — Stable, opaque, immortal — all by dint Of the dear names that lie concealed within 't.

Yes, but he got no fewer than four avatars into his verse. Gotta give him credit (or blame) for that.

When the Leading Index takes a sharp downturn, the Federal Reserve Board doesn't rush to lower interest rates. They don't call a recession a recession until there have been three or four quarters of poor numbers. By the same token, we should not call this a recovery until we have seen three quarters of positive growth.

I dropped a biner on lead once. Looked down to see my belayer catch it with one hand. "Keep it, it's yours", I said.

Trask, you are so full of shit it is gushing from every one of your bodily orifices.

Nanda Devi, by Shipton and Tilman.

Snow caves are a lot of work and you get wet digging them, but they may be worth it if you are going into an area for several days where you can use it as a base camp. If you need somewhere to escape the wind for say an hour so break, you can dig a snow pit in about ten minutes and get a tarp over it. It can be a pretty good place to take an extended break.

Show me the jobs.

That will happen if it rains, or if it is warm, or if you dig your cave in unconsolidated snow.

I think I'm being ridiculed.

I've got this mental picture of Dru belaying Mattp. Matt falls and Dru pulls his trusty slide rule out of his back pocket, "Ah, just a minute, Matt, while I do a quick calculation".

Elephant Snaffle

BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere! ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me?

"It's only a flesh-wound come here and fight".

BTW, what are "army circles", in the context of trask. You and the boys at the coffee shop on Saturday morning?

They should just use one of these. Everything is a trade off, trask. The tank is already so heavy it is hard to transport, uses too much fuel and collapses roads and bridges under its weight. I don't think cost was the main issue.

Indeed, trask, a powerful troll.

But it's anecdotal data CBS! Can't make valid scientific inference out of that now can we? I think you would have a better point if you also post to this thread everytime you hear of someone taking a lead fall where they were not reeled in. Also, present lead falls where the person was reeled in, but wouldn't have hit anything anyway. Then we'll have something to talk about. It was not anecdotal, since I was there. So it doesn't prove that you can always reel in a falling leader. It proves that sometimes you can.

An elderly couple had been fighting and finally agree to go to a marriage councellor. The wife speaks first, "my husband, Ralph, has three habits that have been the bane of my existence. First of all, he never washes. Then he's always picking his nose, and finally when we have sex, he never let's me be on top." The councellor asks Ralph why he does these things when he knows it irritates his wife. Ralphs says, "You see, it's my father's fault. He was always telling me, 'Son, don't get in hot water, keep your nose clean, and don't fuck up'."

I sure hope the old bitch could walk on water.

We should just create a NEW BEST WAY INTO PRUSIK FORUM.

I believe the truth is that the bank was giving out guns and that the filming of it was staged because the bank would not cooperate. It doesn't change the salient facts or the point he was trying to make. Call it lying if you will.

Now that you have the equation you can discuss how you use it. For example, if P is high, you can decrease R by decreasing T. In other words by going fast. If you are not in top shape and can't go fast then maybe you don't want to go at all.
