Billy, I had a former partner who NEVER remembered to bring toilet paper. That wasn't all he forgot. It was an "asymmetric" relationship that didn't last.

Michael touched on a lot of good points already so I'll just mention the most important to me: Like: Good sense of humor Dislike: Fiddlefarting around and wasting time By the way, I charge my partners one doller per sheet of toilet paper.

I guess no one wanted to give up their matress for a bear. A pity, as it would have made for a softer landing.

You must be stoked. Sounds like a great trip.

Someone is playing with us. I never changed the subject line. Someone else did.

You are so off base, Layton. Where the hell are you coming from?

Many of us appreciate the historical perspective of the old timers. I love to hear from you guys. Don't be just lurkers. We want more. There are some great stories waiting to be told.

It's going to be nice on Saturday. Grab a friend who climbs and go to Marymoor Park and have him show you how to belay. An afternoon at the rock would be great, especially if the sun is out and the ladies show up.

Ask me if I care. I probably made more than you collecting unemployment. Answer this. Who spent more time climbing this year?

Here's one: "Carpetland". Used by lab dwellers in reference to that part of the workplace inhabited by paper pushers and bean counters.

If you had taken my advice and gone the way I told you, it would have been a breeze. Ask Toast, Iceguy or Ade and they will tell you how easy it was. Okay, maybe you didn't have 60 meter ropes.

Klenke it would be a lot more interesting if you would just post your list of respectable people to this thread. Also, please post your list of disreputable people. That would be interesting too.

Some peroxide based toothpastes are divided because the peroxide would bleach out the colored part if they were to contact. People like color in their toothpaste. If it weren't for that, they would just use white. So yes, it is a gimmick. I used to work for sonicare which at the time was developing toothpastes and mouthwashes. I can tell you stuff you don't even want to know, so I won't.

I thought it was the self-defacating series.

Erik just went on one of his binges. He wants to learn how to become a bulimic.

California drivers haul ass. If you only go 60 mph in a 60 mph zone, you are going to get treadmarks over your roof. The 405 has 8 or 9 lanes and everybody is going 80.

This bitching and whining has got to stop. Some of you sound like a bunch of old women at the nursing home fighting over the remote control. I'm going to rope up and I'm going climb, drink, camp, hang out and have fun. I don't know what the rest of you are going to do.

Yes, if you are going to get bad instruction you might as well get it for free.
