Good job, guys.

The good thing about the story, Kurt, is that I didn't have to use the spurs. No damage was sustained by the tree.

I've heard it said that it is much, much more difficult to obtain a drivers license in Germany.

That scrawny bird might have offered two bites. Ever had squab?

The forbidden glacier looked more VOLUMINOUS in the past as opposed to "volumptious". I think Josh was thinking of the word VOLUPTUOUS. Of course that is a very good word too and I can understand why he might like a similar sounding word like "volumptious".

I got home from a bike ride and had just put my bike away when I heard the bird squaking across the street in the park. I went over there and it turned out he was high in a big cedar tree. Fortunately, there were branches low enough that I could reach them while standing on the fence. I climbed up about 30 ft and there he was. He hopped on my finger and up to my shoulder and stayed there as I climbed back down. He's back in his cage eating like a horse. Poor little Booger. No more outside trips for him until his wings are clipped.

Have you noticed how some people like to cut off semis? They change lanes like one car length in front of the truck. If the traffic slows the guy is dogmeat. I call it a suicidal tendency.

This was a big step up for dryad and something of which she should rightfully be proud.

Vomit contains hydrochloric acid. The longer you leave it on the rope the more damage it will do. Soap and water will do the trick. If you want, you can add a little baking soda to make sure the acid is neutralized.

My daughter is going to be so happy when she returns from California. She hated that bird and it hated her.

Erik, you ought to make up some fake stationery on your computer from a ficticious law firm. Send the guy a letter that says your lawyer will be suing his ass. Make up all sorts of legal mumbo jumbo that will get his panties all in a bunch. Then forget about it. Alternately, you can inform the State Patrol about the incident. They will send him a nice letter saying that he shouldn't be mean to people on the road...

Does this mean I get to show up at Pube Club to collect my valuable prize, the piece of duct tape for my helmet. I've always wanted duct tape, but couldn't afford it.

The bearhug cracks are short and it would be really hard to fall off, so I agree with you about the #5. The #4 is useful elsewhere on the climb so it is a good one to have, although a Camalot wouldn't be my first choice because it is so damn heavy.

Gary, you have a knack for stating the obvious. Look, I did it as a bearhug only because I'm not a very good climber at this point, okay?

Congratulations. Another thing to celebrate.

The parrot was gone this morning when I went to check on it. I don't know where it is now.

I'm going to try in the morning. The bird should be okay until then. It shouldn't get very cold.

Translation: it's all a lot of hooey.

It looks like I'm winning, but to be fair we should give JGowans (that Scottish guy) a chance to return from Russia to mount his campaign.

Let me spell it out for you. Bob Hope was in his own way a patriot and he was highly respected by his generation for his contribution to the war (WWII). Your sarcastic retort shows a lack of respect for the dead. I think it was inappropriate.

One reason for the early success of the organization was that they admitted women. It was a novel idea.

It's good to know I have friends I can count on, Dru. I was able to borrow a set of climbing spurs from my friend Mike. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

For bouldering about all you need is some scrubbing. That probably isn't even mentioned in the statute. Besides, you can't "unscrub" a route once it has been cleaned .

Holy shit!

I like Rock Empire. You all should Czech it out.
