This was on page 2 of American Climbing Culture. This guy was really funny. Bring back Scottish Wanker!

Unfortunately, none of her comrades in arms are alive to confirm her story.

Fleblebleb, sometimes you can be so obscure.

This was one hell of a funny post. A few of the replies were funny too. What ever happened to Scottish_Wanker anyway?

JGowans led Bottoms Up, 5.7 on Write-Off Wall at Exit 38. This was his first lead climb and he did just fine. Let's raise a glass to the laddie . May this be the beginning of great things to come. BTW, he attempted a 5.9 lead that he ALMOST pulled off. Not bad considering he'd only ever toproped 5.8. He nailed it on top rope. We were the only ones there. It was sprinkling when we arrived, but Jason said, "oh, let's just go check it out". The rain stopped as we hit the trail. The rock dried out as we roped up and the rain held off until we were finished. It let loose on our way to the bar.

I think that bit about her firing at Iraqis until her ammunition ran out was a story for the benefit of morale. It probably didn't happen that way. I'm not saying that's wrong. We want the Iraqis to fear us. Furthermore, it seems almost certain that the injuries she sustained occurred after her capture, i.e. she was tortured. It will be revealed eventually that all the other captured soldiers were either shot or tortured to death.

Sven and Ole were sitting at the bar. Sven notice that Ole had a black eye. He said, "Ole, how'd you get that dere black eye?" To which Sven Replied, "Ya know, I was at choir practice when I noticed that Mrs. Olsen's skirt was stuck in her crack, so I pulled it out. She punched me in the eye. I guess she liked it where it was." "Go figure", said Ole. The next week Ole shows up at the bar with two black eyes. Sven says, "Ole, what happened to you this time?" To which he replied, "I was at choir practice again, and you remember how Mrs. Olsen didn't like it when I pulled her skirt out of her crack?" "Ya, sure, ya betcha", said Sven. "This time it fell out on its own. So I try to push it back in."

The last time I climbed Rainier I was having yet another sleepless night in Muir Hut. I took a single 125 mg Diamox tablet at 2 am and almost immediately was able to fall asleep. I wish that I had taken it when I went to bed. I did not notice any side effects. I forgot to take another on the summit, figuring that I was "over the hump" anyway.

Thanks for the story. I enjoyed it.

A similar thing happened at the road end for the approach to Shuksan, Sulfide Glacier route. One car rudely boxed another in for no reason, forcing them to spend an hour jockeying their car to get out. The offended party pissed all over the perps truck who deserved it.

Aha, it was from the United Sportsmen of Idaho, who are afraid that wolves will ruin their good hunting. There is no evidence of this. Wolves take the weakest, whereas hunters only take the strongest. Wolves strengthen the gene pool. Hunters weaken it.

What's playin at the Roxie? I'll tell you what's playing at the Roxie, A picture about a Minnesota man so in love with a Mississippi girl, That he sacrifices everything and moves all the way to Biloxi. That's what's playing at the Roxie.

My favorites are #s 2, 8, and 9.

Name a melody to use with those lyrics and I'll sing it at the next Pub Club.

This is a very crass thread. I'm a non-believer myself, but I don't go out of my way to ridicule those that do believe.

Dru, what the hell was that? One dog attacked another?

I couldn't see the guy they were arresting, so I had no way of knowing if he had a gun. The tree was blocking my view. It actually looked like the two cops were pointing their guns at each other. It was weird. I went the other way and stood behind a brick wall. A lot of people have died in Palestine because their curiosity got the better of them.

I honestly can say I've never worried about getting mugged in the backcountry. Notice, it said, "Which Guns (plural) do you carry when you go climbing? Oh, let's see, should I take an extra No. 4 Camalot or that second pistol? Yep, better take the pistol instead.

I was out in front of my house pruning a tree when I heard, "Let me see your hands!, Let me see your hands!" I looked up and saw two cops with guns drawn pointing them from either side at a guy in a car. I have no idea why they arrested the guy. My best guess is that it was a pursuit. Looks like they had a car following and another headed him off coming the other way. A third cop car arrived. The suspect's car was a beat up old Honda, which they towed away. This is the first time I've ever seen guns drawn and it was right in front of my house. It's normally a very quiet neighborhood.

We'd probably go as a team of three on a 50 m rope.

To_the_Top, this link redirects you to a porno site. Did you have anything to do with that?

Notice that the picture is grainy. I was taken in low light using a powerful telephoto lens. It is very difficult to approach a jackelope, because of its acute sight and hearing.

I like the restaurant idea on a Thursday. I think it would be cool to see some of the young climbers, like colin, cracked, distel32, and others.
