  1. I won't go there, but suffice it to say that some people have great trouble distinguishing right and left. They can overcome this by using visual cues.
  2. In all seriousness, though, I just think that Melakwa Lake gets more than its fair share of inexperienced hikers. Back when my kids were young I'd bring them along on hikes and often as we were returning, I'd stop at trail junctions and ask my daughter which way we should go to return to the car. She almost invariable chose the wrong way! (my son didn't have the same problem) I'd have to tell her, "nope, it's the other way!". After a few of those experiences, immediately after passing a junction on the way out, I'd turn her around, point to the left or right tell her, "look, that's the way we have to go on the way back, remember!"

    bomb threat

    Someone went to a party instead of studing for the exam and then had a little panic attack at 6:30 am.
  4. Melakwa Lake, the Bermuda Triangle of the I-90 Corridor.
  5. It is thought to involve induction of metalloproteinases. Basically, the structural proteins in the tendons are broken down chemically, thus weakening them.
  6. OMG, you're the guy. No big deal?! You should be ashamed of yourself.
  7. Truck tires keep coming off on the freeways and killing people and damaging vehicles. This has happened three times in a short period. Is this just a coincidence? Or is someone going about loosening lug nuts? Story
  8. You guys are so incredibly jaded. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
  9. Here you go Seahawks. Is this is where you get your opinions about the ACLU? World Net Daily
  10. That's just plain bullshit and you know it. That sort of talk began back in the McCarthy era. The ACLU will defend the right to free speech, even if a person happens to be a communist. It doesn't make the ACLU a communist organization. From the ACLU website: "The ACLU believes in the freedom of thought, inquiry or advocacy by any individual or group regarding a specific economic, social or political philosophy. That position, grounded solely on the nation's tradition of free speech, means no governmental restriction unless there exists a clear and present danger of illegal action."
  11. You guys are terrible! Is this how we treat new members?
  12. How long did it take you from the base of the climb and back to the base?
  13. dunno - blake's a handsome white man - seems like if anyone's talking their way out it's him, 'specially w/ a carfull of similiar looking girls, eh? Ah, but he wasn't driving a pickup, nor was he wearing the requisite baseball cap. But I think it was the rope in the back that gave him away as a perfidious climber.
  14. Ever climb at Nevermind Wall? I hear that place is so rad!
  15. Is it really as run out as Gary says or was he off route?
  16. Hey Kurt. What do you think of this outfit?
  17. How was the military? Did you enjoy that?
  18. If your record is clean, I think they will offer deferment to you.
  19. The law allows you to briefly exceed the speed limit while passing. You should argue that you were still in the process of passing when you were clocked. Where would you have to go to fight the ticket? Good luck.
  20. Hey these guys learned their trade from the likes of Rush Limbaugh. They don't actually make reasoned arguments.
  21. It's probably just as well they took a cab home anyway.
  22. It's a huge stretch to say what Hillary advocates is socialism, even the mild forms of which are practiced in Europe. She's just saying that tax and benefit policies should no longer be geared to benefit just the wealthy. They don't need any more help.

    I'm in love

    Show her your big brush chipper. It will turn her on.
  24. When the road gets really bad it gets bad fast. Don't push it because you'll just risk your car for minimal distance. Just park and walk.
