Let's start a pool for how long after Bush's reelection it takes for j-b to off himself.

WTF happened to Erik?

In fact, in the picture, Nacho looks like he's looking up at somebody peeing off the railing!

He's Muffy's other avatar....

Did the whole pitch under the lookout smell like piss? Just wondering.....

??????

How's this one:

Agreed.

The thing is, I used that for a few days a week or two ago!

This post is over on the Mountaineers site: Observation Rock « on: 08/12/03 at 3:30pm » | Reply with quote | Modify -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .....I'd say you have 1 pitch of slushy snow, could do running belays, some may require pickets, but nothing spectacular, and then varying lengths of ice above, ranging from left to right -- at far right very little ice, the middle is the best line right now. I found on that line that the slushy snow was underlain by waterice higher up, and required only clearing off (easily slid away) for good screw placement. Over on the left there was bluish ice, but not of very good surface quality; rotten on top.....

Nice RobBob, that's been going thru my head....

Man survives after being pushed onto tracks Thursday, August 14, 2003 Posted: 10:57 AM EDT (1457 GMT) NEW YORK ( AP) -- Bumped off a crowded subway platform and onto the tracks, Brandon Crismon did the one thing that could save his life as a train approached -- he rolled between the rails. Just inches above his head, the No. 5 train rolled over him before the train finally screeched to a halt. The driver had seen Crismon on the tracks as the train reached the station Wednesday morning but couldn't stop in time, police said. Ten minutes later, rescuers removed the 34-year-old Internet brokerage employee, who was cut, bruised and had a broken leg. "He had a second to think somehow how to get out of the way," said his wife, Gina Soileau. "The last thing he saw were the wheels coming at his head. He's extraordinarily lucky." Crismon remained hospitalized Thursday morning in serious but stable condition. He told police he had been standing on the Union Square station platform during the morning rush when he was pushed. Some witnesses told police Crismon had argued with another person before the fall, while others said he did nothing and was pushed. Police, who were looking for a man in his 30s in connection with the fall, said that in either case, Crismon was standing close enough to the edge that it wouldn't have taken a violent push to knock him onto the rails. Between the rails, the distance between the bottom of the train and the subway floor is just two feet, according to New York City Transit spokesman Paul Fleuranges. http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Northeast/08/14/subway.survivor.ap/index.html

Nah, it just means you pay your bill on time.

Well if there's a rock climbing forum, I think we'll need a MOUNTAIN CLIMBING FORUM too.

Swissman, Were you guys on a trip to Dome, Sininster, Gunsight a few weeks back? I saw a party of three there that sounds like your group.

Former Human Shield Faces Thousands in Fines Monday, August 11, 2003 SARASOTA, Fla. — A retired schoolteacher who went to Iraq to serve as a "human shield" (search) against the coalition invasion is facing thousands of dollars in U.S. government fines, which she is refusing to pay. The U.S. Department of the Treasury said in a March letter to Faith Fippinger that she broke the law by crossing the Iraqi border before the war. Her travel to Iraq violated U.S. sanctions that prohibited American citizens from engaging in "virtually all direct or indirect commercial, financial or trade transactions with Iraq." She and others from 30 countries spread out through Iraq to prevent the war. She spent about three months there. Only about 20 of nearly 300 "human shields" were Americans, she said. Fippinger, who returned home May 4, is being fined at least $10,000, but she has refused to pay. She could face up to 12 years in prison. In her response to the charges, she wrote the government that "if it comes to fines or imprisonment, "please be aware that I will not contribute money to the United States government to continue the buildup of its arsenal of weapons." Since she won't pay, she said, "perhaps the alternative should be considered." The government also has asked Fippinger, 62, to detail her travels to Iraq and any financial transactions she made. In her response, Fippinger wrote that the only money she spent was on food and emergency supplies. If Fippinger does not pay, the fine may increase, and the money will be drawn from her retirement paycheck, her Social Security check (search) or any of her assets, officials said. "She was (in Iraq) in violation of U.S. sanctions," said Taylor Griffin, a Treasury Department spokesman. "That's what happens." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,94366,00.html
