annabellebond@earthlink.net been there done that. i got an 'automated response' thing about 'suspect email'. i am piecing together the shreds of what was once my tender heart.

aarrggh! my head hurts. i thought a surgeons knot was a lot like a granny but with another twist. anyway. check out the middle 'bend' on the right: way strong way to join two ropes. i seen it called 'double bowline'. i would never use it climbing cuz the knot could roll.

sponsored climber sheila. all pretty and everything. even her name is cool: annabelle bond. got her own website. http://www.annabellebond.com/ she is climbing everest. how come i never see babe-atude like this at the crags i go to?

:whateverhomo:

when i first read this shizzle i thought about a tree fallin gin the woods not making a sound unless a boulderer took a picutre. or something like that.

:stupidshit:

Same can be said of hanford. "Radiation, yes indeed! You hear the most outrageous lies about it. Half-baked goggle-boxed do-gooders telling everybody it's bad for you. Pernicious nonsense! Everybody could stand a hundred chest X-rays a year. They ought to have 'em too. " - J. Frank Parnell aint yakima downstream? how do you like them apples?

is to.

i read an article about how european wildlife --woodland creatures and such-- are thriving in the evacuated area cause of no hunting pressure. silver lining!

aint there another chapter where the flea mites declare jihad on both the ants and grasshoppers because of their 'love of freedom' then the president ant hires some killer bees to mess em up because the flea mites got some wmd program related acitvities going on. and some other shizzle?

and the forms make me feel stupid.

its kina metro (touchy feely estrogen laced kina bullshit) so i dont really want to say. cept for the 'suck my titty' song at the strip club.

'We'll always have Tokyo' thats good. now i can sleep.

i am awake in the middle of the night wondering. i hope it was something like 'enjoy life and smile more. okay?' and not something like 'nice hooters. okay?'

i have been toled by wrongheaded people that this is a double bowline too (and a bowline bend): this is about the weakest way to join two ropes and i also been told it is wrong. a perpetuated myth. the real non-weak way to do it is to make the rabbit hole with one rope and use the other rope end as the rabbit. then do the opposite to finish it. then it is one of the strongest ways to join two ropes. bowline craziness in the middle of the night.

"Life's too short to work for the man."

did you day something to them? like 'fukin yard sale. pick this shit up crakers.'

duct tape?

that looks like a french bowline. some climbers call it a bowline on a bight though it really isnt. the bowline on a bight would have two strands making the 'rabbits hole'. the seascouts f-ed it up. there is even nomenclature for which way the rabbit goes around the tree. it is kina funny that the coast guard tests on shit like bowlines but they are hardly ever used on a boat. the really bitchin bends are so weird to tie when under pressure of time and bad weather thats when the bowline comes out: weakest link.

i visited a guy i know yesterday to borrow a crash pad (i climb little rocks too beehotches) and his fukin dogs jumped all over me the whole time i was at his house. he did ask if i liked dogs. i coulnt really tell him i just didnt like his dogs jumping on me while i was borrowing shit from him. i wont mention the story of the puppy gettin squashed his owner falling off a boulder problem cuz it sucked.

the figure eight and double bowline are essentially the same strength. that is they weaken a rope to about the same extent (like arond to 75% of original strength). the single bowline will weaken a rope to about 60% of original strength. you will find many different knots labeled bowline. just like how the 'bowline-on-a-bight' you know is probably a french bowline. the link you gave works for me to describe a 'double bowline'.

other. it is better there in every way.

tv makes you lose your attention something or other. what were you saying?

i have grunted up more than one wi5 in sabertooths so i dont reckon they suck at vertical ice. they be real good on neve and mushy ice too.
