CBS, you should have known better than to say that in front of a bunch of "inquiring minds" ..."because inquiring minds want to know" (what was that the slogan from?)

you can make plasma by lighting a match, blowing it out, then putting it in the microwave. After a few seconds (sometimes as much as 30-60), balls of plasma form and start bouncing up on the ceiling of the microwave. Edit: Oh yeah, you have to actually turn the microwave on once the blown-out matches are in it. It's also a good idea to put the matches on something that you don't really care about (old glass plate, etc.)

well, I guess in the context of this thread, that would be appropriate...

It's gotta be in red as well! mmmm... NEW BEER FORUM

404'd!!

they could be separated because of a reaction that may take place when they are mixed... just a thought

:drooling gremlin: WRX...

junior the kid twerp etc. I'm a lot younger than everyone else I work with...

just go to McDonalds and get their new "McSalmon" sandwich (shhhh, don't tell anyone it's really a hamburger with red food coloring...)

We were really wishing we had one. The free soloing was right about at my limit of being too sketched out. Rappelling down would have made life SO much nicer. And wandering through the crevasses was certainly interesting too! (We were following footprints which we knew were only about an hour old, otherwise we prolly would have bagged it on the glacier.)

well, I did the lower cave first but only to try and push that upper passage a little more than I did last time. I figure I can't make it through the opening into the little room at the end (me and my fat ass.) The upper cave is certainly better, but I saw so much TP this time! It was absolutely disgusting! The person I was with hurt her wrist at some point, so the side passage exploration was significantly less than I would have otherwise liked (but there was so much shit in there I don't think I would have wanted to go anyway!) Has anyone ever checked out the cross tube in the lower part near the bottom end? (It comes in from the left as you're heading down the tube, and it's about 8-10 feet up)

is a shithole right now. PEOPLE WHO CRAP IN CAVES AND LEAVE IT THERE PISS THE HELL OUT OF ME!! All the good side passages that I went into in Ape Cave this time at least had TP, some even had coils. There was even some less than 100 feet from the upper entrance! Friggin' morons!

I "climbed" Mt. Wow in Mt. Rainier National Park this past Saturday, but it's really just a bushwhack. Lots of scrapes and a few stings, but we spent 2 hours on the summit staring at the Tahoma Glacier, then an hour down at Lake Allen swimming and drinking beers. On Sunday the was crappy weather so I went caving.

Did you use ropes? That would have slowed us up (and prolly been a lot safer, especially on what we climbed on the summit pinnacle.) We were moving quickly down the trail, a moderate jog at times, but not really running. (The descent was interesting enough after the beers at Sahale Camp without trying to run.) And did the snaffle lick your gaiters and try to eat your ankles? (I'll post pics once I get around to resizing them)

iain, do you mean a velcro strap around the shaft to keep the grips in your hand if you let go of the tools?

agreed. This would be funny if it wasn't true. Holding people accountable for something inconceivable is rather laughable.

This is rediculous!

bring in... THE COMFY CHAIR!!!

how can you talk about climbing without talking about beer?! Of course this belongs in this forum (Climber's Board)!

the same thing can be said about "lum" and "mox"

perhaps it meant he is on Mt. Wow... (yes it is an actual place... a satellite peak of Rainier in the SW corner of the park.)

It's a picture of the closed handicapped latrine at Muir with the sign on it that says "This is an example of your climbing fees at work"

I'm in... who am I to turn down climbing and beer?
