Leavenworth tomorrow? 5.8/5.9? Got some momentum going from having been at Squamish last weekend and need to keep it going.

Let's amend that to 'no one with the legal authority to catch him'. One also might argue that it requires spending less time concerned with the optimizing the routes between doughnut establishments or finding new napping locations behind strip malls. That or having an intelligence greater than that of a small porcelin soap dish.

That sounds like my voting record since I turned 18: "I'm not voting for somebody, I'm voting against the other guy".

My physics/chem lab fun: 1) yes, shitty equipment at a top 10 school. among other reasons, they don't understand why i don't donate to the college fund. 2) 3 hours to complete a lab which you've not had a chance to look at before you walk in the door. you must understand the lab, set it up, do all the work, write it up and hand it in before you leave. not handing it in before you leave constitutes failure of the lab. then, you get comments about "we're very disappointed that we aren't seeing any proper error analysis from you people". well, if we had the TIME you morons, the error bars would be greater than you would find acceptable. 3) moronic lab partners 4) sadistic lab assistants. of all the LA's, mine was the only one who gave his section weekly quizzes. often, he'd put unsolved research problems on them, and not tell us, just to see if we could solve them in 15 minutes..... 5) pre-meds who fuck with other people's experiments so that they get a better grade and get into the med school of their choice. i stopped thinking highly of doctors a long time ago. For this, and other reasons, I was pleased to write the following on the return envelope to my college fund recently: Famous University's Endowment Fund: $5 billion My Financial Aid Package: $0 Satisfaction for Sending You Absolutely Nothing: Priceless

if the dudes with the black helicopters were going to raid your place, i doubt they'd call first. :-)

Funny, I expect that the percentage of non-climbing-related posts to go *down* now that he's leaving....

the statistics are skewed because all the young'uns are either out climbing, studying, or

i'm still too jittery from a round of "Serious Sam"

that's what I'd do. way cheaper than shipping anything.

Now I know why so many Republicans like guns.....to protect themselves from other Republicans!

As opposed to what? The finest Right Wing lunacy? People like you give conservatives a bad name.

missed point: more anecdotal evidence that pepper spray ain't worth it....

Nah, probably for the best. I started coming down with a head cold later that day.

Local residents concerned over increasing popularity of "BASE Cratering"

"Justin, president of the fraternity, felt compelled to prove the principle of "It's not the fall that'll kill you, it's the stop at the end" to his fellow frat brothers after an alcohol fueled debate the previous evening had failed to resolve the issue to their satisfaction." Said one of his co-horts "Justin ever was the scientist - never willing to debate a point to death when a little data would resolve the issue"

Looks to be sunny there tomorrow and I just got the guide book. Been there once or twice before. Something 5.8-5.9-multipitch-tradish? Can't let the good weather go to waste.

I used to, but it's a well known fact that hanging around climbers lowers your IQ and your sperm count.

That's what she gets for lying around in her tent and letting the Sherpa's do all the work.

For all the sponsorship she's getting, it's an effing boring tale. She's a poor writer and pretty narcissitic to boot. You have no sense of place, no sense of the people that are with her and their personal dynamics, nothing. Just a lot of "Oh, I have to go through the icefall! Oh I hate it when they film me puking my breakfast!". Blarg. I've read more interesting things on the back of a box of cereal.
