One time, I posted this picture to cc.com so that people could put funny captions under it to make me laugh, and then all these clowns started posting this shit that isn't a funny caption, but a "me me me" anecdote.

"Mmkay, now put your head right about where my hand is"

An actor in an elected office. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH! AAAHAHAHHAHAHHAH! Oh, wait that's already happened at least three times. And a wrestler too.

Skeleton was an AWESOME place to boulder back in the day. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and when your hands got fried from grabbing razor sharp basalt (mmm!) you could go for a stroll in the sandy, cool darkness. Three branches to explore too. The funny thing is, the climbers back then were kind of a surly lot, and kept the rifraff from messin' things up, which helped keep the cave a little cleaner. And it would still be a great place to boulder if you could move those damn rock from under the routes that the rangers put under 'em to thwart climbing. I never understood how the mind of the Forest Dis-Service works. They ban a single group of users (because we're high visibility and piss some people off) yet ALL of the petroglyphs in Dry canyon just west of Bend (just off skyliner at 3 mile mark) have been chipped and removed, but I digress. Yeah, It would still be one of my favorite places to boulder if you could move those rocks, but you can't cause that's illegal. (Altering the "natural Environment") Bonfires and broken glass are okay though.

Ryland, unfortunately the caves are VERY closed to climbers. If you do go, be prepared for hostility. I used to live out there and watched as the rangers moved rocks under the traverses and told all climbers watching (present company included) that if they got caught using chalk, or moving rocks to make the landing better, they'd get a big fattie ticket. Apparently they want the teenage kids to have a nice environment to have fires and break glass in. It's pretty bogus we got singled out as a problem, but we did, and they're effectively closed. Oh, and it's not too trivky to get to Skeleton cave. Just keep your eyes peeled for the road on the left hand side of the road (China Hat road, FS 19) about 2-4? miles past Boyd cave. If you see a sign for Wind cave, go back.

I'm with FEJAS, crazy, and Waaay bigger than anything I've ever even thought of doing. Great job!

From my painful personal experience, if you have wide feet, I'd recommend avoiding Makalus like the plague. Which, I think we can all agree, is one thing an individual would want to avoid at all costs.

Well, yeah. But still, a great book nonetheless. And ya know, the only other people that I've personally met that have read it are all in the resataurant biz, just like I was until I got a "real job". And none of them are sheep. Well okay, maybe a couple of em. But they all seem to have crippling drug, alcohol, and personal problems.

Yeah, that storm we had in Eugene was sick. Saw a lightning bolt that appeared to have landed right across the street and knocked out the power at my gal pal's place. The thunderclcap was LOUD. Shook the entire house. Also made my day hectic, as I work with a lot of very sensitive high tech stuff, and it knocked all of it out. Also scared my poochie. Poor fella. Still, It was pretty damn cool.

It's a great fucking read. Fast paced, sharp wit, great facts, a really funny, disturbing, well written, very readable book. Fast read too. I recommend it.

"The making of the Atom Bomb" (Still) and "Fatland" and recently finished "Fast Food Nation"

Is GT back from his vacation? Have fun Timmy? Go to Toulomne? (spelling?) Dija have fun? Didja? Didja?

Well she could be a hang glider instructor.. or.. or.. a paraglider pilot? I dunno...sailing makes a lot of sense.. I guess I don't hear "No wind no work" every day. Plus I'm feeble minded and easily confused.

AG, if you don't mind me asking, what do you do that involves wind?

And the rest of Moscow as well. What about Cinammon slab? That's pretty easy. Maybe for sport, Shamu? one hard (kinda) move right off the ground and then a walk up.

Funny (if brief) trip report! Go Bumblies!

Today I am proud to announce that The Everglades will be paved to make room for the largest penal colony on Earth. Heheh, I said Penal.

Sorry about sending your parents to the electric chair, but I have to be tough on you people. It's for your own good. The only way you can learn to be not poor is to not have parents, err, or not steal. Or Something. STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS!

I like digging hole! Dig. Dig. Dig.

Oops! heheh. Never been to either. My bad. Still, funny pic.

Oooh, I deal with this kind of Dilemma all the time. I happen to live right behind a rehab clinic (which by the way doesn't seem to successfully rehabilatate anybody) and I have to deal with basically the same 6-8 guys just about every day. The way I've dealt with them is if they're not fucking with anybody in my hood, and they're just sitting on the curb, being mellow, and not bothering anyone, I don't bother them. However, if they're pissing on my building, hassling people, throwing empties, or sitting under the steps to my building, I get physical with em and toss them out on their ass. A few harsh words, a good hard toss into the alley, they get the picture and disappear for a few weeks. But every time I see one of those fucks, I just want to bash their faces in with my bare hands. I don't though. As long as they're mellow, I'm mellow. So in my opinion, you did the right thing, even if it felt so wrong. It is hard though. Especially when they most likely deserve a thrashing.

AWESOME TRIP. Hearty congrats to you guys on a very strong effort and amazing accomplishment. The trip pics are heady to look at, and simply inspiring. Wow. I don't know what else to say except again, congratulations. I would not be able to resist talking nonstop about something like this!

I was up in WA pass, it was just a short 5.5ish pitch on the sw rib of the s early winter spire. Fun stuff!!! Don't be shy AG! From the last pic it is clear you were pioneering some sick new hard route in the Trango Towers region.

Thank you AlpinFox!!! Awesome job! She's dressed lightly for Pakistan though.
