Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back: 1. Weightlifting commentator: "This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing." 2. Dressage commentator: "This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother." 3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: "I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father." 4. Boxing Analyst: "Sure there have been injuries and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious." 5. Softball announcer: "If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again." 6. Basketball analyst: "He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces." 7. At the rowing medal ceremony: "Ah isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew." 8. Soccer commentator: "Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field." 9. Tennis commentator: "One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them...Oh my God, what have I just said?"

Those love taps you're giving the aren't any kind of a deterrent. You hit like a girl Hugs, Erik

Living in Renton is punishment enough.

The beautiful, shiny button! The jolly candy-like button!

It's true, I've seen it right here.

I worry more about stigmata at a bad time - all the blood really screws you at the crux...but, yeah. SC is on the list, for sure. Why can't our bodies just behave themselves?

Right up there with "Alpine Assault!" L7iSTQdjm_0

I always thought Uncle Tricky's TR's, stories and observations were some of the best written on the forum: Climbing Into the Coffin Climbing, Surfing and Localism TR:SEWS East Buttress & SW Rib Lexington Tower - East Face Til Death Do Us Part Dihedral Here's a link to all the threads he started - there's plenty of other excellent pieces. Uncle Tricky Page It was a real honor to meet Patrick, and I imagine he is doing well over there on the Eastside. Wish he would check back in occasionally. Erik

I wish I could be there to shake your (I am sure strong) hand, Erden - I will be there in spirit. Your commitment to this has been astounding. A hearty "Cheers" is certainly in order. Respectfully, Erik Wolfe

No, Doug - you have to run your own porn-cleaning programs! Sorry to break it to you

You two at it again? Get a room!

This is just too unbelievable not to repost: The saddest part of it all is how senseless these 11 deaths are. The Marines rushing into urban conflict in Anbar province I can wholeheartedly admire. The firemen who ran into the burning towers of 9/11 and lost their lives, I remember in my prayers with gratitude and admiration. But somehow we live in a world where not enough men find real avenues for masculine achievement. They are moved to take enormous risks, like climbing K2, for no particular reason in a world that (apparently) offers them insufficient real outlets for their heroism. To the 11 dead on K2: Salute! We used to send such men out to explore new continents, conquer frontiers or defeat the barbarians. Now 11 good men have lost their lives climbing a mountain for no particular reason. Because it was there, they no longer are. What a magnificent waste!

Here's someone with a firm grasp on what it's all about:

He did it in 3 hours! Holy crap!

Been hearing talk about it...anyone else? That's a scary thing to be soloing, given conditions, rock/ice/snowfall, and rock quality. Wow. Erit: Hey, look! It's just like cc.com Spray over there!
