Guys? Will you please look up caveat? Ah, Hell: "a warning enjoining one from certain acts or practices b : an explanation to prevent misinterpretation" Potential no-show is the key here. Not what is actually keeping you away. That is a... (where's Minx's pic) dead horse thoroughly beaten.

Microcosm: Georgia and Kansas places require appropriately able people to have guns. Macro: Let's suppose (for argument's sake [we all love a good argument, right]) that this became federal law. I am thinking about doing a crime anywhere in the U.S. I am shit scared, because chances are folks are packin' heat. Or, I take the risk, knowing there's a good chance I'll be drawn upon. The overall crime rate goes down. Great! Fear is a great motivator. But we all start becoming fearful of our neighbor, not knowing the secret lives of others. Maybe that argument you hear next door becomes much more significant when you know there's two pieces in the house (husband and wife each required to have a gun). So the crime rate goes down further, cuz you don't want to report that domestic. Hell, what if he/she finds out you made the call? FEAR. BUT , the homocide rate goes up, I'll bet, even though the overall crime rate may go down.... for a while... The repression eats away, and you have your own weapon, and you're paranoid now... Wait, I had some entropy to go allow - bye.

Your statement supposes I spend a fair amount of my free time in a "wasteland". I am deeply offended. Oh, it is truly a downward spiral. I am going to go succumb to the sheer entropy of it all.

"Sounds like a plan, but:" 1. "We'll see if the wife/husband, etc has other plans." 2. "Dude! I can't climb unless I score this sachel!" 3. "The weather looks hit or miss, man..." Others you've heard or used? Responses?

Bachy really rocks for boarders. It can be a little flat for Extremo Mtn Dude Skiers! LOL! Rip IT UP, Dude!

(sung to the tune of "JukeBox Hero" by Foreigner) Standing at the base, with his head hung low. Couldn't get on lead, a total no-show. Saw the man above his gear, he just watched the scene. Put his hand on the wall, and heard the leadman scream. Saw one big whipper, just blew him away! Felt a lurch in his gut, and the very next day. Bought a beat-up stick-clip at a Second Bounce store. Didn't know how to use it, but he knew for sure: That one stick-clip felt good in his hand. Didn't take long to understand: that one stick-clip puts the rope up high. Was a safety ticket, he'd never have to fly. So he started clippin', ain't never gonna stop. Gotta keep on clippin', someday he'll work it to the top. (chorus) And be a Toprope Hero! Got the rope from above! He's a Toprope Hero! Got that rope tension Love! At a crag without a name, in a heavy downpour. Thought he passed his own shadow workin' this route before. Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain. And that one stick-clip made his whole life change. Now he's gotta keep clippin', he just can't stop! Clippin' and Takin', he's got to make the top! (chorus) And be a Toprope Hero! Got the rope from above! He's a Toprope Hero! Got that rope tension Love!

What he said. And where else can I stuff McDumbalds fries into my kids face to shut them up while I get my cheap tuppers, pray tell?
