Poo story - I had just gotten back from my first alpine epic. My roomate had a couple of friends over as i stumbled into the apartment with my bulging pack and an armload of extra gear. I was looking absolutely haggard. There was a horrible stench in my apartment. My roomate said to me "dude, go look in the toilet, you gotta see this." I remembered a time when his toilet broke at his old apartment and he couldn't flush for a week. That didn't stop him from using it though. I slowly lift the lid and I see a turd the size of a 20 oz Coke bottle. Most of it was sticking out of the water, leaning against the side of the bowl. I fell down laughing. They then pawed through y pack, knowing that my digital camera was in there so that they could get a picture. After the shot, the toilet was flushed. The water swirled by leaving the mighty bomb unshaken. I was worried that someone would have to chop it up with the plunger. The second flush made it shudder. The third finally knocked th efoundation out from under it and sent it into the abyss. Later, I tried to get my pictures off the disk in my camera. Apparently the pure evil of the turd corrupted the disk. There was nothing on it. Even though I lost all of my pics from my epic, I was more upset about losing the shots of frankenturd.

Know ye not of body peircing?

Sure, my post sucked, but it spurred on greatness.

Everyone has to start somewhere. With many years of practice honing my skills, I may be able to be half as cool as Catbird. Until then, I will have to be as cool as I am, which is rather lacking.

Ok, I'm trying here. Let's get more entertaining posts and less political agenda. I get enough of that on the news. Do the same people who post this crap on cc.com inundate coworkers, loved ones, acquaintances, and strangers with the same regurgitated bullshit? Hypothetical situation: two parabolic mirrors, with surface coating are absolutely perfect. They are placed like this: () so that the reflective surfaces of both are touching along their theoretical perfect edges. Let's assume that there is ambient light present, but no source. Let's also assume that there is a way to see in there without actually having anything in there. What do you see?

What would Dan - say?

What about grueling Alpine Epics? Don't they count? 18+ hours hauling a big pack over steep terrain has to amount to something on the new bastardized climber's BMI.

Rugby? Who do you play for?

My the fat inherit the earth!!!!! BWahahaha!!!!

I didn't really mind carrying out 10 lbs of skis for someone who wanted them, but you really should tell your nephew not to leave his shit in the park. I don't care if he left behind a Snickers wrapper. It's damned bad form to leave any trash in any park, unless taking it out could very well kill you. Really folks, this is exactly the kind of crap we need to consider. Have you been to the Ape Cave to see all of the garbage that people leave behind? Why? because there isn't a trash can every 20 feet? I'm going to wager a guess that Browntoe's nephew isn't a climber. Probably just a casual user of the hills near Portland. I say this because climbers don't leave crap behind. Browntoe - Please tell your nephew to learn to clean up after himself. It's pissing other people off.

You could wait for a particularly romantic moment. That way she won't expect too much from you in the future. Valentine's day is coming up...

Sheee-ot Will knows how to live!!

How about "I just had my operation, and I'm dying to try it out!"

I wouldn't worry too much. By your knowledge of the topic, you seem pretty casual about it. Chances are you will be in the car driving her to The Met, and forget yourself as you pass your own meat flavored wind.

Is that some sort of fat crack!!!????!! You're lucky this computer is holding me back buddy!!!!

Sorry, Muffy, You're fired. You have violated a few of the rules. 1. You are not properly equipped (sausagefest) 2. No Alpine!!! (you break my heart, really you do) 3. You probably don't smell of ass.

I could take a pretty impressive exposed phot form the top of Mt Si, but it doesn't make it tough. I still see aid in that second photo. Another thing. Last night at Vertical World in Ballard I saw the manager (owner?) start a V4 problem from the rope hanging in the bouldering room. He swung over and stuck the first hold, then proceeded up. Too funny. Is it considered aid if it makes the problem harder?

I'm Obese!!! (31.5) Running, lifting and all the other fun just isn't paying off. I wonder how many other obese people can move and climb like I do. The only person I know who has ever rated "Helathy" is a friend who is 6' 8" and weighs 220. Even then, he just barely makes it in. I have a friend who works with the Department of Health. I have asked her about the BMI and she told me that on a single use basis without proper interpretation alongside other factors like bodyfat percentage, it is almost useless.

Topic? Topic? Like why don't boulders try climbing bigger things? -<grin>- BTW - Aren't crash pads aid? I just like harrassing people.

Ok, this is for you sausagefest, cold-loving, long-term, hardcore, ass-smelling alpinists out there: What's your favorite after climb food? Mmmmm. Hot open faced sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy..... I suppose roq-joqs and boulderers have a favorite after climb food, but who really cares whaty they eat after a hard day hiking a couple of miles to the crag/boulder? BTW - beer is a given.

It's interesting that just because we haven't run out of the resources that are described in this article in the time predicted in 1972 that we should continue to voraciously consume the planet. Hmm... Fuck the world. I'm off to buy a Hummer, eat a bunch of McDonald's food, and dump some oil down the storm drain.

I hope you left.

Did you just fart, or is that your breath? Hello son. Is that it? -<excitedly>- My herpes is in remission. My ex just got paroled today. You got a purty mouth. What got you into she-males, anyway? So, I was at the salon getting my back waxed... It's great to finally meet a man who understands the complex inner workings of a psuedo-feminist culture that is working toward… blah blah blah...

Thanks. Youze guyz are great.
