Risin' up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet Just a little green man and his will to survive So many times, it happens too fast You change your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight Risin' up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Sweet: KATHMANDU (AFP) - A British mountaineer has set a world record by making the first mobile telephone call from the summit of Mount Everest, taking the blessing -- or curse -- of the cell phone to new heights. "It's cold, it's fantastic, the Himalayas are everywhere," Rod Baber said in the phone call from the top of the 8,848-metre peak early on Monday morning, according to a voice recording posted on his weblog. "I can't feel my toes, everyone is in good spirits -- we got here in record time, it is amazing," said Baber. His achievement was made possible by China Telecom, which has set up a mobile phone tower at base camp on the north side of the mountain. While the Himalayas had been cherished as one of the few places on earth where you can truly get away from it all, the news has nevertheless been welcomed by those involved in the adventure business. "It's good news because communications are essential in the mountains where climbers face huge risks," said Ang Tsering Sherpa, the president of Nepal's Mountaineering Association. "The mobile coverage could help in rescue operations," he said. The call is one of several high altitude stunts being carried out in the current Everest climbing season. Last week a Briton pulled off the season's first big stunt by making the first flight over the summit using a powered paraglider. A Nepali mountaineer has also broken his own world record by scaling the peak for a breathtaking seventeenth time. Other daredevils on the mountain include Wim "Iceman" Hof, a Dutchman attempting to scale the peak wearing just shorts, boots, gloves and a cap. This year, around 550 people are attempting Everest from both Nepal and via the northern flank in China. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070522/wl_uk_afp/nepalchinabritain_070522085615

Well, the guy wandered home today. Word is that he was in a pit in the basement of a cougar who lives near the mountain, but escaped when she left to get her nails done.

I lived less than a mile from a large encampment of hippies when i was growing up. all of them seemed to live in the cellophane castles. my parents where slightly older than the hippies, and so became mom and dad. we lived in an old farm house in the middle of a 40 acre field about 7 miles out of Forks, WA and 3 miles off of 101. one evening a big group of hippies came walking across our field...all of the quite nekkid and loaded up on acid. that was fun. another time, a 4th of July, my dad had a bunch of dynamite because he was working in road construction....after everyone got drunk and high they decided to blow up an old car out at the edge of the property. they managed to blow the thing like 25 feet in the air and also every window out of two side of our house. we lived with transparent cellophane windows for the rest of the time we lived in the house (about 3 more years)

I'm sure...but it isn't misspellings in general...just this particular word.
-
it isn't a true hippy encampment without some people living in cellophane castles. preferable "A" framed. you must live off of carob chip brownies too.

I like how you can't even have an argument over at NWhikers.net, so they've brought it over here.

Yeah Selkirk. Brass nuts are so last year!

but if the weather is good i'm betting you make it in a single push. good job on getting out there. i sat in a hot tub for most of the weekend. maybe i should try this climbing thing again.

Next time try siege tactics. Fix ropes...about 1/2 up there is a ledge large enough to sleep a group of 40 people. Set Camp 2 up there, push to the summit the next day.
