using the internets i found the late breaking news story about a rock climb on Mount Saint Helens bring your pickets for protection!

here he juxtiposed a primitive deer image with futuristic text

his work in the Great Gallery was truly amazing

I hear filling your thermos with hot lava can actually help you climb more like Steve House.

I once had an autographed picture of Steve House and I arm wrestling....but it flew out of my car when I was driving home from the picnic.

ya, he was an awesome artist in the Barrier Canyon style. truly amazing, he left his mark all across the canyons of utah.

or nail it. or screw it. of course you could just place it too. so many options.

if i had had a fat kid with me at ozette, i surely would have cut him open and crawled into his stomach for warmth

Then the man drowsed off into what seemed to him the most comfortable and satisfying sleep he had ever known. The fat kid sat facing him and waiting. The brief day drew to a close in a long, slow twilight. There were no signs of a fire to be made, and, besides, never in the fat kid's experience had it known a man to sit like that in the snow and make no fire. As the twilight drew on, its eager yearning for the fire mastered it, and with a great lifting and shifting of forefeet, it whined softly, then flattened its ears down in anticipation of being chidden by the man. But the man remained silent. Later, the fat kid whined loudly. And still later it crept close to the man and caught the scent of death. This made the fat kid bristle and back away. A little longer it delayed, howling under the stars that leaped and danced and shone brightly in the cold sky. Then it turned and trotted up the trail in the direction of the camp it knew, where were the other food-providers and fire-providers.

Right. So the fat kid can pull you down a crevasse when he crashes thru a snowbridge diving for the krispy creme he dropped. at least you will have a nice cushion to land on! and you know that the fat kid will get wedged between the walls of the crevase before you will so you should have plenty to room to climb out! like a human chock stone

i forgot to mention case of beer in the kayak that caused it to be lopsided in first place and that i washed the snickers bars down with

hypothermia is a much better buzz

ahhhh....the middle ages. those were the good old days.

stupidity can really improve as it ages, if you keep in the cellar away from the sunlight i have my own boating stupidity involving capasizing a kayak loaded with camping gear in a storm in the middle of lake ozette in the winter. passed out while hanging on with one arm linked into the half submerged kayak, and when i came to, the wind had blown me into shore. got out my drenched sleeping bag, ate two snickers, and went back to sleep.

nice find squid. this expresses how i feel most of the time.

If I ever catch any of you on rc or st, its over! OVER!

"Anatidae" was not in my vocab. Nice one to keep on in the mental toolbelt for later: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatidae Anatidae is the biological family that includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl, such as geese and swan. The Magpie-goose is no longer considered to be part of the Anatidae, but is placed in its own family Anseranatidae. These are birds that are modified for swimming, floating on the water surface, and in some cases diving in at least shallow water. They have webbed feet and bills which are flattened to a greater or lesser extent. Their feathers are excellent at shedding water due to special oils. Anatidae are remarkable for being one of the few families of birds that possess a penis; they are adapted for copulation on the water only and care must be taken when breeding ducks or geese that a pool is provided for this purpose as attempts to copulate on dry land will often lead to injury of the drake's penis. Duck, eider and goose feathers and down have long been popular for bedspreads, pillows, sleeping bags and coats. The members of this family also have long been used for food.
