It seems that this sort of risk is something that the Banks offering and the people taking should bear the burden of. I don't know the details of that type of loan, but basically if the market goes to pot, there is going to be more people declaring bankruptcy, if they can. I certainly hope the cost associated with the risks of these loans are built into the cost of the loan....but I highly doubt. It just sounds like a way for banks and real estate people to make money while others take the risk, if the cost isn't built in.

The Soleduck hot springs are closed, so the only other hotsprings I believe you have been to. I think you should join me in attempting to complete the Bailey Range traverse in three days. The snow conditions (as you know) are quite thin. Mt. Stone is good for a little scramble...stay up at the Lake of the Angeles it is a cool vantage point up on top if the weater is good. I also think you ought to know about Mike the Headless Chicken.

what about 5.2c R?

Now that you've learned the basics, you're ready to enroll in a climbing course and impress everyone with your knowledge. If you follow the proper procedure, you'll have the time of your life, even if you might still be scared. From there, it's only a matter of time before you can be like Sylvester Stallone in Cliffhanger. If anything, you'll be able to impress hotties like Charisma Carpenter, Ashley Judd, Evangeline Lilly, and Lucy Liu, who are into the sport.

the show 'get a life' was the shiz.

Star Wars fans attempt to compete in Darwins.

Have you ever seen lightening shooting out of crevasses?

I believe this is all about that dog in Stand By Me. "Chopper, sic summit".

Are you thinking of using their embedded gallery, or would you integrate Photopost?

Snowfield. I've never even brought a rope when climbing the Brothers. You'll probably want to bring one if you attempt the traverse though.

It is a bizarre and unfortunate situation. Hopefully, like other accidents, understanding the circumstances will help someone else react differently and survive. It could have just been a series of mistakes made by people that were going hypothermic. If you've never made a mistake before, I suppose you could be critical. Rest in peace.

Mr. Mark Morford needs to let the inner child out of the pit in his basement and start enjoying his life! There are some good points above, but I'm not going to submit to uber-geekness by saying I actually read it. It does seem like he is just finally figuring out the Star Wars isn't real, and is pissed off about his broken fantasy.

I had trouble seeing the screen through my Darth Vader mask, but I'm pretty sure its good. I would recommend going as the R2D2 if you're a midget or maybe some humanoid, because it makes it way easier to eat popcorn. I was knocked over in the ensueing dash for seats, so you might want to make sure your outfit isn't too top heavy. Also, if you go as this guy: it doesn't look as bad if you want to eat others fallen popcorn off the floor.

Ya, apparently there was a tear in the space time continuum, and the resultant time travel has driven me to self-medicate with a little coffee this morning. Wednesday morning, this is, right?

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR NOT SHOWING UP I DRANK THE PLACE DRY!!! If you only knew the pain you've caused. It was at the Elliot Bay Brew pub, right? I vowed to drink till someone I knew showed up. I knew one of the arresting officers, so it's all good.

KILLER! See you on the summit!

Klenke, are you still smarting from the fact that I took your karaoke krown? You can have it back you know, you just need to sing. I think you need to make a visit to the Post Office, old chap. Oh, and happy birthday!

If it weren't on the Ultimate Rolex forum, I would not have believed it either. And apparently whoever who did this prank hasn't wrestled 42 midgets before. There would be no contest for the poor kitty.

Here is one of those "kids": Cute!

Sweet, a Tyvek windshirt. They should expand their line to include parkas made with fiberglass insulation and tents made with asphalt shingles.

You're all served. Now stay out of a my way. I'm baddass.

And it's named after condoms.

Older but not odder, nodder. That is not possible.

If you can do that and eat a pound of butter, I think you've got a record!
