They should be advertising this place for some biology student to do their dissertation on it. Looks like some yummy spores are floating around in there.

Is that a beaver hair? A carrot topped beaver hair.

Mercurous nitrate mixes well with vermouth.

w00t!

My favorite cocktail is breaking open a thermometer and guzzling down the contents. Liberal wussies might have a problem with this, but my buddies in the House know whats good for you.

**BUMP** You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while you're wearing these bad boys? Forget about it. One more week here and they're going on ebay. I've given up on trying to figure out what size these things are. Somewhere between 10 and 10.5, maybe. BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY

I've hiked up there a number of times, but I have never seen anything better than about 30 feet of 3rd class scrambling on Neahkahnie. Maybe it is the sea cliffs in this picture of Neahkahnie? I believe these cliffs are just crumbling dirt, but maybe there is some rock in there.

Drop me a PM if you are interested. You know who you are. Also, a pair of 10 to 10 1/2 alder sapling climbing shoes for sale. No apostrophes here.

I won't let it happen again. Check out this Douglas-fir bonzai tree.

All your Arcteryx and Patagucci are belong to us!

Nice. Great to see someone getting on it.

you don't read Oprah magazine, do you? Jock is out. Geek is in.

Thoughts: an alpine pack should be simple and streamlined, and of course have attachments for your tools of choice. Outside of that, I think the most important part is the fitting. I have had a pack made for me by Dan McHale, and he fit it based on a few measurements, including how long my back is, etc. Also the harness and straps should be designed to carry the load most efficiently and comfortably. It sounds to me like you're not asking fit questions, and that just leaves the "what attachments do you want?" questions. The reason you're not getting any answers is probably because the answer is "as few as possible". I guess one design point is to make sure you put on a nice sturdy haul strap that you can clip your pack into and yard it with that won't break when the pack is full.

Cut a rug, ski dancer.

Hey ski dancer, isn't that you third from the left in the second picture?

Arrrrrrrr!!!!!

Lets dress up like pirates and go down there and take all the pieces of eight from these land lubbers! Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The term w00t is a slang interjection used to express happiness or excitement, usually over the Internet. The expression is most popular on USENET posts [1] , multiplayer computer games (especially first person shooters), IRC chats, and instant messages, though use on the World Wide Web in the form of weblogs or in forums is by no means uncommon. The definite origin of the term w00t is unknown. One theory claims that usage of this term dates back to the mid-1990s, when it was probably derived from the alternative spellings of whoomp and whoot. These spellings are variously used in the phrases, "Whoomp, there it is," or "Whoot, there it is" from two songs in 1993 from rap groups Tag Team and 95 South, respectively. Another possibility is that it came from the vocalization made by the character in games of the Quake series when a jump is performed, usualy done on an opposing player's body after being shot. However, as Quake was only first released in 1996, this etymology probably only furthered the popularity of the existing term. Others have theorized the term is an acronym for "We Owned the Other Team", or that "w00t" finds its origin in the sounds of a jubilant Daffy Duck. It has also been alleged that "w00t" is a contraction of the phrase "wonderous loot!" or "wow, loot!", used in Ultima Online and Everquest whenever a player found large quantities of treasure, although it is uncertain if this is really the case. w00t is also somewhat like the Scots word "hoots", which is used in a similar manner—an exclamation signifying surprise, disbelief, or kindred reaction. Another supposed origin is as an expression used by a cracker (see security cracking) who has just broken into a computer system, obtaining root access: "woot, I have root!" A September 06, 2004 article on AdAge.com indicated that the term comes "from gaming slang—the original use meant 'Wow! Loot' in Dungeons and Dragons play—and is now a common exclamation of excitement in Net culture." w00t itself was first seen in 1994. The expression rose in popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It has not reached general usage or understanding. w00t is pronounced to rhyme with "boot" or "shoot", and can also be written as "woot", "w00+", "w00ties" or "w007". It has also been argued that "w00t!" is the only proper spelling. The symbolic approximation of Latin letter forms makes w00t a prime example of leet. It may also sometimes be seen spelled as "wewt." The phrase is often used twice in succession, as in "w00t! w00t!". "w00t" or "w007" is often used as a taunt in First person shooter games, or multiplayer games, typically used with pwned, as in "3y3 pwned j00! w007! w007!" (I owned you, woot! woot!) although this is amongst small groups of people (See leet). "woot" also materialized on irc (warez channels in particular) in the mid 90's - an onomatopoeic word of the sound a robot might make (Clicks, whirrs, and beeps were also popular). Upon entering a channel, or entering into a "conversation" with a bot, you could be greeted with woot: "Woot! Welcome nght_kllah back to #ultiwarez!" from wikipedia w00t!

oooooooo..... Out of Print, Hard to Find! Check with some of their online dealers, like prolite gear. They might still have some in stock (their website seems to indicate that they still have some).

I recall a long drawn out discussion about these watches (even someone calling them small because they are "girly"). Do a search on the gear review section.

The question is: Who was taking the picture?

Without opening myself up to a lawsuit, I can't go into details.
