Its my theory that it's all just theory. Shadows in the cave, that is what we are, sail away with me, to another world.

I actually had a plans to weave a Jacob's Ladder through the quickdraws, but The Man @ The Gym ain't haven't it with my fancy showboating. Especially since it was a test, and whatnot.

I culled through many thousands of cake images on google to pluck this one especially for you E, on your special day: Enjoy!

Jen, other than whats mentioned and what you could easily find out yourself by tying in "climbing in Java" in google, I don't have anything to add. But if you're in that region and you have any interest I have a small handbook titled "Climb Singapore, a climbing guide of Singapore and West Malaysia" you can have if you stop by that area. PM me with an address if you interested and I'll mail it to you. I don't think I'll be in that area anytime soon, so you might be able to make better use of it.

Is this a caption contest? "Hello! Come here me pretty! Hello! No....me beak ain't sharp! Hello! Give us a peck! Hello! Give us a peck! Ohhh....time for a shotgun wedding! Hello!" EDIT: Oh, and BTW MisterE, that is one good looking bird!

Mmmmmm.....what's Tim Horton been cooking up for me?

Well, I forgot to mention that I had drank a bunch of castor oil before the test. Then I puked everywhere, and it caused a chain reaction and I had my revenge! But...I still z-clipped the beyotch.

When Gary was here for his latest book reading and signing, I waited from nearly the end of the line, and when it was my turn to get my books signed I threw the books at him and then bum rushed him and gave him a giant nugey. OK, not really. Just got a couple books signed. That was it. And told him to stop hitting on my wife. He is a nice wizened old man.

The rules of engagement were written on the wall when you walk in the door. After nearly a year of training for this moment, I felt strong and driven, even after a recent illness. For months, I had punished myself, pushing myself to the limits,and it seemed there was no bottom to my lack self confidence. I tried hide from it, and ignore the searing, all-seeing eye. It sought me out everyday, and let me know I was inadequate. Still, my self hatred drove me onward to the goal in front of me. I had no choice but to face my fear...the unthinkable? Could I do it? Doubts blackened my mind as I tied on the ropes. I focused the rage, spurned on by the dark venomous snakes crawling and spitting thier poison in my belly. There was no turning back, and so I started up the route, as the snakes rose up in my stomach, writhing in my throat and choking my breath with fear. I fought it back, and struggled upward. Click. I could breath easier. The snakes retreated, and I moved upward. The next goal was in site, I reached up....click, and made ready to move on. Oh wait...somethings gone wrong. OH FUCK! OH SHIT! GAA-OOOOOOGAH! GAA-OOOOOOOGAH! WAH! WAH! WAH! .......Z-CLIP ALERT! Z-CLIP ALERT! Z-CLIP ALERT! LEAD TEST FAILURE! FAILURE! FAILURE! Everyone in the gym stopped in their tracks and stared. I hung from the top rope in shame, the test lead rope zig-zaggin on the wall down to the ground. Beta-monkeys and Prana tops alike attempted to stifle thier laughter, but the crescendo rose louder and louder, and soon the whole gym rang with shrieks of laughter as they pointed at me and rolled on the floor, kicking up cloud of chalk. As I was lowered to the ground, I could feel a brand burning into my forehead....a large, scarlet "L". Oh, and thanks JayB for the belay. I'll get'er done next week, now that I actually have figured out how to "properly Z-clip a bolt ladder". This pie tastes pretty good, but I don't plan on eating it again....but then, I'm always outdoing myself. I'm hoping everyone else it enjoying this as much as I am.

I second this post. I've never lived in PDX, but I love to visit. Seattle or northward. The Ham is nice. Sedro Wooley!

HOLY COW! I GOT THAT SAME EMAIL!!!

Seattle is great for climbing. For instance, check out Stone Gardens. There are tons of bouldering problems there.

Sorry I missed the fun! My wieghtloss program kept me home, but I'll soon be down to suitable form.

Sell it on Craigs List.

Well, actually was sort of salty with an ammonia odor, if you must know. Actually, I've never been to Ireland, but now that you mention this I'll try to resist sticking my face down there. A friend of mine went there last year, I can't wait to break the news to him.

I tounged the Blarney Stone.
