    Man Bites Dog

    This just in: Man bites dog! The shock. The horror.
  4. For floating the Yukon, Michener's 'Alaska'. For anything down in the canyon lands, The Exploration of the Colorado River, by John Wesley Powell.
  5. When I went to WWU up in B'ham I had a stinky little ferret named "Weely". Then one day he went missing. A month or so later, I started to smell my little friend. I found him in a poster tube in my closet, pretty much liquified.
  6. You're confusing the matter. Maybe this will help:
  7. AP is now updated. One of the climbers did die. RIP. From the PI: "Mount Rainier National Park spokesman Barry Fraissinet identified the deceased climber as Jon Cahill, a captain with the Auburn Fire Department, and his partner as Bellevue firefighter Mark H. Anderson. Both men were emergency medical technicians."
  8. to the first taker: EQQHS34EMB I-tunes from a bottle cap/pepsi I had for lunch. enjoy. Oh ya...post if you take it.
  9. It appears that sources using AP feeds have both climbers alive, and the local reports have one dead and the other flown out with an injured wrist.
  10. Ya, this is bizarre. You gotta wonder if people are confusing it with the last incident. The PI has both of them still alive. Heres to hoping the better outcome is the truth.
  11. The reporting is all over the map on this incident. The aforementioned King5 web article has one climber dead, one climber being flown out with a broken hand. This KIRO web article has one climber with a "broken back being flown out, with the other walking out with a "wrist injury". And then there was the mentioned confusion about the KOMO article. I would expect that the King5 article is probably accurate, expecting the worst....but best to wait to hear the facts from the people who were/are actually involved in the rescue.
  12. One of the climbers has apparently died. RIP.
  13. Death on the Installment Plan
  14. You can keep your gun, but they're coming for your BBQ and Christmas tree!
  15. After reading this thread, I'm sure a lot of you are thinking...."how can I bring Gun into my life?" or "Gun seems right to me, how to does the thinking man proceed?". This is a natural feeling, and here is how to procede. The more informed people out there, the safer we'll all be.
  16. Marylou, them there tanks thingys aren't very safe anymore.
