    DISTANCE HIKING RECORDS FALL

    Next time you head out for a weekend jaunt on the Pacific Crest Trail or the Appalachian Trail, consider two speed records set this summer...and weep. David Horton, 55, from Lynchburg, Virginia, smashed the Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiking record by an amazing 16 days, finishing on his 67th day of running and hiking. Fully supported with a crew providing meals and supplies, Horton averaged about 40 miles a day on the 2,666-mile trail. To see a daily log of Horton's hike, visit http://www.montrail.com/assets/Misc%20Copy/horton_log.htm.

     

    Meanwhile, on the Eastern Seaboard, 29-year-old Andrew Thompson from New Hampshire shaved about a day off the record for hiking the 2,174-mile Appalachian Trail. On his third try at this record, Thompson completed the hike in 47 and a half days, averaging almost 46 miles a day with support from one teammate. His account is at www.inov-8.com/TrailDogNews.htm.

    Definitely try the Tabard Inn . 2.5$ Nice atmosphere in the lobby (particularly in winter b/c there is a nice fire place and relaxing furniture.) http://www.tabardinn.com/home.htm It's on 1739 N street.

     

    Panache' Tapas, music can be a bit loud at night, but hip - Good drinks. $$ 1725 Desales St. near the ABC building (not far from the other restaurants.)

     

    18th Street lounge if you're getting swanky at night. Hip music, drinks, etc... In DC, men actually "party" in ties.

     

    Sometime Club 930 has good shows. And supposedly, the Bush twins party (or did) at Smith Point, a hot spot for young R's to hang out... evils3d.gif

    NZ bachelor on rabbit sex charge

    13 August 2005

    By LES KENNEDY

    Sydney Morning Herald

     

    SYDNEY: A man faced an Australian court yesterday charged with having sexual relations with a rabbit and the sadistic killing of 17 other rabbits whose carcasses were found dumped in a lane.

     

    Brendan Francis McMahon, 36, North Sydney, appeared briefly before Central Local Court Magistrate Allan Moore yesterday charged with having allegedly committed the offences over the past three weeks.

     

    McMahon, a New Zealand born finance company director, sat quietly in the dock during the hearing at which he was represented by barrister Doug Marr.

     

    No plea was entered to a total of 21 charges laid by polcie against McMahon, a business partner with Jason Meares, the former brother-in-law of James Packer.

     

    McMahon, who's company website claims he is a former Bachelor of the Year winner, was arrested by detectives at a house in Tamarama early yesterday.

     

    The investigation began after skinned and partially-skinned dead and dying rabbits began to appear in a laneway off York Street, near Circular Quay in late July.

     

    The laneway adjoined a building in which McMahon occupied a first floor office from which he ran a financial planning and mortgage brokerage company.

     

    Before McMahon was charged police alleged some of the rabbits had been thrown from some height into the laneway.

     

    In addition to 17 rabbits, police also found a dead guinea pig in the lane.

     

    Alarmed at the continuing discovery of freshly killed rabbits, some whose genitalia had allegedly been mutilated, detectives began contacting city pet stores to determine who had been buying rabbits.

     

    Police found that a credit card in McMahon's name had been used to purchase the animals at a number of pet shops. Police also seized a security video showing a man buying a pet.

     

    In all McMahon was charged with 17 counts of acts of aggravated cruelty upon an animal between July 20 and August 11.

     

    He was further charged with committing an act of bestiality with an animal between 3am and 4am on August 1.

     

    McMahon was further charged with two counts of possession of cannabis.

     

    His barrister, Mr Marr, told Mr Moore that McMahon would not be applying for bail today but would make a formal application next Friday, August 19.

     

    Mr Moore formally refused McMahon bail and ordered him to reappear before the court via a prison video link next week.

    ...The longer you wait... the slimmer the pickings.

     

    Well, if you hold that attitude, it may come true, but... I find the pickings are only getting with each and every year. Not to mention, plenty (particularly in America) of those married people end up on the market again. And they tend to be more fun. wink.gif

     

    So are you living your life now, so that you're comfortable in a nursing home? hellno3d.gif

    You mean, once your friends get married they find you less interesting? How sad for you.

     

    thumbs_up.gifyellaf.gifNow we're on the same page! I have no doubt married life is superior to the great lonely. 20 years. Singles are often so self-absorbed that they seem.....boring. Now, if I could just talk my wife into letting one of her young, hot, single, self-absorbed, lonely nurse friends join us for some..... smileysex5.gif

     

    Puke o rama FW.

     

    You obviously couldn't figure out how to live a thrilling single life. And no worries, some boring single person is probably doing those nurses with no regard for you and your stable bed mate.

     

    Married people that are boring, were probably boring before they got married.
