competing for your attention?

I just like the word. Cockfighting.

I'd love to meet him. just kidding for all you schmucks who think I am serious.

Bolt everything.

Little blue pills will take care of that. Boy scout, always be prepared.

foreplay is overrated.

That makes me laugh (at myself).

Whew $2,600. I am going to see how many ff miles it takes--I got a whole bunch.

I feel all warm and fuzzy

Nothing beats "Eat the Rich" for gore. Kitch gore. Love it.

And I was just starting to like you.

Amazing. Can I come visit you and your family?

I love this guy!

But forever amusing nonetheless.

Cool! Uhhh, what time we eatin tonight Torg? No kidding! I'll bring the wine. And my fly tying setup so you can tell me what you caught that on and I'll whip up a few right then and there. That pic makes me ache.

Was all that info for me? Wow, I got a little catching up to do on this thread. I'm a slacker.

I didn't get it either. I was thinking that whatever was coming at his head actually did make contact.

And remember that just b/c you know someone's name doesn't mean you know that person. BTW: that also isn't an actual photographic representation of AlpineK. It's close though.

Dontcha love the look the "I'm about to die" folks get on their faces?

He didn't die because of the rope's age. He had just jumped on it previously the same day. Using the same basic anchor system, and wanting to set a new record for length of a dynamic rope jump, he jumped from a new spot. It was determined by his friends who reconstructed the accident that the rope most likely broke because of friction at a point where it erroneously crossed over his anchor rigging, something he obviously overlooked when he jumped from the new location. Danno wasn't dumb, but that sure can be argued because of his incredible risk-taking. How'd the "getting started" thread end up here? Hey, KitCat, let's get you out climbing. The rock has warmed up in the spring-time sun, and it's calling your and your husband's names! The rope was not that old, but it had seasoned longer than it should have. I didn't point to that as the only reason it broke, but it should be factored into the analysis of why he died. Underlying message: replace your gear, don't trust stuff after its been out a while, don't jump off perfectly good rocks without perfectly good equipment. And I appreciate that his friends give their opinions on the reconstruction of what happened. But unless they are engineers who can reproduce the whole thing in a controlled environment and test it under the same strictures that engineers use to test material failures, well then, it is just an opinion.

You get a 2-for-1 if you use A & D ointment. Plus, its cheaper.

Nice.

I saw a strange marmot like creature run across the road at Smith. WTF was that?
