And all this time I thought it was "pompom". Learn something new everyday!

Simon Hamilton, 35, admitted in Canterbury (England) Crown Court in April that he took furtive "upskirt" photos of women standing in public places and even acknowledged having an extensive collection, but he denied that the pictures gave him sexual gratification. Rather, he said, he was merely a habitual collector of things and spent his time cataloguing the photos rather than looking at them. "It was the sort of gratification of a job well done," he explained, telling the judge that he came from a long family line of collectors. (Besides, Hamilton said, his upskirt days ended around 2001, when he decided to re-enter the practice of law and realized that upskirt photography was "no longer ... appropriate." (At press time, no verdict had been reported.) [bBC News, 4-26-06] It is interesting how lawyers look at things.

Drawing heavy fire from critics in March was a Cdn$150,000 (US$135,000) grant from the Ontario government to researchers at Laurentian University, for the purpose of studying the sex drives of squirrels (to assess how wildlife adapt to the environment).

Your points are valid and well stated. Not to defend crassness, but let's give a little room for folks to deal with this type of info in this way. Let's remember that folks on this board face the same threat of injury, death and accident that we are posting so crassly about. Maybe a way to deal with the stress that this knowledge may cause (for some folks) is to be crass or to "laugh in the face of death" as it were. I am not excusing bad behavior. I am not saying that I do not post inappropriate responses. I am saying that a little forgiveness for being merely human may make reading off-color posts a little easier.

Easiest way to fix that is to enjoy pain.

Maybe it was more than a month ago. Can someone help out here? I don't remember what the thread was called. Where is that searchbot avatar when you need it?

Or you could do that. Yeah.

You are a fucking stud. Here I was all happy about my bass playing. I suck.

Yes, there is a thread on this from about a month ago. Search and ye shall find.

redefines chicken mcnugget, don't it?

Doctors said the man, who was brought in by an ambulance bleeding heavily, was now out of danger. What kind of danger does a 67 year old's dick pose to him?

more silent than deep

could you please post the 1-800-mounties hotline to report violations?

That's because many on this board ARE assholes. No question about it. They sort of congregate here. "They"? Nice try.

That makes you Mr. Write.

Cool, but does anyone compliment you for your full rack? On a regular basis.

7. I have a full rack of hexes that I carry around 24/7

My favorite authors are your avatars--at least, I read this board enough to think this may be possible

hee! you just like it when i get my hackles up b/c CBS is an idiot I've noticed something. The bigger the gaper the more likely they are to be in conflict with the Mountaineers. Allison used to go at us all the time, because we were always hogging Roto Wall or some such. Rudy is just having his fun, but I can tell that Minx is quite perturbed. Zen Master Chuck are sitting there with his trademark wry grin. The laid back types seldom have problems with Mounties. It would take a bazooka to perturb mattp, who shucks off sleights like pulling on his lead rope. And for the oblivious? We just carry on and climb through.

Actually there is a part of the Climbing Course called the Mentor Program, where Climb Leaders organize extracurricular activities with a smaller group of students. These activities do include climbing in the gym or the crag and beer drinking, depending on who's running your mentor group. The mentor groups are optional and vary in intensity, but folks who really want to get dirty and learn a lot can benefit immensely from them. ACtually, there used to be a line of condoms called "Mentor". Are those still around?

my foot work on rock sucks, and I don't own mirrored glasses He means the ones with the mirrors on the inside

I cheer them on, but I do it tactfully. Yelling, "Jump, jump, jump" usually does the trick.
