So Dru tell me this, if you were trying to lose weight and you had the choice of using oxidate phosphorylation or using a purely anaerobic glycolytic state, which one would you choose? Who weighs less? Weightlifter Aerobic athlete? These two people are not representative of the vast majority of folks who work out. They do not prove your point. Although weightlifting is primarily an anaerobic activity (which, by the way, you can adapt by doing aerobic activities in short bursts between lifting sets), you do burn calories while lifting. But the real weight-loss or weight-control benefits come after building muscle. Muscle burns energy, even while at rest. The more muscle you have, the more energy you burn. Your basal metabolic rate goes up; and your weight gets easier to manage.

Oh, so you were an expert Tricam Man from the beginning. Well, good for you.

Wasn't that hypothesis already proven?

Taiwan is not claiming a world first. Others have bred partially fluorescent pigs before. But the researchers insist the three pigs they have produced are better. Better for what? Good thing they aren't wasting time with crazy shit like stem cell stuff, organ transplant compatibility, better bacon, whatever.

Just grab a lunch from the company fridge. There is always a great variety--free for the taking!

Are you sponsored by Zero Cams, or what? Wild Country sure is getting a lot of free testimonials out of you. I'm not sponsored by Camp either but I like TriCams too. One of the only good inventions by the Lowes IMHO. The good thing about Tricams is that they are disposable. Once you place it, that sucker stays put.

I know that when I first started climbing, climbers were still considered a bit of a freak show. My partner and I were heading out to a wall in Zion and lugging our aid gear, portaledge, etc; and people stopped us and asked to take our picutures. That was amusing, but it got better. The first morning I got up to fill my Nalgene bottle, a busload of tourists unloaded and stared up at us through binoculars, huge camara lenses, whatever. It was unreal.

I heard on another site that if you bring an orange alien onto an Alaska Airlines flight, the plane will crash.

My eponym.

Urine dangerous territory.

The most dangerous Nalgenes are the ones that get dropped by climbers above you.

We have two lunchladies. One is super quiet and mousey. The other is a big tattooed gal who kinda scares me. What is up with lunchladies?

21. I never know how I am going to perform on any given climb during any given day. Sometimes I am utterly fearless and climb with power and grace. And then there are days I just suck.

Happy Birthday Snugtop!

I've never made pasties before. I buy them at Spartacus. I LOVE that place!! Best shop in Portland.

If you are a Bruce Lee fan, there are some great local annual events. Some of his students still teach around here.

He moved to Seattle in the 60's and attended University of Washington. He is buried here.

Any guy who believes that shit is a sucker. Any chick who believes it is probably a golddigger who ain't worth your time, much less yer money. (Naturally, both of these convictions will have exceptions, but them's my gut reactions...) That's so fuckin cliche. I don't think that type of thing can ever be that cut & dry. It all depends how long you've known the other person, and what type of events the date is to consist of, and other factors. Now that does sounds like a good general rule o' thumb to me... I mean, the minimum number of dates should be flexible (again, depending on various factors). But if on the 3rd date, you're ready to get naked, and the other party needs "more time" .... it most likely means that they reeeaally just DON'T like sex very much, or maybe just have a lot of hangups with it. So why waste any more time with them? So to sum your thoughts up: You don't pay for dinner b/c that would prove that the woman is a gold digger. You don't need to give your potential date a couple of days notice b/c you are the better judge of that person's scheduling needs than they are. You expect get fucked by the third date b/c not to is proof that she is fucked up. Wow, you effectively absolved yourself of any need to be considerate in any way and conveniently blame any future failure on the chick in question. Nice work.

clearly, it's this attitude that has given sp'ed his reputation for being great in bed or in his case, outstanding in his field. You couldn't handle my moves. What, like moving outta mom's place?

Stupid brits.

I don't believe that for a minute.

Obviously you are no geek.
