  1. I've talked to people who burned the inside of their nose to Were talking blisters here. How much would that suck?
  2. Thanks. I guess i'm just used to seing accident discussions here.
  3. Just got the guide book and it's actually called Double Trouble. The "5.5" finish goes straight up the crack on the left, i'm guessing to a gear anchor, but with a redirect the bolts on the 5.9 just to the right make a nice top rope anchor. It still gets a big 5.5 my though. Oh, and First Blood is not a fist crack unless your 6'4", 250 lbs with hands to match! That thing is offwidth more than anything else.
  4. Posted from Seattle Times I'm amazed this hasn't been brought up yet. On the upside it looks like everyone will be ok.
  5. You might actually see if there are any friendly Seattle Mountaineers running around. They actually put out a DVD a couple of years ago that goes over their standard crevasse rescue method. (Pretty much the same as discussed in FOTH) That said, sounds like you've got a good handle on it. Doing it in the backyard or at a park is a great way to start, but actually taking a team out to do reps, either on a relatively benign glacier under heavy supervision, or if the snow is sufficient i've even heard of people doing it off the overhangs in the Paradise parking lot. Going through the full scenario in a mountain environment, while actually getting a feel for the hauling etc really helped things sink in with me.
  6. I believe the more eloquent is expression would be Come on, one more post you freakin lightweight
  7. Poor thing, you'll be an official Newbie in no time! And any belief in any sort of God is an A Priori assumption, just like the belief that there isn't a God. All aspects of the universe are entirely self consistant when either one is assumed, but fundamentally both beliefs are based on a leap of faith. Agnosticism just avoids the decision all together, which is also self consistant and who says "God" has to be a deity? Should read some Taoism.... Trying to name "God" or assign charachteristics or motivations to "God" is rather pointless. And work is for Wussies who have real jobs!
  8. hey, aren't you married? marriage is the cure for drooling? And fucking? Only if your married to a "perceptive" man.

  11. Darlin, not unless your more flexible than I am.
  12. The greater question is, does God/goddess/the gods exist? And would he/she/they give a flying fuck that earthlings are bashing each other? It's people's belief of who God is, and their "relationship" to God that causes the trouble. We'd all be better off being agnostics, like me. You don't see me going around blowing up buses. Although I occasionally feel like punching someone in the face. Actually we'd probably be better of as Buddhists. All you freakin agnostics are screwing up the environment with your self indulgent Hummers
  13. The new testament is meant to supersede the old you wanker.

    See, trying to do the whole reading subtle signals into his actions thing again. Your leaving had no bearing what so ever on whether or not he paid the tab or thought it was a date. If he thought it was a date that decision was made before he got dressed, or met you for dinner and 99% chance that whether it was a date or not is utterly independant of whether or not he was going to pay the bill.

    Huh? I've never heard that. A lot men are just trained to always try and pick up the tab in all situations, especially for women. Not necessarily a date from my perspective. Half the issue is that women seem to think that men are "complex" creatures capable of both understanding and sending subtle signals . Silly girls. Trust me, if he's straight, chances are your "signals" aren't getting through on even a semi-conscious level. Blunt, I mean, 2"x4" up side the head blunt, is typically the only thing that gets through with any degree of consistancy.
  16. Didn't we already invade Texas? Isn't that how we got it in the first place? Maybe we should finally end the occupation and give it back to mexico.
  17. Enough with the flirting already.

    I beliee the correct term is "Psycho Hose Beast". Of course "Psycho" and "Stalker" are nice gender neutral terms.
