What is the most embarassing thing that has ever happened to you while climbing?
While hiking out from Mt Forbes in the Canadian Rockies, I developed wickedly chafed thighs from my wool knickers.....
Wool knickers, that's sufficient. I'm blushing for you already.
OK, I have a pair too. A vintage pair courtesy of my father-in-law.

I keep it real when I'm rolling 1d20.
Check it out, guys, double damage!

Well, my half-elf has a charisma of 19 and a +3 broadsword. So there.

I don't think you can draw any conclusions from those 2 shots of Hood alone. Like Skeletor said, there's better evidence out there than a couple random photos.
The pictures of the Argentine glacier from 1928 and 2002 were pretty dramatic, though.

It's a stretch to compare Helen Thomas (a respected journalist) with James Guckert/Jeff Gannon (who has less in the way of journalistic credentials than I do, and that's saying something).
The fact that he seems to also be a gay prostitute might turn out to be totally irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that he got in to these press conferences at all. Asking about the vetting process and who approved him and why might yield some interesting answers.
He also seems to have something to do with the Plame outing, which is really making the conspiracy theorists salivate.

That's kind of neat.
Assuming it really was them & not some joker like the guy who writes "Reinhold Messner" in the register on top of Mt. Insignificant or whatever.

For those of you following the increasingly bizarre "Jeff Gannon" story, americablog.com is the place to go for the details: here
Warning - not really 100% work-safe.

1. Have a "meaningful" discussion with our girlfriend.
so there really is only one girlfriend for all the climbers out there
No, I think it's merely an example of the "royal" first person plural.
Although he could be alluding to the practice of polyandry, which, according to last night's Globe Trekker, is still alive and well in the backwoods of Nepal.

I also got it for Xmas.
Rock & Roll Could Never... is by far the best track on the album, but it could have done without the "history/philosophy of hip hop" monologues at the beginning. Lord Finesse's ~30 seconds beats everything else on the disc hands down.

OK, then... write a TR about the rad crack you bolted on rappel on or near the Tooth. Then sit back and wait for Pope to post pictures of Richard Simmons. Submit to the thinly veiled suggestions that you are a homosexual.

After whipped cream, there was clam dip.
Back when Soul Asylum still rocked.

Lead a sport climb next to a crack Dwayner and Pope are Climbing
Or bolt a crack (on rappel) next to a crack Dwayner & Pope are climbing. Make sure to place bolts every 3 feet for extra credit.

I wish my fucking bitch of a psycho girlfriend would "unite" with me.
I don't know; you seem conflicted.
Just kidding. Hope it all works out.

Hope she doesn't read cc.com and have access to your password or you might have a personal drama of your very own.
No, that'd never happen.

Like CBS, I'm not shedding any tears over Stewart's conviction. I think he summed it up pretty well.
As far as Churchill goes, he's guilty of tactlessness and grandstanding for sure, but he's got a right to say what he likes, doesn't he? I don't agree with his portrayal of the 9/11 victims as Nazis, but I think what he said gives some insight into why the World Trade Center was targeted in the first place. It wasn't chosen at random.
That said, may everyone who died that day rest in peace.

Olyclimber & Squid, please make sure to check in with Socrates, Billy the Kid and Beethoven too. With all that brainpower you should be able to answer not only the question of which climber is having the most fun, but also...
If a climber drops a biner on the Girth Piller and there's no one around, does NOLSe hear it?

You were reading a geeky publication? I don't beleive it.I too am incredulous.
They chose an interesting pair of examples of "niche" audiences. Not everyone is a "mountain climber," but everyone, in one way or another, is a member of an "ethnic group" (broadly defined). They might as well have said: "...niche audiences, such as wallpaper hangers, or those who must eat food to survive."
...of course I know that "ethnic group" is really a euphemism for "minority," but whatever.

Let's get this back on track, OK?
-
My god, that's horrible.
-
Didn't you just have surgery? What are you, a hardman?
I was going to say Sahale too.

Any chance of getting "XXXXX" to weigh in on this high-minded exchange has surely vanished.
-
Maybe if I borrowed Olyposeur's time machine.

If I didn't have this MF'n job I'm sure I'd climb at least 2x per week, and be able to call myself a climber.
But without the MF'n job I'd have no gear. Or food.
Whatcha gonna do?

Don't listen to Layton; he's old and jaded. Conditions look promising...and you won't get lonely up there, waiting in line at the hogsback.
Have fun.
