I was doing kickturns in freestyle and backstroke when seven-years-old.

no lane swimming?

For me, in part, climbing has been about performing and enjoying a form of skilled savagery. It is a realm where the world will not have it's way in civilizing or taming the beast within.

I wish there were a public swimming pool of decent size (25 yd or m) that I could workout in. I'm somewhat dubious of my enjoying it, though, because I felt as a trained rat for years in my youth spending every night of the week swimming laps and sprints on an AAU competitive swim team. On the other hand, I recall, through it, getting into the zone for the first time in my young life and believe I could easily slip into that beneficial state of mind through the activity once again.

I submit you display the fruit of the same mechanism. Your posts are rife with the judgement of others; you display what you condemn.

a little bit o' pee never hurt anyone

it's their long necks that got 'em into trouble, what with being able to stick their noses everywhere it doesn't belong.

And then there was Firesign Theatre who did a song on their "How Can You Be Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All" album designed to offend everybody. On the album, it was sung by a bunch of NYC cops. "It's spics and niggers and wops and Kykes, with noses as long as your arm. It's micks and gooks and geeks and chinks and honkeys, (honk-honk) who never left the farm"

WTF? Chalk and chalkbag are part of a starter kit? I can see it, maybe, if you were starting out on .10 and up, otherwise, it's just part of the bullshit obsession with learning to frequently and repeatedly dip your hands out of nervousness, not necessity of function. What a bunch of shit. I hate to see someone get started this way.

I've liked some of Geoff Moore and the Distances' stuff.

"We probably could have saved ourselves, but we were too damned lazy to try very hard ... and too damn cheap," he once suggested carving into a wall on the Grand Canyon, as a message for flying-saucer creatures.

That's the toughest roadside sobriety test I've ever heard.

Is race guilt hereditary?
