Ouch! The things we do for "fun."
I'm glad it wasn't worse.

He isn't "homeless" until September, 11th, which seems like a really strange date for anyone to decide to kick someone out on!?
There's that reading comprehension thing again.

Actually, Oly, I've always pictured you looking more like this:
-
How come my darn pictures keep turning into Xs?!??!
Man, I hate that!
-
Wow! You look amazingly like that guy in the movies...what's his name?
-
Is that you?

Crampon=Divot=Icefall?
I'd bet $20 all three avatars have the same IP address.
Besides which, if he really were homeless, he wouldn't have a computer; he'd have to be using a library computer or somethin' (and thus, constantly changing IP addresses).

What, man-boobs?

Likewise, I may get some abuse for saying I really, really, really dislike my McHale pack. I bought it in the early 90s, so maybe Dan McHale has changed the design by now, but I paid top dollar for that pack, and have used it only a handful of times.
It has a pouch on the bottom for your sleeping bag, etc., but if that pouch isn't full, the main, top pouch sags (i.e., the bottom pouch has to be full to support the top pouch). Silly. Because when you're setting up your tent, you'll likely remove your sleeping bag, and then the top pouch, with everything else, flops around. And it's very difficult to fill the bottom pouch if you've got anything in the top pouch.
And then, it's very narrow and tall, so that when it's full, you can't move your had back more than about an inch without hitting the pack. Makes it very difficult to check out routes, trees, the sky, scenery, anything. Most annoying.
The quality of the gear isn't crappy; just the design. An expensive mistake, my buying that pack.
Anybody want to buy a snazzy McHale pack? Hardly used.

She's only saying what we can all plainly see but are too afraid to talk about. Is it just me or are most of Squid's posts like that? ;-)
I do try to be helpful. Thank you for recognizing that, Foraker. Obliged.
-
But it was Squidly! See, right here: "It was good for me. Did you summit?"I merely clarified his innuendo.
-
Here we are again, drifting from climbing to sexual innuendo.
Coincidence? I think not.
-
I think you mean "peak."
-
No. But the whiskey sure worked well.
-
I always get people asking me if I reached the summit. Then I have to go into this long story about how I was talking on my cell to my mother's step-sister's cousin's former best friend from high school, tripped over the dog, hit my head on the doorknob, and now have a hangover from drinking whiskey to kill the pain, and that's why I didn't make the summit. Arggh. Wish they would just let me enjoy being out there and not ask if I made the summit.
-
And I hereby change my name from knotzen to notzen, to reflect my actual climbing style ("Fuck!" "I'm SOOO thirsty!" "Fuck!" "Aaaaagh!").
But it was a good day. A beautiful setting to swear in, and it was cool to meet some fellow cc.comers.

Watch out
You might get what you’re after
Cool babies
Strange but not a stranger
I’m an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight wait till the party’s over
Hold tight we’re in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here’s your ticket pack your bag: time for jumpin’ overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fightin’ fire with fire
All wet
Hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown
Dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
Burning down the house

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful
Wife
And you may ask yourself-well...how did I get here?
Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/after the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime/water flowing underground.
And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house!
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife!

After you get what you want, you don't want it.
If I gave you the moon you'd grow tired of it soon
You're like a baby.
You want what you want when you want it.
But after you are presented with what you want
you're discontented.
You're always wishing and wanting for something
When you get what you want you don't want what you get
And though I sit upon your knee you'll grow tired of me
'Cuz after you get what you want you don't want what you wanted at all.
Changeable, you got a changeable nature
always, always changing your mind
there's a longing in your eye hard to satisfy
and here's the reason why...
-
I wanna be loved by you,
Nobody else but you.
Pooh-pooh-bee-doo!

shit bitches I just got off work and no it is not a PM job
Shit bitches? Ow, that would hurt. Especially if the feet get stuck on the way out.
