Stops a fall into a crevasse. Sounds stupid and useless, doesn't it? I saw an Army training film long ago in which it was demonstrated. It works. As the rope digs into the crevasse lip, eventually one of the knots will grab.

she's a bitter hag who can hold her likker

Speaking of "idiots" "Jack Lucas, who at 14 lied his way into military service during World War II and became the youngest Marine to receive the Medal of Honor, died Thursday in a Hattiesburg, Miss., hospital. He was 80. "Jacklyn "Jack" Lucas was just six days past his 17th birthday in February 1945 when his heroism at Iwo Jima earned him the nation's highest military honor. He used his body to shield three fellow squad members from two grenades, and was nearly killed when one exploded." There's a guy who had a pair. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2004459564_weblucasobit06.html

Given some of her other posts, now I feel guilty for making light of it. All the best to you, Carolyn (and Latte).

She seems so mild-mannered in person...

Sorry - yes - Feathered Friends.

Billcoe, you are getting feisty in your old age.

Got mine at FF. I think they have an online ordering function. You can definitely order online from Second Ascent but I don't know if they have the book. Probably do, check their site.

At the time I put down my last cat at age 19 the vet said that he had hung on as long as he did because he knew I wanted him to.

here comes Miss South Carolina in 3, 2, 1...

I know of a certain French-led construction project...

That is sweet-looking rock. It would be cool to help put up something new.

What. The. Fuck. does Darfur have to do with this discussion?

What about that 34" manhood you were reaching for in the other thread?

good one

Putting her on the ticket would defeat the purpose many had for voting for him in the first place. If she is in the race in any capacity, McCain will win. But realistically, if an Obama-HRC ticket wins, Obama will get not one but two co-presidents (her husband being the other). He knows it and therefore won't offer her the VP slot.

Clearly, dogs are not aid.

Then it will fit some heads on cc.com.

Thanks for posting the update. Knees are tricky, baby it. I am sure I will start all sorts of catcalls, but get a bottle of cod liver oil (you can get it flavored) and take 2 teaspoons a day in food. I think it helps the joints. Some studies back me up. The best brands (most pure) are Nordic Naturals and Carlson's. Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that is also a good pain reliever. I think it is bad to take it for a long time, however.

Never let a chemist start a thread. Get it? "Thread?" bwahaha Actually I thought 'perlon' referred to rope made from a particular method of combining materials (the continuous core + the woven sheath). I didn't know it meant a material.

Good boy! Have a biscuit!

Don't sniff my butt when we meet, 'kay?

and Winkie Dinkie Cliff was pretty wet too...hard to launch on the 8...I suppose it dries out later?
