  1. I like "Quarry" because it's CRUNCHY!

     

    Jingle: "This world's a-changing faster than a teardrop turns to laughter

    But some things never change, and they're the things that really matter.

    Like weather vanes and country lanes, where crickets chirp at night

    And breakfast in the early morning starts your day off right."

    Farmwife: Out here on the farm, breakfast is our most important meal. That's why we start each day the natural way. With a big brimming bowl.. of Quarry. [ shows product ]

     

    [ family members pour the rocks from the box into their bowls ]

     

    Farmwife: Quarry contains no preservatives, no additives, no artificial flavoring. And it's made without the use of pesticides or inorganic fertilizer. Because Quarry isn't grown; it's mined. It's the only cereal that's pure 100% rocks and pebbles, for a hearty old-fashioned flavor the whole family will enjoy.

    Son: Great, Mom!

     

    Farmer: This is really good.

     

    Daughter: Delicious!

     

    Farmwife: And it's good for them. Because every serving is chockful of minerals.

     

    Daughter: I like Quarry 'cause it's crunchy.

     

    Farmwife: What?

     

    Daughter: [ louder ] I said, I like Quarry 'cause it's crunchy!

     

    Farmwife: So, if breakfast is important to you, try Quarry.

     

    Jingle: "Like swimmin' holes and brimmin' bowls

    of cereal made from stone.

     

    Announcer: Quarry. Better tasting 'cause it's mined.

     

  2. That's not to say it can't be fun, but let's agree to call a spade a spade - it's pretty much a bastard child of aid-with-ice-tools crossed with sport climbing.

     

    Or Spade Climbing, for short. Like this:

  3. VENTURA, CA. (February 5, 2007) – Mugs Stump Award sponsors announce the recipients of the 2007 Mugs Stump Award. Created in 1992 in memory of Mugs Stump, one of North America’s most visionary climbers, the award annually grants $12,000 to small teams pursuing climbing objectives that exemplify light, fast, and clean alpinism.

     

    The 2007 applications (14 in all) included many strong teams with objectives in far-flung corners of the mountaineering world, from Alaska to China to Peru to Pakistan. In the end, five teams with outstanding talent and objectives were granted awards, ranging from $500 to $4,000.

     

    2007 Mugs Stump Award Winners:

     

    • Colin Haley and Jed Brown: Propose a first ascent of the Hidden Pillar (Southwest Pillar) of Ultar Sar (7,388m), located in the Hunsa Valley of Pakistan. The pillar, which rises 3,200m from base to summit, has been attempted three times before, all well short of the summit.

  4. The Mugs Stump Award is given annually to climbers attempting alpine climbing objectives that exemplify fast, light and clean tactics. The awards are a tribute to the late Mugs Stump, one of North America’s most prolific and visionary climbers, who died in a crevasse fall in Alaska in May 1992.

  5. And the best dog I've ever known was my beloved Turbo, full pit.

     

    He did tear the neighbor's little shitbeast to pieces though.

     

    Not you're dog's fault. The neighbor should have kept their kids in the house.
