Holy shit Kev.... thats um, NUTZ! Did know ticks are one of the United State's "most deadly animals"? Just think, you could have contracted lime disease through you scrotum!

I'm a loser too! When I was a kid I wanted Star Trek to come true more than ANYTHING. You see, I had this crush on this girl, and I figured that if I had a hollow-deck I could practice asking her out without making a total dick of myself......AND I could also practice kissing for the first time...... seriously the hottest kindergartner EVER.... Nothing seems to have changed though.

Did you know that in some cases a vasectomy can reverse itself?

I really like that idea..... "doctors of manual medicine". It would simplify all this political BS that seems to make utterly no sense! Ie. the PT lobby inflating the PT degree and doing all they can to take over the world!

I did meet one Chiropractor who basically considered himself a physical therapist/sports med. doc. He did everything PT's do with the exception of utra-sound (I think in WA DC's can't do ultra-sound) and also prescribed nutrition counseling. He was super stoked on soft tissue healing - basically, after talking to him I was convinced that he knew a lot more about the body as a whole than most PTs. For example, he understood how the endocrine system plays totally massive roals in the healing process (like, why eating a good diet while healing a major injury can speed up recovery simply due to higher testosterone and IGF-1 levels - OMG I love this shit). So yeah, as you said I think you can probably do almost anything you want. It just sucks that there are so many flakey bastards lined up on Aurora begging you for back-cracking sessions at $100 a pop. I am sure there are fantastic practitioners however that really do offer valuable and worth while treatment and counsel.

I like to think that I was born a dumb pussy due to an accident of nature, but worked hard, damn hard, to become an asshole for the specific reason of no longer being viewed as just another dumb pussy. One thing I never forget to bring to an emergency situation is the capability of CAPITALIZING the most poignant points of my posts. Finally, I'd like to POINT OUT that dying in the mountains is WAY COOLER than dying from, say, prostate cancer or a disease of the anus. Much as we'd like to pretend otherwise, there is a hierarchy of cool ways to buy the farm, with spaceship malfunction being pretty near the top, and a dog eating your face off while you're passed out from too much malt liquor after a meth binge being somewhere near the bottom. Some finer points: Motorcycle accident > car accident. Brain tumor > colon cancer. Lion attack > pitbull attack. Hit by train > hit by bus. Shot by a jealous lover > shot by your spouse. Don't ask me why this is, it just is. You might just be the greatest genius in the history of time my friend! Do you suppose falling into a bottomless crevasse < great than peeling off of a big wall while soloing? Seriously, if you are going to die in the mountains, there are certainly some situations that are cooler than others. For example, I'd rather die in the big wall situation than get my skull smashed by a rock that some wanker up above me on the DC knocked loose!

Me too. Like making decisions you KNOW you shouldn't! God I hate being a creature of habbit...

Thanks Layton! I've done a lot of thinking about chiropractic over the past few years, and basically I just got shyed away from 1 bad experience. I went to see this dude-chiro. who was an "energy worker". Basically (dont get me wrong, he probably works for some people) all he did was shine some stupid lights on my spleep and pituitary areas, and ring some bells next to my head to "balance the electron clouds"..... then he threw a bill at me for $245. Poop. I've read tons of physics, and the theories make [some] sense, but C'mon, it was a seriously a bunch of bullshit. I do believe that as you described you can do just as much if not WAY more than a PT. I think I was just soiled by that one experience. I will give it more thought.

Getting BILLS really annoys me....... even if I am well slept! Oh yeah, parking tickets too. Especially when you get one within the time of 1) parking your car 2) walking to the parking office and buying a pass 3) coming back to your car to stick the pass on your windshield! OMG I seriously could have killed something!

I don't mind being the treat!

Actually, the alarm itself when used in the ways I've described doesn't have any relationship to the actual [act] of rape. Its simply the sound of it that is so darn funny. Personally I do agree with the statements that "humor and rape" should absolutely NOT be in the same sentance. There is NOTHING funny about rape whatsoever, and the fact that my buddy's little devise is called a "rape alarm" does strike me as mildly offensive. To simplify it and decharge the situation, the only thing funny about the devise is its sound (which totally is not human sounding) and the reactions it elicits. Seriously, it sounds more like toy gost than anything and people just freak out about it - and thats funny! Sorry if I've offended anyone. This post was intended to share the simple humor in startling innocent people... Not to joke about rape.

PERFECT.

Yeah, but not as much as sun. Those fresh spring mornings when there has been rain on dry ground are amazing! Wait, but its still usually sunny in that scinario.....

Yeah, he's a crazy nut. He seems to get off by totally screwing with people..... Just this morning there were these two 14 year olds playing in the street taking pictures of each other. One of them then pretended to pole dance on a stop sign, and my buddy opens the window and yells at the top of his lungs "YEAH MYSPACE!!!" Then he let the rape alarm work its magic.... The girls, completely horrified, bolted up the street and I seriously almost die laughing..... I_like_laughing!

Has anyone on here every tried to sprout grains themselves? I've been doing it with black wild rice, and supposedly it drasically increases the nutritional value and makes the starches more complex. On top of that, the taste and texture are WAY better! I've just been washing the rice, then letting it soak in water in the fridge for 15 hours. Then it cooks in under 10 minutes at a very low heat. Totally delicious!

I'll get in there this afternoon.

Have you looked at PA schools? I'm contemplating that as well. Its a 2 year masters program, and the job seems to have tons of flexability (meaning you can work almost anywhere, and find the ideal hours you want). The mean US salary for PA's I think is around $81,000 a year - not bad at all! Oh yes, Layton, chiropractic? Congrats on almost being done! I know a couple of Chiros., and they both highly recomend the field. I will certainly be qualified enough to apply to any program....... is it something you too would advise a new grad to go into? Thanks!

Layton, what do you do now? If you don't mind me asking..... PM perhaps?

VW, WELCOME! PM me if you want a nice wee Belly-Ham tour!

I'm just a natural flirt, and, you are pretty damn funny! Seriously, that was one of the funniest posts I've read!

Oh jeeze, I got super shitty sleep LAST night....... I've been annoyed all day long. Mostly at myself though.... when I'm in that bad of a mood all I have to do is look at my groogy ass eyes in the mirror and I feel like breaking some shit! Hopefully tomarrow is normal.

i'll bite. Climber. with a hint (okay more than a hint fuck you all ) of the attention whore one who wears prana tops. i suck at climbing but i am consistent at sucking Muffy Muffy Muffy....... I love it! Your post is SOOOO funny! No worries about being an attention whore, I'm a bit of one myself, plus I think prana tops are hot! If I were a girl, I'd be.............. Mythos, what do YOU think!?

weak. use pirahna. pirahna? dunno... I'm sure I could find some hydrogen cyanide...

I'll second Mythos's statement. Western does have a darn good program! Plus, C'mon, the North Cascades are right there! As for which field to go into, I personally am still at a loss... I am finishing a pre-med degree, but am not sure that I want to go to med school (if I did I go into either cardiology or endocrineology and specialize in high altitude medicine). I am seriously considering a DPT program, but jeeze, you get a doctoral level degree and then get paid the same as someone with a bachelors from the mid 90's. I've also considered becoming an orthopedic PA or nurse anesthetist. These are insanely rad posistions, and they pay great! ALSO, I have considered getting my masters in Kinesiology, then going onto a Phd. and doing research and teaching. I personally think doing research (especially climbing related - thinking VO2 max and lactate threashold at 28,000 feet) would be so fantastic! My Nurd button gets seriously jazzed at that though! I like Layton's comment: basically he said: "lets all just exercise, eat well, get a good night's sleep and call it good!" I keep wondering about the possibility of becoming a full time dirt bag once I'm done with school...

I KNOW THIS GUY! He's the loser who got synthol injections in his arms! Those are not real muscle my freinds, they're chemical sacks! No joke. Just look closely: natural bodybuilders have tons of striations in their muscle bellies. Those are just balloons.
