So, I get it on the nalgenes. But is it acceptable to clip a kleen kanteen to my harness?

I bet the FAs of most classic alpine routes in the cascades were done on 50m (or less) ropes. I just kinda pulled that out of my ass, but it seems like a realistic assumption. How much weight would you save? Most single ropes are like, what, 65 grams/meter? So you save like 23 ounces with a 50m vs 60m rope? I guess that's signifigant. Why would you chop 10 meters off? Why not just buy a 50? I see them for sale all the time, usually cheaper too. I own a 50m which is pretty new.

But, should I just buy Klean Kanteens instead? Will this make me cool? Thanks!

That's gotta be the ignorant statement of the year, or at least the day. There are a lot of obnoxious and a few even criminal trial lawyers out there, but our legal system is built on the idea that the private citizens can bring their issues before a court and there are generally two (sometimes more) distinct sides to any question. Trial lawyers are essential for civil society unless you want to have some centralized top-down structure for the resolution of all disputes and claims. There's nothing ignorant about it at all. We have too many lawyers (vultures) looking to make money first, fuck if it is right or wrong. Why do you blame the trial lawyer? Some Californian mother filed the suit, the lawyer is just doing the job he was hired to do. Why do you assume the lawyer is "looking to make money first?"

hey, I have a bunch of nalgene bottles and I've heard that they may be bad for me. Is this true? Please advise.... TIA!

There's a hidden story here.

Early this morning, while jogging through capitol hill, I discovered a pair of jeans, with a belt still attached (and clasped), lying next to a pair of clean, white socks and a t-shirt. WTF is the story behind that one? Did their owner vanish, leaving the articles of clothing to fall, empty, onto the ground like Obi Wan's robe? Spontaneous combustion? I should have checked the jeans for a wallet, but I was afraid to touch them.

kitty porn?

I've gotta give her credit for drinking a shot? I do that often enough, nobody ever gives me credit though....

Who gives a fuck how the bonobos act. Do they study us to decide how they should act? Humans do what they do. If we do it, then it's natural for us to do it. How can anything we do be "unnatural?"

intense beer drinking is sounding pretty good to me

was in the icicle today. The skies were blue, the rock was dry and the approaches were snowless. You missed it, suckas!

I always see posts from other people, "Fred wants so-and-so", "Fred looking for such-and-such" -- can't he post on the interwebs himself?

Sure, cause everyone with kids can pay for private school, and low-income parents and single-mothers really have time for homeschooling I bet all those kids would be better of with no schooling at all, right? I'd say the government has an interest in an educated citizenry, as does society, and it behooves us to ensure that a minimum standard of education is available to all. Thomas Jefferson certainly thought so, too.

sent you an email jeff

(picked this up from a buddy) I slit a cork from a wine bottle lengthwise, and slipped it on the handle of my nut tool and taped it on with a shitload of duct tape. The cork fits in the palm of your hand, with the nut tool extended out (ala wolverine) and you can really punch the shit out of that stuck nut.

Hey, I'm going to be swimming around in some beer tonight. If you're in the area, swing by and we can harass the bartender.

It's a good thing that spray was hidden. That way, Big Lou and Ed V. won't be disappointed.

I'm looking forward to it, I'll be there if it's not my weekend with the kids.

hey, can I play? I hate my fucking job, too!

La femme, dude. Well, maybe not in this case.

A mosquito got me once

sorry to hear that. Shitty times seem to be going around.
