An engineer is walking down the street, and sees another guy from his lab walking along with a new bright red motorcycle. He's impressed, especially since his friend doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle, so he goes up and asks, "Wow, where'd you get that?" His friend explains, "Well, I was walking along, and this gorgeous blond drives up on the motorcycle, stops in front of me, strips her clothes off and tells me, 'Take what you want!'" The engineer nods in understanding. "Good choice. Her clothes probably wouldn't have fit you."

wtf, does everyone drive a suburu now?

Oh noes! Stop the madness!

ewww why do people have to go and ruin a perfectly good batch of rice and veggies with a chunk of raw, slimy fish? oh shit, maybe I'm not spiritual enough to enjoy "the journey"

I wear orthotics due to fallen arches. Superfeet didn't work for me at all. I also tried some thermo-moldable inserts, to no avail. I have several custom pairs for each of my boots. I don't need them in my everyday shoe, just in my hikers/climbers/runners. I still wear keens, so maybe there is hope for you.

rooster sauce? I didn't think The Rooster swung that way.

Sounds like a great show, I wanted to go but we had trouble finding a sitter

one day this site will go down and my boss will suddenly wonder why I've become so productive.

if you volunteer, do they make you pick a "trail name?"

I don't ever want to hear the word "greasy" and "anal" together again. ever.

You and my wife would totally get along, do you ever eat at Chaco Caynon in the U district?

You have to name your bus. There's a law. Besides, it helps to have a name to curse while banging your solenoid with a hammer.

nope, but it has vacuum leaks in the carbs -- no extra charge!

I've got a 74 bus with lower miles than that euro. I'll give it to you for 10.

maybe our hamstrings are firing too early

that's a V6, right? wow, $14,000 seems like an awful lot for the year and milage! That's a spicy meatball, be careful You should get a mechanic to take a look and give you an opinion, or at least get a compression check on the engine before spending that kind of cash on a car with >200,000 miles on a gasoline engine.

I'm already pretty skinny, but I'd like to loose about 5 pounds, can I play too? 158 lbs 5/7/07

I'm assuming you're talking about placing gear while leading a single pitch, belaying off the ground? Because on a belay off the deck (on a multi-pitch) I would definitely place gear right after leaving the belay, to prevent a FF 2 from bombing my anchor if the route wanders away from the belay or the belay is off to the side because of rockfall or something (i.e. vantage), I like to place an omnidirectional piece right off the deck. This prevents a backwards zipper if I fall higher up. fall factors are much higher at the start of the pitch, I tend to place a lot more gear near the bottom and once I get higher off the deck, I relax more my two cents
