Bonzo!

whatever. As a drummer myself, I still appreciate the uniqueness of his drum parts. Listen to "a day in the life" sometime. Ringo is da man. He was also ahead of his time in a lot of things, such as using a matched grip, using muffling devices, etc. John Lennon once said that Ringo was the heart of the beatles. Many drummers (including myself) consider him a great influence. your friend in London is a dipshit.

it points out that parachutes have not been proven to be effective under "scientifically controlled" experiments -- and makes fun of scientists who insist on scientifically controlled experiments for things which are obviously effective. it also recommends that such people should volunteer to jump out of airplanes without parachutes, in the name of science

haha, sucks. The whole time he was standing there, with a huge loop of slack over his shoulder before clipping, I kept thinking "dude, don't just stand there yakking -- clip!" not that it would have made much difference, I guess

Was the guy arrested? Will he be charged?

holy sphincter, sounds like you both cashed in some karma. If I were you, I'd volunteer at a soup kitchen or something for a while. Where was this at?

I hate it when people at work say, "why do you need to go to the gym? You're already in shape."

No dude, check it out.

How do we know when we're ready? Is somebody going to tell us? Is there some committee that will certify us when we're ready? WTF does that mean? Didn't Pakistan have a female PM? We have more sexual inequality than the Islamic Republic of Pakistan? WTF?

Granola -- with lots of nuts and dried fruit. And maybe a scoop of peanut butter on top. Mmmmm....peanut butter.

at least you don't use your adze-hole to open beer bottles

Wasn't pete the pup a pit bull? He never turned on any of the gang. Case closed.

I gotta say, that's a great pic. Good composition, nice use of background -- good visual impact.

Reference?

1 part hot water 2 parts whiskey lemon squeeze repeat until you feel better

I think we need a pub club, we can have it in banff. Of course, with so much ice nearby, we may as well climb, too.... who's driving?

good work couple still hugging 5,000 years later

yeah, but then you talk to god

Sweet, guys, thx I'm heading out to leavenworth this weekend, and I'd much rather borrow a pair then rent -- and making frequent returns to REI would make me feel a bit guilty (but not too much ) So, expect PMs....

veganism, baby

comparing a pitbull (a creature with a brain, nervous system, personality, etc.) with a gun (an inanimate object) -- clearly, this woman is retarded.

shit, I'd have jumped off the lift right there. Was he ok?

OK, I got off my ass and made some calls. Second Ascent does not rent ice tools. Nor does feathered friends, or REI. I asked the guy at feathered friends, he said there was some lawsuit in Montana which caused them (and others) to stop renting ice tools. Marmot does rent them, however -- they have a couple shrikes, alp wings and the x-15. I called REI's customer service dept. and they said that they do accept returns on climbing gear. So, maybe that's the way to go.... Any other places I didn't think of?

really? REI won't accept returns on ice axes or crampons? Is this empirical knowledge, or second-hand? I have a friend who says he has returned crampons to REI before Their website sounds like there are no restrictions. (emphasis added) Also, I hear that mountain magic in banff has lots of different tools for rent, I was hoping there was some place closer though thx for the reply

haha, stop while you're ahead dude
