Fill a 55 gallon drum full of nails, then empty a 5 gallon propane tank into it. Blow your duck call, lighter in hand.

You just need a bigger gun

Movie reference people? No Googling. Anyone?

I am GOD in here.

then I shot 100 more.

The last time I killed a bird was in high school. I fired a twelve gauge into a flock of starlings. Six fluttered to the ground, where they lay, helpless tufts of dying dinosaur DNA, twitching. I cried and cried, then wrote a poem about it.

It was a traverse...of the spirit. I think I saw James Mason frozen at the bottom of that kettle.

Special kudos to Marc Leclerc's first post. I'm still laughing over that one.

I've got a hawt trucker's tan goin on right now.

How long would a kettle like the one shown typically last before it filled in? Is there anyway to tell whether or not the melt is still happening?

Yeah, well, unless somebody shows up with a samurai sword, that is. Count me in. I loves me some defoliation.

Just kidding on that. Actual diameter, with grip tape, is about 1.25", although 1.5" would probably work fine, too.

I don't want to do any running, but am interested in Little Anapurna. Ivan, are you going this year? reckon - haven't cleared it w/ The Man yet, but seems propitious - gotta sort out an appropriate stupid route to do - probably will rope some poor pdx fool to roadtrip w/ - you gonna show ken? Maybe we can share a tent. Try pitching it IN the shitter, this time. I'm bringing my nephew from Japan. It's a corruption thing.

just drill perp. holes through the dowels near one end, (OK, I used sections of AL tubing I cut from a walker I got at Goodwill...no FUCKING JOKES, assholes!) run some 6 mm or whatever cord through them, tie them in a loop, and hang them from anything you like. I take them to the gym and hang them from the regular pullup bars. You can supplement the grip tape with golf/batting gloves for improved grip so you can hang on longer. This helps with timed lock offs...something I also do. The downside is that my hands are now permanently locked in that gripping position, but I figure that's where they're most useful...at least the right one, anyway. Just wish I'd chosen 2" dia dowels instead of 1.5".

I'm gonna have to thank you all for making my afternoon, here.

I know some pretty good climbers who can't do that many pullups. I suck at rock climbing, so I do them. I do hang rod (two 1" free hanging dowels wrapped in grip tape) pullups for ice climbing, and it really helps grip endurance and confidence, but like I said, I need all the help I can get wherever I can get it.

Hey, I like to read about your trips to the Overwaitea as much as the next guy, but you ain't got no pine marten photos, bitch.

Course, I like Bedouin Soundclash a little better....

Hey, who doesn't like Neil Diamond?

Sheeit, I'm not going back there, foo! Not unless it burns, first, anyway. You'd need a lot longer than a few years, judging by the maturity of the lichen on most of those rocks. There's probably some GIS data out there somewhere that would allow you to track changing patterns from your desktop.

You're crying right now, aren't you?

Too late! I'm already on the can myself!

Cool. Thanks for the update.

I am the mfkin TR KING, you tool!
