That's because she attends an Episcopalian church and they allow gay priests.

Actually realized I left him off of my list - Back on the Streets is one of my favs. While we are on the subject of Irish Rockers - Rory Gallagher

Uli Roth, Michael Schenker, Neil Schon, Ritchie Blackmore, Duane Allman, Chris Spedding, Dick Dale, Gary Hoey, to name a few.

Anniversary number 8. Wild celebration, we took our daughter to gymnastics and grabbed a quick dinner on the way home, then I did homework.

Do you know the difference between parsley and pussy? Do you know any one who has eaten parsley?

What a great distraction it's been! And, since I'm almost done with school (only 2 months left to go, I may get my post count up over 500! (Doug, #33) I wonder if there's any significance to my cc.com anniversary being the same as my wedding anniversary.......?

I hear winter going to last from sometime in December to approximately March. Or not.

"I got pulled over for speeding the other day. The police officer said did you nkow you were going 80 miles an hour? I said, yeah but I wasn't going to be out that long "I spilled some spot remover on my dog. Now I can't find him"

On my mom's side grandpa was killed in a logging accident in 1932 when my mom was 7 years old. They lived in a logging town in the Teanaway called Casland, long gone. They moved to Ellensburg and my grandmother worked as a reporter/editor for the Daily Record until retirement, with a short break in WWII when she did her Rosie the Riveter duty at Boeing. On dad's side, grandpa was a scottish WWI vet on a boat to Australia. When the boat stopped in Hawaii, grandpa said "Hollllly shit, I'm staying here!". Not sure if that was before he met my granmother. They got married and the rest is history. He worked at the Lihue Plantation on Kauai until retirement.

There is a crumbly crag on the w. side of SR900, about 1.5 miles s. of newport way. No real gear placing opportunities, but plenty of bomber shit for top-roping anchors.

sounds like a typical June night at camp muir

If it was up to the governers of Mississippi and Louisiana to go through a complicated acuisition/procurement process to get the proper relief, all I've got to say is when you're up to your ass in alligators, sometimes it's hard to remember you need to drain the swamp.

1st of all, Eric and Mike hats off to you guys! What a great and ballsy accomplishment. The stuff of dreams! John/Harry; Where can I get a copy of That issue/volume of Summit? The Paul Williams mentioned in the article is my father in law. He just turned 80 last weekend. I'm sure he and the rest of the family would love a copy.

Bring back Carville, at least it would be entertaining.

I sent a response in to the PI today. Basically said that less than 20% of rescues are climbers, majority of rescuers are volunteers, many of whom are climbers, sheriff's deputies would be paid whether working the rescue or eating donuts (i've witnessed both being done at the same time), military uses training $, etc, ad nauseum. Here's another perspective: http://noe.orf.at/stories/44518/ Whoops, with translation: The Austrian Mountain Rescue is complaining that more and more rescues are not getting paid for and blames this on the increasing number of searches for "East Block" citizens climbing in the Alps. Mountain rescue in Lower Austria gets called out about 900 times each year with each mission costing between 1,000 and 3,000 Euros. Search and rescues for Austrian, German and Swiss citizens are for the most part covered by private insurance companies and are not a problem. The situation is not the same for climbers and hikers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia or Hungary where is is just about impossible to collect and of the costs of their rescues once they return home. The ultimate goal is to prevent accidents and incidents from happening. Reinhold Doerflinger, the President of Austrian Mountain Rescue, is asking the government to come up with some kind of agreements with these foreign countries and is also seeking closer cooperation with the mountain rescue organizations in these countries in an effort to better educate their countrymen on being safe in the mountains.

My condolences to all of the families and friends. This really sucks. Since I began climing in the early 90's, this makes 6 people I know who have perished in the mountains. I don't know if the fact that they were out doing what they loved can be a consoling factor to anyone right now. Personally, I'm still numb from the death of a good friend a couple of weeks ago in a random shooting. Damn.

Great, maybe he'll have time to spray. Dru, look out!

Why does Miss Piggie douche with with Honey & Vinegar? Cause Kermit likes Sweet & Sour Pork!

Actually, the MAST Units normally stationed at Fort Lewis and Yakima were deployed to Iraq 3 years ago. The groups staffing those domestic deployments have been a hodgepodge of National Guard units from around the country. All Blackhawks have been in Iraq with the crews. The National Guard folks have been using old Huey's.

Don't forget to gridbolt the route and smoke some dope in the hut when you get there!

o.k., maybe this one isn't scary. But WTF? I ran in the St. Pat's Dash today. About 50 yds from the start there is a frickin' cell phone laying on Mercer St. Some dickhead running back to get it. Throughout this 3.3 mile jaunt through Seatle I think I saw atleast a half dozen people in this run TALKING ON THEIR FUCKING CELL PHONES!!!!! Next year, I'm wearing a sign on my back that says: HANG UP AND RUN!!!!

A guy buys a new car with a voice activated satelleite radio in it. Driving down the road, he dceides to check out how it works. He says out loud "Fifties Rock". Almost instantly, Buddy Holly is blaring from the speakers. He then says "Heavy Metal". Next thing, Judas Priest is rocking the car's interior. Next, he says "New Country". Keith Urban comes on the radio. Distracted by the enjoyment of what he was doing, he looks up to see a child running across the street chasing an errant fly ball. The mans slams on the brakes and screeches to a stop. He yells: "FUCKING KIDS!!!!!" Michael Jackson's Thriller starts playing on the radio.

Q: Why did the woman cross the road? A: What the hell was she doing out of the house????
