I saw some strange looking creature buying a box of acme climbing products. Mumbled something about chasing some weird bird up some desert cliffs......

Hopefully this will drive the final nail into the coffin of this thread: Two strangers were seated next to each other on the plane when the guy turns to the beautiful blonde sitting next to him and made his move by saying, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The blonde, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly, and said to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?" "Oh, I don't know," said the player. "How about nuclear power?" "OK," said the blonde. "That could be an Interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass in cylindrical blobs. Why do you suppose that is?" "Oh brother," said the guy. "I have no idea." "Well, then," said the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

I AM NOT GOING THERE and you HAVE to be kidding me This is why there should be a background check and waiting period prior to purchasing a DIGITAL FUCKING CAMERA!!!! That is some sick shit!

Well shit and fall back in it. I learned something new today. Ever see a ship dropping anchor? That chain just running through the portal into the abyss? Well, I had a rather spicy lunch today. And I also have a moderate intestinal malady. Let me tell you, that last trip to the bathroom was like shitting 6 miles of red hot anchor chain.

Over Share. Total Over Share!!!!!

Just tie in and climb for God's sake! Oh yeah, no matter what knot you use, have your partner check it out before you go. It is true that a weighted bowline will untie easier than a weighted figger ate.

I was raised by Charlton Heston and John Birch. Didn't they just apply for a marriage license in San Francisco?

Scott, She looks like her mom (damned good thing) Greg, You must not have a mom.

Anyone else find it tastless that the news media uses this board to mine for information? I PM'd king5news and let her know I thought it was tasteless. Maybe I'm a little sensitive because I knew the deceased. I hate having to deal with carp like this, especially because I have the flu right now.

I have a 8.2 mm glacier rope and have rapped on it a couple of times, but it's a sphincter puckering proposition with my fat ass.

o.k., there should be a law requiring a waiting period & background check on purchasing a digital camera. That is just WRONG!!! Incidentally, I need to take a trask.

I have a friend (hard for most to believe that) who tells a story of when he and his now wife were first dating in high school. They were at the stage of the relationship when farting was beginning to be o.k.. They were at the drive up A&W getting something to eat. He lifts a cheek to let one squeak out and shits his pants. No lie. Had to sit in it while eating his BBQ beef sandwich and then comes up with a lame excuse to go by his house so he could change his shorts. This is the same guy that would call his wife from work to describe the dump he just took. Come to think of it, he also gave me my favorite euphanism for having to shit real bad; Crowning. Oh, but I digress.

And so I am so totally like yada yada yada....

Charlie doesn't need this beach!!! Charlie don't surf!!! Oh Fuck! Wrong war. Never mind.

I did a partial tear of my MCL about 5 years ago. Immobilize, Ice, and after 5 - 6 weeks of immobilization, PT. I was able to run about 2 months after the injury. I'm not an MD, but I have to believe that recovery time for a sprain is less than the partial tear. Also, a while later I had an MRI on the same knee for a meniscus tear and the comment from the radioligist was, "I see the partial tear of the MCL healed very nicely".

Yeah, no fucking coincidence at all that this "admission" comes as election year is getting into full swing.....shrub is a lame piece of shit.

Interesting that an alleged taxidermist can't even spell mammal. Maybe I'm being judgmental....

Maybe Dan - is Miss Manners. Tell me, have you ever seen Dan - and Miss Manners in the same place at the same time?

576.6. My offer for a reward for the 1st to hit 420 is hereby rescinded.

If trask were a cow.....Not safe for work, contains foul language: http://humour.mindriot.as/MadCow.swf

321. $20.00 to the first one to get 420!

Burns? They still call it that? I re-named it "Bites" after spending a couple of nights camping there in 2002. Frigging bugs were aggro as hell!

and a prescient thinker you are!

yeah, for some reason he decided Iowa was irrelavent.

About the best thing I can do to keep my feet warm is to keep moving. I've played with various sock/liner combo's, including VBL's made from garbage sacks. My issue is that my feet sweat a lot and that too much sock or VBL will make my feet more wet. Like everything else, there will be some things here that work for some people, and some things that don't. Get out there, experiment, and use what works best for ya! Paul, I hope your feet get better. I had a slight case about 15 years ago, and it seemed that it lasted for 3 - 4 months.
