Those suckers are always breaking down. Mine won't pass emissions.

Harems aren't kosher; they're halal.

Last night I went skiing for the first time this season up at SnoCrummy. It was very mellow stuff- a slightly tilted parking lot- but I had great because I was out with a friend (Snugtop) and was teaching her how to ski. She was doing great, blossoming from a lowly snowplow to lovely s-shaped turns with parallel skiis. Everything was going great until a snowboarder bombed down the empty slope, slamming into Snugtop from behind. They both went down. Snugtop tried to get up, and collapsed straight down. The collision hadn't been that bad, but she'd fucked up her knee. I sent the boarder down to get the ski patrol, and we waited in the snow for the sled. Snugtop went into shock, and was shivering violently. A lift attendent put his jacket underneath her, and I put her in my jacket, but the girl in bad shape, and didn't stop shivering until she'd been in the first aider's hut for twenty minutes with hot water bottles packed all around. This happened within sight - hell, with throwing distance- of the ski lodge. I've generally carried a small sleeping pad (butt-sized), insulated nalgene w/ hot water, and belay jacket for b/c stuff, but after watching Snugtop's sufferfest I think I'll supplement that with a jetboil stove & fullsize sleeping pad.

That's so 'Swimsuit Issue 1991'. It's time to get hip, C-Commando.

The groomed runs were fine- not icy at all, and getting better by the minute with the snowfall.

I want this bronzed.

Its also good to remember that these discussions which seem nauseatingly familiar to you will be some kid's first introduction to 'the bolting debate.' While there's nothing new in the thread for you, someone else is reading this shit for the first time.

Is ephedra safe?

Was up Monday night. Nice temps (twenties F) and maybe an inch or two fresh snow between 6-10pm.

Thanks for sharing the good news of his prognosis. He was pretty lucky to have the two of you.

huis clos, encore

Surprisingly enough, I know YOU. Watch out, Buster, it could be anyone.

and the gloves are off... time to put the popcorn in the microwave.

The Regular Route @ Careno Crag. I think I had to make running leap from a neighboring boulder to start that one. No bolts to clip.

MisterE, I'm really really sorry for derailling your thread. Here, you can have it back.

Is this your way of saying I can't use your thong anymore?

No, you get hit by their car when they drive home. Don't drive around Sat and Sun after 11. but then, you can get hit by a car anytime. Just don't leave the house. Just as a public service announcement, I generally don't wake up from my binges until 10am, so please travel with caution between 10:30am-noon.

What am I getting?

Yaks are SMOKIN'!

Friends who smoke: cough too much, always spitting up phlegm, smell bad, make you smell bad, can't keep up on the approach, but they have cool voices. Friends who drink: talk to much, puke in the sink/bushes/toilet, might urinate on themselves, agree to stupid ideas, might give you head- might puke in your crotch. I think smoking while drinking is the coolest.

Wow! That's brilliant! May I cling to your coat-tails?
