Squid

Have fun storming the castle, kids. Don't come running to me when you need bail.

Good call, crash! I'm heading back to the squidcave to design a new, comtemporary engagement ring. It will be edible, thereby forever ending the tired 'give-it-back-or-not' debate. It will taste like crow.

Let's not discount the potential thrill of having your wrist snapped in half.

Archenemy's not missing a beat today.

Gary, is there a story behind why you're looking at ads for rings?

I am looking for climbing partners (alpine prefered). I will climb with just about anyone, but single gals should note: Yes I am a guy and no I don't want to date you unless you climb 5.12, WI 5+, boat class V, do backflips on a wakeboard, drop 40 foot cliffs on skis, and understand general relativity. I prefer millionaires.

"Our mutual friend" recalls an oversized Dilbert sitting with Kyle McLaughlin. It was memorable, to hear him tell it. You don't see stars like that every day.

Best TR of the weekend. from Canadia, anyway.

uh, errr. ah. I think 'my friend' is still hungover. My ID is strictly hypothetical, and based completely on second-hand reporting of events. To which I was not a party.

hmm, fascinating, Dr. Oly. I thought we'd narrowed the options down to 'femmemullet' and 'feathermullet'- perhaps even a rare (unknown?) hybrid of the two. My ID of the species is not positive, and was definitely confused by the presence of the super-sized Dilbert and (drag) Kyle McLaughlin.

<cough, cough> Damnit, OC, my opus is 'Me & Bobby McGee.' Or it was, until Kyle McLaughlin went and ruined it for everyone.

Resistance training would be useful. Generally this means lifting weights, but a rigorous yoga program would also work. But honestly, technique is what's keeping you from the 5.10 stuff (unless you're some off-the-bell-curve freak). But lifting weights would still be useful, if only for the boost in confidence.

Farrah on a friday night. mmmm, Farrah.

That's cruel! Epilady.

heck, if i wanted romance I'd do the crack routes under the aqueduct then nod out at the Lusty Lady

I'd like a simple schematic, with helpful stylized pictures.

Snow Creek wall is a good idea. You could make a nice link-up on Castle Rock, or at the 8 mile Buttress in the Icicle.

Some of it is. oh yeah? like which part of the science is "liberal propaganda"? It was not suggested that "some of" the data portion of the science was "liberal propaganda" (although, we all know data can be manipulated if desired), but, that "some of" the reports of attributable affects are exagerated; this is promulgated by both the Left and Right. If you swalllow everything you hear and read as credible and are unable, or unwilling, to discern apart from political alignment implausibility, you will follow many primrose paths. You've witnessed many flamboyant scientific claims by both the Left and Right on this subject. I suspect you've read more into my statement than was there... again. Wherever people and money are involved, there is bias. playing on words again ... individual bias cannot explain that 99.99% of the science says warming is real... No, money and people is a very effective formula for bias. Don't you question who funded research and speculate of bias if the results are not acceptable to you? Also, my statement reflected on the folly of those that write-off all of the data as "liberal hogwash"; it should be easy to construe my acceptance of the reality of global warming. It seems your biased judgment of me inhibits your interest in understanding what I write. There can be no doubt of an affect, it is the great extent that has yet to be quantified... doubtful it ever will; quite a complex equation, probably with variables yet to be known and defined. source (reputable, please). which greenhouse gas? certainly not CO2 (pinatubo was in 1991): http://www.magazine.noaa.gov/stories/images/maunaloacarbondioxide.jpg Sorry, don't remember the study. I read it sometime around '95. Well, you've matched my "study suggested" statement with a patent claim. Very bold considering your claim requires at least three orders of magnitude more conjecture on the emissions from volcanoes in the last 150 years. I agree. I just wanted to quote something with this many quotes in it.

Yowza! Once can only imagine the strained and awkward silence.

This thread brought 'em all out of the woodwork.

LINK!! C'mon, Thinker, we're dyin' here! and Archenemy needs fresh meat.

Propose while drunk and subsequently deny everything. Post tragic story online to seduce the next one.

not. irrespective of what went bad, the ring goes back to the guy. Bullshit. Irrespective of what went bad, the guy gave a gift. It's not conditional.
