Personally, I would like to vouch that Ryland is a quiet, considerate Southern gentleman. I have a hard time imagining him getting loud or rowdy. I'm sure it was an error in perceptions.

amen

That's awesome! It linked Jurassic 5 to both DMX and Celine Dion! It's like 'six degrees of kevin bacon'

You tease! I was all excited and everything.

Note in bin Laden book sparks FBI inquiry THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DEMING -- The FBI would like to find a person who checked out a library book about Osama bin Laden. That's because of what someone wrote in the margin of the book. The book is titled "Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America." The handwritten note in the margin is a quote from bin Laden saying, "Hostility toward America is a religious duty, and we hope to be rewarded by god." A citizen reported the comment to the FBI, which served the library district in Whatcom County with a subpoena demanding names and addresses of everyone who checked out the book. But the lawyer for the library, Deborah Garrett, filed a motion to quash the subpoena. The U.S. Attorney's Office withdrew the subpoena before a hearing, but it could be filed again. From the Seattle P.I.

yup, but the glowing prospect of learning something new keeps me on the edge of my seat.

You've used this one before. I want new material!! Keep spray fresh!

Many apologies in advance- you already know if you'll find this link amusing or not. http://home.earthlink.net/~houval/gopconstrm.mov "It's my job....it's hard work!"

I nominate either SuperSlab or Cinnamon Slab as the racing routes- a bruising good time!

Ken- I've never seen an anchor constructed by girth-hitching the rope to the anchor. I've seen slings girth-hitched, and I use the rope clove-hitched, but I'm a little confused on how to girth-hitch the rope (maybe I'm just slow this morning). Can you direct me to pages in FotH, or to a website that would illustrate this?

If you're not scared, it's not a dive

?? How am I supposed to leave the belay?

It's been awhile, but 'Hung Far Lo' in Chinatown was always worth getting thrown out of, and 'The Alibi' in NE was covered in the perfect shade of red&gold flocked wallpaper.

and howl loudly to set all the dogs onto a 30 minute cacaphonous chorus that will linger long after you've galloped into the dusty sunset.

I tried, I swear. I was threatening folks left & right, and being all up in yo' face 'n' stuff, but I don't think anyone was paying attention. I guess I don't rank.

I've been happy w/ Dr. Simone Kim in Fremont (above the Red Apple Grocery). If it comes to pass to that you need something major- let's say reconstructive surgery- you'll need to see a different dentist (a periodontist or oral surgeon)- so I don't think you'll find one office that does everything. Congrats on the insurance

The weather was great yesterday- I had a swell time with Dan, Marissa, Aaron, Sergio...and a bunch of others. I arrived at Bridge Creek just as AlpineK showed up with the tap- excellent beer, TerminalGravity. Thanks! I hung out a bit- just long enough to say hi and snap some pics but had to take off before long. It was a great crew, and I'm looking forward to seeing how far things degenerated. much love-

post more jokes before you go - cheers

Sisu, Harpell, why aren't you outside? The weather is awesome (from what I can see out my window).

Twice as many reasons! edited to correct faulty link- slimy mollusk

'Iraq' is too easy- and you have to have teams. the 'dem' team has to drink every time Edwards threatens to sue the 'rep' team must drink every time Cheney has a coronary

Cheney shotguns a beer every time he sneers, and does a keg-stand for every time he says "Fuck you!"

Quick! Alert the mounties that there's an urgent need for their dirt-rappel expertise! edit: Pax? Pax?
