I hear I have this effect on people.

Silly- I'll shave before Pub Club

Way to go, Mark!

Eat the plastic, just don't bite the rope!

That's the funniest thing. I generally don't bite the rope (see irrational fear, above) AND people far away claim they heard my high-pitched shriek of fear as I plummeted. Others claim they heard me yell 'take' (not likely- this wasn't a sport route). I have no idea what happened. One minute I was shitting bricks trying to jam the wrong cam into the crack, the next I was hanging in the harness, spitting blood.

Poke fun- that's why I'm posting. I figure if I stand up and take my spray like a man, it'll serve as a reminder to some poor sucker in the future. I believe my role in this life is to serve as a warning to others.

Silly me- I chose the cheap dental plan. 50% coverage for extracting the remains of the teeth, 50% coverage for the falsies. No more No more On the other bright side: I now get to claim that my liquid diet has a valid medical reason.

While in the midst of enoying a beautiful weekend down at Smith with friends, I took a whipper with unfortunate consequences. When clipping, I rarely bite the rope (as some do) because a deep and morbid fear of falling and having the teeth ripped from my head. Oddly enough, this weekend I bit the rope, I fell, and the teeth were ripped from my head. Just got back from the dentist- looking at a couple sessions of oral surgery in the near future. The real bummer (aside from the humiliation of falling on an easy route, the lameness of ending a beautiful day early, etc.) is that this is not covered by my dental plan. The money I'd been saving to go to Europe will now be invested in a set of false chompers. Sucks to be me today.

Dean & McCain in 2008!

The vegas bookies say: Mounties outweigh cc.commies Mounties outnumber cc.commies Mounties wear more armor than cc.commies Mounties neither baked nor tanked. Impromptu weapons of daisied oval 'biners much more ferocious than daisied neutrinos. We'd get our asses kicked.

Sounds charming!

What: Spring Rope Up Time: soon, but after April 4th= April 10th & 11th? Place: Index, Squeamish, 11worth?

I have an inexplicable distaste for 38. How's about INDEX? Beautiful views, nice long routes, south(ish) facing, lovely river down below to chill my overheated tentacles in.

Speaking of which, where the hell is Beck? Just when we need a self-aggrandizing leader, we have a power vacuum? Who will guide us in our hour of need?

Whoa, big fella. A ski-in is definitely NOT a rope-up. What's the big difference, you ask? A bunch of like-minded freaks get together and get their groove on, who could ask for more? The difference is the Prana. I nominate Smith, the weekend of March 27th & 28th.

Sunny belays Prana tops debauchery and me passed out in the back of the station wagon. Who's gonna plan this plab-fest?

Squid pro quo, Icegirly. I'll squeeze into the obscene Wranglers with the oversized belt buckle, but what's in it for me? You'd better show up with a big bouffant and a calico dress. And we'll dance like this:

Uh.. I don't wanna discuss it here...

OMFG! I agree with BOTH GregW and WillStrickland in the same post~ Free ice cream in hell today, kids!

Sweet fist, Arlen! Yeah, I spend my share of time getting brow-beaten by my Alzheimer-stricken grandfather. He's a sexist, racist, beligerent drunk and he's my hero. You take the good where you find it. peace-

Sadly, the AMD's are set up for right-handed people- unlocking them bites ass if you're a lefty like me (even Squids are chiral).
