  1. Read about it in the papers 3 weeks ago, and couldn't believe it then. I still can't believe it, even though I just watched it.

    Yeah, he fuq'n did it, all right, I just can't believe it. Insane, man. Fuq'n insane... :tup: :tup:

     

    I gotta wonder, though, what thoughts were going through his head as the nose of his boat dipped down over the edge...

    "I hope I don't die... Jeebus, this is fuq'n insane, man... I hope I don't die..." :eek:

  2. At least somebody gets my attempts at humor...

     

    OK, so it wasn't a whole month. I had occasion to see the new ST flick last night...

     

    It was quite funny at times, what with the throwbacks to the original series. Ivan caught that Olson was a redshirt, and obligatorily, was the first killed. Nice touch by the screenwriter and director, there, in keeping with Orginal Series dogma.

     

    McCoy with his "Are you out of your Vulcan mind??!!" and "Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a physicist!!!" were tried and true responses in times of panic. Chekov's sputtering over "w"s and "v"s was charming. "Ve are going to ze Wulcan home vorld..." :laf:

     

    I agree with ivan; I hope they don't do another one. As for this flick, I deem it worthy.

    Live long and propser... \\//

     

  3. At last night's game (my son wasn't allowed to play, but coach wanted him there), he saw a friend on the other team who wasn't playing because he had a black eye, too. Same eye as my son. Turns out his dad, who played professionally, was working on his son's catcher skills Sunday, but the kid wasn't wearing a mask. They ended up spending Mother's day at the ER. Bet that went over well with the mom :rolleyes:

    I'm familiar with that story line; happend to me, too! :) Although my dad was never a Major Leaguer, we did practice my catching skillz at home while I was in Little League. Dad warned me he was gonna burn one in, and I taunted back as a 10-year-old boy would. Well, ol' Dad wung a fastball at me and it got past my mitt. Biggest black eye I've had in my entire life, and I've had quite a few. The way I went down he thought he'd killed me. :lmao:

     

    Anyway, Mel, what you really need to do is come up with a great cover story, cuz everyone at the Irish Dances is gonna think that you beat Finn to make him dance so damned good. They aren't gonna fall for the "Little League" story. :noway: :noway:

  4. Betcha five dollars Sobo looks at this thread!

    Well, no shit, Off, when you put a title on it like that.

    How can I pass up a thread with Star Trek in the title, eh? :)

    And then I see this l00zr trying to moonwalk, I almost had to pukeface.gif

    Fuq'n dipshit can't backfloat worth a shit, that's fer sure. The guy's foot positioning and movement is totally opposite what it should be. Correct foot technique: Raise one heel and stand on toes, "float" the other foot in a backwards direction while maintaining the foot flat on the floor. Reverse foot positioning quickly and smoothly. Repeat. It's as easy as pulling down a little boyz pants.

     

    And ST2 was the most awesomenest ST flik evuh! Followed closely by #6, with a much younger Kim Catrall as the Vulcan hottie Lt. Valeris.

     

    Re the new movie... yah, I'll go see it, but I won't be first in line. Might go on a rainy day sometime next month. First run flix ain't my cup o' tea anymore.

  5. Just wear what you have. Do some lower-altitude training in them and they won't seem so heavy when "The Big Day" comes. Shit, I wear either a pair of La Sportiva Makalus or Koflach Verticals, depending upon the season. Toughen up or tough it out.

     

    Regarding leaving stuff at LC, yeah, everybody does it. No sense hauling all that shit up the hill unless you're skiing down the SW chutes. And if you were doing that, you'd be on a day trip anyway.

     

    Don't worry about taking an MLB or a tauntaun... that's only required equipment on The Mountain of Doom just south of you. :)

  6. Little trail work is all Dane, I wasn't even climbing.

    ...must have been a long painful road for you both. (not Sobo's head LOL, Debbie I mean).

    Trail work!!?? Pffft! At least my head got bungled up while climbing!

    (well, actually not, but at least I was at a climbing crag!! :) )

    And my head didn't bleed as much as your leg did. :provoke: jk :):wave:

  7. It has been 365 days since I took this fall.

    My Dog, has it been a year already?? I've been off the board for a week or so, and just caught this.

     

    Dane, your recovery has been nothing short of phenomenal. You've gotten out more and onto cooler shit than I have in the past year, and I wasn't even hurt. I am green with envy, but immeasurably glad to hear your good news.

     

    Climb on! :wave:

  8. Exactly, bill! Who comes up with this shit?

     

    Scene: Conference room in an office high-rise, a dozen or so suits sitting around a large, rectangular, walnut table, mulling over options.

     

    Suit #1: I've got it! Let's take Air Force 1 for a joy ride through New York. We'll follow the same path that the 9/11 hijackers took. It'll be an awesome photo op!

     

    Suit #2: Hold on there, Bunky! That'll freak people out. We should shadow AF1 with a coupla F-16s. That way peeps will know it's not for realz. Besides, it's not AF1 unless the POTUS is on board.

     

    Suit #3: Yeah, good point. And let's not tell anyone we're going to do this. Slap a gag order on the whole thing. OK, so we're agreed, then.

     

    stupid, stupid, stupid... :rolleyes:

  9. I think that bitter loser pose really works for you Sobo

    Thanks, Off. I've been working on it for almost 6 months now. Glad to see the effort is paying off. :)

     

    But seriously, what about these past 100 days "...have been awesome"? What "Magick is afoot"? Nothing has substantively changed. Business as usual, it seems...

     

  10. More evidence that the military is dumb.

    What makes you think the military called that shot? Got a source? A reputable one, that is?

     

    ...The huge aircraft, which functions as Air Force One when the president is aboard, was taking part in a classified, government-sanctioned photo shoot, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

     

    "Last week, I approved a mission over New York. I take responsibility for that decision," said Louis Caldera, director of the White House Military Office. emphasis is mine

    WHMO is not the military, per se. It's the governmental office for representation thereof. So no, the military was not behind this stupid stunt, but the White House certainly was. Oh yes, magick is afoot... :rolleyes:

     

  11. ...have been awesome. Magick is afoot!

    Allow me to refill your glass of Kool-Aid, prole.

    Lovely Cabinet choices for key posts, don't you think?

    Not a one of them can fill out a tax return for shit.

    Ah yes, magick is afoot... :rolleyes:
