Just curious, jclements, why is your avatar a pic of a headstone with "Pogue" inscribed upon it?

Brrrr. You're kidding, right? Oh wait, your Westfalia has propane-fired heaters, doesn't it...?

A second on this as my favorite climbing quote from a movie. For climbing literature: "Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from surviving bad judgment." From personal experience: This needs a set-up. Both of my kids (6 yo boy, 4 yo girl) are adopted from Vietnam and China, respectively. This costs several thousands of dollars to do, and there's not much in the way of "receipts" for sums paid along the way. At home one day last year or so, my son was becoming increasingly irritated with his little sister, who had been baiting him mercilessly for the better part of a couple hours... At his wits' end, he asks me, "Daddy, can we just take Elaina back to China?" Me: "Well, you know we can't do that, son." Son: "Is it because we don't have the receipt?"

60*F here yesterday. Kevino even went climbering at Vantage.

Climbering hats like that were de rigueur for the day...

That was a she?

How old did she say she was...? The penalties for ignorance of her legal status can be pretty severe...

What can I say... Carlos is singularly the most magnanimous climber I have ever met. He rocks my world. If you're looking for a mountaineering/climbering hero, he's the ticket. And Greg Mortenson's book was an excellent read, too. Y'all should get a copy and sit down with it.

Which might explain the time of this post...

WOOD NYMPH!!!1 WTF have you been? I missed ya, Shugga! :kisss:

HTF did I miss this TR? That is crazee, climberin' only two freakin' months outta the whole year. Weird...

One word, Teresa... beans. They'll make you lighter than air...

omg, so hot right now http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/chat :lmao: That is so funny, Trogdor! Seriously, has anyone here ever used the chat room?

It was posted 12-19-08? SOCK AND AWE... Link, Norm? A search using "sock awe" in subject, newer than 2 months, returned nothing.

If Carlos is going to "focus on interesting sub-6,000m peaks", then you can damn well rest assured that you're going to be entertained. Dane, Glad to hear that you're back in your shop and doing better. Take care, man.

I don't have time to search to see if this has already been posted. If so, then my apologies... Similar to the Whack-a-Mole game from days of yore. Comes complete with soundtrack! Aksalser!!!1

Yeah, but I betcha he woulda if he thought for 1 second that he coulda got it past the censors...

That's just stoopid. What has this country degraded unto? Shit, that old show Candid Camera would never be able to make the airwaves today with this kind of mentality.

Read that too, only the report I saw listed 5 dead. The uncle of one of the pirates blames the US and the naval surveillance as the reason for his nephew's death. Paraphrasing the uncle: "If the naval surveillance was not in place, then my nephew would not have to run from the warships, and his boat would not have capsized." Yeah, that's some blistering logic there, Unc...

but we mean that in a nice way...

Shit, how'd you guess that, Bill? Am I that predictable? Christ, a guy isn't even given the benefit of the doubt around here anymore... FYI, this evening's fare is Sunnyside's very own Snipes Mountain Brewery Coyote Moon 'merkan brown ale... mmmmmmmm... Got two whole fuq'n growlers of this magic elixir for the weekend. w00t w00t!!!1 Well, just a bit over a growler now, I guess... Coyote Moon is da shizzle. Y'all go get some. Tell 'em Sobo sent ya, ya here? Oh yeah, this Bagdasarian guy sucks, and should be lynched. I'll drink to that.

Wise beyond your years you are, young Jedi Knight, hmmmmm? Yeeeeeesss...

Old or not, I still salute you.

Foolish old Jedi are you. See can't you, light sabers she is repelling with use of force, not catching? Mind you, Youngling, be not harsh with your words to Jedi Grand Master, hmmmm?

Now that was a helluva funny story, Reilly. As an enginerd, sailor, and climber, I can appreciate your choice of lexicon for that tale.
