can a doorknob be said to be more than scintillating?

is that because your banning finger got better?

Glad to see you finally got the number of Ks right...

Scott- Mountainmatt has the beta. No alpine, as the tallest thing in NC is less than 7,000 feet, still below treeline. As he said, check out Whitesides and Looking Glass. Excellent multipitch on sweet granite. Don't forget to visit Linville Gorge. FYI, it has been documented that you can climb ice on Stone Mountain (the one in NC, not the blob of the same name in Georgia) at Stone Mountain State Park. The runoff freezes in the water grooves, and the FA-ists that bolted the slab lines had the foresight to place the bolts out of the grooves. So you can climb thin ice and be bolt-protected, although the bolts are about 40-50 feet apart on all the routes. This was 25 years ago, so YMMV now. I have the old Dixie Crystals guide for SMSP; I could scan it for you if you thought that you might get up thataway. Stone Mountain, NC (photo from link provided by mountainmatt) This place is where I developed my penchant for run-out slab climbing. Now y'all know why I love Lightning Dome so goddamned much!

This thread readily brings to mind one of the more classic celluloid examples of a military communication exchange... Where in the hell are you from anyway, Private? Sir! Texas, sir! HOLY DOGSHIT!! TEXAS!!?? Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy! And you don't much look like a steer to me, so that kinda narrows it down! This entire scene is the mostest funnier thing I've ever seen on the big screen. Never fails to crack me up.

Hey Keith, edit the length of your elipsis, wouldja please? It's fucking with my frame width. OKTHNXBAI!

He is 34. She is 27. Their relationship is doomed. DOOMED, I tell ya!

I took the quiz. Phydeaux is plotting to kill me. Arrrrrr, the little blighter...

What part of sarcasm don't you get, huh?

Happy Birthday, MG. Glad to hear you found acceptable digs in LAS.

Thank you, Cliff Clavin.

How does one "abuse" stone? Witness even more scintillating intellect... Kev, do you fish for a living, or what?

No need. Tvash's as close to his heart as he's going to get. The blacksmith thing, he's really working on that, as I understand it. Hey Pat, how goes the suit of armour?

Ahhhh, yes. Good point.

The Mother of All Classic Slow Dance Songs is of course, Stairway to Heaven, for the most obvious of reasons: any white guy can shuffle his way through it whilst groping the ass of his girlfriend.

Ba-dum, ching! That sounds like a joke Harry Pi would say... "Thank you, capitalist, for allowing me to post."

ba-dum, ching!

Was always partial to this guy...

"Uhhh, dude... I don't think I can downclimb this. I'm goin' for it!"

What happened to Yossarian the ?

When is right? Who is Spain? Why is Hitler? Hi-ho beriberi!
