  1. So MGBC, I have to ask... did you do any handstands in the stuff?
  2. Same thing happened to me, at just a few years younger than 30. After a hike along the AT in the Shenandoah NP, I literally exploded in PI blisters. It was horrific. Wanted to die. And Dr. Bronner is indeed, truly, your best friend at these times. Another plant they have back there, and I've seen it out here, is something they call Virginia Creeper (back east). It's a 5-leaved, serrated edged, plant that looks sorta like cannabis, only the leaves are fatter. Whatever you do, don't huff it! I got into this shit so bad once while on a survey crew, that I had to take the week off and just laid around the house watching TV and staying ludicrously stoned to dull the pain and itching.

    me too. Which is why I suck at so many things.

    Fatherhood Chess Wine tasting (yes, I know, I'm a winesnob) Tennis Classical music WWII history Everything else I suck at worse than my climbing, such as... Violin (could never really stick with the practice schedule) Dancing (took lessons for a few years for many different styles; gave it up once it had achieved its purpose... ) Skiing (as I have forsaken my former hobby of choice for climbing two decades ago) WW kayaking (don't get out enough any more) Bicycling (ditto) Sailing (ditto) Fly fishing (ditto) I'd say I'm "average" at all of the above things that I suck at. I'm sure there are more things that I suck at worse than these.
  5. didn't see that the first time around...
  6. Then you'd be in overdrive if you ever came across me. By way of analogy, I have a friend and former climbing partner with whom I still keep in touch. When his girls were much younger, and I would come over for a visit, he used to tell them, "Don't feed the bears..."
  7. Does The Princess Bride count as a pirate movie??
  8. On that new mountain they have down there. It's over 30,000 feet tall! What, you mean you haven't heard about it? SCORE: sobo = 0 points for reading comprehension of OP.
  9. Thanks, Honey!
  10. That was such a great flick! No change from the last time I posted. Still holding steady, but then, I'm not doing anything about it, either.
  11. Over 3 years... now that's more like a resurrection.
  12. This one? I've been "bribed" into making copies of it for friends on this site. Whaddarya offerin'?? :brew: :brew:
  13. D00d, I have :pagetop:s living in my house! The wife has 4 pairs of bunnies that have thier own friggin' room!
  14. You are my new goddess! After 5 years scratching at this damn thing, I still wake up the dead when I "play" the violin.
  15. great flick
  16. I'll prolly catch a load o' shit for this, but consider Yakima. Yah, I know - Crackima, the Drug Capital of Washington. 1. Close to cragging all up and down the Tieton River canyon (20 minutes from town to closest crag). 2. Moderate to hard ice routes in really cold years in the Tieton and Naches River drainages, and EVERY year at Strobach Mountain. 3. Mt. Stuart is only 1.5 hours from town to south side trailhead (Esmeralda Basin TH). The whole Alpine Lakes region and the Mountaineer's Creek drainage is right there. 3a. You didn't mention WW kayaking. Tieton, American, Naches Rivers - all right there. Mountaineer's Creek and the Wenatchee River are about one to 1.5 hours away. 3b. You didn't mention DH and/or XC skiing. White Pass is an hour from town. 3c. You didn't mention hiking. The PCT can be accessed at White Pass or Chinook Pass, and hour from town. Goat Rocks Wilderness Area, Norse Peak W.A., William O. Douglas W.A. should all get Honorable Mentions. 3d. You didn't mention glacier slogging. Rainier can be accessed in just under two hours from town to the Paradise parking lot. 4. Employment... good luck. You could always deal crack. It's a booming business! Any votes for E-burg?
  17. One would think, huh? Whaddarday tinkin'??
