Dru Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Over the years I have had many lame excuses from partners and given a few myself. "I have to be home tonight to watch Star Trek" "I have to be home tonight to watch Formula 1" "Today is the last day for RRSP contributions" "I have to feed my horse" "I'm going to church Sunday - I feel religious" "It might be windy - I'm going sailing" "I don't want to walk that far" "That crag is for bolt clipping sissies" "I have to wax my truck" "There's a conjunction of Mars and Jupiter I want to watch and my telescope will get damaged in your car" etc. Quote
erik Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 _______ is coming over and we are going to discuss us..... Quote
adventuregal Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Uttered by my roomie... "No, I don't feel like climbing tonight. There were no cute guys last time..." Quote
mattp Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 "Somebody might spray on a route report, so I have to stay home and watch the board." Quote
allthumbs Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Yeah, no one should be messin with the legitimate threads. Keep the shit in spray where it belongs. Matt, if you're at all serious about watchin' this board that hard, you need to get out more. Quote
allthumbs Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 you're a goner keep it up and you'll be disbarred Quote
mattp Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 How about: "I don't have anything to prove -- do you??" (spoken immediately after the guy has just caught his first glance of the objective, but not really looked at it yet and apparently not in a mind to consider trying it). Quote
allthumbs Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 If he's of a cocksure demeanor, he'll think about it all week while neglecting his clients, and then clandestinely conquer the bitch on the following weekend. Quote
jordop Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Beat me to it! Hah, ha just thought of the same thing on my run! Not that my mental idle time is concerned with the matters on this board Quote
AlpineK Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Best excuse: I can't climb cause I've gotta date with your mom. Quote
Attitude Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 "I heard the Mounties may be out climbing in Icicle, and they'll have a rope on every route." Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 -This route might have double rope reppels, and we only brought one rope. -Dude...... -45 minute approach? -The rock might be wet from the rain a few days ago. -Too far to drive. -I have to do laundry. Quote

Stefan Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 Here's a real one. And this one was by a cc.com poster. I found this excuse out after waiting for one hour for him at our scheduled meeting place. (He never showed up.) My whole weekend was wasted--and it was a gorgeous weekend. "I decided at the last minute to help my girlfriend move." Quote
