Gary_Yngve Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 That's actually a pretty bad photoshop job. A guy in our lab is working on much better results. For example, http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/assem/ed.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Yngve Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Ouch. So how's the rope? Any sheath damage? Well that should serve as a lesson to all, lips and tongue only, no biting down on the rope. Especially not with braces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDoolittle Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 My testicles are so far up into my abdomen that I don't think they'll ever come down!! Jesus Christ!!

ken4ord Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Hey, you lost a tooth? That's Great! How many? Who made the rope? What's that? Did I hear someone say "product liability"? Now, the courts tell me that I can't promise you a big settlement, but between you and me, I promise you a (((big))) settlement! Yeah that is right make rope prices more ridiculusly priced than they already are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 1. This happened at the (old) PRG a while back, according to much-maligned Allman Bros. fan/former second-in-command Martin (since bound for Texas or something). Anyway, some new person (like, a "newbie" or how you say this) was maybe going to clip, and got the rope in their mouth, and maybe decided to make one more move or some such nonsense, and skittery-sketched right off the route, extracting sus dientes in the process. So it ain't unheard of. 2. How did you (Squidpersonage) normally clip without putting the rope in your toofuses? The clip-'em-up-minded Dr. Flash Amazing, while being clever to the point of painful geniusness, can't conceive of an equivalently convenient means of holding onto the rope while reeling in that extra bit of slack to clip. Hmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 muffin on lead tends to hold rope briefly betwixt teeth and damn if I could figure out another way to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lummox Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 muffin on lead tends to hold rope briefly betwixt teeth and damn if I could figure out another way to do it under your chin like a musician holds a violin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 Generally, the way I clip and (drumroll for ironic effect) the way I teach others is to try to clip when the bolt/piece is at yer waist- that way you don't feed extra slack into the system if you miss the clip. Clipping at the waist also obviates the necessity of rope-tasting. Those who can, do. Those who can't, bite the rope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 So, who's going to invent the chin-mounted rope holder? Warning on package: if used incorrectly, this device can potentially break your neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clipping at the waist also obviates the necessity of rope-tasting. Those who can, do. Those who can't, bite the rope. That IS a great way to teach people to clip, and it makes good sense. But it seems like lotsa times the bolts aren't placed in such a way as to be clipped from the waist. What to do, what to do?! Must bite, must bite. Gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw gnaw.
