JosephH Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 And that's just the first six-pack. It just goes to show drinking is just so much more dangerous than climbing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenwesh Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I just read an outside article (can't remember who wrote it, probably the beers) about a dude who put up runout sketchfests while high as a kite on anti anxiety meds. he also described how hard it was to wean himself off the meds and the various relapses he had. don't drunks usually survive car crashes because they go limp and not react to the impact? I heard that statistic somewhere... Could transfer to big climbing falls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-rock Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 don't drunks usually survive car crashes because they go limp and not react to the impact? I heard that statistic somewhere... Could transfer to big climbing falls. My co-worker witnessed a guy drive head first into the end of a guard rail on the interstate, and roll the vehicle multiple times into the ditch. By the time he had stopped to first-respond, the driver of the crashed vehicle was on his feet running away from the scene yelling "don't call the cops!".

B Deleted_Beck Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 One of the very few only things my father ever taught me, so he must have thought it was pretty important- "Forget flowers and candies and shit... liquor is quicker. Every time." At 8, I didn't really understand why anyone would ever want "inside a girl's pants," but it did come in handy later. Thanks, Pah!

sobo Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Have you ever seen a camel spider before, Drew? These things are fuck-all sick! They run after you seeking to hide from the sun in your shadow, and they emit this high-pitched scream when they chase after you. They cling to the bellies of camels to hide from the sun, like a remora clings to a shark. Bizarro! Interesting reading... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
