I almost pissed myself from laughter browsing that site!
One thing I dont get though.....why bother washing the frisbee before killing yourself with it? Is that like cleaning the area with alcohol before sticking in the needle for a leathal injection?

i found that ninja website quite a while ago, it's SO hilarious, i laugh out loud all the time on it. somehow i got on the mailing list as well, so i always get these "Make 24k in 24hours!" emails from Robert Hamburger.

oh yeah, sorry to hijack the thread. so, to add to the thread, it would also be beneficial to light the gasoline on fire once it is on the rope for a brief period of time, this is what truly will bring the rope strengthening isotopes out!

I don't think anyone is going to complain...


and, yes, lighting the rope could help, but you should warn the leader first :!:

dude, if you use that rope, you get what you deserve. Cut it into pieces and make dog leashes for your friends. That's all it's good for. Hit the old man up for a loan and buy a new rope.


Hey , what's a troll? Is it like a gnome?

I hear that you can often actually pull the rope through the bolts on top of the route and then tie sticks on the ends instead of actually having to setup an anchor for rapelling.

Did snake actually use that rope? Haven't seen any posts from him recently.
If you all really want to take this to 100 pages your going to need some fresh bait. I have an old 50m rope that has probablly taken about 12-13 falls on it, (not sure of the factor) it's got noticably flat spots, and I was thinking about turning into a throw rug.
