So, who did what this weekend?
Doc?
Art?
Mr. & Mrs. Monkey?
Mr. Epoch?

I went to a new crag I'd been wanting to visit in Maryland for the first and probably last time. There was one route I wanted to lead, but couldn't because 1.) It was sopping wet. 2.) Some toolbag resuce squad choose this, the most popular route on the cliff, route to practice belay escapes/ascending to victim scenarios. Double whammy.

So we just TR'd some semi-dry lines and belayed my friend's daughter, an adorable 6 year old. She was scrambling around pretty good, it was fun to watch.

At one point I was messing with her a little bit by telling her to "use the wet holds because the rock is super clean." She turns and looks at me for a long second, and says (stone-cold serious) "I'm smarter than that, you know."

hahaha. Good day, overall.

The star means it is a provisional addition, removable pending the renouncement of the WMD list and all aforementioned names, affiliates and references from said list hereto on this twenty-eighth day of April, 2008 (TM).

That lawyer-writing class comes in handy every once in a while.

Climbed thursday, did the dirty hippy thing friday, climbed saturday, found an inverted no hands one foot rest, got temporarily stuck in said rest, drank at a bar with a midget on staff, and studied and recovered from the hangover on sunday.
Good weekend.

I don't know. Roll with it.

*cutz da rope*

Which of the above things was a hallucination?

You're climbing heaps, Doc. Lucky bugger!

None of them are hallucinations, although the blood did rush to my head for a while when i got stuck in my no hands rest.

Hahahaha!

Try this:

Commencing and accounting on April 28, 2008 the term toolbag will be held notwithstanding to define Nate [censored], hereinafter referred as chossmonkey. This term shall be added to the list of terms commonly used to refer to chossmonkey until such time that a majority vote be taken within the electronic document known as The Lounge™ found on http://www.rockclimbing.com in the Campground forum. The afformentioned title shall only be revoked by a 2/3 majority vote which the author of said title and the reciepent of said title may not vote against.

How's that? I'm no lawyer, but I can at least understand some legaleese.

Oh, and since you're a donny, your proposed addition to the list is moot. I.E. it doesn't count.

STFU marco.

Yours is good, but not wordy enough. If you were a legalese master, you'd know that a document is considered good when you can no longer understand it.

And since you're a mod, you're vote doesn't count either. Conflict of interest and all.

At least I don't get stuck in my rests, toobag.

Conflicting what? I still get a say.

So, who's the toolbag? Is it chossmonkey or doc?

Given titles generally stick to one person, generally, so the above conversation is now null and void. Thank you for shopping s-mart. The best fuckin store ever!

Being in a position of power effectively makes you a representative of "The Man," and therefore said status irrevocabley adhere you to the rules, ramifications and other non-verbal contractual implications from said assocation as relating to The Lounge (TM). Specifications of said relationship include no association with The Lists discussed therein to avoid the implications of percieved impropriety/favoritism/general shennanigins during the course of said internet conversation, allowing discourse to commence as smoothly as possible with minimal butthurtz on the part of WMD.

Kopesh?

Well Mr. & Mrs. monkey did each other.



We also climbed on Sat. We didn't go Sunday because Bec had to work and we were both pretty beat up from Sat. My back is still really sore.

Bec got to really see firsthand what 5.12 is all about.

Its was a really nice day on Sat. Despite the forecast rain never showing up. It was almost to warm in the morning, but cooled off in the afternoon. I climbed in shorts all day. The cliff was almost completely vacant. We saw two other groups all day and never shared a section of cliff with them.

We ended up climbing in a group of three since Party Girl wanted to sleep in then couldn't find us when she showed up. It would have been nice to have had four. So we could have climbed quicker, but we still went home a little early. Mostly because of the bugs though.

*DDT PM'd*

I learned my lesson. Sleeping in fucks up your whole day. If you call sleeping til 8, sleeping in.

I'm not reading that ^^ ... it is therefore null and void unless scratched off.

Yes, how could I forget Toady!? Sorry Toady.

Did Bec fire the .12s? That awesome that you guys had the place to yourselves.

The forecast was indeed screwed up (again) this weekend. I didn't plan much for Saturday due to the "rain," and went a little stir-crazy watching it get nicer and nicer. And Sunday it ended up moist when it called for sun. Go figure...

Shame on Toady for not showing up until late! I'm betting she was "hiking the Bruce trail" or something....

Had an incredible job opportunity drop into my lap just a moment ago. It's a jump to another business unit in the company, but it may just be my meal ticket out of Maine when I want. Plus it puts me full-circle into what I was doing while I was in the Navy.

Talking it over with some not-work friends, family, and of course C tonight.

Sounds like a good opportunity
Amped.

Marge would make a good bouncer. Besides, at the moment she has nothing else to do.

When you aren't acting like a donny.


You do get your own recliner.


It might be the hot pink one with all the stains that nobody else wanted. But you get one.

That works too.

Sty is just to busy with his fingers up his ass getting them stinky to do either.
