Yellow is teh yellow, right? Green may be a bit small but does overlap a fair bit.

Terrierists don't werk well with gnats? Ewe must have hot, what, 100 days climbing this year?

Isn't Hong the guy that did crazy stuff in Veadewoo? Or was that Tekeda?

Nah, they're in on it. THe thing about Budapest... is that the mega hotties sit down next to you and ask you to buy them a drink. You do. Then a jiant guy comes over with the bill for the drinks, which is usually a couple hundred bucks.

Yellow is the universal size. Metolius, C3 and alien.

I looked on at the number on my new GG2 and saw it was only four or five days post-recall. Mine could be from the test line.

Hong put up many of the 5* cracks in the Creke in the 80s.
The Veudauvoo name is Scarpelli.
I think Takeda was mostly known for El Cap assents in the early 90s.

Crap! Need to drive back to Vegas and deal with my slumlord to make him fix my A/C. If I have to move out it's going to cost him. The bastard even thought he could raise my rent three months into my lease! hahahahahahahaha. My liar is waiting for me to show up to his office this afternoon to pick up the letter that I needs to send certified today. he's quickly going to figure out that the money he already owes me for materials to fix his house (in the lease), coupled with my security deposit, moving expenses, and court costs are going to cost him more than the $3k for a new A/C. Which he will have to fix anyway in order to rent it out again. Plus fix all the plumbing that doesn't work. He's fucking with the WRONG girl!
