I don't think "flight of stairs" means what you think it does. In any even let me put it terms you’ll understand: I like to lead, for the same reason my cat likes to chase a string. My favorite cats are Siamese. They’re from Egypt, not all, but originally. I once had a cat that ate ice cream. I would feed it to her on a fork. “Oh well”, I used to think, “if only you had an opposable thumb”. Has anyone seen a cat climb? They don’t use ropes. They like to chase string. I like to lead for the same reason. I saw a cat climb a tree once. But it was because my dog was chasing her. My dog chase lots of things. Some with four legs some with two. I wonder how many legs she has chased in all? You know in some races they have different segments they call legs. Another type of race is one in boats where they use oars. Called crew. There are two types - sweeps - where you just pull on one oar with both hands and sculling where you have an oar in each hand. In England there are lots of crew races on the Thames such as Henley. And The Boat Race. That's between Oxford and Cambridge. My daughter spent time at both Oxford and Cambridge. She met her husband at Oxford. He was the president of the OUMC (Oxford University Mountaineering Club). They do a lot of climbing. In England. Both boys and girls. My dog is a girl. She chased me up a cliff once. It was 5.3 slab. She almost got it. But couldn't quite. Probably because she is a girl. I am a boy - so I led it for her. It's only natural. Shall we go around again? wheeee I went to England once. Took a photo of my wife in a stone circle as a fertility blessing. Turns out she was already pregnant by 1 month. Our first child. A boy. Or second child is a girl. Both climb. We went on two trips where I promised the boy he could do his first outdoor lead. We didn't get to climb on either trip. So the lad no lead. My wife still has upper back issues from carrying the kids when they were babies. That and she has sore rotator cuffs from punching so much. We got rid of our cats and I hate the dog next door. That leaves me to get the rope up. More fun going up the front, than round the back. Sometimes the back door is a nice variation. I tried to get in the backdoor of Stonehenge once. That's a stone circle in England. Very well known. Perhaps you have heard of it. Built by the Druids. They are not Christians. In Scandinavia they also had non Christian groups in the old days. Vikings and what not. They had horns. Both the boys and girls. All very horny I guess. Oslo in in Norway. There is a famous painting by Munch in a museum there. "The Scream". Reminds me of girls trying to lead. I saw a tv show about vikings, the archeologists have found evidence that the warrior men lived together in a separate house. They had shirts, and decorated them. I don't think they bouldered, but since they had iron, they might have done ice. Vanilla Ice would have made a good viking and boulder. Snorli Sturlesson is my favorite, he led. He was bold. I think I am related to Eric the Red. He had a beard too. But his was red. Mine is grey. Maybe mine turned grey because I got scared leading. But i have to because I am a boy. Did Eric the Red climb? I bet if he did you would look like him. I heard Vikings were mean. I don't think you're mean, but I don't understand beards. If cats could grow lots of wiskers they would look like a beard. Are there red cats? Hey! I just thought of a good name for a red cat! I think the Vikings were related to the Druids, but they liked to sail in boats on the water. For many years they referred to themselves as the Fluids. They changed their names to the Vikings to honor the football team from Minnesota. Their defensive line used to be called the Purple People Eaters, but that is a misnomer because there are no purple people outside of raves, and to eat them you would have to be a cannibal. Hannibal Lechter ate people, but he was not a Viking, he was a British actor. Besides, he didn't drink mead, but the Vikings did. Margaret Mead was not a Viking either, but she worked in New Guinea where there are cannibals. She was a leader in her field, and presumably a woman. Knock, Knock. Who's there? Mead. Mead who? I mead another drink. This was a very popular joke on Viking ships.
I've heard it takes a long time to make mead. Like it needs to ferment for a year! Is that true?
I've never made mead. I do make beer and hard cider though. And I like hard cider and hard climbs. But sometimes I like easy climbs. I like it when arhad clibs feel easy.
But I don't like it when the cider in the fridge starts to turn hard all on its own. It gets a funny rotten flavor. Do you think it's bad for you? I don't think it's the same as regular hard cider.
Actually, I used to visit my girlfriend when she lived in Switzerland, and it's a popular drink to drnik that stuff - the cider that's just starting to turn hard. [/] I din'td like it there either.[/]
In reply to: Do you think it's bad fro the Swiss people too? Or maybe they make it a different way?
GO
