Your vocabulary could be misunderstood by some, i.e.:
"Good protection" has nothing to do with sex
"Flash" has nothing to do with exposing your privates
"Exposed" has nothing to do with flashing your privates
"Nuts" has nothing to do with your privates
I'm sure that there are many more...

Wow, I don't think you'd be called a climber. I'm pretty sure you'd be called 'Special'.

You started your own climbing forum even though RC.com already exists and kicks ass and most of the posts are made by you! And you have spiderman as your avatar climbing a wall and your friends think you're a freak. :roll:

Never used macaroni, but I lived off of boiled potatoes, mayo and some salt and peper, 3 meals a day for almost a month... the cubboards and fridge were completely empty :)
