worst accident I've ever seen

and this was headed for the lakehouse' party with badash!!

MY EYES!!!MY EYES!!!MY EYES!!! OH THE INHUMANITY OF IT. I'LL GO HAVE A COLD ONE TO TOAST THEIR PASSING BEFORE THEY COULD FULFIL THEIR PURPOSE IN LIFE. OH TO DIE SO YOUNG.
Cheers!

yeah, I got some glass in my tongue from trying to lick up the spills. Their cousins in my fridge' took it pretty hard.

OMG what do we do in such tragedies. I think we shall give them a proper wake. Yes That's what I shall do tonight.

D'you think the driver might have been, err.... dipping into to merchandise?

what is all that stuff anyway

I'm sorry, I was at a loss for words......I thought I could handle it all, my years as an EMT couldn't prepare me for this! *sniff sniff*

Oddly enough, it appears as a sort of attractive artistic scene, in its randomness of scattered and broken bottles. The entropy effect, that state where matter has gone back to the natural state of disorganization, of ramdomness. So little effort needed to return this beverage back to its disorganized state it seems. So much more effort to keep it in a bottle, open it carefully, consume its liquid pleasures and then recycle it through the body and back to the environment when taking a leak out back on the garden. Such is life. And who says climbers don't have deep thoughts.?

That was really profound Woody.

I'm pretty sure this is a sign from GOD that he thinks beer tastes like POOP too! Only an honest and just God would permit such an event!

DING-DING-DING!

and so begins another round...bring it on! (I'm the Chuck Norris of beer haters!)

Sure you are.....uh huh I belive you. I'm the Bruce Lee of Beer Drinkers

Surrender! Your beer drinking Kung-Fu is no good in this village!

Never you NOn Beering drinking poop.

Because of beer, I'm often known as 'Otis', as from the old Andy Griffith show. Now that's profound.

I'm a drunken philosopher. If you can figure out what I am saying it could be preofound and never ask me to repeat it (cuz I would have forgotten what I said 5 seconds later).

i'm home with beer in hand right now, ready to laugh at the Cubs home opener on TV.

This might sound dumb are the cubs baseball (okay I only unbderstand Hockey, Curling and figure skating in the form of organized sports).

Yes Bex, the Cubs are a baseball team. Hey Woody.....Go Cardinals!!! WOOHOOO.
A drunks mans (or womans) words are a sober mans thoughts, remember that Woody. And Trash, I can't really say anything to you, I can't even look at you right now. Can I bring beer when I come to visit? nah fuck that, I'll just bring whiskey.

Thanks for the clarification I thought they were.

No Bex, the Cubs only think they are baseball. They are actually a joke on professional sports of all kinds. Real men play hockey, not for the Cubs.

You can bring beer GB! I'll have a Whiskey and DP and my wife'll have a beer with ya. I'm really not much of a drinker anymore though, I just feel better if I don't drink and I vary rarely crave it. Not sure why beer tastes so nasty to me, same goes for wheat bread. Maybe it's the hops er something.

beer? Wheat? maybe gluten allergy starting for you. Buddy of mine never had it until just lately. Sad day to give up beer I say.

awwww no wonder you guys didnt show up! Man i avoided this topic b/c i thought it was gonna be a gross climbing accident... hahaha... anyways, im just gonna go ahead and say that although this is a tragedy, its all good because we dont need beer... wine is wayyyyy better.

woody we just posted a comment at the same time!

you, me, we're in total karma' tonight, eh? I feel it.

I'm allergic to gluten...Guiness effects me the least.

for sure. sharing the same vibes!

And I thought I was allergic to Tequilla...but it was thre limes..so I drink it with tobasco now.

Bex: something called Redbridge is the beer my friend found ( gluten free) so he's happy. Although I would go for Guinness any day.

Ash:...beer during the hot sunny days; red wine in the evenings. There's always a bottle of red next to the hot tub at night here at Camp Woodchuck.

I 'll see if I can find it in Canada (we have different beers you know).

I;m honored that a post over spilled beer has achieved 30 plus responses. Either we are a sport related much to drinking and crying over spilled beer, or the catchy title caught attention of those seeking bloody accidents. Undecided on that one.

I think the gore hungry drunks is a good way to describe us.
Licentia Haud Vestigium

yep...that's me anyways.

or maybe we just look at every single thing on the site and post a reply.......

.....Considering the fact that there is a core group here that do the actual posting......Cheers! We rock! Or we're just nerds as Kat just now so eloquently put it.
Licentia Haud Vestigium

who is kat?

I try to check other stuff, but agree that there are about 6 or 7 of us since I joined up who make up most of the chatter.OR am I unlinked to dozens of others who are equally active on topics I just don't have interest in or check out? I try to check all photos out and make comments to 'regulars' or new exciting ones. But I'm sure there is alot I've missed each day.

You guys are all great, but it'd be cool to get some new voices posting too. (We know there are plenty of folks who only "lurk".) ... How about encouraging your friends to participate as actively as you?

agree. so listen up..HEY ALL YOU IDIOTS OUT THERE REMAINING QUIET!@ Sorry.
Git' on board and tell us a thing or two about yourself. I can't count how many names in the 'members directory' I've checked on who have NO points, no bio, no photos posted...just registered for some reason but doing nothing out there on the site. Post up! tell us what you think of CT, Gonzo, Bex, Woody, spudz, climbingwall, and our favorite boulderer Badash'. Katie can't post new stuff every day...it takes all of us to come up with stuff to share.
cheers to more postings.

I agree. Call'n all Canucks, there are tonnes of you registered but I never see you.

Bring on the belittlement! I can't wait! This is gonna be so much more fun when EVERYONE starts posting.
Please people, seriously now, I'm getting tired of seeing these joksters! ( you guys rock)
Licentia Haud Vestigium

agree ! yes, please someone out there start posting stuff soon, and replace gonzobeer's endless daily efforts, Please.......yeaahaaawww,,,.

I Like the manacle laughter Woody.

Don't make me come over there Woody.
Licentia Haud Vestigium

YEAH! AMEN! Come on people! Speak up! Don't be intimited just because I have like..... over 1900 points or something! We all started SOMEWHERE! =)

As I near 700, bash' is at 1900? I give up..

I'm approaching the 400...nit nearly as impressive. But I'm kicking Canadian butt.(really that's the only bragging right I have).

Erm, this post takes me up to 16 points.... any chance of me ever catching up with badash?.... I guess only if I start posting my comments letter by letter.... but that would be stupid!
As for bringing the belittlement - not too sure I'm qualified for that just yet!

However, Woodchuck does sometimes make an easy target of himself with his 'dubious-fashion' photo's ;)

"Gravity doesn't ever forget itself or go temporarily off duty" - R. Macfarlane, 2003.

Well that only helps others gain points as they ridicule me. I get nothing for their posts. And I'm mostly into photos, not writing long blogs about me each day. Even my blog questions get laughed at, if you read today's new one you'll see what I'm talking about.

I think we all know about dubious fashion photos.
Licentia Haud Vestigium

wait so do i have the highest points? what about ana?

I thought we already established that Ash, you tydye wearing yourclimbing.com millionaire!
Licentia Haud Vestigium

well as far as I know from my 'buddies' list and from sites and photos I check, I see none above Ash's totals. Did I miss Ana somewhere on the site?

OK, this will offer the final word. Here's a hidden page that ranks everyone by the mysterious "points" the system awards for posts to YourClimbing:

http://www.yourclimbing.com/userpoints

You can discount my number, since it's mostly admin stuff that the system is recording. ... Interesting that so many of you have more points than Katie! Way to go!!

And yes, Badash is clearly Queen of YourClimbing for now. Can she keep her crown??

steve, I know I some how came into this page once, where I saw the big totals down the page. dont' know how or what link I was trying, just ended up there once.

WooHoo!!! number 5!! I need to get some ridiculous and dubious photos so I can catch up to Woody. Thanks for showing us that link Steve, as if we weren't competetive enough.
Licentia Haud Vestigium

You're only #5 GB because I was gone for a week! Don't worry...I'll catsup! GET IT?!! CATSUP!!!! Ahahahaha!

well I know I saw the exact page once before when I was waaaay down the list. So I'm like in top 3 or 4 now. WhooHooo!! a comfy 200 point lead over my next competitor. At this pace, if we send BadAsh off to the LOST' island for 2 years, I might catch up.

sweet....... i bet i could not post for 2 weeks and still be in the lead...... maybe. But im not going to try, so dont get your hopes up! =)

Ash, if you didnt post for 2 weeks we would all be out looking for your body at Tennessee climbing areas. Keep us entertained and outscored as much as you can please.

meanwhile, a note here to Steve: What consists of a 'post'.? I've been stuck on the same number for weeks, yet gain points for whatever gains them. Observed someone with a third as many points has nearly equal amount of 'posts'. Hey, I'm not trying to make a score, just wondered what defines as what. thanks.

WC

hahahha. thats funny. BUT, i've been climbing in SOILL alot lately - so you'll have to go all around the southeast ----> i would first check SoILL (the holy boulders and jackson falls) and then go down to Fosters, LRC, Rocktown and maybe HP40) ...just in case!!! =)

OK. Everybody read and save this, just in case we must form regional SAR teams to send out to all compass directions in search of 'Ash some day. GPS coordinates to be posted soon for better response.
Ash, you rock on girl.

I'm seventh woohoo. I think we should have a country rank too that way some of our other Nations who don't have Badashes can show their pride (and I'm faring OK with the americans).

that made me laugh, bex.

and after i just posted that last comment i realized that this is my 2005 comment.... dang!

dang, I'm over a millennium and 2 centuries behind badly'ashed'.

Now I'm really depressed, I was in third place about a month ago. Oh well, I guess when you actually climb instead of just talking about it, you lose points. And yes, we would go looking for BA if she didn't post for two weeks.
Cheers!

Spoil Sport CW. Hey I climbed this week (okay it was indoor again becuasee we had a snow storma agin..but I climbed).

Hey Bex. I almost climbed this week too. In between the rain storms and snow, I managed to sneak out and bolt 3 new plastic holds in place on my wall out back. That was it. At least I touched the holds, if not actually climb on them. It was close to climbing, wasn't it?

Close enough in books Woody. I won't be moving for a few more weeks my project hit a snag. My parents are allowing me to build a free standing wall in their yard. My parents rock.
