No drills or bolts or any of that stuff
Just a tube and hammer
Though he died in 1997, Van Zandt appears frequently on camera, at one point recounting the time he fell asleep with a tube of glue in his mouth (not even snoring could interrupt his huffing habit). When he awoke, his teeth were cemented shut, and most of them had to be shattered by a ballpeen hammer.

,?????I had gone on a-nought never having heard that about his, huffing , his teeth, i wasnt sure that ignew if he were deceased.
that and some thing else ? yet to remember that it went away made me paranoid. .
Ive got this on in the background, IT opens with this amazing Smokin' The Music Never Stopped, I have no Idea, what Is that?
try again or? listen to this while it lasts
[Click to View YouTube Video]
the show was the nigh before "Santacon"", The bar crawl, where everyone has at least a hat. . & a brown paper bag.
I took my family for a train ride into NYC, something they have never done. So there are fourteen stops of 20-somthings dressed in full out santa gear, most carrying paper bags. hundreds gather in the Big city, but many get an early start dont drive and sing, increasingly, loudly as their numbers and inebriation expand exponentially by station.
, ;
so its a pretty uproarious time but not for takin' pics, seemed un-cool, the kids took to there mothers side abd acte as if they'd seen, , ,PN,,bad tattoo . any way we were passing right by the Capitol, Port Chester Ny, so the wife saw how easy and the place still has $45 tickets in advance & $70 day of, Anything under $100 is a deal; lookin'into New Years?.
Any way we saw the forecast and the driving into & in the city gets narly, when it snows. . .
some thing called The Sawmill River Parkway, which leads to any Hudson river crossing, where the wait can be figured as compared to the length of the wait /time per $s per minute stuff. . .
pay'n the toll,
then bumper to tailpipe NYC driving , scaring the wife to tears's, scarring the chil'ren, no doubt, So we took the Train.
On DRuNkEN Santa night , , Hic-Up, (muszn'tengagewitdwickhed, he had addedthat stoopid' picture, but any content thats climbing so hey! yeah yhnx )
the best worst was the gang sing just a few verse, of ribald nature
or
Guys]HO HO HO Hey, Santa? will you be my girl?
Girls]-Ho Ho Ho- Wait aminute santa - Its not mistletoe-toe- Tou bad Santa, No I won't Be your girl.
Then they would turn to each other and back at one another saying OU she / he 's Fat He Ugly
No I want to find a different Santa Now!
It was as good a 1st act to a show night to live in family infamy for ever.
Think of the chil'ren Oh the Humanity
Grand Central to the Broadway, The Lyceum, Posh, cant seem to be able to find any music history
a know!
more content is always nice to see!
have a Merry Christmas

I believe that you can like someone despite their actions.
But just because you like someone, doesn't mean you don't hate their actions
or the ripples that spread out from that action.
My take, based upon the tribe that I climb with is as follows:
Climb pure, bail dirty.
On the way up do everything you can to follow the rules the rock or the FA party places in front of you.
If it's too much then get out of there.
Never drill dirty to go up (unless it's become safer to "bail up")
drill dirty to go down IF you must.
Don't F it up for other people.
The biggest problem is that people become so focused that their
blinders prevent them from seeing the rippling effects of their
behavior.
I've seen members of one crew or the next who used to be all about -`hand drilling and that ethic` - fall to the wayside
and (start to [sic]) power drill from ladders. Weak.
The reality is that whenever Erik pushes the idea that his behavior is acceptable, it becomes harder for other valley locals to justify the pain and suffering that comes from following the rules.
To paraphrase Kerry,
"How do you ask a man to be the last man to hand-drill if everyone else SEEMS to be power drilling?
Actions require consequences but not all hills are worth dying upon.
Sometimes the dustup isn't worth the ethics and sometime the person isn't worth the effort;
we each individually get to make our decisions.
I've decided that in the end, there isn't a whole lot that's going to stop the current state of the average climber's attitude and behavior in the Valley.
After all, I'm hardly an angel.
The problem is that "others" might list their "take" on the Valley as
Access is more important than adventure.
Comfort is more important than being prepared.
Climbing should appeal to the lowest common denominator of the masses.
To each their own and fight every "each" that one can stomach.
On every point with a nod to the change of the order, (see spew below)
Absolutely Agree with you 100 % & a sad irony in the 'foil' this has to our current political nihilist, anarchy that, like wootbitch'z game, is perpetrated on society by an oligarch-leaning totalitarian.
I might have put that In exactly the opposite order,
Starting By saying Its is, all about feeling good,
This is serious fun
Not only that,but if you are not having fun suffering,
Your not doing it right
Right,
cheating is not right, its losing,
"getting it done" - Anyway that you can"
Not if that equals ef-ing it up. for others
or if needing more help than available, have a relativistic grasp of the situation, know your limitations ,
turn down the volume
so you can hear the way to go, and when to go back down.
try hard to live up to;
"Don't call for a rescue"- but do if. . .(I know, Pride comes before the fall)
Extra gear, added in poor style against local concerns?
Let that BS, Be.
Never fight, about it,take it in stride as change is the only constant
why/ when the stupid is/seems to be a race to mediocrity,
Shjt happens
Entropy and concern for the safety of the lowest common denominator,
1st
I am not going to say or do anything that might lead to more regulation,
but
I hate that one person can raise a flag that does not represent the overwhelming feelings of the majority of the active participants.
I fear that any involvement of parties that might exert trade-offs of additional regulation limited / paid access, . .
And, also
added bail stations? let them try to save themselves. . . . more booty - haraugh !- , wall pirate!(oow,lckin' biners, luz) ;0D
Then too,
Im no angel and would never preach to any member of the tribe, who, in tilting at the useless, finds bliss, who In slings or cordless climbs on rocks. It is one of my rules along with Don't #@-up or *\\%3-uP the place, all vying with stay alive .
So I have not been able to pass this down and am glad to Have prompted one of the most important responses, and the very reason, to support an open forum where thread drift, even on specific threads is so important, If only we could force feed them this fruit.
THNX , Kevin.

Wait a minute, is that about the real 1st up the drool in the OP?
I'm not looking for validation, or a publishing job, Adhering to the conventions of common punctuation ignores the contributions of some of my favorite writers who I do not try to emulate but it often appears as if i do
periods, commas, (4?) and a slash or bar gap too
