"Miller tastes too good, to hurry through..."
I'm just sayin' there's a growing list of list of stuff, beyond Lucille, to sink your teeth into. After you do that, one.

After Lucille you must have lost whatever brain cells there were to begin with, so you can do the whole Road to Lucille in reverse and every time it's like the first time.
Or maybe if you climb too many upside down wide things, you fully realize the metaphysical longing and become a bat?

I don't know you eeyonkee,I just hang out at ST and spew when work gets ugly.
I do like to climb wide stuff, but I don't see my road going much further than Twilight Zone or Cream.
Edit: Mental note to self, careful that dry humor isn't fully dehydrated by writing... I was using "you" in the general sense of "one" (as in anyone who reaches the level of wide enlightenment to climb Lucille), but it does sound like what I wrote was an attack. I didn't mean it that way, sorry if that's how it came out.

Grug, I think a thorough comparison of VegeMite and MarMite would be
beneficial. A case of each would allow many replications of double-blind
testing and lead to determination of ideal dosages.

I like that Scuffy...it's scientific.
Nutjob - I wasn't at all inferring that you were dissing me. I was just TRYING to be funny. I'm not nearly as good as, say, Fish.

Pregnant idea scuffy b. I think it's about time we with the advanced minds conduct us some scienific experiments. Does anyone have any hypothesis? I'm thinkin that for one we'll find that Vegamite makes one surly. Did you see the way Grug snapped at the always well meaning Nutjob and then after the Vegamite wore off backpedaled and coughed up that half baked lame excuse? Further!!!

"Does anyone have any hypothesis?"
This may be exactly what he is looking for.
From a very scientific source:
[quote]
The placebo effect, also known as non-specific effects and the subject-expectancy effect, is the phenomenon that a patient's symptoms can be alleviated by an otherwise ineffective treatment, since the individual expects or believes that it will work.
[end quote]
I am also told by a usually reliable source that there is a double placebo effect in which you give the subject a placebo, tell them that it is a placebo, and they still benefit from it.
Sounds like we already have a perfectly adequate experimental group of 1; a positive-minded, right-thinking, go-anywhere type.
But MarMite???
As a kid visiting a friend's home, that stuff spread on toast and handed to innocent me turned me into a bitter cynic distrustful of all adults.

Well then, you must be a VegeMite fan, correct?
I suspect that the real reason no Australian has climbed Lucille is that
there are two kinds of Australian: VegeMite eaters and MarMite eaters.
Nobody, up until Eeyonkee's revolutionary 2011 training regimen, has
rigorously combined the two in a conscientiously applied program of regular
professional care---hold on, I got my cliches conflated--
I mean, when Eeyonkee goes on a program of eating both Vegemite and Marmite
sandwiches, with sufficient visualization of tops of pullup bars and
bursting finish-line tapes, he will CRUSH.

I dunno, "imagine all the cells of your body exploding at the speed of light!"
It's dangerous stuff, crossing the streams!
Tell him about the twinkie, Egon.

This Saturday is no good for me, I have to meet up with
a ski bunny in Minturn, besides it's suppose to snow
and I would like to keep up my reputation as a
fairweather climber.
How about the next Saturday, April 2?

Sheesh, Vegemite isn't all that cheap either. I'm thinking that if, in the end, I can't do Lucille, it will likely be because I can't afford my training regimen.
