So I'm sitting in A BUS TOP in East Conundrum waiting on a train.
Mr. Jimmy sees me, recognizes me, then he comes up to me,
then he says to me, like nearly always, "Let's go have a campari and soda."
And so we walk into the bar there in the bus station. And surprise, surprise, Roseanne Barr's blocking our way into the bar.
She's so wide we couldn't get around and the doorway's so narrow she couldn't either. So we backed out and she came out, a glass of wine in her hand.
She looked at Jimmy and he said, "You can't always get what you want."
And she said back, "I'm the new Bulgemelon pin-up girl.
That's all I frickin' needed. Thanks, Russ, you bottom-feeder."
I took out my dirty red bandana and blew a few notes into it and silently chuckled a bar of Malaguena.
And then she was all mine, thanks to Keith Richards.

I saw Mouse at a grocery store in Merced yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a d#@&%e and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

How many "Joes" do you actually know? You probably know very few, while going heavy on the Kierans, the Joels, and the Throw Pie In Daddy's Faces.
Then there are the insufferables: the Borgs and Bases. Lucky to get jobs in the first places. Yes, there CAN be more than one first place.

BTW, infetterance is found in that dictionary I wasted with the Desert Eagle. You've spelt it wrongly.

Take a Message To Millis
Take all your worries and put 'em in an old haul bag. Don't forget to smile when you do.
Take the pig, even heavy as it is, to the top deck of the Golden Gate bridge.
There, on the seaward side, by the south tower, lift the bag up over your head and say three times, "You're sh#t, I don't want you."
Then toss it off and run like hell to the south and then go to Chinatown and have some noodles.
I'll meet you at the Jap Tea House in the Park, three sharp.
"The monkey is in the lotus" is my line. "There are no monkeys in the lotus" is yours.
If the Japanese Tea House is defunct, meet me at the nearest STARBUCKS.

One way to cut down on bandwidth hogging
I quit Counting Joes at four since that's more than a few, though one has actually died. Five, but he has passed on too. Both of the Dead Joes drove Fords when I knew them best.
The last Joe to die was driving a great big Mercedes the last time I saw him. He wasn't supposed to be driving at all since, like Ted, he had a malignant brain tumor.
Grew up in Otay. He made more money in the biz than those 1977 Airplane guys ever dreamed of. Never busted. Never even shot like Leon.
This one seems to have some glitches in it- trying to figger out why

I think that this says we do not slow down as fast as I thought.
Someone we both know, says you're a good man, man
You are not nowhere at all , if you know what I'm saying

you are welcome to ask an intelligent question, but as I pointed out gfyrs
there are miles of ridge, there are climbs of all grades, as good as the Gunks, better if you don't need to follow a chalk trail
Man up bohy, ask for some beta or sack up and go have a look

If you were not so mean I would have considered it. Babysitters are expensive, and I have a budget.
That is why when I get out, I go to the Gunks.

well, what are you looking to get on, do you have a list?
Hoy poloily hit the posting limit
Yes,
however, there is a PDF guide too,
that picture already posted, If you expand it,
shows the best climbing.
the climbing in the picture below is on the far left -the very edge of the picture-
It is easy to reach From the top.
October Hill Road
If you go, you will find good climbs,
Or go find KenR's piles in the woods they are all good to
This is the base of Stress Test, can be 5.7-8 r or 5.4 g, the exit is at the center right of the picture,
/The top croner obscured by trees.
Not the obvious tree past the blocky corner,To the left of the thin white face in the center of the pic.
It follows easy 5.4 climbing with good gear to a deep inside corner that you sem up, there can be rope drag if you sow it up,
it is easy once you've done it. So you can go back down and extend all the placements (or back clean)
The exit move is guarded by a pine tree that has a limb that hangs out over the edge, sling the branchConfidence inspiring
Ain't it?
mantel up to the top, with snow / ice it will be the crux but once you have a tight girth hitch on the limb, its a top rope. (5.8)i
the old post now stripped explained this could be called "Center Stage"
It is the most visible face as seen from the parking lot of the old ski hill
Ok, ( The peanut gallery is all assembled, I see)I'm not good at this
The Green Line to the red exit is Stress Test, 5.7g.
The Green line exit has a 5.8r crux, turning the corner on to the face at the pointed flake (just below the G-line).
The red line, No Stone Left Unturned 5.4+/5.5pg
The center Blue line without the white escape; No Turn Left Unstoned; 5.8r(not Followed , Unrepeated)
The Red/blue line on the right, crossing back left, following the white 'escape' is; 2 Stoned go left'
this a locator picture, "Stress Test" is the area to the right of the 1st white flag on the bottom left : marked- "Frisbbe?"
Absolutely No Climbing:(? Clambering maybe:)
But ask & you will be told it is "illegal"
KenR's sub-Missions, "Cranberry Hollow" are full of rock that is waiting for "bold er" 1st ascents,
Short climbs need to have lots of gear to keep ground falls at bay... yuk-yuk-yuk...
