neebee, I can't give a ratio of broken cookies to unbroken ones. I don't know how many you sent. There were like five busted up. Thanks a million. They are all et. YUM!
zBrown, my scientific friend, you're out of luck. I wanted the data, I guess it doesn't matter. The cookies have crumbled in my mouth.
They were
neebeesco cookies!!!!!!!
And some more of the mice, in fact, all the mice, pretty much, are acting up.
Gene took off for the wild blue.Audrey, Muppet, and Ilollo, too.

I have one important thing to present, the final paragraph of a letter included in a Christmas card from Larry Jones, the old Flame and it may be you recall his recurring mention here.
be that as it may, he's a dear old pal, just as nice a guy as they make, like all my friends, and he lost his wife Barb this summer just after I had visited, like the day after. It was shocking, and her mom was living there but Barb's brother and his wife are on the ball. She's moved to Washington, so he's by himself with his two poodles, Mr. Darcy and Miss Sophie.
His letter ended this way:
In closing, I would like to say that I have realized several important things this year. First, love is like an iceberg and has deep hidden dimensions. Second, tell people you love them as often as you can while you still can. Finally, think deeply about what the people in your life mean to you and work to resolve issues that separate you. Life is short, make good use of the time you have. I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and a joyous new year. Love to all, scribble/scrawl of another someday-to-be-famous painter/sculptor/lover

I'll tell the Jokes.
We used to call Larry by a multitude of different nicknames. Jokes from Jones. Hodad, well, that was not likely. Larry was the first one of us to grow long hair. Scuz, that was his normal, everyday handle. Moab, for golly sakes, was one that crept in from the desert, I guess. I was not around when he was anointed that.
LarryMarcusHodadScuzMoab Jokes-Jones. Has a familiar look to it.
It were Larry got the other half of that first hit of White Lightning acid I tooken in '68. His jaw drooped ALL OF HALFWAY DOWN HIS CHEST before I realized that the cake in my hand was tota-lotally crushed by my fist in a frenzy of feeling the texture of icing and goo as I walked out into the sunlight of the New Year, 1969, the Year of Altamont. That was my first hallucination. It's Mouse, a New Age Guy, a Man of Division, a Farce to be Reckoned a Crackpot. But a free man, because six months later I was out of the Nav and on my way to becoming y'all's FRERE GRIMPEUR.
Hickory, dickory, Dr. F,
Helter, skelter, Dr. Leary.
Washy, washy, Dr. Bronner.
First yer straight, then yer hair grows, then yer a dirtbag, but dirtbags, of all people, have friends. That's one of its prime benefits, besides the Climbing Grant.
Who is Climbing Grant?
A good subject for another poem, that's what.
Hey, Tony! Is Dingus awake yet? I wanted to ask him if he ever got to be a drifter, a dirtbag, a climbing BUM.
Curiosity kept the mouse from the same fate as the cat. Odd fact, but true. GET IT? Or have you no clue, too? Why that is, I'm not very curious. I'm more than willing to accept it. Mice don't have nine lives to just throw away, see? And nobody leaves anything out for us on purpose, so we need to go raiding. And night time is the right time to seek the things you love.
Mojo Cliff Bars are OUT OF THIS WORD!
Mojority Rules.
Bring back the codpiece and use it like a chalk bag between your legs.
Frodo lives.

Seriously, I think I might want to commit visual suicide over the holidays.
Take a beebee gun and blow my airhead out, just as the shutter clicks. What's the worst that can happen if I don't kick the bucket, shoot my eye out?
Or I could go see ANCHORMAN II: The Adventure Continues. Right, like I want to pay to see drivel when it abounds hereabouts?

But it does look like FUN, and there is a road trip, like the climbing lifestyle dirtbuggers live, seeking employment while seeking enjoyment is hard and all the guys on the road this Christmas to go climbing, and there are tons of you, have FUN sitting in the tent out of the 30-knot wind, remember to put your toothbrush where you can find it, and keep your water in you sleeping bag.
I might die laughing if I go see this movie cuz, as the trailer indicates here, we are all gonna die. I'll wait to view it online later when I can die in my reclimber chair and not cause a public fuss. And I won't have to pay ten bucks.
I'm kidding. Far from being depressed, this is shaping up to be one of the nicest Christmases ever for me. I blame it on supertopo.
One good thing about films like this is that for a bit we feel smarter than someone else and that can only build self-esteem. Over-the-top comics like these guys and STeve Martin and NOT Drew Carey for the holidays, Fockers!

MERRY CHOSSMAS! HIGH NEW YEAR!
Heard you went and had yourself a bouldering date with Nova Ember.
EssTeeEffPeeU.
"S-T-F-Pee-E-U, what does that spell...?"--Jimmy, again
I have no clue what that acronym means. "Don't never use it if you don't own it, son."--best advice that lyin' SOB ever gave me
A facsimile of the Blue Cookie Monster. The answer to the riddle, "How could I have gorged on the cookies and then been able to take pictures of them?" is not mine to reveal.
P.M. mfm with an answer. I have some of my own. Also, I'd really like to know the meaning of the acronym, as well.

There is a hook shop in Ron Anderson's neighboring adjoinery...the Pander Ranch. Are those the ladies?

I must say here and now, that the quality of ST's reproduction of our photos sucks. If anything I have noticed in the last year plus I've been posting here, that's the one which has continuously bugged the crap out of me.
I demand a refraction!

I said, "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
I said, "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
Well, I'm looking for my face
And I got no place to go
I said, "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
I said, "Oh no, doncha follow me no more"
Well, pick your own mind
And don't you touch mine no more
Still waiting here for a single idea
In your clothes and your hair, I wore it last year
Oh no, doncha follow me no more
I said, "Oh no, doncha copy me no more"
I said, "Oh no, doncha copy me no more"
Well, the lines around my eyes
Are protected by a copyright law
Well, all the clubs and the bars and the little red cars
Not knowing why, but trying to get high
Oh no, doncha follow me no more
Doncha follow, doncha follow

Oh no! Photo! No bow! Hey, doncha know that I'm the Dun Crow!
Tweet!

Carlow, didja select that based on the cat photo or based on the music? Or both?
Because either or any way, you can't be faulted.
The cat is blind, right? Is that that the gag?
Great keyboard. Tight.
Hit replay.
Ron, hit replay, get it?

On a sporting note this aft.
'
Based on the Don Lauria thread about the EB and 'the shot taken by everyone who's ever done the route'
Another Blind Mice Productions "treatment" of an "idea" based on a "internet thread"
The Angling Lesson
The bait is set before the fish in a completely natural way.
Don (hesitantly): Maybe I'll dig 'em out and post them here.
The wily trout respondeth in a fashion true unto their nature.
Clint (not coyly):You could shoot them with a digital camera - not quite a nice as a scan but could be very good.
Tim's still in business, but lowsass water is not to his liking or financial benefit.
