slightly OT, since this was on rappel:
"Should I have untied the stopper knot before I pulled the rope?"

How about, when you're halfway up a thin pitch, maybe just pulled a roof move and yet the crux is still above, something like "You know, there's something between us that's reeeally bothered me all these years. I never said anything before, but it's been festering inside and I just can't hold it in any more......"

"Hold on a sec."

Joe, remember doing The Hermit, hanging there with Steve B and one of the three nuts fell out from the anchor while I was leading off? Hey, Ed, uh...

Walking the cliff line at a sport area we came across a woman about 40ft up standing an a very small ledge tied into a top-rope with no one belaying her - the belay end was just laying on the ground. We asked her what she was doing. She said "The rope jammed on top so my boyfriend went up to see if he could free it."
Time for a new boyfriend?

That sounds like a pretty effective way to leave your girlfriend... instead of unjamming the rope, just hop in the car and head home.

Don't worry about me, I always keep my belay hand on the rope; except, of course, when I'm taking pictures.

hahaha Blinky, I thought the same..
As I was leading a virgin aid pitch in Kolob in June:
belayer-"Hey! Hey look!"
I look down slightly gripped from my tension traverse in Nikes on sandstone with a dry throat...
"crrrraaaaackkkkk" he just opened the beer as he was lying in a porta-ledge.
God I woulda traded places in a heartbeat.

"Dude! The rope is on fire!"
seriously, had to say this on El Cap when a wind gust flipped my aider up and knocked my smoke into the rope bag. A4 pitch... that was funny.
