In order to load the faces in rock , a near art piece I feel I just deleted two hundred plus pictures like those that you have just posted,
Seems I have to move some thing back here
To ,and too and soon two place will I have screamed
the head of the creature from the black lagoon?



that we have to thank for the ultimate challenge
the that most leads to the
Realization of the highest level of achievement of the human machine,
Brains, Braun and . . .Guts. . .used in the process that achieves and does no thing except in the mind, and in my mind it makes the mind clear attaining. . . ????
Oops got go to mind or meditation
that word, that last word guts is weak sauce, a better word is stolen French I think?
Verve, also what to call the Crusher Zone, a ready to send confidence, built from ability and success. Some climbers go thirty years like that, someone here is pushing fifty five years
55 years! that is a long time - big time!

Clip it ! If you can climb it in a better style, up your game and do so, but keep the Statius quoe,
Keep the definitions Remember the History, strive to climb in a way that feels right,
stay alive
I do not think that to re-define the rules every time the levels plateau is good form
But that has happened before in climbing

Clip it please think that back in the day is now for you if you live to tell about it you win if that is what you want.

 the real tangible energy that some climbers are charged with.they vibrate,
It can be disquieting to see a top wrung climber at a meet and greet in a stagnant room,
But the comfort level of everyone is changed by the surroundings

GOTTA GIVE YOU A KNUCKLE-BUMP ON THAT TRADITION BS!!!!
For that's what it is, was, and should oughta will be.

Some sporty types will shake their heads and turn up their ears.
But they'll have no satisfied mind without confronting their fears.

They are canon fodder. The baddest climbers at the venues have days they wish they had been elsewhere.

It's what the high places are for: the relaxing, the forgetting, the air purity, the light purity, and the purity of the soul.

The gym should be nothing more than preparation for the REAL CLIMBING.

The choices are limited for names;
but the obvious name is:
"ASS-LICKER."*

Or "BUTT-SUCKER."

The second will look better here.

No, wait. Keep the belayer out of this.

No, wait some more. There is no belayer.

But there are some "layers" to any tail or tale or trail.

He's so stupid. He has wings and needs no belay...

Yeah, now that you mention it, I see the resemblance.

Credit for this one goes out to Stu Mead (aka Stew Meat?)

Neither Kafka nor Crumb were involved in this enterprise and no machine or women damaged during.

Thankfully it's not electric (no shoes or even flip flops). How fly is that?

"Melon-head!"--Moe Howard often used this Term of Endearment

http://uproxx.com/sports/2012/09/sports-on-tv-the-three-stooges-15-greatest-sports-moments/#page/1

Bedlam in Paradise
1955

In Heaven, Shemp is confronted at the Gates by the Devil and his temptress Helen Blazes (Sylvia Lewis). Angel Uncle Mortimer (Moe Howard, in a dual role) tells Shemp that he can redeem himself if he reforms Moe & Larry.

The two remaining Stooges plan to use the money Shemp left them to sell a phony fountain pen invention ("It writes under whip cream!"), thanks to the Devil's advice.

After haunting Moe and Larry and foiling their plan ("That beats the Devil!"), Shemp awakes and realizes it was all a dream, and set his bed on fire with a cigarette.

He then manages to get to sleep but dreams about a mad farm-woman with a very sharp carving knife! And the Stooges' theme song is born.

Did you folks know
Back in old Xochimilco,
The Aztecs used to hoe
Their gardens floating on HzO?

They called them chinampas.
They grew most everything on these mats of stuff, even chi-chi beans.

"It's diversionary to keep people from talking about their real interests."
--Gore Vidal

This writer ran for the House in the same year that JFK won the presidency.

But he couldn't run for the Senate because of the huge expenses.

He's always been one of my favorite writers, even though he was prone to support whackos like Timothy McVeigh in his very last years.

The video is diverting, but not diversionary.[Click to View YouTube Video]

I'm trying to locate a book of essays, Reflections on a Sinking Ship.

I read in another of his books of his father's witnessing of the sinking of the Lusitania, a solitary century ago.

[....- ....- -----] posts already. That's a lot in less than a month.

Just think, if we had to do this in Morse code it would be a lot more challenging. Be glad we don't. I never learned anything but the numbers. I learned the numbers "by the numbers" in Boy Scouts. My merit badge never came...

I did not feel too badly, however. I looked at Herb Caen's column daily starting in .---- ----. -.... ----- , when the family moved here from Sacratomato. If he could make a name for himself with the number ...-- , and his "three-dot journalism," then I should be able to do likewise, was how I thought, maybe, but I've never thought of it till now. But I got stuck with the number ----. , unfortunately, due to the peach cannery influenza of ----- ----. -.... ---.. .

I've won'-der-ed about the Light Brigade for several years, ever since the days of Alfalfa.

The charge was made by the Light Brigade of the British cavalry,
which consisted of the 4th and 13th Light Dragoons, 17th Lancers,
and the 8th and 11th Hussars, under the command of
Major General James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan (not shown).

Cardigan Girls, not Cinnamon Girls.Miss Shot.
Lady Shell.

[Click to View YouTube Video]A historical fact: The horse'-ed horde respected their mounts so much that they were fed mostly on alfalfa hay.

Wonder blunder hundred thundered...
a simple poem, but one of the most famous of its time, and of the .---- ----. th century, as well.

And it's a beginner's poem, really, easily dashed off in a few days time by Alfred "Lord of the Words" Tennyson, (or .---- ----- nyson, in Morse), to immortalize the GLORY of this "criminal Crimean catastrophe."

I can't help but to wonder why the Light Saber Brigade fail'-ed to show that day.
