Mosto Betto, Throwpie!
I was visiting with Skip Johnson last night.
He's good. He's not Norwegian, he's Adopted.
His mom's family back in Iowa are all "Weejes," he informed me.
Nice project, dudes.
Speaking of projects ~

Isn't that damn shasta project the one that was supposed to end up with the faces of MFM, Donini, Crimpie & Pat Ament carved in the rock.
Good work T-Pie. In the rather immortal (could be mistaken, may be immoral) words of MFM - do it run?
Dadoorunrun.
Fonzie said that.

High-Tech Survey Exposes Hidden Stonehenge (at Shasta Dam site).
... using ground-penetrating radar, high-resolution magnetometers and other techniques to peer deep into the soil ...
The project produced detailed maps of 17 previously unknown ritual monuments and a huge timber building, which is thought to have been used for burial ceremonies ...
The building appears to hold remnants of Italian motorcycle ...
Some images bear striking resemblence to MFM, Donini, Crimpie, Pat Ament ...
Who's Next?

"Play 'Shibboleth' for me, Pilgrim."
Gilead then cut Ephraim off from the fords of the Jordan, and whenever Ephraimite fugitives said, 'Let me cross,' the men of Gilead would ask, 'Are you an Ephraimite?' If he said, 'No,' they then said, 'Very well, say "Shibboleth" (שבלת).' If anyone said, "Sibboleth" (סבלת), because he could not pronounce it, then they would seize him and kill him by the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed on this occasion.
—Judges 12:5–6, NJB

Corn, ears of grain, shibboleths.

"shay there hey, weej, say, 'shay sandy for me, shibboleth.'"
ur a bad role model but a bad-ash climber.
it's friday and i love u still.
i'm glad as freakin' hell u don't drink tequila.
it'd surely kill me.
oops, wrong thread.
WTF.
sorry about the upper case.
i'm getiin' hammered, i guess.
weej, i knew u were up.
i smelled coffee-flavored beer.
waywords carefully and u can't get ur point across so dramatically, or somethin'.
my point is udually so pointless it's pointless to try explaining anything.
which may explain a lot.

here comes the s.o.b. now!
and he looks like breakfast.it's a weird egg, grown using the organic dregs of "tea" grown in the moke wildness by small people who call themselves trollies.
they claim kinship with terries and firmies.
they love this song by creamy, the group from the british aisles.
[Click to View YouTube Video]moke water's great for brewin' either coffee or "tea" or "other."

Smoke Hole Canyon West Virginia (had to type that last word twice);o
I thought it was a joke,
it was not
'Ronin'.Michael Gray ,self published his years of fine scratchings,
it all makes me look kinda like a 'tard as I think about letting out a big fart
of my non
accomplish ments in some sort of guide book,
I do not Believe in guidebooks, per say,
look up the rock and try what you see.
,If you can't find it, what makes you think you can climb it ?
but some ones gonna do it(a guidebook) and I climbed all that choss first.
Sorry about that Mr Merced, Sir Mouse, No disrespect meant, the morning Bourbon Whiskey was speaking,
I was not thinking that happens to me
and now after noon I am so sorrreeeeeeey

u'd be wiser to guess, not knowing.
lou reed's advice, certainly.
the firmies loved the velvet underground.
the terries taught them how to climb, but they just went on splunkin', too stoned to move.
jebus, i love u, man! u get to go out & climb & sh!t & i'm stuck in the next thing to lodi.
but i had my day & i'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run.
enjoy urs, tacoans.

More cool Bridges.[Click to View YouTube Video]WTF?
I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the staff of YCA/Reservations...It seems you've passed over my request.
One week left, plans and people coming together, and I STILL have no clue.
I've emailed several times, Mo.
So TODAY, an apparently automatic reply comes with a "NO, you have no reservation, essentially."
I have a mind to give up living and go drinking instead.
Pass the Thunderbird.
