The lighter half of today is now over.
The twi has lit.
The old twi quit.
It went to s_it
on the bench
and watch the Warriors.
The new twi is on a self-timer.
"How many RPY does that planet have, dude?"
"365, with the standard 366.25 RPD."
"Stock, huh?"
"Original parts, too."

More priceless sh#t. *
Just another hapless loser like the rest of us swirling in the toilet of life,
using panic strokes to avoid the brown bombs,
and for some yet undertermined reason, trying to stay afloat.
--Cornelius Fish quote
http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=838286&msg=838286#msg838286
Twelve years later the same truth is even more profoundly self-evident.
The Toilet Bowl awaits while it fills up with turds.
The same blamed debates fill us up with words.
--MFM, aka BJB quote
Like "undertermined."
"He may have a bad, in fact awful comb-over, but he's too undertimed, I mean undertermined, to be an deffective president. And that's the awful truth."
"Yeah, if only that hair didn't suck so bad, I'd be votin' for him."
No we don't do politicks down at the courthouse,
And Oscar Meyer's still preferred by two of three.

"Damn it! I love choss..... Actually I am half made of choss."--Plaidman the drillionaire
What's not to love about Plaidman?
Plaidman giving of himself at Facelift.
"Plaidman is as cragnostic as they come."--overheard in the Camp 4 loo
I think it may have been Dr. Piton in that stall, but I was pretty buzzed.
The good doc and his pharmacy.
A cragnostic is one who sees a line but believes it is impossible, so he becomes a drillionaire.
(Critics: I'm only using Plaidman as an example, not pointing a finger, so bite me.)
With thanks to Mr. & Mrs. E, leading lights of Bishop's intelligetnsia for their contribution to this post.

I had sweet sleep, from 10 to 4;24, sweet dreams mixed in, I'm sure, I can't remember.
I do recall a surviving bit of dream
From a trough or troff, truth is the thing a pig eats from ? I got it ?!
Dough though I try I can't spelleth, trough troths!!
You know that I'm holding back a bunch of gems,
. . .Opportunity, Im gonna check it out , if I wanna divorce. Step one to climbing in the far flung lost granites of Nevada,?
It would be
If I were to drag the black Muck Scupper Above, back home
and let the kids see yes seize it ,both.
They would love to go for real frogging' & fishing, the wife ? as I say,
She would put me out.[A glich sent me . . . . past back to . . . just lost the dream sequence?
it was about the days of showing various climbers a climb
that no one wanted to try
no one evan wanted to aide the thing.
I wanted a belay on it in trade for time on their project.
there was sixty feet of easy 5.8
that j s , eventually sent more direct but has a solid 5.?
That is 3rd class ledges to the top of a broad pedestal where the clmbing starts,
to the task,
I would add that I do not think more than three of worked it free.
2 or 3 others, Might have tried this,
But here in the outback the thing was to , build a anchor and leave one pin
they had left gear, as points of aid,
great exposure maximizing hanging belays
as well as proof of passage.
(but none was found )
The re-directed climbs under are both very good as pseudo -sport,
preset at least to protect from ground fall.
The third sequence, that is shared in some way that blunt end
are only protectable from above.
. ( obviously only be carful of loose rock )
below the large roof in the left corner aim inning for a move to well before half way
so with double ropes
the one run to the high point then climb down
step back into other (outside of the main corner ,
Including the long ways oriented crack,
Running along the front side, Under the roof of 'Starting In The Middle',
Jim gave it that name. . . J S unlocked the sequence.( FA credit )
[D L, & I, Crackd' the lip but no more. . .
now it is a very long walk past -Sinus- to get there
Not near that great winter sojourn, not even close.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!
( there is gold in them there hills, if you know where to look )
Sorry, all. . .
It is the old Gunks way. To not spray while spraying

Don't, Stop
I've got to write something
With words that will flow
In one ear out the other
Helps the garden grow
Drooling in the meantime
Takes all my focus
To be a success
Requires more mucus
There's no prize for my entry
In the diaper contest
I'm contracting my sphincter
Delaying the process
Well that's all I guess
To your visible relief
You're now shaking your head
And glad that was brief
Wait there's more
Now I'm kidding...

Gnome, that's a POS death boat.
Yer kids'll die in it or it's gonna sit around in the yard and get funkier, so listen to the wife.
We used this old thing in a slough of the Trinity and the frogs were terrorized by night and hid by day.
We musta killed five or six.
We used their fur to line our mittens.
Nana burned the frog legs, so she fed us on escargot and pancakes made with Krusteaz. She'd been in her cups all day, so she had some sorta excuse.
You HAVE heard the phrase, 'finer than frog hair,' right?
What happens in Greeley Hill can happen in CT.You don't wanna end up with a POS sitting in the yard, and neither does the li'l woman.

Don't use crumb rubber to fall or fall asleep on.
"Crumb rubber" — the particles of shredded tires that cushion the turf like simulated dirt — has been called a health hazard by critics. They point to testing that has found the material to contain a range of harmful substances such as lead and mercury.
a Yale University study that found a dozen carcinogenic chemicals in the material.
Alderman said the rubber breaks down over time, producing dust that can be inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through cuts and scrapes. Though the effects on human health remain unclear, Alderman and other critics point to a list, compiled by University of Washington women's soccer coach Amy Griffin, of 220 athletes who said they were stricken with cancer after long periods of practicing and playing on synthetic turf.

Folks back east use coal ashes to spread over their basketball courts in winter.
"Go and wash those hands before you sit to the table, Mr. Laimbeer."
"Aw, ma..."
And the whole world is sitting on a ticking bomb, which he seemed to resemble at times.

Big Bad Bill Laimbeer was named coach of the year in 2015 as coach of the NY Liberty, 23-11 record.

Pretty lame if you ask me.
He couldn't play basketball for sheeit. He was strong though (not Luke Stong, strong), enough so that I wasn't gonna guard him no matter how thick I got.
I'd have sent in The (Real) Bull who benched out at 465. Michele not so much, but she can spread her legs as wide as Catherine Destivelle. She was a gymnast as a youth.
This isn't him, but be warned if you're gonna drop the weights, don't let them hit the crumb rubber.
Statin scarfing dude confronts real woman.

The camera keeps clicking while the schmoe takes a licking.
That's like the shot the belayer got when his leader decked.
Two words: THAT'S LAME!
And you're on the mark about Big Bill's lack of skills.
Golden State hosted Detroit in the eighties one time?
And Jim Shirley got some tickets?
And we were going into the wilds of the Clark Range that night after the game?
And Isaiah Thomas wasn't able to start? (Flu? Ennui? Lame?)
And Big Bad Bill tried all the dirty tricks (many of them, at any rate) he knew on the Warriors?
And it worked because Detroit won by a small margin.
We had something to talk about on the drive to Yosemite that night.
Jim is a HUGE FAN of basketball, his wife was a soccer stand-out in college.
His twin girls lettered in basketball at ST. Rose of Lima in Simi Valley, and one of them is a starter for Ventura College now.
My daughter went in for badminton. She's tall, too.
I recall the first year of her life, when Bevin grew so much it was frightening.
I had this vision, as fathers do, of what her life should be like, were I leading it.
(Hey, it's OK to think that way--we all do--until you learn better.)
She would become a professional golfer and never have to "work."
That's not how pros get to be pros. They work.
Jim pointed out Laimbeer's viciousness as a way to compensate for his clumsiness and lack of grace.
How hard did he "work" to become a pro?
Words to Big Boss Man come to me: You just tall, that's all.
He is a winning coach, however, but I think people read more into awards than we ought.
It's the team's win, and to recognize people as individuals, outside of the team, is not a good idea.
Look, if it is a team sport, why give recognition to individuals?
Follow the money. Who gets endorsement opportunities?
All-Stars and Rookies of the Year and Most Valuable Players.
And the guys voted Defender of the Poor and Homeless and Sick and Lame for their work among them
--you know, the humanitarian awardees.
Excuse me, I have to go clean up.
This tirade's left me with dribble-chin.

Trying to please the 'flying spaghetti monster' again
Praise the flying spaghetti monster
He made my day
Now I get to suffer
In a whole new way
I just put in my order
For my new pirate outfit online
This time next week
You're not gonna hear me whine
Going to suit the Sketti Monster
Just fine
Started a new diet last week
So to speak
Yesterday I put barbecue sauce on my arm
Now there's no reason for alarm
I was ready to put it on the barbecue
Last I heard that's what you do
Had a hunger buzz
What I said was...
Yesterday I rode 10 miles on my bike
Today I rode 10 miles on my bike
Feels like I was kicked by a mule last week
But only feels like a little mule kicked me still I'm weak
Well I love to ride my bike
It's what I like
Mile number one
Feels like fun
Mile number two
Don't feel blue
Mile number three
Better stretch my knee
Mile number four
I want some albacore
Mile number five
Good to be alive
And I got off and walked to stretch
Getting older can be a bitch
Mile number six
I'm out in the sticks
The 7th mile
It's going to take a while
Mile number eight
Man I got to lose some weight
Mile number nine
I don't feel so fine
Mile number 10
Hello nausea again
One more hill
Starting mile 11
I'm almost home
Feels like heaven
Flew my electric planes for an hour or so
Till my head started pounding and don't you know
Think I should've given it a rest
A pounder headache tells me what's best
Hope I didn't bore you with the story of my life
Another day of breathing is just all right
If I say it's easy
I'm not talking about strife
Just trying to get in shape
And not go under the knife
Going to ride tomorrow or the day after that
Maybe next time you see me I won't be so fat
It's hard to get embarrassed when your belly up dead
One things for certain
My face won't be red

Interestingly enough I was baptized, went to first [holy?] communion and was confirmed in the St. Rose of Lima de Chula Vista.
Real hotbed of basketball talent, eh?
Was it the diet, those little pieces of Jesus and Sangre de Cristo they fed us.
or, having queried Robert Hunter
I don't know, it must have been the roses
The roses or the ribbons in her long brown hair
I don't know maybe it was the roses
All I know was I could not leave her there
Edit:
Jesus FC. This is it?
baptized, first communioned, confirmed -> crucified, died, buried, rose from the dead.
Bless our saviour Townes van Zandt

Signage near Hwy 99. Denny's & Razzari Ford, belonging to a good Catholic family. BTW, your church ain't sasquatch if it doesn't got "of" in it's name.
Big Fan of the Niners, name of James Bryan. I'm Brian James. I will not forget that name easily. At least for now.
James practices his faith at ST. Joe's of the Mission District, when he's there. I use ta go ta Our Lady of Mercy. zBrown gots ta thank the sistahs at Rose Olema. Then others gotta pray at Church o' God, some others at Little Chapel of the Valley, Chapel of the Lilies, Sanctuary of the Purple Puppy Eaters, Temple of Doom, Chapel of the Early Morning Light, Holy Name of Jesus or Prayer Rug of Mohammed.
Sorta like having a "Van" in front of yer name. Vandiver. Van Zandt. Van Illa Ice.
