Proud sponsors of the Over The Line Tournament for God (or Fra Serra) only knows how many years.
I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed, but the big hat dude (you will not know him) is actually from CV.

Is the oxygen content high enough to cause that bright white flare?
Isn't all that orange fire cooler in temperature by Many multiples ?
I'm not even a hobby rocket guy but . . . It was LIKE the Challenger. At least in its spectacular
Pyrotechnic display.
Here's a truck accident with a puny bottle of oxygen cooking off.

The white just means it was bright enough to saturate a CCD camera.

I was on the NJ Turnpike years ago when an oxygen tanker went off in a single explosion about 5 miles in front of me. Pretty exciting even at that distance. By the time we got there the surrounding meadows were just black as the oxygen just consumed everything around.

Big head on that kid, still.
Fear of flying men's hard balls, we nine plus two, sometimes four, guys, fielded a team named that: Fear of Flying (Feral Fliers Unite and Untie Your Spikes for Jesus).
We were pretty Jonge back then, many of us budding yuppies with a respect for home-brewed beers. Doug's was consistently the best pour, the best porter, and the best free beer.
Now, every so often, Kenny the Flyer, would organize a week-end game of over-the-line at Stinson.
Never mind the rocks out there. Only Jim Shirley and I and (sometimes when wife permitted) Bruce Hamilton were climbers.
Jim usually played in these OTLs, but seldom attended the league games in Alameda and Oakland. Hamilton was the second-fastest runner behind Kenny the Flyer (fleet of foot find first first).
I was the pitcher, lobber, really. I managed nine strike-outs, can you believe it? Well, believe it or not.
It was so gray out there on the beach, hardly a tanning spot.
You'd turn blue before you tanned.

I've tried a few times and this is the most representational
Of the feel of the slot, now that fire has swept the top.
The snap is taken from just inside the real maw of this cool cave.
So lay off the harsh critique or I'll share the pictures,
taken looking down the 'hall' from inside at the top,
Don't double dare me; I'll post up what I got..
they are even more junky like 'em or not
need I explain?
This pooped up looking tube is that rare find
a tunnel that goes up 'n behind the main wall.
It is next to the penultimate lines on the wall.
All Climbs still awaiting Jay bro & who-ever of his bros want.
There is a feeling renewed confidence, and validation of climbing prowess
that would come from snatch in' these climbs, the main wall is a Plum.
Tradman? DanaB? Wivinoff? Old men of the east coast contingent
the coalition of guide book authors ?
No one
Not anyone that has posted.
Of course this is Central to everywhere and has been climbed on before me.
But not the two score, at least, and growing number of routes I've cleaned.
While some I cleaned on lead, others I sent scale & loose rock on top rope.
I want Erik Sloan to come add his name to the fun .
It Is like a staircase,taken as metaphors for life.
If Nanook wants the Spotlight this place could be the highlight !
He could continue to defile the Valley, with Clients from all over
the greater Hudson Valley ~ Small Rock Hell....
(tellin'-ya it's a nightmare of non climbing climbers, in it for a three year spell.)
I call the climb: 'Come On In" you can see why.
A feature I'm proud of it is cool & cool;
you hang out near bottom or sittin' in the hot sun belaying on top,
And you feel a breeze, it provides Air conditioning,
when it is very hot outside, it's a relief .
In the winter it is a dream of a thing!
It did provide cover from storms
till the fire turned the top into a siv.
The tunnel stayed dry, but for the ice that
grows up the walls from the bottom.
I won't try to defend the picture,
Have a run of the finest of weather , here comes the crowded sending season
A fact not missed by Mr E Sloan and his minions of slapp in more BOLTZ
The attitude ~
It's cool, I'll change the rocks n protection on old routes,
the rules will change, nothing good stays so cool for so long.
Not even the Ditch
need I explain?
This poop looking tube is that rare find; an opening in a cliff
that happens to open up at the mid point or start of the overhanging....
So the easy escape,
a tunnel that goes through N,up behind the main wall
I won't try to defend the picture,
It only 5.6+ so I can still climb it!

Speaking from my own observations and for myself, only, the management but not the owner of this joint.
The huge dump outside belongs to CMac.
It is in turn a corner of a back lot somewhere in the main studio center called the CMac Empire.
This here joint, well, it's just small, odiferous hill in the dump.
There is a local in-the-park production coming of Love's Labour's Lost.
My art curator friend told me that he's trying out for a part.
I asked him if it was for the part of zBerowne.
He looked at me in a weird manner.
He's trying out for the part of Berowne, of course, and how did I know?
But I was only following my instincts.
I'm not endowed with any special gifts like a saint or prophet.
He said he's been working on growing his mustache and beard, which are looking regal, not simply noble.
And that's my expert beard-growing assessment.
He said he didn't know, but he said memorizing the part is a lot of labour.
He pronounced it in American, though.
I told him that IMO he looked good in the bow tie.
He explained that he was en route to the Art League's business meeting.
He said a tie was expected, professional, and de rigeur.
He actually used those words on the streets of Merced and some one understood.
He's been practicing, I can tell. He's an upwardly mobile individual, as would be obvious to the most casual head-hunter.
But I was almost flummoxed, lemme tellya.
I avoided showing this by spilling my coffee out my nose.
Gee, I'm as almost funny as the jokes about Jimmy Hoffa;
or the future under a demi-god;
or the way old Bardy spelt labor.
But it's my show.
Welcome toit in large round tones
Enter and rest your weary bones
Be your name either Swift or Jones
This is one of those safety zones.
And we are about to commence a safety meeting.
Ties are not mandatory.
In fact, come as you are.
There's a sop to that poor man there
The one nursing the pot-belly
Like a drunkard with a cadg'd ale
--Shakyleggs
zBrown, I enjoyed your photo set immensively.

Felinese: Meow.
Italian: Ciao.
Taconian dialect: woot!
Along with the super shots of Jupiter's south pole provided by NASA from its Jupiter spacecraft,
a pair of amateur astronomers from Cringing Corners, MT, claimed to have photographed what they are calling the smallest planet in the world.
They need a better name.
Earth is already the smallest planet in the world.I even bet this shot they say they made is photo-shopped.

Trying to get in the last word, so typical of cats.
Welcome, Chele!!!!
Forgive my rudeness in not extending the hearty handshake earlier.
Om very sorry.
Feel free to express yourself, Hieroglyph Lady.
Question: Why not simply take off their coats before Ciao Mix?
I realize that's not Ciao Mix on their plates.
The one on the left LOOKS menacing, but I'll bet he's really a pussycat.

Is his name Simon?
That's Herr Braun's cat's name, ya know.
Simon sez:
"Well, I honestly thought her style and good looks alone would get her through to the finals all along.
But she's ADDED something to her act along the way, MULTIPLYING its effect.
If she were a fighting 'bot, she'd kick butt in that arena, as well.
She is probably tougher than she looks."

Erudite, you're simply to right about the cost, it would be astronomical to try to raise a cogent argument might break the karmic bank.The place is studded, why not flay the practice of restraint ? Onward we can make it great.!

Saving the best for last, Boomer would say.
Or the prize in a box of Crackerjack Candy.
Or maybe life is like a box of chocolates and you have to guess what it's going to be like.
