In reply to: Does anybody else hear Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer" or GnR's "Welcome to the Jungle" when they look at that, or is it just me? ;)
Bon Jovi all the way. He looks a little too dorky for the GnR.
LOL :D

In reply to: I just got a fantastic idea for MY profile pic. Be back in ten minutes.
Someone send out a posse for robgordon. He posted this at 1:03 and hasn't been seen since.
Maybe he was looking for a profile pic of Jimmy Hoffa?

In reply to: If you want a TR a rack here is my sugestion 2x25-30 feet of 1inch tubular webbing OR 30 feet of 11mm static line 2x 15 feet webbing 2 double lenght slings- sewn or made 10-15 oval biners- most verstile and cheapest 2 lockers for various points- NOT the master point always use three ovals here (one in opposition)!! Much better for the rope and STRONG!! Thats all you need if the routes are bolted!
All that for a TR with a 2 bolt anchor? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, so like, long story short, my profile pic is now "evidence" and I'm not allowed to go in the flower shop across the street anymore.

I love this! Real time gumby tracking. We should make this a permanent feature of the site.

In reply to: What, no shoe catagory? :lol:
Gumby Shoe Theory Achievement Award. I will personally look after this category. I will take into consideration: 1) if they wear the standard n00b shoes (Spires, Cliffs), 2) if they flail on the occasional gym or silo climb but still have high-end shoes (i.e., 5.10 Dragons or V10s; Sportiva Miura or Testarossa), and 3) if they start threads asking what kind of shoe they should get, and/or start a specific _____ vs. _____ thread.
Bonus points also available for wearing socks!
:twisted:

In reply to: In reply to: Jay, you just made me "LOL" in the library!! Some posts are just generally stupid though. Like the above quoted examples that Alex dug up- what category would that fall into? For conspicuous achievement in the area of "Talking out of your ass".
Single Most Foot-in-Mouth Statement by a Gumby
The dillweed who asked Curt if he'd ever led a route was looking pretty solid for this honor.

Wow. A Gumby Award nomination- once again, for scubasnyder.
But click on the area name and you'll see scuba claims to be one of the FAists in the area too.
:shock:
In reply to: Doubting reality Difficulty: 5.5 Protection: Top rope/someone needs to bolt it Description: Theres many different routes on this wall, from 5.4-5.10, you pick your poison, check the picture, ill try to put up eveyr climb here but there much better stuff to climb
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Holy shit, dude. scuba is crushing the competition all Kerry-style.

I'm thinking if you put scubasnyder and climbobsessoin on opposite ends of the same rope, then you'd have the world's dumbest clothesline.
