Sp I've been in a bit of a slump the past few days, and then this morning I woke up kinda achy and still feel kinda crappy. BUT the running clinic is on tonight. Getting out and exercising will make me feel better, but if I'm getting sick (or am sick) it may not be the best idea to go for a 8km run when it's below freezing out.

gah

if it makes you feel any better I was making next to nothing before, so a promotion and raise gets me to poorly paid compared to paid jack shit.

Nathan is climbing last (49th), number 119. The jersey numbers are going up as people are climbing but they are skipping some (ie - I watch #70, then #72 and then #75).

Not much getting done at work over the next couple of hours!
damz, I'm getting a server not found. I was really looking forward to not working.
I had to refresh it for it to work. Just saw #90 whip off of a figure 4.
Damn, still no.

working fine here, but they seem to only be on #29 or so. I can't watch 20 of these fuckers pegboreding up this nonsense.

Heh. On that note, I will set aside my keybored and go watch an episode of Gheyme of Thrones.

Weke. I was expecting more morning entertainzments than this.

donny can't even drag his ass owt climbing, let alone properly GU teh thred.

Yes, but you aught to cut Donny some slack since he is the OGU. Just sayin'. He's the only one to go back to page one several years into the thread.

I am the last in. There shall be no more.

Ummmmm. No. There have been a few after you

The current batch of flies doesn't look like it'll amount to much. Perhaps we should have Dr. Ivel, our resident fly scientist, attempt to synthesize some new life forms.

Dr. Ivel and mini-me. Heh.

Both toenails on the big toes of my feet are coming off. My knee is wrapped and in intense pain whenever I move it or walk. Vitamin I has little effect on the reduction of pain. There isn't swelling. I've been pushing it hard for the past few weeks. Lost some weight got some training in.

I wrecked myself. I tried to take it easy this week, but that didn't work. Over use injury on my already crippled right knee. I've got bone-on-bone in half of it and it's telling me I've gone tuphar.

Falling apart, are you?

I am sore as hell after starting PE and over-enthusiastically climbing 3 days in a row.
In the effort to lose blort and and maybe find some of my long lost dignity I started training. I got a bit too ambitious last week and am feeling the effects now. I'm going to be sequestered to the stationary bike and low-impact training. From the sounds of it, we're all starting to fall apart...

ewe guys are funny.... 30 year olds complaining about falling apart.

Can a 40 year old complain about falling apart? I helped speed it along with diving tower, and then flipping across a highway at a high rate of speed.
I think ewe have more lasting effects than I do, and considering how I feel some mornings I'll wouldn't poopoo anything you complained about.

Oh, you were definitely hurt worse than I was. I was only in the hospital for four days (mostly due to being exceptionally stubborn). Don't you still have some hardware too? I know you had the big one taken out.

I only had the femur harware, and now that's been removed I'm able to do thinks like go running etc.

I think the things that gets me about your accident over mine is that you had some nerve damage, which doesn't seem like a big thing but I think that nags you way more than all the broken bones I had. Despite all the damage I did to myself I am extreamly thankful that I didn't hurt my joints and I didn't have any nerve damage.

Yeah, the nerve damage sucks, but the blown out knees and scar tissue around the tendons on my foot still bother me the most. Soft tissue injuries are usually longer lasting than bone injuries. The three broken bones healed pretty quickly really.

In that aides are sometimes nice to have?

Toys? Well, with didn't ewe say so in teh first place?

Toys are gud.

I has a toy box teh size ov a foot locker and it's full.... but we have talked about this before?

I think this is a road the BET has never wandered down.

This iz knot entirely korrect.

While it's tru, we have knot had in depth disscussions... and I haven't posted pic's ov teh contents ov teh toy box.

I have said that I wood never consider dating any won that wasn't a freak. Have talked about Ricky, teh sex swing, a pron collection that wus stolen from C-ya's rig, visits to teh pron shop, and how boring teh vanilla is. I've mentioned Jay Wiseman and used dozens of terms strate owt ov his glossery... most awl ov witch went unnoticed. Quoted and misquoted owt of Deborah Addington's book.

Probibly more, but that rite oft teh top ov my hed.

Whut due ewe wunts to no?

Start with the pictures of that toy chest, to stimulate, umm... discussion?

i'm knot hear to entertain ewe...

sides, haven't stimulated ewe enough awlready?

sighs
well hears teh thing.....

ewe kind ov strike me as a do-me queen, burdened by yore alpha dilemma and fearful ov monday morning rebound syndrome. consequently, ewe are constantly topping from below.

assertive fantasies in conjunction with yore militant feminism are in conflict with going under and allow for any bottom space. erotic power exchanges involving pushing limits ov poignant sensations by torture require discipline not possessed by teh novice, curious about teh scene.

nau i'm knot unwilling to negotiate....

but i'm concerned that ifs i showed ewe teh contents ov teh toy box yore straight up vanilla werld wood becum so moraly challenged and outraged, that yore kneejerk reaction wood be unbearable.

course i cood be rong and ewe cood just be a brat pretending to be a kamikaze pretending to be a brat.... but to tell ewe teh truth, i'm kinda over teh hole spanking thing.

in other werds... stimulate this!

it. So I finish setting, and ask a guy to give me a catch. Run though the route, it turned out really nice, flows well, but I think, maybe not quite hard, maybe hard minus... Which in our gym-speak corresponds to ~11b/c.

Meanwhile, a visiting guy has been walking circles around the construction cones, dying to try this new route. So he get's on it, and falls on the 1st move. And 3rd move, and 5th move, and 6th move... you get the idea. Comes down and pronounces it to be a "solid 5.12, really sustained, one hard move after another". Not sure, if you can call a 25ft climb a sustained anything, but... heh! Another guy gets on it, same thing... apparently it is harder than I thought. They both like the route, at least that much is good. But now I am wondering if my difficulty gauge really needs recalibrating, or if I had just set one of those "easy-for-people-between-4'10"-and-5'2"-difficult-for-everyone-else" routes.

Grading gym routes. Such a fun exercise!

We have the setters post up what they think the route is/should be, then go 1-2 letters above and below and have check-boxes next to the grades. After a week, the highest grade is set and that's what the route is graded. Keeps routes appropriately graded.

I think that gym routes should go through double-blind peer review processes for grading. Actually, that should go for outside routes, too. It really is the only sensible option.

Well then yore knot gunna like teh grades at teh hole.

He'll like the Big Tony grades.

Thing iz... if we goes by Big Tony's grades, sure we feel gud about ourselves but it just doesn't add up.

per Big Tony, teh Drive By iz won three bee, so then teh Gangbanger and Smash an Grab, both too grades harder wood bee dee's and teh Ghettobird, a grade harder wood be a won four a. And I'm saying, I don't carez how many tries I took or how many months it took me to due each ov them, even on my best day, I have never dun a won three dee let alone a won four a.

sides, there iz nothing rong with stiff grades.

Now that is true art (rip), man. Spray with the subtlety of a fine wine or a Miles Davis solo. I'm a firehose, but this is a fine spring mist. This is WAY subtler than just saying, "yeah, I sent my project but grades don't mean anything," or "yeah, you'd like this area, there is even some stuff you could do that is your style."

Superficially, Jack is supporting snadbags, self-deprecating, using the spelled out numbers so that skimmers like me won't immediately beeline into something as obvious as "5.14a". But beneath the surface, we read into the hidden meanings and learn that Jack has climbed a climb that was rated an astronomical grade.

Like I said, I have so much to learn form this, Obi Wan.

Ewe like that eh?

I iz yore professional...

Still,

for the record...

I am a know talent hack that has occasionally managed to get up sumthin, with practice.

I have never dun an established root graded harder than a cee.

I have never graded any ov my own roots harder than a bee, but have conseeded that many ov them might feel more difficult than graded.... ifs ewe are as weke as a kitten.


Conseed Nothing!!!!11Pirate

hummm.... fer a liar, I'm surprised ewe missed teh disclaimer and teh fine print.

hear I'll help ewe owt and bold teh disclaimer and enlarge teh fine print
