Plus, the word 'crunk' is just hilarious. I think it means stoned and durken? I always associated it with bad 2005 era 'when I step into da club'- type music. Like brokencyde, which if you have not heard of you all should check out. Worst possible music E Evar.

Its one of those things though where I'm probably just old and not hip any more. Is it stoned and drunk? Crazy-drunk? I bet every 22 year old knows. I was just told last night that no one says LOL any more dammit. urban dictionary says chronic + drunk. People still say chronic? LOL. Dammit!

Stackin' 'em like cordwood! although I imagine that there is a statistically higher probability of a car having the Racist-Reactionary bumper sticker in the south, and therefore seeing them off the road is not an uncommon occurrence. I'm still chuckling at the thought, erieguardless.

I don't know where the word comes from, but it refers to a specific sort of hip-hop and associated dancing prevalent in atlanta and other parts of the south. Lil Jon is probably the artist I'd most associate with the genre.

If you need to use the restroom, you have to go to another building. Someone drilled through the main water line. Sorry for the inconvenience. It is freaking 14F and snowing outside. I think if I head outside, I'll walk all the way to my car, ans go home. if it is 14F and snowing, what teh fuk is somebody doing outside drilling through the water line? That shit don't stop. When it gets -10F below or wind chills to -40 +/-, they'll stop work. It gets too cold for the pumps to move the hydraulic fluid on the equipment and that can be dangerous.

KSB was fun, fell off towards the end of the left traverse on my onsite attempt of Amarillo, zent on try 2, took a beatdown figuring out the boulder porblem on samurai, then went across the valley and zent the Citizen's Arete (2nd try of the day, after hanging draws on try 1). Citizens arête was Lena's mega proj earlier. I think it finally went down after a few years work. well, I have a sneaking suspicion that she went off rowt in the middle and never actually zent.

In other gnus, I climbed pretty well this weekend, without the half-anticipated presence of unpleasant company. Yeah, the routes were reachy (what else is new?), but for some reason I was not in the least bit frustrated about it, because I thought I had bigger unpleasant things to look forward to, so without them, nothing else mattered much. [spray]It actually feels like I am seeing the positive effects of the hangbored hell. More than one occasion I lunged for a hold that i thought was going to be too bad/small to stick, and every time I stuck it and thought, shit, I am actually holding on to it, and it doesn't feel that bad, even though it looks like it should be really bad and I shouldn't be able to hold on to it. The highlight was a deadpoint to crimpy one-pad undercling/sidepull, followed by cutting feet, repositioning them, and jumping blindly to another hold. [/spray] Hopefully Jack had his dirtiest bits arranged in a proper way before he got hit by the spray above, because there is no shower anticipated for a while.

I am starting to peak with the hangbored, too. There was a crimpy porbelm in the gym with a good landing, not left foot intensive at awl, so I ran up it. Feet cut whenever I was not campusing, and I just felt solid on all the crimps. I love the definite, easily quantifiable gains you make on the hangbored. We should start a website called hangboarding.com, for 100% hangbored tawk, all day every day!

I admit that i wasn't able to listen through the entire raw interview with this Kai guy... but I think I got the gist of it after 20 sec. I was just trying to picture the reporter's face off-camera... bhahahha!
