Hey now. His buddy Timy might have to kick your ass and break all your brittle bones for that, old man.

But he'll need to go to Ann Arbor or Hawaii to receive the beating. I'd go for the Hawaiian punch.

Yes. He's the winner of the "Single Shot Derringer" Award. No need to prolong the agony. Give him the damn award and the gun that goes with it so he can put himself out of our misery.

Thought this one was pretty good since this guy has appeared throughout the thread.

In reply to: I do one of 2 things, stuff my pack with a sleeping bag, and wear it while bouldering. It absorbs the brunt of the fall. Second innovation, I once used a camping blow up mattress as a bouldering mat. Then I bought a new mat 2 days later, cause it popped.
Note: he's talking about trying to save money. Destroying your inflatable mattresse does WONDERS for saving $!
Wearing a pack with a sleeping bag stuffed in it? :lol:

Nomination for notaclockworkorange, who complains that he can't find a good website to teach him how to lead climb.

I looked at his profile & he's only 13! Not an excuse if he kills someone, but still... And he DOES describe himself as "ecotistic"... Hee hee.

We can make allowances for underage gumbies, but due to the seriousness of this case I'm nominating him as an adult.

I second that nomination. Some forms of stupidity defy age. Even at 13 he should be able to think things through better than that!

Hah! To prove that JT512 was correct in his nomination despite age I found this beautiful little gem:
He posted in the thread "Future: How to Balance Career, Family, and Climbing"
http://www.rockclimbing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=750005&highlight=#750005
If a 13 year old is trying to contribute to that topic, he definitely deserves to be judged with his older peers!
Edit: He's slowly growing a body of work. Here's another beautiful quote from Nolan14 I just found that I don't think is in this thread yet:
In reply to: I heard from a freind that since I can afford very little equipment of any kind that I should buy a bunch of webbing and pack a bag of rocks to wedge in cracks and use as I go as a primitive sort of protection would this work? Is it used often by poor folk like me? and will I die? |

No doubt. He should be tried as an adult, and be subject to prosecution to the fullest extent of the GOTY law.
unless, of course, he qualifies for the insanity defense.

Not sure if anyone has nominated it yet or not, but how about the guy who was pro-leading with key chain biners and did "scientific" tests to prove they were safe :roll:
let me see if I can dig up the thread...

You actually thought those posts were serious?! That's rediculous! Keep working and you may find yourself on these pages.
By the way, what is 'pro-leading'? Do you by chance mean 'trad climbing'?

Also, I must have been thinking of the thread where a guy had said he did all the tests, and while some got the joke, others were clueless. Sorry about that dorkmaster. Now I'm going to search and find them...

Can't find either thread, but I will concede that I am wrong. I spotted almost fifteen catagories on the first three pages alone.

The number of categories is open-ended, as it is almost impossible to envision a priori every dimension in which gumbiness is revealed.
