Peter,
You are a good pal and know me well, and so you already know what I think of some sorts of people. I'd rather eat my own vomit than tie in with this one. I turned down the offer to be in his film because I don't trust him, and I'm sure not roping up with someone if I don't think it is safe, and it would not feel safe to me.

As far as enjoying it... No, I didn't. Several people didn't. Ken did I suppose, or at least he professes to have antagonized me for fun. I feel like an idiot now, having wasted time analyzing it all within the context of rational adult behavior. I should have known immediately that it was not the sort of behaviour I was seeing. It's like a trainer said one time when I was trying to work with a tripped-out acid-head "hey, quit trying to analyze that with respect to rational behavior. He's on acid and that line of thinking is going nowhere."

I would however, as Glime suggested, be happy to participate in a
"MP.com Survivor" (vote-one-off-the-island) game, with the looser issuing a public apology and admission of guilt, and agreeing not to post on the forum again until paying $1000 to the Access Fund. If people like the idea, I'll try to draft up rules and go head to head with Ken for round 1, if he agrees.

Well, as I said I was going out on a limb there, and it turns out I was wrong.

Andy, is Fox next on list of partners after Climbing and Alpinist?

hey heather and sarah and anyone else looking to attract a mentor: post some pix on your profile.

since nothing good is on tv tonight, this tony-ken thing rules. but forget that climbing together crap, they need to fight.

maybe they can fight for charity? really. people would pay -- shit, ain't nuthin' 'mericans love more than violence. (well, maybe one thing.) but, damn, then they'll argue ad nauseum (will someone please correct my spelling with that word? I never can get that one right -- thanks) here afterward about some rule technicality.

then again, maybe they should just meet up at a truckstop men's room and get it all out rather than, ahem, spraying all over the forum.

p.s. just kidding, ladies. but seriously, how 'bout some photos?

I have a broken wrist (Triquetral fracture and an avulsion on a ligament) and a dislocated ankle I got that in an international Ultimate tournament in Mexico the week before last. So the doctor isn't letting me get rough again for a few months.

One thing Americans like better than violence? Let me guess???

Wow -- now, this is a page full of potential headlines ---

Ken and Tony tie the knot and climb... Kirra and Susan Jello wrestle to our hearts content... An 'open for the masses' Wiener contest... access fund donations... the dude who has no pictures of himself posted asks women to post their pics... and Andy brings Reality TV to MP (does that mean we're getting video finally?). Wow! What's not to love about MP?

OK- so it looks like there is going to be a cock fight between Tony, Hank, and Ken.


This is pretty cool. There are pictures of Tony's shlong in some avante guard book so you two guys better get the penis pumps going. I havent seen Hanks but he must have big balls to be base jumping.

We have gone from trying to avoid the dipshits, guys that troll for dates, on this site as " climbing mentors" to dick measurements.

This again is cool because I am pretty bored as well- the weather forecast this weekend is looking crappy and means I have to find some creative ways to convince my climbing partner to go on a 6 hour drive to IC so I can aid my way up IHC. So I am taking a break from that.

Since this post has taken a diversion from the original topic I just wanted to say that I sent the green and orange slab route at BRC tonight- didnt even use chalk- I have heard that using tape, chalk - possibly shoes is aid climbing( see Ben Fabers previous posts). I even used a sick heel hook/ scum off of one of the top holds so I could make the clip that would prevent me from taking a collosal whipper(whats that 5ft?)

Sorry this post is all about me. I have a serious suggestion. lets change the topic/ relocate the posts to some other forum like off line?

Didn't Ben sell his soul to the suburbia mortgage company and give up climbing?

"I havent seen Hanks but "

--but nothin', and don't you know nuthin', boy? Hank F-ckin' Caylor was a porn star, damnit! Regardless of what physics formulas and 25-cent-thesaurus words Ken and Tony pull out, they won't beat The Hank in a schlong-measuring contest. Word 'round the porno circuit campfire is, ol' Hank measures up to Chuck Norris.

If Tony's meat is half as big as his imagination, then Hank is in serious trouble of losing this contest.

And fake breasts look ridiculous, but breast augmentation is more popular than ever.

It's amazing how much stereotypes influence self-image.
