Smoking at the crag

So you're saying they watch the films for you and then tell you about them so you can come to your own conclusions?

^^^^ That's good stuff right there! Okay forget my return to the movie review comment let's see where this goes. I'm super curious now.

OR: the LDS Church, the Mormon Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  All of them would work but none are "the" church nor does "the" church help those who may not be accustomed to such references know what you are talking about.  

Also the movie reviews where the only good part of this thread can we please have some more of those? Or maybe someone can give a good run down of last night's episode of Game of Thrones.  

I'm not sure what you mean.  To which references are you referring?

And don't say, "a reference book that references all non-self-referential reference books."  That would be paradoxical.

It is your church correct? It is not The church.  That is the reference which you made and I was helping correct.  I lived in Utah for awhile and could never understand why people would refer to the Mormon Church as The Church when there are several denominations throughout the Salt Lake Valley.  

And if you're not supposed to smoke at the crag then why are there all these pipes drilled into the boulders at the base.  If only it had a carb.

The council given, as I understand it, is to generally stay away from any media that would offend the Holy Ghost.  This might mean walking out of a movie theater in the middle of a movie, or choosing not to see it altogether.  Have I followed this council to the letter?  Clearly not.  But we also believe in repentance, but do not misunderstand. I can't simply repent after every R rated movie, and expect to avoid condemnation.  It doesn't work that way.  I'm sure one can be forgiven more than once for the same trespass, but with each repeat offense, the former transgressions return, and there is a heavier burden of sin to bear each time than ever before.  Eventually, the task of repenting would become too difficult to bear.

Thats my take on it.

It's just short-hand speak.  Nothing to take personal.

The LDS church is prominent enough in Utah to be referred to as "the church."  If you know what I mean, there is no ambiguity.

In a world context, perhaps "the church" would refer to the Catholic Church.

Because that kind of smoke smells good. Remember we're talking about the brown stuff here,

Believe me I didn't.  I just find it odd and for clarification this is the Internet not Utah.  While I may know what you're talking about others may not.  My comment was for clarification purposes only. 

@ Rob: AWESOME who would have thought.  Looks like the conclusion is smoking at the crag is okay as long as someone is not crushing their project and you're not leaving butts.  The V thread pipe seems like the only solution.  No glass, butts and easy storage to wait for everyone to finish sending.

I know I was just trying to point this thread in a much more positive and relevant direction. Plus some people like to smoke the dirty green so you can't say no brown because then you'd be discriminating against the spliff and the dirty bowl. 

Plus I have 20 more minutes of my Monday to kill. 

Does anybody know how one would go about drilling a bubbler out of a boulder? Asking for a friend ;)

I feel bad for you buttercup.   The real world is not for you

Great question!

Power drill... a few different sized bits. Problem is the water....   tipping over a big boulder to empty the contents can be problematic. 

To any women who wear shirts at the crag: I find myself unable to concentrate while climbing and simultaneously imagining what those beautiful orbs of womanhood look like unfettered by clothing. So much so that it's really inconsiderate of any woman to be near me at the crag while still concealing her fantastic knockers. 

Yes, you have a right to privacy and self-concealment. But don't we all have a right to appreciate luscious mounds of woman-flesh? If I ask you to remove your shirt, please don't be a jerk. Just show me your boobs.

Yer gunna die.

Yeah I smoke cigarettes! I smoke them all. The reds, menthols, the lights, the butts out of the ash tray. Sponsor me Marlboro

You drill a v-thread with both legs aiming down at 45deg, with a long bit, then drill a third hole (this will be the carb) to intersect one of those two legs at about halfway along it's length, then pour some water into the main legs till it's just below where the third leg intersects.  Obviously you are hitting the side that the carb intersects.

Then you would have to tip the boulder over to change the water and it would collect rain water. What if you drilled a hole pointing down to drain the water and then made some kind of cork for it? Just let the cork out and drain the water when it's time to change it.
