Absolutely.  You want to climb in expensive shoes?  Knock yourself out.  I'd rather skip the part where I touch the urine of every person that climbs in a 30 mile radius though.

do you also skip outdoor rock? where do you climb?  or do you not mind touching the shit of every bird in a 100 mile radius?  (let's play a game called "which is more sanitary: Urethra or Cloaca")


besides. touching the urine of crushers at the gym is how you inherit the viking climbing powers, no?

Clearly there's a lot of batshit around, though...

Nope but your Sprinter van conversion is legit - *rolls eyes*

I drive an 80,000 dollar truck. Because it makes me feel good and I can.

Price, last time we spoke, you agreed to stay out of my topics.

Cool, I guess you'll be one of the pioneers of Pissorade.

Hahaha.  So far I haven't.  Yeah, and I'd trade weekly rain showers to wash everything off and birdshit for people oils and piss.  That's how vikings would do it.

Are you one of those guys that washes his hands without using soap and calls it a day? ;)

I think the "holier than thou" Dr. Price has finally smashed the idols.

Clearly this high roller doesn't need MP at large buying his dog treats.

Now kindly please stay out of my topics - and take your American made 80 thousand dollar paper weight with you. (Can you actually imagine not buying a Japanese truck?)

This seems like an awful lot of contempt for someone I'm assuming you've never met.  Sheesh.

Do Americans actually piss in the urinal or on the floor or their shoes? Or are American "thangs" so short you have trouble aiming?

...jim what's the Visa situation like in Germany? I would love to not have piss on my 160 euro climbing shoes.

Do Europeans have special urinals that contain all piss droplets and never get anything outside of the urinal?  Because personally I've never seen one that does that.  Is there a patent on this product?

Google "fly sticker in urinal" to be educated. They have been around for maybe 150 years.
