NO! I'm not going! GFD scares me... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

HARDER! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Have you ever seen my tap-dancing routine? It's very cute. i think you'd like it. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Didn't that Mirage thingie cost me a kiss few months ago? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Nope. SC... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Very true. And helicopter evacuation is not an option at this altitude, as it is too high for a chopper to have any air to play with... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I may be wrong, but I think that's what Lou has been repeating over and over and over... If one does it for the money, he/she should not be there in the first place. "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Bearded longhaired UN dudes, Indonesians, ... I say Nuke'em! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Good point. My take on the whole "climbing the himalayas" thingie (damn, especially K2!), based on having experienced mountain climbing friends explaining it to me: if you are not super fit, knowledgable of the (extreme) sport, and properly(understatement) trained, it amounts to pushing a ground trained AFF Level 1 student out the door without any instructors jumping along. You'd better hope everything goes textbook...

Uh... Why go all the way there to stalk him? I can do that in Speaker's Corner! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

You mean, it's not your face on your avatar? "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Congrats to you ladies. Keep it up!

Always holding bottles of booze in one same hand will do that... "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

I can provide you with one of my friend's info if you'd like. He spent 3 months in the Dolpo, shooting a documentary on an isolated buddhist monastry (only 1 monk left, 3 days walking from the nearest village). He'd be happy to provide you with more info I'm sure.

I just got a call that I have wanted for 35 years

So very, very cool! -
I have friends who have done it. The overall concensius was that it was cool, but the fact that it has become a "tourist" attraction is somewhat bothering. Although there are much more challenging climbs, it is still an extreme event that can be performed in extreme conditions. Not all companies seem to take the risks too seriously, and it has resulted in deaths. If you want to treck the Himalayas while limitting the risks as well as the "tourist group" factor, I would recommend getting a good guide in Nepal and trecking the Dolpo plateau. Totally deserted, you will not see another person aside from the occasional buddhist hermit for weeks, and will experience a one of a kind experience. My €.02

Indeed! And rewrite history so the future generation, which is more interested in catchy sound bites and explosion thanks to the current generation's guidance, will take it as historical fact. Someone may wonder how the majority of movie goers fuels such things... Masses, I tell you...

I have never BASE jumped in NZ (or anywhere else for this matter), but did produce an event involving BASE jumping off a cliff in the South Island 3 1/2 years ago. All we had to do was ask the farmer who owned the field where the jumpers were landing for permission. Not only did he grant it, but he moved his sheeps to another field, and adamantly refused to get paid for usage.

I'm thinking of getting in the tunnel on Friday night if I can, maybe spend the night in Perris, then jump there or at Elsinore. If I don't make it to Elsinore on Saturday, I'll be there on Sunday. Start baking away, I'll start fasting tomorrow...

Well, certainly not to defend these 2 fuckers (OBL & AZ), but it would rationally make as much sense as Bush & Blair grabbing a gun and patrolling Iraq or Afghanistan...

Damn right! And proud of it...! "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
