Chanman squash'n Yogo's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh Yea!!!!!!!! A little pun on the European!!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

I think when we send people back, they should try to getting running and put some classic license plates on it!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

This is ridiculous. Read my post above and before the "insert Big Hit Here" Insert...and I got arrested. "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

Quotecould be that the marijuana is a symptom of the real problem.... Well of course it is....................lets see, mom and dad no longer love each other, they split, home sucks without the family, all dad wants to do is get some from his new girlfriend, mom is a wreck and she crys all the time and I cannot even talk to her, I got fired, teachers at school don't care and all they do is talk down to me.........and all I want is my old life back.........(insert big hit here)........MuCh BeTtEr NoW................ He needs an older male mentor who can get to him and teach him a few things his parents seem to think is not very important-especially his father. kinda of like an AA sponsor.

I have seen more than one person drink freak'n bong water...... "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

Only Europeans mix weed with tabacco!!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

Mis-report? He was in the death-zone! He was lucky to remember to put one foot in front of the other! He was convinced of the identity of that person for quite a while, however if I remember correctly (mind you it's been a while since I've read the book) he later corrected himself. As for Boukreev, let me just say he was the product of communist Russia where one's life's goal was to please and better your government, especially if you were a high profile athlete. You were supposed to do as you were told no matter how you got there. I know I lived it for 18 years. Ma'am, It's understandable to excuse someone for not thinking clearly while in the "Death Zone" and it's even understandable that their personal recollection of exactly how events unfolded while there would be clouded. I also understand that he later corrected himself however, it wasn't until he had already mis-reported the event in a national publication and after his account was challenged by others who were present that night. Sure, he felt terrible about making the mistake in the first place and even worse that he had already published it. But if he was wrong about that, could he have been wrong about some of Anatoli's actions as well? I know it doesn't always happen, but people who report the "news" and especially those of Krakauer's stature have a responsibility to get the facts right. I admire him for admitting his mistake but his credibility was still damaged. If you have taken the time to look at any photos of climbers on Everest, how in the hell do you know who is who?????????? If you went to another DZ that you had never been to before, no chance in hell you could name the people gear'd up. And too, the Russian was not much help to anyone on any team....and from what I understand, Russians take a different approach to climbing than the rest of the world.

Man, I would have *sworn* nobody was watching when I did that! I truly don't recommend it, even if I actually do it occasionally. Walt I will never let you down on that one!!!!!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

I have read this as well. And I have also read that weed makes cells die quicker and they are unable to reproduce defective cells. But the tar is much heavier in the lungs. "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

Ralston quit his job and moved to Colorado to pursue his dreams of being a climbing junkie after reading about Chris.

I believe respect is earned/given on a case-by-case basis and that most celebrities who do stuff to ostensibly make the world a better place are fakes and should indeed STFU. Walt They'll all work their asses off to earn your respect, particularly when you've opined that they should STFU. Since no one else' contribution is of value, I'd like to know what constitutes "making the world a better place?" What significant charitable contributions have you made? Walt has taught many people how to properly make stall turns at 65ft and I think that has served skydivers everywhere a great amount!!!!!!!!

I do not think that Chris was really that stupid......just a little over confident with his skills in the Alaskan backcountry-and he really was not in the backcountry by Alaskan standards. I think he knew it would warm a bit in a month and I think he planned on being out of there by the end of summer before the first really cold weather rolled in. All of his other adventures were really cool!!!!!! Taking a canoe all the way to Mexico????? That must have been really great! Even Jon K said that he did not talk to one single person who thought that Chris was a flake. In fact, Jon said that everyone thought Chris to be a great guy! Chris was brilliant. But, I think he was in search of something, or maybe a way of just being, that does not exist on any level. I have met people on the road that were doing the same thing as Chris. I once cooked lunch for a group of people near Cambridge Idaho who had almost nothing to their names and I was amazed at how comfortable they were with themselves. I think had he survived his last experience, he would have settled back into some roll in normal society. I think his Alaska Adventure was really just a hike gone very bad, but he had done all his homework concerning what he could eat (maybe not how to cure meat). He just did not get enough food.......and to think he was just a few miles from a fully stocked cabin and wire across the river! Kinda of funny how Chris has influenced thousands of people to think outside the box of everyday life as it is sold to us on TV! He would have made a great skydiver!

First thing I thought of was no blood at all on or in the plane........no goose. "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

all I can say is that while in high school my girlfriend worked at Victoria Secret part time and I was the happiest guy in school!!!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

One of my neighbors used to go down to Mexico and bring back roofies(yep, the date rap drug and she loved them) and get stoned out of her mind about once a week. I found her in the common area talking to a tree and when she turned to talk to me, her tit fell out of her tank top! We talked for about 10 minutes and she never even noticed! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

I still like Bonnie.....

If you wait long enough, you will meet a girl who simply wants a skydiving boyfriend.....and it really does not seem to matter who or what kind of skydiver he is! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

EXACTLY what I was going to say!!!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

They look like trouble. Better keep a very watchful eye out for them! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

I think you should name her Bonnie........and you should not allow her on the furniture!

I just got off the phone with my brother and I was telling him about your ass because I remember he had the camera up the butt trick done a few years ago........And he said that they gave him nothing and to top it off, the person sticking the camera in could not get it, so he shoved the damn thing in himself!!!!!!!! I have known my brother was a tight ass my entire life, but I never thought it was this bad!!!!!!!!! So will you please post the video? And I think your special rating should be a brownie instead of greenie!!!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

Anyway Andrea, if you weren't married I would offer to gently tend to your ass all night. I think this post kinda "slipped" by! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"

I read one of his books a couple of years ago, what a great guy he was!

That is exactly what I had in mind when I choose that option!

I do not think skydiving is really that expensive compared to other activities. What I think is keeping people out of the sport is "the once in a life time thrill" tandem for just 189$........people can make the skydive, let someone else take the responsibility, get the video and re-live it every time they sit in front of the TV. And the social factor keeps many people out of the sport. I think many people do not realize how brutal skydivers can look to a newbie!
