  1. I think the going price tag is about 65K. So for some people it is a once in a lifetime shot, not to mention that there's no refund if you don't get a summit opportunity. There's been a lot of criticism lately that the bigger ascent companies are trying to "Disney-fie" Everest...that is make it so a few quality guides can lead almost anyone up the South Col route. Yet, Mother Nature still has a way of weeding people out. Discovery channel is running a show recently about a group of climbers investigating whether George Mallory and Andrew Irvine ever reached the summit in 1924. They found no conclusive proof but they did show Mallory's body, which they eventually buried. Due to the conditons above 25,000 feet and the effort it takes to get a body down, most people who perish are left where they lay. Kind of eerie, but a very sobering reminder.
  2. That's what I figured, but one is a corporate ladder climber and the other a plastic surgeon who jst opened up her own practice.Hardly the ideal time to have kids. But hey, what do I know. If I understood women, I wouldn't be eeking out my Friday workday schlepping on a NFL message board. No offense guys & gals.
  3. Pronounced bike-ee. I think they're a Tawainese knockoff of Nike At least, that's what I go tout of it.
  4. Hmmm...I've got two buddies with pregnant wives who were supposedly on the pill. WTF is up with the pill? Afro, just remember bureaucracy justifies itself. It's maddening, but that's the system.
  5. TD drops upper deckers at One Bills Drive.
  6. I agree...calling David Terrell a key vetran sold off any credbility his rankings might have had.
  7. TD is responsible for the tragedy over Macho Grande.
  8. [scratches head and offers up] TD broke up the Beatles?
  9. TD shot Tupac and Biggie.
  10. Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris was excellent. He also wrote The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt which obviously covers his rise to the presidency. I recommend both. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...421503?v=glance
  11. TD ate all the Frushengladje.
  12. Oh, I thought you were gonna say he got caught shagging Millie in the locker room.
  13. My buddy was supposed to be a groomsman in this wedding. As for 600 guests, lets just say the grooms parents are pretty well off. I'll see if my friend has any additional info when I see him in class monday night.
  14. Depends when you have to have your keepers finalized. In my two keeper leagues we get until a week before the season. That way we get to evaluate training camp battles and injuries. Obviously you want to keep guys you think will be gone before you have an opportunity to draft them again. Look at the guys drafting ahead of you and try to predict their needs. Not knowing your league, I would go with Foster. You can never have too much RB depth and it's a lot easier finding a decent WR in a keeper draft than it is a RB. Keep an eye on the Carolina RB situation. Rumors are that Davis might be done (good for Foster), but the Panthers drafted another RB with their 2nd pick that might push Foster. Supposedly Foster is almost 100% and will be ready for camp. It's his job to lose and when he did play last year, he was awesome. If Boldin holds out, he's f'd. Green has no pity for whiners, he won't have a chance to get his timing down with Warner and Fitz will push him for the the #1 spot. Robinson is a waste. I've drafted him in the past based on potential...hoping that "this is the year." He'll drop far enough in your draft you can take a flyer on him in the mid rounds if you think he can get his career on track. Stokley is a great 3rd reciever, but he's still that...a 3rd reciever. You shouldn't have to use your first pick to nab him, so if you really like him, pick him up later on.
  15. I personally like the Padron Anniversery lines. The 64's are cheaper than the 26's, easier to find and very nice. The 26's are excellent. The Fuente Opus X Line is also excellent. My buddy is a huge Opus X fan, so I mooch of him as much as possible.
  16. I agree...despite all the BS that surrounds Clarrett, you have to remember he tore up the college football scene as a Freshman. Possible if he kept his head on straight at OU he's be a top 1st round selection. I know most draft pundits think Shanahan reached for him in the third, but you can't dispute Shanny's track record when it comes to RB's. Hell anyone who can run forward gains 1000yds in their system. Insert a guy with talent and well, look at what Terrell Davis did.
  17. A aging and banged up Emmitt Smith and Troy Hambone rushed for almost 1700 yards for the Cards last year. With their recieving threats I wouldn't be surprised at all if Arrington leads the rookie class and is a ROY candidate.
  18. Commentator on Sirius mentioned TD was willing to move Travis for a third, but there was no takers. In fact none of the guys that were talked about being traded were moved. Gardner, Woodson, Henry Abraham, etc....
  19. Someone find that boy a neck!
  20. Never mind. Pitt jsut grabbed him. Stojan!!!
  21. RB - I beliwvw Kay-Jay Harris is still out there. How about another guard. Chris Kemetou(sp?) is still available.
  22. There may be some lag time for your new service to recieve calls at your transferred number. Most providers recommend you hang on to your old phone/service until the new one can recieve calls at the transferred number. besides that, it's easy.
  23. Were did you get the idea I follow a fortune teller out of that. I was just pointing out that he "supposedly" predicted popes and that if one digs a little into anything you'll find some degree of seperation.
  24. As predicted by St. Malachy. Supposedly he's been right on the last 110 or so popes and anti-popes. His predictions range from being scarily accurate to being quite vague. Like any prediction, if you search deep enough you can find some sort of connection. Take a look if you have the time http://www.catholic-pages.com/grabbag/malachy.asp
  25. I agree, my dad did three and that wasn't uncommon.
