Out There

Out and About - You story is out of this world. Its my wish for you that life always gets better from this day on.

I'm sure we met before. Every year at the ROA the only job I was allowed to perform was trash. I am sure we threw some bags in the back of the truck together.

Last I heard Paul was working in his families Diamond Mines in South Africa. Drives a mercedes with a Mercedes with a pistol always close by. (Pauls family was always well off)

My Good friend and climbing partner is a Public TV Producer. He last year did a documentary on Aushwitz. From his view there was no way this could not have happened. There was no lieing involved and the horrors of the camp were worse than what the public has ever been told.

all TWI did by denying that the holocaust ever happened was to dishonor those whose lives were lost at the hands of the nazis. After what was told to me I have nothing but respect for the people whom the holocaust affected. Did anyone ever stop to think of how many heros there were during the time of the concentation camps. There were many who laid down thier lives for others. It was a time a tragedy and a time of heroism. They should get our honor and respect

HELLO 11th Corpuscles. Just checking in and saying hi to anyone out there

When I first saw Loy come out in his tights I thought it was supposed to be a comedy but wasn't 100% sure so I had to hold back my laughter.

What was funnier though was the announcer MV (also known in some circles as El Shaddai) talking about standing erect before the bema while watching Loy (The big Pr!@k) standing tall - That spoke to me

I really feel bad for those who want to get out but feel there is no place to go. is there some sort of thing in place that can help those who leave?

I probably won't believe any of this until someone produces a picture of Rosie stepping out of a champagne color Lincoln town car, wearing a a long fox fur coat. a pair of black leather gloves and a felt derby hat. I would also think the pic would have acouple of her bitches hanging out of the car also

Just for the record,

I absolutely, positively don't care either

Hi Patti-

Where are you going in WA? I've been wanting to get out there and go up a few peaks with a friend of mine but we never seem to find the time to go.

I'm glad you found your old pal Camilla. Its always nice to find an old friend here and there. I've found a couple through these forums.

Hey, whenever I fly I look at Expedia. cheaptickets and priceline. I always seem to get a really good deal through them as long as I check all three.

The Boy Scouts have a scout law with twelve points to it (Trustworthy loyal helpful friendly courteous kind obediant cheerful thrifty brave clean reverent) He doesn't measure up to any of these

Iwas just reading the post on Dr. Phil in the open forum and it brought back a hysterical memory.

Do you remember when we had to watch the werewille home movies during Christian family with the emphasis on sex class? I will never forget how quiet the room was while we were being shown the porno flicks when suddenly some young gal says "WOW!"

I can't tell you what that did to me. I walked out of that meeting that night and I told God .. Hahahahaha....... I guess you had to be there.

Hey Suz, have you touched down in GR yet?

Too Gray - I used a folding chair. that way if I was off it would make alot of noise but not hurt anything and there was just one dry run.

Patti - how is everything on the "otherside" of Michigan?

How did LCM come up with such a mouth. Even in my most pubescent state I couild never come up with ways of spouting off like he did. He had the harshest mouth I have ever heard. One of my boys likes Rap music and even the rappers would bow down to the mouthing of LCM.

Imagine how disgusting his mind has to be to even be able to think of saying something like that

Carpenter ants? Are you sure you don't mean Way Builders?

There was nothing more stimulating to the senses than that of 16 guys living in the same room in Owens hall.

I've almost forgotten about these? I'm glad you remembered.I've been involved in several opening nights of hockey teams and football teams. Here are a couple

For the opening of the team the Mascot - a bird called a griffen - half lion half eagle needed to make a dramatic entrance so I set it up where I was hanging from the rafters of the arena (94feet up) and lowered him into the arena. the timing had to be perfect because as soon as he touched the ice a fireworks display went off. If I was off by a second the mascot (a griffen) would have become a Phoenix.

The following year I had the mascot jump off the bridge and fly through the gate (the area where the zamboni goes through) and swing 100feet over the ice and then back. he made three swings through the gate (8 feet wide) where if he was off just a little bit you would have seen a splat against the wall (Much like an egg against a wall). At one point of the swing he was less than 3 inches off the ice. after the third swing there was a quick release and he touched down then screamed across the ice.

All the while the mascots are unable to see whats going on through the masks so they need to trust me 100% - poor guys

Besides these I have rigged mascots to rappel from the ceiling through the score board.

One of the nicest things about these was afterwards I got to watch the games while hanging from slings 94 feet above the ice. a vantage point nobody ever gets to have. Too bad the concessions people wouldn't come up to sell me a hotdog or a beer.

These are some of the really fun parts of what I do. actually, most of its fun (except the endless paperwork of insurance and liability forms and advertising and....)

47 years old, own a rock climbing gym (Higher Ground Rock Climbing Centre www.higround.com ) and a guide service. I climb Rock, Ice, Mountains, Volcanos (sorry, no trees). If someone will pay me to climb it I go up it. It's a fun job, I was able to make a career out of what I like doing best. I'm not old, just aging well. Life is good.

BLEAD Outdoor academy was fun,

I read all these stories of sexual misconduct amongst the top Twiters and have started to come to a couple conclusions

I am a professional athlete but don't have near the libido demonstrated by some of the limb guys and country guys. I've determined that this is why I never made it into the upper leadership category.

Had I been able to $cr*w like a rabbit I could have been a country leader or even better, maybe prez of the whole darn shabang

We have been here since 1985 we were in Des Moines IA before coming to GR. Got out (or rather was thrown out) in I think it was 89, might have been 88. We probably have met before. We used to be at every function there was. I never got over to Lansing much though,

Little John Sudan here, I think this could be a new start for me

We live in GR, Anyone else here?

Ok if we can't keep the thread going at least we will carry on a conversation between us.

Hope you get to GR sometime soon. Lena's busy season just ended yesterday (she's an accountant) and I am between busy seasons (I'm a climber). We live about ten minutes from the Hilton in East Grand Rapids. We've been here around 19 years now (wow, makes me think I'm old)

Anyway, call us when you are in town sometime

WB - I know the 11th Corps gal you were asking about. Her father owned a plane and was very well off. During Thanksgiving and Christmas he flew in and took her off for a quick get away who knows where.

She did do the entire Corps program. She never missed anything. She sang for a while in one of the bands on campus.

I don't think she was famous or at least I never heard of her outside of the Corps. Very nice person though.

We do a pitiful job when it comes to keeping this thread going.

They were in Phoenixville Penn. Anybody know anything about them? Jack was my best friend back in the 70's
