  1. I have my employees wear a company staff shirt when they work. This way the customers know who to go talk to when they need something. My original idea was that our head wall supervisor on duty (I own an indoor rock climbing gym) would wear a red shirt. that way in case of an accident, people are psychologically wired to be attracted to red. Most mass casualty teams have the man in charge wearing red because people will look for and go to someone in red. I'm a ski patroller in the winter and we wear red jackets.

    So there is reason to my madness. Also I think our polo staff shirts look really sharp and give a professional image to our customers.

  2. They really need a liability waiver for anyone watching that video. Something like" I accept any and all responsibility for damage I cause by laughing my A$$ off while watching this video

  3. I think maybe climatic changes caused them to die off. Darwins idea of the survival of the fittest isn't that far off. They were probably a very strong animal, well suited to the cold but changes in the atmosphere was probably too much for them.

    A few years back Rhienhold Messner went out to search for the Yeti's and supposedly found them and observed their community but I think his life long aspiration for hypoxia may have caused him to dream the whole thing. He wrote a book about his search. I know him from climbing as we shared a rope together years ago. He is a strange guy but he swears the Yeti live.

  4. I never had any experience with the Moonies but once when I was in the Philadelphia airport going to the first Word in business conference the Hari Krishnas approached us. Their message to us was that sex for anything other than reproduction made us actual animals. pffft.

    A couple days later A was stopped at a light when a HOT girl jumped into my car and said "I have what you have been looking for your entire life" Amidst the drewel and other physical reactions - (Hey I was only 18 at the time give me a break) She told me about "The Children of God". Disappointment reigned supreme that day.

    We went to Des Moines right after our wedding. We had a total of $150 between us. I was so glad our wedding only cost us $200 and a tuxedo. I never gave Mrs. Out There an engagement ring and if I had I doubt she ever would have worn it. (She doesn't wear much jewelry). If our wedding had cost us anymore I doubt we would have had enough money for gas to get out of Emporia. We both really liked our "mass" wedding. yea we would probably do something different today but back then it was the best thing that could have happened to us.

    What I am trying to say is I liked our wedding and never would have changed a thing.we have been married for 24 years now. We only had two 'dates' before we were married and hardly knew much about each other. Some might call it a game of roulette that we played and won but we found we love each other very much and always did and always will. we are already talking about plans for our next anniversary.

  5. We were married in the Corps wedding 24 years ago tomorrow. It's been a wonderful 24 years for both of us. I thought our wedding was the coolest. Wrdsandwks. I worked photography during your corps weddings. I forget who I photographed but it was really nice. I'm glad I got to do it

  6. The pool in the gym was loaded with mattreses our first year. There was a secret walkway arranged in there along with a case of suds, I spent some time back there. great place to read, sleep, relax, choke down a warm one and not hear bless patrol say what are you doing here.

    I once visited the wooded area by the pond in an area that was full of Mulberry trees one evening with the gal that became Mrs. Out There. Both of us inadvertantly were wearing ALL WHITE. We didn't know anything until later when we were walking through a hall way and Richard Small stopped and looked at us and started busting out laughing. It seems a roll by the Mullberrys had left purple stains all over us. He was saying loudly "I Know no where (erehwon) you too have been". My advice to the the corps the following year when I was teaching a class was - Stay away from the mullbnerrys!

    The back forty was nice also

  7. I thought the blue pill was Viagra? are we talking about starting the way III?

    Gee Jonny, What would be so bad about be treated like a copped out clergyman? It's not like you have the clap or anything. It would give you an opportunity to do some bird flipping.

  8. I am feeling quite Punctuated today. I am already knighted. In other places I go by the name Sir Edmund Hilarious. So I am going to go to work today and Truncate my creditation and masticate my Erday fontonyarous while finding my self considering the great mysterys of the word Erehwon. Can anyone help me? What does Erehwon mean?

  9. I thought sand was fear in the machinery of life? I guess i'll get ostraphocated for that one. Maybe if I admitt that I have been Colon ifactataed all these millenium the naziphocators who have been fornicators will spare me from Auschwitz-ization.

  10. Mine is a picture of me climbing my favorite climb in the world. The picture was taken right after I had taken nine months off because of a Knee injury. I climb for a living and this says alot about me.

  11. What the Hey! I liked that statue, One night a few of us sat in the back forty with some beers and came up with a very short list of who was the model. The more we drank the more names were added to the list including DM and Ms Oens. it's amazing what 2 of those quart bottles can do

  12. I felt the same way you did. It was hard for me to believe that all this went on, and remember this was Pre-Cialis days. I'm sorry I still don't believe all but I am willing to listen with an open ear to anyone and I always try not to judge, condemm or in any way defend or deny (unless it gets what I think is too too far out of hand. I'm glad you are here and having been reading the threads. there is a lot of gold in here.

  13. Alas, the poor Timothy that modeled for that statue was deformed. I worked in Photography in-res and I remember the guy who was scalping it coming down amd pouring over pics of craiggers teaching, trying to find one dynamic enough to "touch hearts". Poor Tim ended up with one leg shorter than the other, and a torso that was out of proportions. The way I saw him he never should have survived childbirth. There wasn't too much fanfare when he was unwrapped. Maybe others saw the medical problems Timmy had and were worried about who was going to have to lay hands on him and later defend the lawsuit.
