I have no horse in this race at all, but this made me laugh my ass off:

FortMental wrote:Sign up now for the Way of the FortMental For 3 payments of $3,300, I will explain how you can enjoy sending "Astroman" with nary a second thought.

First I'll explain how and why you need to lose 40 pounds. Revel in giving up microbrewed beers, fine wine, and imported cheeses.

Next, we'll focus on working out. Full time. We'll enjoy giving up sex, our kids, and our jobs as we focus on cycling 3 hrs. per day. Walking another 3 hours per day through mountains pinching cinderblocks in each hand.

We'll also spend time campusing and hanging from overhung offwidths with weights hung from our nutsacks.

Following a strict diet of puddle water and old pemican, we'll then boulder full time for 2 years, starting from V0 all the way to V12. When you are physically able to routinely on-sight, solo 5.13c, we'll rope up and you will lead "Astroman" thoroughly enjoying the journey as you cruise through the Harding Slot, never fearing falling or returning to your old lifestyle of fear, sloth, women, alcohol, books, and money.

Send me money, now.


And so did this:

The longest whipper you ever took is every morning when you fall out of your bed, right into the puddle of puke, totally hungover.


Carry on!

I like that! Motivational Speaking in reverse: take lessons from everyday experience and apply them to your climbing! Only a pleistocene holdover like you fails to see the irony in that!


Not "from".

Rather, "For".

Big ass difference for all the masses out there that are completely lost in the mix of today's me, myself and I society that pleistocene's as myself, still hold out not conforming to.

But then I don't expect people as yourself that are completely in that modern "REI MAN" social mix, to even come close to getting. Evidenced by your so eloquent wanna be "Help, I've fallen into my own drunken puke and can't get up!" prevailing attitude.

Now that is funny...so very ignorantly funny.

You young lad live in SF, therefore you are of Chinese descent and are gay, right!

Rick, surely you have seen this passage from The Rock Warrior's Way -

.. if you live by the Ego, then you can count on being offended or defensive for the rest of your life. You will constantly be tricked and trapped into doing idiotic things and wasting power.


Does this remind you of someone ? :)
