I have jeans that must be over 25 years old. Of course they are all worn out in the crotch and my kok hangs out - but at under 30 bucks, you can't knock the value.

Christ. MrX wears out his knees. Mudcat wears out his crotch. Mudcat wins again.

Dear MrMonkey, I am aware of all the innuendos in the above statements. No need to point them out.
 
This topic of being proud for odd reasons reminds me of my friend Bert. He is very proud of things he doesn't like.

For example he hates Julia Roberts so much he will absolutely refuse to see any movie with her in it. It doesn't matter how much I tell him that Charlie Wilson's War is very worthwhile despite her - he will not see it.

Same goes for anything by Spike Lee or Oliver Stone. And he gets a hate going for certain athletes - such as Mario Lemieux and Eric Lindros. If there was a pool, he would refuse to take them.

Another one of his grudges: Steven Spielberg. He will not watch a Spielberg movie. It has been that way for a long time. He has not seen Saving Private Ryan or Schindler's List - and he is proud of it.



Which is all fine I guess. I mean it's dumb; closed-mindedness is not something to be admired but you know, whatever.

But he's so proud when he talks about these things.


Weirdo.

MrX, get the hell out of the lab a bit! That was like 2 weeks ago. And really had nothing to do with you!

Buit since your an experienced woodsman, what is your leaf of choice out there in Colorado?

Random question, what was the most unusual thing you used to clean yourself?
 
I don't like Julia Roberts either - at all - but I am only punishing myself if I flatly refuse to watch anything she appears in. She was in Charlie Wilson's War which is a great movie. The Player. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was kind of entertaining. Michael Collins had some value.

What do I profit if I close my mind completely to Julia Roberts? Would I teach her a lesson?

Nay.

I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

I draw the line at discussing my back-country hygiene practices on gamelive. You have a better chance at getting a TP-roll picture out of me.

Yeah, that was a bad intestinal time for us. Giaradia can really take a person and their sensibilities down a peg or two.

Normally I do not talk about these things but, this cracks me up so much, it's worth the embarrassment.

At one point on the trail we both got the parasite with gives you the most awful gas, painful cramps and....well, all that other stuff that happens. It's not awesome to begin with, and even less awesome in the middle of the woods.

At this point on the trail we were sleeping in a bivvy. Basically a nylon-ish sack built for two. It was late in the day and we were setting up for bed and I was miserable and crampy and to put it polietly, not making the communal sleeping area a very good place to be. Mr. X wanted in, but I had the fabric draped around my body and held tightly and wouldn't let him. I remember laughing and screaming loudly, "Do not release the flaps! DO NOT. RELEASE. THE FLAPS!"

Oh, it was awful.

It was so bad. I had (have?) a pretty big hangup about bodily functions of the excretion kind, and not having others be privy to them. Growing up in a household that did not value privacy in the bathroom or otherwise left an imprint. My mom still finds joy at expressing all kinds air expelling sounds at the top of her lungs and other organs in public and amongst family.

Here's a pic from when we finally got off the trail and and got a few recuperation days. Mr. X fared far worse than I did.

I actually didn't come here to tell this story. I just came to randomly thought report that the punishment computer is shocking me pretty severely every third to fifth time I touch it. The new one is on the way. Checking the tracking number RIGHT NOW....ouch.
