the other chuck

an amusing bit from 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2007:

41. Chuck Norris

Charges: Only famous for knowing Bruce Lee. Churning out puerile "action" bilge for 30 years. Skill as martial artist greatly exaggerated. Kitsch value wearing thin. Total Home Gym®. Walker, Texas Ranger once let a little girl battle armed gangsters, because she had the power of belief in God. Doesn't understand evolution, despite access to mirrors.

Exhibit A: Campaigning for Mike Huckabee.

Sentence: Roundhouse kick from Charles Darwin.

merry xmas!

ok. after spending a couple of LONG days in an avalanche safety class, learning how avalanches are "dangerous" and often "deadly" and you want to "avoid them at all costs", i see this trailer:



granted, this guy (jeremy jones) has been riding steep stuff on a board for a while now but, seriously, what's the big deal ... just "ride it out" like jeremy? if the slab starts to move, point it? brah?

from an article in the seattle times on the increasing environmental impact of climbing in yosemite valley:

Rookie Ha Pham, 23, hopes to venture up it eventually, but said she was concerned the conditions she'd find wouldn't meet her standards.

"They should have signs and stuff and trash cans outside," said Pham, who climbs regularly in the safety of a San Francisco gym. "I don't think they even clean your rocks off for you out there."
