Green ain't your color. Nice red purse, though.

I wish I was kidding.

It's midnight on a Saturday; I am stuck in the mountains with no bud or friends. Ergo I am flipping between Ocean's Eleven on TNT and this movie on AMC. Here is what I've seen so far. 1. A camel - NOT CRAP 2. A dude playing with mashed potatoes and then breaking down in tears - CRAP 3. About a colle...

I definitely see your point, but I'd take any outdoor obsessive over your average college student/businessman/drummer any fucking day of the week. I've met a lot of climbers in my day and they're generally repulsive, but at least we can share a joint and talk awkwardly about nature. And as a rule yo...

Anyone else attending? Show yourselves!

I'll be there both nights. And I mean "there" in the physical capacity alone, of course.

What kind of smoke? Sneaking about like a pusillanimous 15 year old hiding the habit from his parents is kind of a CRAP reflection on the employer. I dunno. Let's call it NOT CRAP because I understand it can be a necessity. But getting stoned on the clock? Pretty fucking NOT CRAP when you're a teena...
