when i had that lombotamy a few years back - the drs said i should wear a helmet for almost everything i do. i did until the sutures and skull gaps closed but now that my hair has grown over them - i dont really like to wear one and mess my hair up. i guess i could wear one climbing if i could remember where i put the darn thing, and rember where my house is and who i am and my job and all that other stuff too. dang, what were we talking about - i forgot.

Verm must have had a close call - that or he's gettin old. At a certain point we all end up full circle back to being a gumby. Its a perfect circle.

In Gooberville, of course!

We don't need ropes or protection. We just fly off and land on our heads.

safety is safety is safety. you do have a choice to protect YOURSELF as much as you feel. however, you make the wrong choice and if it gors down all thoughts after are ..........ca...........car.........................car.i....b......ea.....nr................

yeah, that's much cooler than a helmet. shit happens, stack the cards. if you don't want to; FINE. if someone else does; FINE. if they are taking precautions so that i don't have to be part of something horrible,(for their mistake or others) then PLEASE by all means wear a helmet if you see fit. FUCK what others think. your life.

don't condescend others for SAFETY. everything else is fair game. safety is not a laughing matter.
