You have to have an account, then you can link playlists. Of course, you can always just copy and paste the URL for the song, I mean hell, it shows you it.

I, for one, have never heard it. I'm still not convinced it isn't something naughty.
If you've never heard that phrase then you've not read The Hobbit, for one thing. I envy you if you still have that ahead.

It's during the riddle game between Bilbo and Gollum: he solves Bilbo's riddle about eggs after remembering teaching his grandmother how to suck them.

This thread must not fall off the first page! I went to The New this weekend. Hey look it's me, climbing this wall: A hard one (5.11c), and my friend who led the route (I made it to that second pic, finishing the route is beyond my abilities)

Non-climber question time. Why try and go up (under..spidey..) the face where you're at instead of 8 feet to the right, where more of your torso would be over the lip?

A better question is probably "why climb the mountain at all?" I suppose the answer is similar.

You change your attack to differing degrees of difficulty to improve technique and skill. This opens the number of more technical climbs available to try in the future.

Ah, now that makes sense. A better question is probably "why climb the mountain at all?" I suppose the answer is similar.
"Because it's there/ I can" would have been an acceptable answer as I understand that mindset, but I like Nebu's better.

The goal isn't just to get to the top, it's to get to the top while following a general route that someone has already laid out and assigned a difficulty for.
I'm sport climbing; someone has created that route and put bolts in the cliff to clip into for safety. If you look in the second picture on the top, you can see other ropes about 6 feet over from where I am - that's a completely different route with a different difficulty rating.

I used to climb a lot. Didn't care for pre-planned routes or difficulty grading...or safety gear. Just go out, smoke a high-quality reefer and spend an afternoon climbing rock face. As is often said, I'm lucky to be alive.
Anyway, some daily(ish) pics. Was off last week, saw the Allman Bros in Saratoga, did some hiking north of there. Here's a sunny afternoon:

And a raging underground stream:

I would welcome a thread teaching me how to use my new DSLR better, and photoshop too.

It's called "clicking the autofix button" on picnik.

Most of the time if I'm trying to fix an exposure issue I have to create a duplicate layer and set it to screen. Rinse lather repeat.

Autofix usually solves some of the exposure problems, but sliding the exposure-fixing bar (followed by adjusting the contrast) does the rest. Trust me, I'm a terrible photographer.
