Guess he needs a pet.


Oh....they always say that.

Ahhh....the old "bring your IPOD" ploy.....classic.

JIF.....choosey mothers always choose it......

Here's a suggestion....why not use some of that excess peanut butter you have hanging around, and put it on those jelly sandwiches.....then you can have some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.....
That's what she said.


I knew going to that Ivy League college would come in handy.

But can you tie a Don Knotts?

How long you had a license?

S&M........

Gimli would be proud.

Let's not go there.

Great movie.

I once had one week to bus....but that's another story.

I don't see why not....it's not like you're leaving the country for several months to climb the world's most dangerous mountain or anything.....remember to put on your sunscreen.

Guy i work with claims I can tag along on his big climb up K2. Says he has all the gear I would need. I was told to just bring my IPOD and some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Problem is I have very little experience as a climber. I can tie some basic knots and can drive my spiked boots into the mountain but I can't always pull myself up. I have 2 weeks to train, should I go ahead with this?

I was a professional mountaineer and guide for 18+ years, including three years in the Himalaya.

First, your friend is a lying fool and is very (re: DANGEROUSLY) misguided. He is giving you ******** information that runs counter to the reality of the mountain, and he sounds like the prime example of the idiots who figure they have the money so they can buy the summit.

I have no tolerance for this, and frankly, if you decide to go you will die. No joke, no hyperbole, no anger; this is just pure experience and honest statement given to you to save your life.

I have been to the summit of three 8000+ summits and it is no place for anyone, even professionals. But for your friend and you to even think of K2 is irresponsible ego-stroking at best, suicidal at worst.

I wouldn't get too concerned. He's infamous for his trolling. The only thing true about braindamage is his moniker. I doubt he's climbed the summit of a flight of stairs let alone K2.

EDIT: oh his name is braincrusher, not braindamage. Brain Damage is another poster. Sorry, other poster.

Actually, braincrusher climbed dozens of summits with lawnmower powered jetpacks. He kept warm by dragging along an electric heater, he lived off of fried chicken and waffles and kept the sharks at bay with his high pitched voice. braincrusher taught the best mountaineers everything they know.

Considering that he started posting here at the Hype about Dr. Strange....and his last post 13 days later was here in this thread....I don't think your theory holds up.
 
What happened to the mowing at 7 a.m. thread? I posted a picture I drew last night and now its gone. I wasn't warned or anything so it wasn't me as far as I know.
 
Eh? You know this one is not his A material. He needs to get back to the Electic Heat Girl like stories. Or the shamwow one, that was brilliant. This one is just "meh". Not feeling it.

ah, leave him be... his threads are always good for laughs... as well as those who don't realize or know any better...

I thrive on this guy's lunacy every so often... :hehe:
 
I like him because he trolls and then leaves. He's not incessant in his own threads, making the funny aspect of it stick more.
 
I'm putting together a Superhero Hype expedition up K2. Who's in?
