Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Iron Man should just be scotch, rocks. No mixers and fruity shit to dilute it.

Holy cow, this is awful. This is the worst climing season on Everest since 1996 (that's the year Into Thin Air was written).
Eleven people have died so far, and not because of the weather: [link]

Yeah, yesterday I saw an article about that, along with a photo showing a huge line of people climbing to the summit.

After 1996, I saw an interview with Alex Lowe, who was one of the premiere mountaineers in the world, and he basically said that it was irresponsible to be a commercial guide above 8,000 meters. The conditions were too unpredictable and hazardous, and anyone climbing should be required to have developed the skills and experience to protect their own lives. You end up with guides risking the lives of their clients and themselves in order to provide "the experience", which is exactly what happened in 1996.
Lowe died some years later, in an avalanche in Nepal.

Yeah, it's kind of amazing that the 1996 season changed nothing. (I was thrown out of a Quickie Mart in 1996 when I picked up the Outside magazine with the article that became Into Thin Air and stood there reading it for, like, 2 hours.)

Mom, Dad, I Have Something To Tell You. I'm Black.
Is it harder to be black or to be gay? Wanda Sykes has an opinion on that.

Oh, and there was a climber who was determined to bring his bicycle to the summit. (He wasn't allowed to.)
