How come no JT wide lovefest this year?
Hmmmm. What are you really looking for there, Greg? Off-Width, or Off-Limits? I'm already planning my costume for my next JT trip, but someone's going to have to give me the password to get me into that back room.

Great job, L. Single best ST post in a very long time.
Thanks!

Ghost, I think you just slip those ruby pumps on, close your eyes and click your heels together three times while repeating "there's no place like home" and the rest will happen

What about long red underwear? I was out on ST long before L outed you guys. Maybe that should get me grandfathered in as some kind of Desert Queen Emeritus or something. (Or do I put a few frills on the undies and hope to get grandmothered in?)
Remember my Definitive Canadian climbing & underwear thread? ( http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=759442&msg=759442#msg759442 )
I gotta admit L one-upped me with this latest adventure, but for a while I thought that my underwear thread was one of the high points of ST reportage.
See you in the back room, honey.

Soon it will be that hardly anyone can go down to Joshua Tree because the dress code will be too demanding. The Southern Sierra Domes will get really busy.

I'm thinking along the lines of 'Best Post Ever'.
Had me laughing out loud, repeatedly.
Thanks, L.

I’d just been spit off of Sphincter Quits—again—because yes, indeed, my sphincter had quit.
So here's the unresolved mystery from the opening of this perfectly clear thread:
How did Sphincter Quits do LSD so much harm?
My dim recollection from one trip up that rig is of placing a laughable amount of bad gear at the crux (yes, my second laughed) but I don't recall any flesh-eating jams. If there had been, wouldn't my gear have been better?
Or was there a fall involved?

Hahahaha! Chiloe, you read the fine print at the end! It was all fiction! Well, most of it, anyway. I just pulled SQ from my quiver cause the name made me laugh and worked as an opening.
I was out there that day with all those great folks--that's the only nonfiction part of the story, but I didn't climb a lick because of a back injury.
Soooooo...read the fine print! ;-)
Ghost: I'm beginning to think I've just made all your cross-dressing wide-climbing dreams come true...heh-heh-heh...
Wanna borrow that dress of mine?

And of course I did read the it's-all-fiction disclaimer, but (having been imprinted at a younger age by Gödel Escher Bach) I took the disclaimer to be self-referential like "This sentence is false." ;-)

Yeah, but Jim...Edzilla only had gnarly off-widths and drag queens in it. There were no trolls or controvery...so what do you expect? ;-)

I've been wondering that also.

Perhaps the best trip report ever! Who knew you needed a wide stance to climb the wide?
Thanks L.

The Mighty Em has finally weighed in!
I told those guys I wouldn't tell if they'd pay me off...but they could only scrap together a buck seventy-five...and a latte at Starbucks is $4.80 plus your firstborn...so...I TOLD. Hehehe!
Got to admit they do look good in heels, don't they? ;-)

I know who could've wrote that, if he were a woman, and alive today. Raymond Chandler.
I don't really know those people but thanks to you, L, now I feel I know them better than they know themselves.
