Huge. That’s it. This is just huge. The Tarbaby’s shot above clearly was taken when the USB cables were down for the season. Must have been late autumn or a dry hot winter--- but don’t get me started on That. Excellent for a shot taken by moonlight, I have to admit. Stunning actually. Clearly they are in the act of a Sacred Rite involving secrets that cannot be generally told. Virgins of the Stone undoubtedly.
This is an image never before seen too, possums--- normally The Tarbaby as Matron of the Arts goes for something a bit more dazzling, perhaps one of Metolius’ latest that won’t even store in the overhead. Offsetting those rather unladylike outer appendages. But I suppose, trail of sh*t and all, a Rite is a Rite, and a girl has to put out at some point along that trail and midnight is midnight, just to put a point on it, you see. I think the group was hoping for something quite a bit more diaphanous, though Roy. You know? Less Madge more Miranda. Just saying.

You guys and gals are really going about this all wrong. The defining moment when your "pump" stimulates nirvana is simply acheived by cross dressing. Accesorizing is helpfull and adds to the overall mood, but don't step on the hem whilst leading...

Nuff said?

While we pause and give great thanks to Double D for his esteemed research,
I must differ with Mr Haan concerning fabric selection.
Although the diaphanous is highly regarded and nearly ultimately revealing but in a come hither sort of way, bordering on the luminal, suggesting a spiritual clarity as it might: a straightforward pink chiffon suits the exigencies of the wide.
No matter.
Once again we have quested, purported, pondered, and parried, all in hopes of plumbing the depths of these difficult questions.
What makes us do it?
Thanks for tabling the issue Lynne.
In conclusion, I find that it's not the pump, or any other mean estimation of some rude physiologic/psychodynamic cocktail: it's clear to me now that it is all about the pomp.
In the end it doesn't matter whether you win or lose!
It's how you look doing those things we love to do.
And you all look marvelous ... dahlink.
Hope to see you all soon, grooming over stone.

Ahhh, TB provided me my vindication. "Its how you look doing the things you love to do." Oh yes, yes, yes....
Take note any and all climber Dudes and Dudettes that have come by my room/site in JT to pick me up for climbing/partying and commented on the number of potions, bottles, tubes, beakers, machines, mirrors and other "what not" arrayed on the counter.
Tarbuster said it. :D

I try like crazy to catch ever single driplet from Tarb, possums, I really do! Madly searching back and forth, endlessly calling and waiting, hoping.... It’s hard being here, in this role, under the ole sink, huddled here with the plumbing and merely my dreams to assuage what may be left of those incandescent memories from time out of mind. Madge the charwoman, you see. That’s who I am now. No clue for fashion, rather a rube clearly. Hoping to catch here in these sore tender but oh so shopworn hands, the epiphany of a man whose wisdom always supercedes mine in such fashion as to blind all those standing in attendance, establishing a Kingdom On Earth. Thine will is my peace, my Lord.
So, forward here. Chiffon, gauzy, light, frisky actually. Diaphanous, too too luminal, in fact as T-B suggests, pilgrims, a clarity all too direct that would send us amiss in our relentless push towards our fundamental and eternal truths in Fashion. A Promise That Shan’t EVER be Answered!! And assuming silk in both cases.
It is always problematic, divining the Real. “Do I have it right” or “Do I have it wrong”? W’HERE is the one t’rue answer, W’HERE does one finally touch down to MAKE IT T’RUE? You see. As I said over there to that primitive, one Johno Stannard, on the scurrilous Oppenheimer Thread, “Fashion though entirely temporal is eternal...It really is rather simple”, it then behooves us to consider how to establish a king point when all we have is flouncy materials in and with which to work and bivy, all things a-flutter.
Here I think that we have something a bit more than a home movie; we get a sense that T-B has no answer.... “Bivy Fabrics”..... I am thinking, wait..... a new horizon. All here are assuming that TB, Mayfield and Fiddler reached the summit that day, but no, possums. No. They BIVIED on P3! I say Nay, I see no Pomp. No procession, no sending (pempein, grk) off or drama, as there they were those three, crinoline foundation and chiffon rosé wilted in the early damp morning air, finally having above them the last and truth-dealing pitch--- The Runway 5.11d R/X. Ever so toilsome but death-dealling as well, tons and tons of backstepping, dizzingly so actually. Striding forth, jaw set firmly, Come-Hither-ish, T-Baby brought it home and saved Western Civilization as we know it today, forming mountains and valleys as he went, reaching the anchors.

Makes perfect sense to me. Where did you find this gem, Tarbuster? I am psyched to begin the endorphin gig again. Da@%&m what a straight life I've led the last few years. Take me back to shiftless fun, not so much thinking as living the moment.
Billy, you became alive, you are alive still in the heavenlies.
We all need to get back to non reality and live it.
When did serious become a word in our vocabulary? It needs to be expunged and replaced with pure joy and the pump....of course.
Thanks for this Holiday gift Mr. Tarbuster!!!

Too funny Hoots: you actually sourced it!
I guess that's what we could call just a tad on the racy side. That probably wouldn't fly these days.
Pump it up!

Great topic Lynne! Great to see DR talking about his amazing research, as well.
Speaking of pump and endorphins:
A couple weeks ago, I sent an 5.11c project in the gorge. It took me 4 tries on top-rope over 3 different days before I was ready.
It is 70 feet long and slightly overhanging the whole way with almost all 5.10 & 5.11 climbing - and just enough bad rests to slow the breathing, but the pump clock was still ticking. The crux is at the top, of course.
When I got to the top after the first ascent, I was so pumped I could barely clip the anchors. When the pump receded, I was euphoric through the next day. Everything just seemed so right in the world - the feeling was incredible.

Aeriq, that's how I felt after doing my first (and last) highball. :) Of course yours was much more, on many more levels. Cheers and a large high five to you my friend!
