Sweet. And. Low(down).

I don't drink coffee at home. I often go to breakfast on Saturday and will have coffee, but I never make it at home.

Sometimes thinking of the coffee at work is the only thing that keeps me going down the interstate. Even if it is way over-priced.

Thank you for the reply, I'm touched.

Why the hell would you want to climb Everest? I think it's mental illness.

This is what it looked like over the weekend. 300 people attempted the summit. Staring at the ass of the guy in front of you for a day as you suck down the oxygen bottles and hope you don't die while your guide drags you up the final leg of the mountain doesn't sound like fun to me.

This article says that those doing it are so disoriented from the lack of oxygen, they don't even remember the experience.

People die in huge numbers, and the bodies are so difficult to recover, they just leave them there. So as you are climbing, you are passing all these corpses. Four died over the weekend, and they are having trouble identifying them and understanding what happened, because the fellow (300!) climbers were all so groggy from oxygen starvation. Crazy.

God's way of thinning the herd.

Considering there's quite a bit of paperwork involved with climbing to Everest's summit, one would think one of the required forms/items to take with you would be some kind of ID tags or patches with at least your name and country of origin that go on your outermost clothing or gear. I'm not sure exactly how you only get 'rough' identifications of people in a team set-up.

Apparently there are so many bodies all along the trail, they use them as landmarks. One of them with fluorescent green boot has been there since 1996 and is referred to as "green boots."

These bodies must be a useful source of food for the herds of yeti that live on the mountainside.

That's just stupid beyond stupid. At least with the running of the bulls, everyone else gets to watch you being an idiot.

I'm sure they all have cameras now. It would be cool if there was a way to do a global image search in all languages. I bet there are a lot of pictures out there on the web captioned "Me on the summit of Everest" in various languages.

Seniors choose to rike bikes to school instead of "pranking", are even sensible enough to get a poice escort, and are suspended for a prank. WTF?

Good lord.

I hope one of those seniors goes on to be a forestry major so he can come back to school and clearcut the forest of sticks up that principal's ass. JFC.

My vote? NOT a prank.

Omg. That is utterly ridiculous. :headshake

(Jumping off tired old planet of no fun allowed)

What are the odds the principal was either caught up in the back-up or had relations/business get caught in it?

probably pretty good. and that other students were also discomfited by the riders. **STILL** not a prank.
