"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Lucky boy...In 20 years of climbing, I've read of far more incidents incurred by peak-baggers while glissading than anything else. Man, when are people gonna learn it's just NOT SAFE? Glad you got away with it this time...
