I would rather die trying to climb K-2 than Everest.

Human mind is by nature sadist. It is by nature voyeuristic too. It likes controversy and lives by it. And if we talk precisely of South Asian societies then we can easily conclude that it is the most argumentative society between the two worlds. It is impossible to find a man or a thing for which two different and contradicting views are not proposed. The same goes true with Mount Everest too. Almost every man you ask will give you his and her exclusive data on it. I am positive that during your tours to Nepal you will come across so many conspiracy theories and versions about Mount Everest summit and related facts that you will faint only to be woken by another bizarre version of the same. The current height of Mount Everest has been deduced to 8848 meters or 29,028 feet above the sea level. It was in 1852 that this giant was first measured. Some sporadic efforts for its measurement were done earlier too but all of them were abandoned in the middle. In the year 1852, The British Trigonometrical Survey of India measured Everest's elevation as 29,002 feet above the sea level. How could, with such limited means and such primitive instruments, anyone find the actual height of the Everest? But surprisingly, that figure was extremely close to the actual height. This remarkably accurate figure remained the officially accepted height for more than one hundred years. It was only in the year 1955 that this figure was slightly adjusted. The adjusted height was merely 26 feet adrift of the 1852 figure. The adjusted figure stands at 29,028 feet (8,848 m). In the year 2007, the Federal Government of China decided to initiate another drive to measure the height of the Mount Everest. It has been done keeping in view the availability of modern technique and equipments. Besides, due to global warming and its counter-repercussions, the height of various mountain peaks has varied from the established figures.

It's some good stuff, made by neeses. Its only found in the carolinas I think. havent seen it anywhere else, but its amazing. I get mom to ship me some out here every now and then. When you come, I will cook some up for you. You have to try everything at least once. I think you will be surprised.

Is this directed at me Mike? If so.... My favorite meal of all time would be buscuit and gravy, eggs over easy and bacon and liverpuddin. The worst thing I have ever eaten is not a food product, but I do not like tomatoes, grits, sweet tea or big fat dru beans.

Kudos Steve B. Good looking shirt. I am a fan of snow camo stuff.

I have been told to stay on the cheaper wines when starting out, if you dont like cheap wine, there is no way you will like expenseive wine. But I have no idea how true this is.

hmmm....I think it's something I would like to train myself to like and drink but I just cant do it yet, have not aquired that taste yet. I do try it every time I am out and people around me are drinking it, to see if I can finally do it, but it hasn't happened yet.

So, seriously, you're a wine drinker? Is swirling it before a sip a common practice and needed to enjoy it to it's fullest?

Pot meet kettle.

Sure, you won't be persecuted by me, but that might not be saying much.

Don't attack me!!!!!!

Yes Sir, I realized I misspelled that after the 45 second edit time of the title of the thread. Hopefully there will be a published thread from Scott on the feedback we were to give him and this will be one of the issues addressed. Longer edit time.

I am the exact same way.

This is a thread for us all to enjoy. I would like all to enjoy it but Corey. He has been known to be a flamer in the past. You know, flamer to other members, so he asked me to leave his thread earlier so I did and I made this one.

Please do not hi-jack this thread, thank you.

I can take about 2 sips before I am done with it. It doesn't tickle my fancy.

Yes Sir. I think you should go over with Tim and show him how it's done Leo. :cowboy:

2 times. Good luck buddy.

continue on

Hey Will, show this to your boy, I need a translation please............oh wait

That's not true Sir.

When my brother in law introduced it to me the first time, I thought it was going to be horrible but since I have never tried it before, I decided I had to in order to make a correct opinion about it. It was great. Another one he and I do is 2 cans of beer to one cup or orange juice. We normally do 6-8 beers in the jub and 3 cups of OJ. Normally this is done when we are sitting on the decks with out fathers talking about old stories in the mid morning. A very calm and easy drink that is pretty darn good.

Here is a good mid morning drink, football with buddies drink, or sitting around the smoker in the afternoon drink. Get a big pitcher. Pour 6-8 beers in. I use Keystone light. 1 can thing of Frozen Limeade a couple of shots of vodka or tequila. Pour into a cup and drink like an adult and responsible.

Posting this type of response is already over played in threads here on RT since all this stuff has happened in the past month.

Alrighty then. Disclaimer: This would be considered a joke. William will laugh, I will laugh, everyone else that has read threads in the past will laugh and we will all have a good day today. If you find this post wrong in any way, please erase the last 5 seconds of your memory back to the point to where your memory was before you read this post, if you still can not get over the fact you have no humor and are getting upset, please PM someone who will care. That is not me.
