Oops. Wasn't there for that cocklett conversation. Should have just stayed
out of this one. Call me an idiot. I have no defense.
Yeah Bob, if you old dudes could stay awake past 8 pm you would've
caught it.
My nominations:
Scariest Fall: Gary Fike (Hope you're feeling well, you lucky bastard)
Most Amusing Wildlife Trick: Geoff Jennings for the Mexican Jumping
Mouse Trick. (If only I could dyno like that!)
Worst Handwriting: Name Witheld (but most of us know who you are)
Worst Food: I'll second the nomination for the Black Cat Cake. We all
looked like Depeche Mode groupies. (WHO brought that thing?)

That green humus! Was that yours or was that

I was at last years party, well sorta, my partner was sick so I spent most
of the evening sitting outside a tent. Anyways, last years party was kinda
subdued, but fun. This year however, was a completely different story.
I picked up the ever so lovely Gnar at Ontario on Friday night. We went the
way of luxury and checked into a hotel. Partied a little that night and
crashed. Saturday, with coffee in hand, and bagels that were an abomination
(these things were HUGE), we headed to the Cove. People were up and doing
the morning thing and wandering around introducing themselves to each other.
It was obvious that climbing was the order of the day.
Soon everybody was on their way to climb. Since I am still nursing a trashed
ankle I got left behind waiting for my partner to show up (sniff) . We
decided to drink beer all day and climb on Sunday. That way I wouldn't
totally ruin what's left of my ankle. We were pretty polished by about 3
P.M. I was sitting in this chair, head tilted back, imitating death and
waiting for rigor to set in. Dan's wife Lisa got a big kick out of this. An
hour or so later Mike Esparza showed up with his wonderful family, and I
spent a little time with him while Dan & Lisa took off to town for dinner.
Around 5 or so, Inez shows up and is ready to head back to the hotel for a
shower and a quick burger. We stopped by the store to pickup desert. Two
pies, one apple, one cherry. One was barely touched because it sucked, the
other one is still fermenting in the back of my Jeep. It should have eyes by
tomorrow. We rolled into the Cove around 7 or so and the party was well
under way. Jean gets costume of the year award. She came as a milk carton.
On the back of the carton she had cut a hole for her face with a sign over
her head reading "Have you seen me?". It was a classic, complete with UPC
bar code. It's fairly difficult to really recount the party, all's I can
really say is that it was a RAGER. This sucker was hoping. I haven't been to
a party this much fun in years. So all of you who bailed or missed it, lost
out on an incredible time, with a wonderful group of people. Everybody got
along great. There was allot of mingling. Rex walked into the party wearing
black pants, black shirt, Cleatus teeth, and big webbed feet. Proclaiming
loudly, who ever can guess what I am gets a beer. Now, I have never won
anything, so this was my big chance to set the record straight. My first
guess was The Creature from The Black Lagoon. Wrong. Then someone mentioned
a duck. Close, but not right. Rex mentioned kids stories. Someone else said
"Howard the Duck?". Wrong. Then, in a haze, I mumbled "The Ugly Duckling".
BING, I finally won something. I instantly demanded my coveted prize. I can
now die in piece.
I will let someone else recount the Cocklett Personality. It was very funny.
Jean made wonderful little death bombs known as Jell-o Shooters. I shouldn't
have to give much detail here. Take two, fall down, and call a Dr. in the
morning. At one point towards the end of the evening I stumbled over to Rex
and he inquired, "How ya doing?". I responded in something resembling
speech, "I'm shtrashed.". He responded, "ee oo". I think he meant me too!
Inez and I bailed around 11:30 or so (she was designated driver), I think
it's obvious I was plastered.
Sunday morning came, I was not feeling my best. We headed back to the Cove
and thought that we would see a re-enactment of Jones Town. Much to our
surprise 1/4 of the group had already packed up and left. I couldn't believe
Jean was looking oh so chipper. I just wanted to cry. Inez, GeoffCJ, Dan,
and myself took off for the Short Wall. I wanted to do something easy to see
if my ankle would hold up. It did. Dan and I did S.O.B., a short 5.6 crack.
Fun climb. He lead, I followed. When I got down, my ankle started to get
soar. That was it for me. Mean while, Inez and GeoffCJ were doing another
Josh sandbag 5.7+ Calcutta. GeoffCJ did the lead, and Inez followed in her
normal solid fashion. Man can that women climb! We then headed around to the
Feudal Wall where Inez lead Court Jester 5.7, GeoffCJ followed and cleaned.
With anchors set, Dan top roped The Castrum 5.10a which looked damn hard to
me. GeoffCG also did this route. Both looked kinda cooked at the end.
The weather had been absolutely beautiful all weekend although a bit on the
hot side. We then decided to sit around drink a beer or two and talk. Around
4:00, Inez, GeoffCJ, Dan & Lisa, and I took off to town for dinner at the
Thai restaurant. We had a wonderful meal and parted company.
It was a great weekend, with great group from wrecked.climbing. If you
didn't make it, you missed out. See ya next year, and the year after that,
and the year after that etc. etc. etc.

Geoff "too much fun"
Haha.
Actually, it was the other Bob who somewhat petulantly advised those Bad Boys
to stop raining burning debris down on his site. When they became even more
belligerent and began taunting us (they may have said "I fart in your general
direction") I wisely decided to dialogue with them in the language they could
understand. Such as, "shut the fuck up, muthafucka, before we bust a cap in yo'
punk ass" and other urban colloquialisms that I knew they would grasp. While we
were sharing compliments with one another, Bob retreated to the phone and
called the rangers, who advised the MP's. All was soon quiet and I was saved
from a serious butt-kicking.
I could say my behavior was a result of hitting my head, but that didn't happen
until Sunday.
I've got to use my Cocklette more.
Gary
I do believe it depends on how you insert them.

Oh my God!!! Let's just says that THAT stuff had a terrible impact on

As Rex informed me on the drive home that my cyber-personality
is "the quirky chick that writes poetry and knows Python trivia",
I feel compelled to add that I'm pretty sure I heard one of the
Marines say "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt
of elderberries," followed by a cry of "fetchez la vache." Luckily
there were no cows on hand...

The rangers did more than Advise the Marines, they dragged them off. When Is
howed the young members of our finest fighting force were looking a bit
sheepish as the rangers made them pack their gear before removing them from the
premises...their car sat there still on Sat morning...
Wouldn't have happened if only they had used their cocklet more prudently...

Cocklets at the crags? Yes or no?

the "...coming out..." that I made reference has to do with a little

day, but not without enduring a severe headache! That jaeger has
always smoked my butt! I guess some of us never learn...

Good Grief,
Dave.
This may be true, but he still had to be able to READ the writing of
this person. And since he shared it with the rest of the group, he
should be the one who has the expertise.
Although there was quite a bit of rudimentary dialogue coming out of
people...you know, one griping how he couldn't unzip his Target
Spiderman costume, so I guess there could be room for error on the
spelling front.

I'm sure that being able to decipher the rudimentary scribbles of a
person who more than likely was educated by the public school system
just warmed the COCKLES of his heart.
BTW, what up with all the group dialogue going around? After the
COCKLET/COCKLETT/COCKLETTE (whatever) I totally lost track of whatever
was being said to me or done (I think).
I thought you could get belts to prevent that kind of thing?

>My nominations:

That goes hand in hand with:
Best Belay: Rex Pieper (for throwing himself downslope to keep Gary's
head off a ledge).
Wendy
You just had to figure out a way to get that "rudimentary dialogue" in,
didn't you?! Tough crowd! Speaking of tough, that little tangent you
took on Sunday appeared to be quite a tough one!
Oh, and for the record, I tried Target first, but all they had was
junior size Spiderman suits, so I went to Party City. Got a bargain
too...and, I can attest to the suit sleeping great, didn't even know it
was on. One word of caution though...don't leave it zipped up all the
way if you anticipate having to pee and you are all alone. How do you
women do it?
spiderman
I thought slow was good...
They were left to me by my dear departed second cousin (once removed) and have
immeasurable sentimental value. I hope nobody puked on them.
Give them back.
Gary
I've got them, they were still around on sunday when everbody had cleared out,
or so I thought, so I picked them up....Give me an address and I'll ship then
to you, unless your gonna be at J-tree in the next couple weeks...

So if some of you who attended don't know what it is, why
not just post the original documentation and see if some of
us who weren't there and weren't incapacitated by the

nice try, danny, boy. slick, even, but it won't work.
see, we let goeff try to figure it out while tormenting mice, eating
cats, and shooting jello--but he couldn't. the next morning (when the
fog had cleared, well for most of us) we all tried, and found it
clearly impossible, even though we saw, read, and bore witness...
it wouldn't be fair of us to torment you the same way.
you really needed to be there.

Geoff et al,
I am planning to hit JT over Thanksgiving. I heard some of you mention
Sunday morning that you were planning to come out then too. I am
bringing three of my friends along. Any idea as to who is coming
along, and is/has reserved sites? Let me know if I can assist.
My friends and I were kicking around the idea of cooking the turkey
with a smoker.
