- could Sir Edmund Hillary have graced the cover of Sports Illustrated for scaling Everest? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 13:00
- It's just an activity. You might as well ask is hoovering a sport. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 12:58 1
  - Hoovering? I'm good at that. -- nm - Megan Fox si Jan 6, 12:59
- Athletic endeavor. (nm) - musubi Jan 6, 12:57 4
  - though the losers in mountain climbing tend to lose more than losers in almost other athletic endeavor/sport - crash davis Jan 6, 13:02 3
    - yeah, the clock judges Competitor A to have gone quicker. The scoreboard judges Person B to have more runs - Will Hunting Jan 6, 13:05 2
      - oh, this is about baseball, isn't it. FYI - you'll never find a mountain climber who only does it if people are watching them. - Guy Jan 6, 13:07 1
        
        its not about baseball, nor is it about trying to "gotcha" Will. I do agree with your statement on climbing and watching. -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 13:11
- Athletic endeavor. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 12:57 9
  - there are actual adventure races which are something like this -- (link) - Guy Jan 6, 13:00 8
    - Those are sporting competitions. I acknowledge that. Just climbing a mountain though...not really in my mind - Will Hunting Jan 6, 13:02 6
      - well, crash didn't really specify whether this was casual or not. you can play any sport in a non-competitive, un-judged format -- nm - Guy Jan 6, 13:05 4
        
        Yeah, we call those practice. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 13:07 3
        
        then why doesn't mountain climbing qualify? you do it for fun or for competition - like everything else - Guy Jan 6, 13:09 2
        
        How do you win a mountain climb in competition? - Will Hunting Jan 6, 13:11
        
        are the competitions sanctioned by a governing body, with consistent rules applied to all participants? -- nm - znufrii Jan 6, 13:10
      - It's like sailing. Sailing down the coast to San Francisco? Not really a sport. Racing from Victoria to Maui over the span of 14 days? Mucho sporto. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 13:03
    - here's another -- (link) - Guy Jan 6, 13:02
- [deleted] 2
  - Right, unless some kind of time limit is introduced... -- nm - Ender Jan 6, 13:01
  - sure it is. there very competitive as to who climbs how many and under what conditions, etc - Guy Jan 6, 12:59
Gilbert Arenas has been suspended indefinitely without pay. No link, just on ESPN news. -- nm - Krusty Jan 6, 12:56 4

Will, I answered on B2, I'm not really talking about Edgar and the IOC. I'm talking about you changing your arguments. -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 12:51 4
- CQ made a good comment about the strike zone in that thread. They all get a chance to adjust over the course of the game. - Beryllium Jan 6, 12:55 1
  - well, they can adjust to a partial extent - in the example I used talking to ML. Greg Maddux can keep hitting that outside spot where the no-name - crash davis Jan 6, 12:59
- What argument? I trash talked you saying 2:1 vote against by the experts. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 12:53 1
  - argh, okay...I'll end and just agree with your post here. You do talk trash ;p -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 12:55
stream of consciiousness (john adams below) - I wish Neil Adams was still doing some main stream comics (maybe he is but I dont know) -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 12:51 2
- he's not. Neal is in advertising game these past few years. but he says he's working on a 100 page Batman Graphic novel. And he does some art pieces. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 12:54 1
  - Out of all her created new - I loved Megalith -- nm - Capstern Jan 6, 12:59
Sweetness, John Adams has arrived from Netflix. *puts dvd into Playstation* -- nm - CQ Jan 6, 12:49
Happy Porn Day! 4chan uploads a bunch of porn to YouTube in protest over their action in removing a user. -- (link) - nubby Jan 6, 12:48 1
- Watch Sony try and remove the audio from them due to copyright violations. -- nm - Qale Jan 6, 12:51
i disagree with Spawn re: House of M - it has some pretty epic ramifications - Guy Jan 6, 12:48 23
- As I said, pretty huge end result. I don't like alternate reality stuff. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 12:51 10
  - i saw it as Bendis's way of starting fresh... i dont think they could have segued into the bigger stories without it (spoilers) - Guy Jan 6, 12:57 9
    - But it was how many pages to give us the one big change? - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 12:58 8
      - I thought it was a fun adventure myself. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 12:59 7
        
        Just saying, the mountain of reading and $ in front of him... -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:01 6
        
        oh I gotcha. I still think it's a needed puzzle piece -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 13:01 5
        
        You know, I think I read, maybe, 30% of it. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:03 4
        
        plus, id have to read it again, but i remember a lot of questions being answered - Guy Jan 6, 13:10
        
        it wasn't really an alternate reality though (spoilers) - Guy Jan 6, 13:08 2
        
        Still alternate. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:10 1
        
        ala Age of Apocalypse. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:10
- OK - well I will read all the DC first - they are still my favorite company (for the most part). SO GL stuff first then flash then Marvel - wanna - Capstern Jan 6, 12:50 4
  - Are you talking Marvel Zombie or Walking Dead? -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 12:55 1
    - Oh, I assumed Marvel. You are right, Walking Dead can make you lose sleep. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:00
  - the zombie books aren't scary - just hilarious (and clever). only the first 2 were good though -- nm - Guy Jan 6, 12:55
  - The zombie's are in a different universe (mainly). - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 12:53
- id also strongly recommend reading the Bendis Daredevil series - Guy Jan 6, 12:49 6
  - I own both the Omnibus for the Bendis run. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 12:57
  - Bendis is pretty much the gold standard. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 12:52 4
    - Alias is the only thing of his that I thought was special. He's no Vaughn or Simone. -- nm - David Jan 6, 13:00 3
      - *sigh* -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:01 2
        
        For years, you tell me I should be reading this stuff and when I finally do, you resent me for talking about it. You're strange. -- nm - David Jan 6, 13:06 1
        
        His Avengers stuff is stellar. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 6, 13:11
Groiny, I will let Dunn's career play out....he probably gets to 500...but it might not happen - Will Hunting Jan 6, 12:47 7
- [deleted] 3
  - yes, however, he did increase his batting average by a significant margin this year. - groiny Jan 6, 12:52 2
    - Didn't they modify Nats park this year to make it more neutral? (link) - musubi Jan 6, 12:56 1
      - For Adam Dunn, I do not look at the hit factor, I look at the home run factor. - groiny Jan 6, 13:06
- Dunn *one* guy I can think of whose HOF chances would actually improve if he were a DH. - musubi Jan 6, 12:49
- dude is the same build as he was when he came up. - groiny Jan 6, 12:48 1
  - His batting avg as a whole is the worst iirc of legit HOFers. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 12:54
[deleted] 3
- I agree, but I'm saying its important to winning a game...a called third strike vs a walk preceding a dinger changes the score - crash davis Jan 6, 12:50 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Thanks for the recommendation. -- nm - crash davis Jan 6, 12:52

After seeing the red band Kick-Ass trailer featuring Hit Girl, I really wonder if that doesn't amount to child abuse/endangerment. - Mop (227 lbs) Jan 6, 12:44 3
