"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."

Trip Report Comment1) Yes: Stick to the trail! What were you thinking??
2) I'm not usually one to back up what is considered "PC," but don't you feel inappropriate using a phrase like "give up and look like a pussy," which, simply put, means "give up and look like a woman? How pointlessly insulting to all the capable and brave female climbers out there!
3) You dad's obviously in pretty good shape. Bully for him!
