Hehe…i called my folks from the top of Space Mountain – it stopped when I was on it last. That was a hoot.
“Hey Mom, guess where I am?”

Thank God. That last ‘quote of the day’ was exhausting.
Quietly I wish nature would conspire in such a way as to reinforce my reactionary tendencies. But she won’t. She keeps letting things like this happen. I guess I need to break down and just go with it.
Fine, I’ll buy a flippin iPod.

PS: At least it was a Brit.

Geez, Allah. This is a pretty tame “quote of the day” for you. I can’t think of anyone who would be offended – except, perhaps, Algore who would respond that “global texting” is endangering our mountains which will be extinct in another 20 years unless we stop this assault on nature.

That’s an assault on reason.

Bad move dude. Always call the wife before the blog. Might as well stay on Everest cause the bedroom is gonna be colder.

Well, I think I have to come down on the side of annoying, but a huge safety measure. As one who often goes hiking alone for lack of someone to go with me, having cellular service out in the hinterlands is a good thing.
And annoying, true.

Are you not paying any attention to Al Gore?? Nature is dying because of $hit like this.
Also, I question the temperature quoted in that article – there’s no way it could have been below freezing, not with global warming the way it is. I doubt there really was snow up there – please, it was probably 70 degrees.

18 years old woman youngest to climb all ’seven summits’, including Everest.

Amelia Erhardt could not happen today. No matter where you are, there is something tracking you or you have a way to be tracked.

If I were the second-string wife in this little scenario, his crap would be strewn all over the lawn when blew back into town. He could pitch his widdle tent in the front flower bed ……....calling the blog first….PPfffttt…….

I’m with the ladies on this one. Anytime I’d been at sea for more than a couple of weeks coming into a port visit, the first move was for a phone booth. Not food, not even a restroom came before calling my wife.
It’s understandable, making this historic phone call a public thing to a blog. But to be quoted in an article that the call home was second… bad juju.

I’m gonna play the devil’s advocate here.
Maybe if she were better to him he would have called her first.
I’m just sayin’. Why is it always the guy’s fault.
SuperManGreenLantern on May 23, 2007 at 8:30 AM
This would have been my first call….”Hello Dominos, I’d like to place an order for delivery.” “My address, um the peak, Mount Everest.” “Humph, they hung up!”

“Hi honey, I’m standing where the real Hillary did, and words, in any language, can’t describe the thrill. I love you”
Entelechy on May 23, 2007 at 12:23 PM
So you’re saying you “rode Space Mountain?”
Whooooooo!!!!!
ScottG on May 23, 2007 at 12:32 PM
HEY LADIES, whadaya bet ol’ “SuperFly” here is SINGLE. No…on second thought…SURVEY SAYS: Bitterly Divorced!
dingdingding…
seejanemom on May 23, 2007 at 6:56 PM
Perfect :)
Nevertheless, I’m with you Lantern. In the words of my people, ‘damn straight!’
Axe on May 23, 2007 at 8:31 PM
You’re pretty good. :)
