Geez,  I unsubscribed to rec.backcountry a a couple of years ago because
it was being overrun by climbing stories and what do we get in soc.singles
but a climbing story.

This is about as far as many are probably going to get before they type "k".

We`ll I'm impressed.  Hey, he works out.  Are we going to compare biceps now?
Come on over here Charles.  Let's see you you rate with the new kid.

Carbo-loaded?  We'll so far this article belongs in misc.fitness, not in 
soc.singles, unless of course, you're merely trying to impress some "SF" with
your "finely tuned physique".

First reference to drugs, take note.  The D&S part is good though.

Did you get her phone number, huh,huh?

Hey, SF's, he's a big spender too.

ZZZZZZZZZ.. oof, huh, oh sorry? What were you saying?

I think I'll take the rest home.  I've been trouble getting to sleep
