Nothing. I just don't like the word.

Kings and queens of the derail, we are.

Oh, bummer! I did know that, it has just always irritated me to be lumped in with a bunch of "better than thou" vegans.

So now puking is healthy. That must make bulimia the ultimate health trip. My point was that vegetarians are all about: " The pooooooooooooooooor animals" I've killed my share and then some, just didn't eat any of them. Don't mind me, Mick. It is New years ewe. The wife is working, so I'm...

"Moral, religious or health reasons" Where do I fit in. I don't eat meat because it makes me puke. Always has. I consider that a major handicap. It really sucked big time during my travelling years. I raised calves for a long while on my grass land here on the old homestead, slaughtered...

Yup, the red haired thing is a joke. It started way back when I worked for the State forest service. I trained all the apprentices for the region and absolutely refused to take on tobacco smokers. So one of the local foresters told me that it wasn't legal to discriminate like that. My...

Sean, Me using BMI to discourage prospective apprentices, does not mean I belive BMI is an accurate measurement, it simply means that I probably can't get away with saying fat boys need not apply. There is a certain amount of PC in this country as well. Also, for the 200th time. I'm not a...

Sean, I have logged for 40 years, more or less. Always to scale, never paid by the hour. Done high level karate for 43. Never eaten meat, fish, poultry or eggs. So, please tell me again what it is you can do that those who don't eat meat can't?:D

It is unpractical and also pretty stupid. We, as a species, were made both herbi and carnivorous. Claiming otherwise is something one can get away with in our part of the world, where getting enough to eat is no problem. Quite the opposite, in fact.

BTW, I'm not a vegetarian. I just don't eat meat. Huge difference.

Then why did you hire him? I got tired of having fat, out of shape guys and gals show up for trials for apprenticeship with us. Last time we had to go through 6 before we found one worth working with. He graduated last week and is now hired by us. That is why I started simply saying, BMI over...

Nor should you. They suck! Especially the red haired ones.

And being 70 pds overweight doesn't matter a bit. Sorry, I stand corrected.

Not just what in the States of course? Slipping standards or PC.

My point, Butch, is that Americans are generally so fat today, that they look at fat people as being normal. When we went to climb Sequopias in 2011, the boys really wanted to eat some MEAT afterwards. When we came out to the coast, they found a place called; " Big Bubba's bad barbeque". They...

Support for what? Grossly overweight guys deciding to enter jobs where you have to be in shape in order to achieve anything. Sorry, Patrick, I'm not American. That means two things: To me being 5' 11" and weighing 280 pds is not normal. It is being obese. Obese people have no place in climbing...

Ok, so treework is just about getting up the tree. Guess I must have been doing it wrong all these years.

Guess I'll start looking for a one armed person with no legs to be my next apprentice, then.

Happens all the time. Blame it on the 8 hour time difference:lol:

You'd have to be strong as hell to manage that much weight in a tree. That is with two good knees. Apart from the difficulty with moving freely in the crown, standing in spurs and blocking a stem down would kill your knee. When I look for new apprentices, I tell right away that we won't take...
