Dude climbs tower 1,700 feet in the air

Damn, I go to NHL games and think all the time of swan-diving over the boards and slew-footing Chris Pronger. Glad I'm not alone.

 

Just make sure you're not wearing your red socks.

 

I've imagined driving on a two-lane road, going temporarily insane for just a second, and swerving into the oncoming lane for a head-on collision. Luckily my sanity hasn't shown any propensity for such glitches, at least not yet.

 

Yeah, but if I fuck up Junior Olympic track agate, I'll still get home at night and wake up the next day.

 

I'm not overly gung-ho about them. I've never hunted, never shot anything other than a paper or clay target. I'll never own a gun. But I have fired hand guns, shot guns and rifles, mostly thanks to my experience in Boy Scouts.

Doing it well is a skill, just like anything else. And it's a badass feeling the first time you drill the aluminum can or turn a clay pigeon to dust -- especially if you use a pump-action shotgun.

But I digress. I too have thought about yanking the gun out of an officer's holster. I think most of them anymore have a leather strap that goes over the top of the gun, so if you wanted to test your luck you better be sure to unsnap that first.

 

How do they not get blown off with a big gust?

 

I'm sure their company has wind limitations. For example, no one climbs above XXX feet when winds are above XX knots.

 

That makes sense, but can't a gust just kinda pop up?

 

Still creeps me out thinking about it. I'm not much for Youtube comments, but there's one in response to the line about there not being a quick way down if a storm blows in "Oh, yes there is."

 

When Grand Theft Auto III first came out, I swore one of my buddies loved that game so much, I was expecting him to go on a rampage in his car at some point.
