I prefer an entire mountain under my feet to a steel ladder Every. Time. Won't catch me tower climbing or riding a velocipede across a rope above Niagara Falls 
What I can speak to is the shock of holding the belay as the person on the other end of the rope falls. In truth I trust my old climbing partners way more than I will ever trust most people I meet in daily circumstance.

Very cool! I acted in around 15 productions over several years, including a few musicals. I think Music Man was my favorite, if for no other reason than I convinced the director to let us march the 76 Trombones finale through the audience, like in the movie. He agreed. It was a big hit! Of course, the aisles in our 700-seat theater weren't street width, but it was a blast anyway. This is a sort of just kidding statement, but my favorite non-musical was Death Of A Salesman. I had the stage to myself a lot of the show. I was in no position to judge, but at least the opening night reviews didn't kill the remaining shows.Am I the only one here who's played Curly in one production and Jud in another?Gittin' old is heck!

The only time I've ever taken to the stage ad an adult is with my bass. Uncertain what that says. 
Uncertain if the word "adult" is appropriate, either 
Uncertain if the word "adult" is appropriate, either When that Bruce Willis movie about the kid who sees ghosts "I see dead people" came out, a young lady bartender I used to know had a t-shirt that said "I see stupid people".

I'm a 68 year old 14 year old.The only time I've ever taken to the stage ad an adult is with my bass. Uncertain what that says.
Sadly, there's more truth to that than you might imagine. Brain injury. American football. A month after I turned 14. Stopped growing. Still 5'10". My younger brothers are both 6'4". Lots of little issues over the years.
Anxiously waiting for my second childhood so I can forget all of that.
Tonight's choice of adult beverage(label's very dark, but it's "Funky Buddha Brewery Maple Bacon Coffee Porter". A limited edition that's the best brew I've ever tasted)

I'd be up for (almost) anything from a Funky Buddha.
They have quite a variety of brews. Unfortunately, the MBCP only comes out in January so I kinda hoard a few. It just felt like a MBCP night to me.

In a pre-enlightened age (or was it post-enlightened?) people took Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance seriously. What I take to heart instead in this time eddy is Mansfield Park. And some Jimmy Cliff.
I'm not knocking your choice of drink but I wonder if anyone makes or drinks beer flavored beer anymore?

Narrowly missed a discussion on Blatz in another thread just days ago. No, I never drank Blatz.

It’s apparently important to keep hoarded bottled beer out of the sunlight so it doesn’t go skunky.

Curious how I associate Miami with skunked Heineken. Could have something to do with drinking skunked Heineken in Miami. And because of that, there's a compartment in my brain that says Miami = skunked beer.
I’m a kid at heart. With both my parents dead, does that make me an orphan? Is there an orphan card that I can play? I’m thinking maybe a special government pension.

The orphanage to workhouse pipeline is well-established.
