you can get the gest and take life for what its for. im not an english teacher im a kayaker and as far as i know you don't need an degree to run 5+
I'm not an English teacher either but a teacher nonetheless. I used to be a middle school teacher so I definitely recognize how giddily exciting sexual innuendo can be but wouldn't it be interesting to have rapids named in a descriptive (i.e. 'go left and die') or creative (i.e. Sockdolager) manner.

I'll accept this as a first draft but I'm going to need to see a readable version by Wednesday if you want credit for it.

As an English Teacher and a Rafter

Standard (i.e. good) grammar was and is designed to promote communication between people.

Even though I'm a rafter, not a kayaker, I could easily visualize the scene CM described.

I enjoy reading creeking trip reports just because they're different than what I do (someday maybe), so thanks CM. good description and voice, even if the conventions weren't standard.

i forgot to say the top half of balls to the wall is the tight double drop. the left wall is undercut so thats why its named balls to the wall and of coarse how it feels when you are dropping in above.

Sounds like a good adventure. I'm psyched for some pics.

Considering your command of the English language, running that shit on your description did take some serious cajones!

Poor, poor Aaron. All I can say after seeing pictures, hearing the story first hand, and seeing the SHATTERED boat, is damn.

Dude

Mike,

Boating is not about balls and beavers. Its about modest courage and tight pussy.

Love,

Splatdog
