I'd never heard this song, but I'd be damned if I could've figured what the real lyrics were without our friend google.

I remember hating fall out boy a LOT when the were on SNL, but this tune is starting to grow on me. :scared:

2. Just wait 'till I get the video from this weekend's run

I nearly f'ed up and ran a calss IV rapid called octopus backwards. I've got that on film (I managed to get sorted out before disaster struck. But the last drop before the takeout has utterly got my number. I managed to get hung up on the lip of a ten foot waterfall and went into the aerated mush pointing staright down--I went DEEEEEPPPPPP--and then came up behind the curtain.

Yes, what ensued was a beating to remember. For the record, nothing got hurt but my pride--but it REALLY got hurt! :D

3. you're on the East Coast aren't you?

I mostly did West Coast rivers, but have some fond memories of swimming the Gauley more than once

***Disclaimer**** I was a rafter, never did get the 'hip snap' down well enough to kayak in big water

:blush:

4. Midwest actually (MN)

Here's a video of the rapid I nearly ran backward--albeit at a lower level. That really didn't make it much easier, but it did make the line shift over to river left, and exposed a lot more rocks.

For the recrod, I'm the guy in the second boat down. And that's my muppet like voice dropping f-boms in the background.
