		<description>Jek, thanks for shedding some light on the MR photos. From all of the past posts on this blog, I was under the false pretense that this MR character was:
A Rock Star 
B Mountain Climber
C Snow Skier
D Politician
E Con Artist
F Race Car Driver
G Philanthropist
H All of the Above
I  None of the Above

No offense, MR.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve gotta skip out on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059260/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Help!&lt;/a&gt; dialog and set the record straight (sorry MR).  Though before I do, here are a couple of fun soundbites for you courtesy of 50megs.com:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://beatleshelp.50megs.com/sounds/danger.wav&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Say no more 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://beatleshelp.50megs.com/sounds/saynomore.wav&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Say no more 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;


Moving on... What MR is calling the &quot;ridge&quot; is really a snow bank that was blocking the trail that goes along the ridge.  It looks like the trees there protected the snow from melting.  Here&#039;s a shot of MR where you can see that very snow bank on right-hand side, above his left arm.  The snow bank wasn&#039;t as whimpy as it looks--maybe 12 feet high.

&lt;img id=&quot;image467&quot; src=&quot;http://www.mrambler.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/mr_with_snow_pile.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;MR with Snow Bank&quot; /&gt;
MR with the snow bank on the right-hand side.

&lt;img id=&quot;image468&quot; src=&quot;http://www.mrambler.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/tarn_beyond_snow_pile.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Tarn beyond Snow Bank&quot; /&gt;
Tarn on the now-snowy trail that continues beyond the snow bank.


So that &quot;Thousands of feet to the bottom&quot; arrow should really point left rather than down.  You do get points for lightening up the image and false presentation.  Let&#039;s see, 4 manipulation points for the image and 7 manipulation points for the perception; giving MR 11 manipulation points total.  I&#039;ll give myself 3 points for taking the picture.</description>

		<description>I will say that the skillfully taken photo was not cropped.  I&#039;ll also say that any photo with so much markup might spark some skepticism.  &quot;I can say no more.&quot;</description>
