Okay, its gettin weird. If someone doesn't tell me what boofen is??????????
Well, you've got my vote. Freep on!
Boofen,
amtlich: freiübernachten ;-) ist eine sehr alte Tradition im sächsischen Klettern. Die Generation nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg, vielleicht auch schon vorher, begannen unter den Gipfeln und Wänden zu biwakieren - sächsisch boofen.
Lange Jahre gab es nur einen kleinen Kreis und fast ausschließlich Kletterer die booften. In den 70ern uferte das plötzlich aus. Nicht nur die Zahl der Boofer stieg weit über das Maß des naturverträglichen sondern auch ihr Verhalten schüttelte den Hund samt Hütte.
Hangzonen wurden "erodiert", Geländer demontiert und je höher die Waldbrandstufe, je größer die Flammen. Das Ganze hatte auch selten mit klettern zu tun (und übrigens auch nichts mit innerem Widerstand gegen das System!)
In dieser Zeit gab es auch die ersten Bemühungen der Sache Herr zu werden und keineswegs nur von oben verordnete.
Boofen, officially: free-stay overnight; -) a very old tradition is in Saxonian climbing. The generation after the First World War, perhaps already before, began to bivouac under the summits and walls - Saxonian boofen. There only a small circle and almost exclusively Kletterer the booften were long years. Into the 70ern uferte suddenly out. Not only the number of the Boofer rose the far over measure of the nature-compatible but also their behavior vibrated the dog including hut. Slope zones were "erodiert", Railing dismantles and the more highly the forest fire stage, the more largely the flames. The whole had with to climb also rarely do (and by the way also nothing with internal resistance against the system!) In this time it did not give to become also the first efforts of the thing gentleman and by any means only ordered from above.
Yeah, I know the N2 is harmless at room temp, but liquid can burn you pretty badly in the right quantities.
Fascinating to drop stuff in it and see the result. You know, balloons, cola, assorted fruit, mewing kittens, etc.
Wait until he goes to speak to the blueberry farmers and researches Wonkavision on how to become a blueberry. Gene Wilder might take him to juicing room.
Took him off the grill just in time.
But, but... we already have a Lurch.. !! :)
