My second couldn't get my BD #6 nut out on the 2nd pitch of Madame G's. It has yellow tape on the wire. If you can get it out give me a call and I'll buy you a beer at Bacchus.

Did your partner spit on it?
I have been finding that nuts and cams that appear hopelessly fused in place come out with ease once hosed down.
I don't know why I don't see more people spitting on their gear, but it works.

Depending on the beer it could cost more than the nut.

Booty

Rules for finders.
#1 Stuff you find in the parking lot is Not booty. It’s lost and found material.
#2 Any and All gear that is left or misplaced in the course of a rescue including the victims gear is NOT booty and will be collected and returned to rightful owners.
#3 any gear that is abandoned or lost due to incompetence, lack of skill, sack or sheer laziness is booty as soon as the former owners of that gear have left the cliff and given up attempts to retrieve that gear. Exceptions would be when the spanked party announces intention to resume recovery process at first light the following day.
#4 Finders of booty may offer to return said booty. The losing party loses face if they accept the return of their gear.

Rules for the losers
#1 Asking for your gear back is bad form and shows a lack of self respect.
#2 If the finder of your shwag offers to return it you may accept but if you do you will lose face. Buying them a six pack or case will help but in some cases still not completely erase the honor debt. If they offer , you refuse and they offer again and you accept it’s much better but you should still buy them a drink and you still lost face just not as much face.
#3 The ONLY way to escape your embarrassing loss of gear without losing face is to not accept its return . A simple ” thanks for offering but you guys earned it” should give you a clean slate 99.9% of the time.

whoa whoa whoa ... no. Spit on your partner's nuts. (Or a stranger's, and then they have to buy you a beer)

Yup, what he says. I've bootied a few nuts recently and that's where they go. I get 3 of the 4 dollars and the money is the "loser's" penalty fee for getting it back. Hint - make your partner pay for it. Better yet, make them pay $8 and you pocket the difference. :-)
