Subject: RE: BS: Nouns as Verbs: 'to summit Everest'
My friend, Sandra in Sydney, often asks me if I am mudcatting tonight, and of course I usually say yes.

Yesterday, an anti-war protester managed to "summit" one of the sails of the Opera House and paint a bright red "no war" on it. Today, on the news, they showed a bunch of guys up there trying to wash it off - not very successfully. The reporter was heard to say that the protester "graffitied" the Opera House.
