I used "paragliding". Seriously though, not trying to bag on you. I just thought you might not have tried because you'd had past bad experiences with the CC.com search engine. It used to really suck, but since the site upgrade it's changed and it works really well. You can search the site with Google now too.

I don't think you guys get this contest. It's supposed to be what the "Sportos" are thinking and why they are giving CBS quizzical looks! Like, "What's that guy trying to prove? Climbing with a shirt on! Hah!" or "Why are those guys belaying with the carabiner through their belay loops?"

Yeah, he probably just came by to drop the wallet off to verify the billing address.

here you go This result brought to you courtesy of the new and improved CC.com "search" button.

I think rr666 has that feature too.

Now's your chance to bag on CBS or Sportos or both with your own humorous quip!!! A beer for the winner (and not some lousy Canadian thief beer ): CBS has the first entry: Other possibilites: "Why is he wearing that big dorky helmet?" "Why is he calling us 'Sportos'?" "Whoa, his shoes are giving me an epileptic seizure!!"

I think it is a pretty good parable in one respect. The vast majority of folks are more than willing to have other people sacrifice. I must admit that if I were making 2 million $/year, or if I was slated to inherit a 2 million $ estate, I would probably grouse at the fact that the Kerry platform was going to exclude me from getting my 400$ refund back ( , well maybe not), or be pretty happy that the death tax was being repealled. Anyway, what I am saying is, is that I can't be too terribly righteous about people trying to defend their wealth. HOWEVER, what really blows me away is how many middle class and poor people are all for the Repub way of redistributing the wealth away from themselves?! It's like going in to work at the factory and telling the bosses to disable that expensive safety equipment cause it's making it take too long for the hot water to come out of the tap in the executive washroom. "It's only fair, cleanliness is important for those suit guys." Look folks. The money has got to come from somewhere. I don't see the Bush admin making a bunch of cuts. I see them running up a huge deficit. If the rich people are absolved from paying, you are going to get to pay. Your children are going to get to pay. Protect your wealth. Don't sacfrifice it for the upper class.

I don't think you get the no-popup feature with the demo version. Did you click something to turn on the no-popups. I'm not talking about the firewall part of it.

Economics in a nutshell ALL rich people are rich because they work their f*cking butts off for it. ALL poor people are poor because they are lazy and shiftless.

On my computer if I use the ZoneAlarm no-popup feature it also disables all the cute little animated gremlins on CC.com, and stuff like the little mail flashing dealy. F*ck that.

Those green Nalgene's are pretty sweet. Give you the feeling yer drinking some fancy imported beer

That's right!! Name the correct color and win a punch in the nose

I will forward your name to my homeowners insurance company that paid off the claim (and to my two buddies who didn't have insurance). Are you now the proud owner of a paint-stained Folger's Racing Team hat?

Muffy, Here's a good first person account of his accident.

How did your vinyl get trashed? I could see that the sleeves would be ruined, but the music oughta be OK huh?

Looks like you got that gumnut virus going around ( link ). Too bad. Might have to wipe your whole harddrive.

Three backpacks full of lots of stuff stolen from base of Smoke Bluff Knexshum way back in the 20th century. Hobbling around in our rock shoes, we couldn't find anybody to punch in the nose .

Squamish has worked well for us. There are a couple good crags for kids, and a bunch of other stuff for them to do (Murrin Park, good community center pool, train museum, more ? ...) Always thought City of Rocks would be perfect, and sounds like Joshua Tree too, flat base areas, single-pitch climbs.

Might depend on whether you are proud or embarrassed of your association with cc.com see this thread

Climbing with a pack is unGestaltish sometimes too. If you cache your gear on the summit, and you get a little overconfident, it could be pretty funny if you ended up on a forced bivy a couple of pitches below your bivy gear . I think AlpineK will find bars less attractive once the novelty of being 21 wears off .

So if someone calls one of your buddies routes overbolted then something needs to be done. If someone else abuses half the posters here, including stalking all women posters, then that's OK. That's funny!?

We sure are LUCKY to have you around here to keep it real . Please tell us how it feels to climb with a joke up yer ass. Oh please.

Z-clipping is way worse than back-clipping, especially for someone who's pro is just there for a back-up and is not planning on falling.

How can you say that? Pyramid seems to be thriving? I think maybe if Squish was in the US, then there would be better beer, and FOOD there. Also, it'd probably cost a whole bunch of money to camp there and climbers would probably be getting hassled by the man 24-7. Plus, there would definitely be no climbing in the Smoke Bluffs.
