It seemed almost like all the kids-ropeup posters made it. Did LeeJams show earlier? Dave Bale doesn't count cause he doesn't admit to posting on CC.com. Holy shit about the hangovers too! I guess I wasn't the only one. Maybe it was because of those huge glasses?

If they're really that good, maybe you could use them to bribe your pooch into being the decoy in the trap set up to catch the bad guy masquerading as some sort of monster.

Leo is a pretty cool character though. I think thzat would be kinda cool.

That's 540,000 trail-park passes. Get buyin' people!

Have you checked out Exit 38 yet?

How about this one?

This is a good one and Dru, "Arabic Yodeling" is better.

AlpineK! I had no idea you were a worthless stinky hippie!!

Great posts here. To get back to Dryad's original point, I think perhaps her negative view of the climbing culture is more in the eye of the beholder. I think her well chosen words speak directly to the point: "it's hard to get any kind of real sympathy." There are often expressions of sympathy after the accident reports; however, noone thinks much of them as real sympathy, but more as rote condolences, since the poster doesn't know the victims or their family any more than we know Elvis. On the other hand, if something negative is said about the victims, plenty of people think that is harsh, whether we know them or not. So basically I think the sympathies are balanced with the attacks, but the attacks for some reason seem more genuine and stick in our minds. I believe this theory is born out by the flipside. When the victims are personally known by people on the board it seems like, if anything, the tendency is more toward true sympathies rather than blame laying. When the victim is known it seems like the naysayers generally hold their tongues. Thus for the same reason that sympathies for an anonymous victim seem hollow, casting blame on anonymous victims doesn't seem as ugly. This allows people to act the cad and call dead folks idiots.

Have you solo'd Diedre Dru? It seems like it'd be a good one, but it's so tough to tell with a rope. That'd be a bad one to wig on, with about a jillion witnesses laughing at you.

I found it in my dictionary (one of those outdated bound, "book"-type dictionaries.) Thank you for teaching me a new word today Herr Klenke .

"Foudroyant"! That ridge looks like a good time. What kind of rock is that?

Do you have any basis for this statement?

can I have your old receiver?

Do they still have that Brian Suits guy, the ex-marine? That guy was a total righty. I was gonna make the same statement about Dave Ross. That guy rocks!

Oh gosh I'm sorry to have pissed on your parade Parker How's that! ?

Actually, my point was that Bush's rhetoric is so out there that he's not even backed up by the righty Foxnews.com. I guess my point was undercut though by the fact that that wasn't a real piece of Bush rhetoric. Oh well Look at PP's troll got the libs arguing amongst themselves, sorta like those dumb democrat presidential hopefuls.

Klenke, I think yours would be cooler if the last line was changed to "Shit! I are one two!"

Is that a Bill O'Reilly quote? It looks like it from the start of your post. ETA: I was referring to Jim's post.

Don't you think each of the lines should be a somewhat complete thought? Running on into the next line is definitely cheating. How about changing your first line to: "Water falling down" Then it would be way cool .

Maybe Foxnews.com doesn't like you! They are all links from the front page, recent stories (today or yesterday). In order: 4 Amercans killed in Bagdad, more reserves called up, oil pipeline bombed in Iraq, nation put on new terror alert (top headline), Bush thanks Japan for money for Iraq.

Hey Mattp, is that a real quote from Bush? Check out the links to see what that liberally biased Foxnews.com has to say about it, then see what you think. "Good morning. Now, six months after the war in Iraq ended, we are seeing great progress toward peace and stability in the region, , the world has become a safer place, and America's prestige as a peacemaking nation is growing daily, ...."
