Ray- you may want to consider bivying beneath my testicles. They are very sturdy and thier strength to wieght ratio is very impressive and I've noticed that they are very efficient at wicking away moisture. -just a suggestion

You are a dork.

I think that we have all spent too much time arguing over a piece of webbing and a rap sling. personally, I'm done. Erik, I'm sure that you know a debate is just that and nothing more- Next time we run into each other I know we will give each other the same friendly greetings as usual.

I've got your shoes and gear, dude

I don't want to drag this on too long- I feel that by saying "leave everything alone and just deal what is left there", you are in effect saying that the actions of the thieves were right and their theft was in the best interest of the coulee. If someone ripped off your car stereo, would you say "it's for the best, the crackhead who stole my radio knew my life would be better without it, I'm not going to replace it"??!! Come on, this is about restoring things to their original condition. There are no great descisions to be made here.

Well, regardless of Erik's entitled opinion, If someone would add the items I mentioned it would be cool. Note:The rap anchors I am talking about are on PREexisting bolts- all I'm talking about is adding slings or chains to the hangers that are already there. You (and thousands of others) could either walk off everytime (causing more impact on the environment, risk of kicking rocks down on people) or simply rappel off of preexisting bolts. I think anyone claiming to care about the environment of the coulee would find this to be a simple decision.

A young woman tells her father that she is going to marry a greak man. Her worried father warns her "those greek men are nasty, no matter what, promise me you won't let him roll you over while lovemaking". She agrees and the two are married. After monthes of lovemaking, the greek man wisperes into his new brides ear "why don't you roll over, honey". The bride objects, stating that she promised to never roll over during lovemaking. The perplexed husband replies "how do you ever expect to get pregnant?"

I'll ask my Dad if he found any good places to climb while he was there. I think he may have been a little busy jumping out of helicopters and shooting at people, though.

I got 'em- check your PM's

"Shit, all I have to think about is eating, sleeping, and procreating. Simple as that. No higher conciousness, no self-awareness, no concience... " -And how does that make you different from the rest of us?

I got it- it's just that my A.D.D prevents me from following along

Landlord landlord, where ya at? I'm hidin' 'round the corner with a baseball bat- I need them snaps that ya made today, or watch me turn into Willie Mays.

I'll check for them today.

Just thought I'd ad a note here. If anyone could bring some slings/rings or chain/coldshuts next time they go to vantage that would be cool. I added hangers,slings,rings to the rap station above steel grill/bobs your uncle(the only rap station in the area) and some confused individual took the slings and rings off. I'm not going to replace them again, but is they were replaced by someone, it would make things a lot more convenient in that area. Also, the same needs to be done to the party in your pants area (someone took my rings/slings there too. Thanks, Charlie

The jungles of the yucitan, mexico. I was told by one of the locals "there over 100 species of snakes in this jungle, 90 of which are deadly poisonous" I slept in 2 tents, one inside the other! (everyone lauphed at me) When I woke up in the morning I saw snake tracks all around the tents! Not to mention the 6" scorpions! What a hostile place. If the critters don't kill you, the machete toting locals might. [ 03-27-2002: Message edited by: Charlie ]

The sun is shining, the weather is sweet- makes you want to move your dancing feet. How was the rain fellas? -just got back from mexico!!!!!!

(mind you she's only about 5'4" and about 125 lbs.) It was pretty funny to watch, though. Oh now that's just bullshit! Nothing pisses me off more than a confrontational woman. Everybody knows you can't hit a girl- I wonder how funny it would have been if the dude decked her? Then you'd have to get out and fight the dude. You wouldn't be lauphing if you're woman's loud mouth left you getting your ass kicked!!!?

Hey, anybody ever try climbing? I've heard a lot about it and would like to try it. Is it scary? I've seen MI2 and Vertical Limit, so I'm pretty sure I know what it's all about. How do they get those ropes up there?

quote: Originally posted by Jman: I knew I'd take heat for that one, but that's ok. Let's just say you've never met my wife before, and wouldn't want to see her after hitting her. Sure, I'd be pissed that someone hit her, but it would be pretty damn entertaining to see the backlash of that stupid move, too. Obviously, I'd step in if I needed to (please, what guy wouldn't?!), but she really can hold her own and she wouldn't do something like that if she'd didn't know what she was getting into or if she was afraid of what would happen (I've seen her make decisions both ways, confront vs avoid). I trust her judgement.Also, she does NOT rely on me as backup (i.e. go and start something then expect me to bail her out). She takes any consequences of her own actions. Now, there ain't a man alive who wouldn't fight to the death over his woman (that is if he truly loves her )... so did you really think I wouldn't do anything? This is all like gradeschool stuff - my dad can beat up your dad. What's the reality of that happening? THINK! OK, this brings back my first response about confrontational women- so this poor guy is going to have to sit there while your wife beats on him (again, you can't hit a girl)? We don't have enough dickhead traffic cops in this city that your wife has to go and beat/threaten/antagonize anybody who isn't driving the way she feels that he should be? Hmmm, interesting.

Have you guys ever drank a redbull? I drank one an hour ago- I've been sweating profusely, and have had to use the can twice already. I can't believe those things are legal. I think I'm starting to hallucinate
