That's what, 20 feet high? Ice bouldering! But not overhanging enough for a sit start.

Or ice climbing in the Gorge.

"He who has the greater virtue does not act and has no goal" Well, I got the no goals part down pretty good but I haven't learned inaction yet.

Let me tell you - when Vancouver Magazine (glossy publication given out free to wealthy households in Greater Vancouver) does an article on anything, whether it is adopting from China, how orange is the new black, or income trusts, it's officially a fad.

That's just cosmetic refurbishment!

Read what I wrote. I did not tell sobo he was being trendy. I said that there is apparently a fad for adopting Chinese kids. Which probabnly explains the creepy multiracial Barbie mother/daughter thing. sobo adopted a Vietnamese kid. I did not say he was part of a fad. He, and you apparently, jumped to some weird conclusion. So chill.

sobo, you seem kinda defensive to the point where you are deliberately misinterpreting me? I don't know about the US but there is apparently a fad here for adopting kids from China, like there was for Romania a couple years ago. Seems like the hotel you stayed at even picked up on it. I am not claiming you are part of this fad OK? I'm talking about wealthy yuppies up here not poor ol' normal folks from eastern WA adopting a kid from Vietnam.

I don't think Gary can adopt until he hooks up with the girl who knows ALMOST as much about math as he does

5 years ago everyone wanted a Romanian orphan. But since Romania got out from under Ceaucescu and re-legalized abortion and birth control, the supply of Romanian orphans has dried up. One adoptive mom in Canada told me that "In North America, the children available for adoption will all have fetal alcohol syndrome or other developmental abnormalities because they come from mothers who were too drunk or stoned to take birth control or have an abortion". I don't know if that is true or not but that was the argument she made for going overseas - a child with fewer problems.

Can you define exactly how much you like Canada? nibble<Gary Heart Canada<bite?

All I'm saying is that every single couple that I know of that has adopted kids in the last 5 years has gone to China. If that isn't a fad, what is it?

I have news for you - it IS. I thought you knew?

Gary needs a TA doll to nibble and bite. Cause Barbie thinks math is hard.

This Jill sounds like a psychopath!

Be careful when reaching blind for pockets!

The AAJ editor censored the names of two new routes climbed in Alaska (Dirty Sanchez and Filty Jorge) in the 2005 AAJ because he felt they were "degrading to women". But he admitted later that he didn't know what the terms meant until he Googled them. Do you think the "Bukkake Couloir" will make it in this year, or not?

Truth in advertising!!! The part where the camera starts shaking uncontrollably is funny.

I wanna see one of these with Brand and Angelina cloned faces

drop those heels!!!!

oh well, the average lifespan of a bolivian government is less than 1 year anyways... don't worry jay_b i'm certain washington will promote a coup before 2007!

eh, no, all they have done in zimbabwe is redistribute into the hands of mugabe and his cronies...

what a waste, all that cold andno ice to climb.

But JayB you have not demonstrated that an economic system that concentrates 99% of a countries wealth in the hands of a specific oligarchy is any better... in this case if the economy goes into the tank it will be from the flight of wealth as much as anything. What would happen to the US if the 1000 richest families and corporations sudenly took all their assets and moved to Singapore?

i cheated and looked it up on the BCGS map
