[chestbeating]i didn't have to look it up [/chestbeating] makes good honey.

but you beat me to it natty goth!

I got banned! In fact I can't post this right now!

its called fireweed and the seeds are even worse when dewy or wet from rain cause they stick to you like glue and you get the tarred and feathered look.

in high school we used to carry creamer packets and when someone tailgated you flick em outthe window. if you hit the winshield the creamer explodesand the cream makes an opaque screen on their windshield so they have to brake and then turn on the wipers to get rid of it. of course that is a type of escalation and can lead to you getting beat up so only do it in a car full of rugby players.

i like to slow down next to a semi and make sure that tailgater dude just cant pass no matter what... and let em stew for about 10 minutes.... but only if i'm driving a bigger truck than them. or randomly tap brakes till they back off. but i guess in the usa i could get shot for doing that kind of thing.

isn't this like the 10th time trask has been "gone for good"

is there beer for slide showers? i want to see Lowell Skoog show us pictures of every unclimbed route in the Cascades

Robobobobob it's more like this 1) some moderator gets upset either by a sarcastic or critical comment or by a whiny PM "blowing the whistle" - or by something possibly legitimate (worth moderating) like trask posting some porn; or by their boss at work or whatever 2) said moderator does not like having to work so they vent their anger on the active posters on this site with some random moderation and deleting and banning 3) then anyone who comments on the random acts of moderation is labelled a whiner and randomly moderated some more until we shut up and pretend everything is all well and good. It's the parenting school of "Shut up kid or I'll give you something to REALLY cry about - Mommy is hungover and doesnt need to hear you right now" 4) Moderators seem to REALLY dislike the little eye rolling graemlin 5) The best way to never be moderated on, is to just post quickly agreeing with anything the moderator says, and PM them constantly telling them what a good job they are doing, and how evil and rotten certain other posters are. PS: AlpineK, gapertimmy, mattp, erik, snoboy, jon, Peter Puget, iceguy, off_white, et al ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! * *

who's gonna present? 3 hours is a long way to go if its just trask showing pictures of his boat (to take a silly example)

and I think both the israelis and palestinians would be insulted by being comparted to a boar, an unclean animal!!!!! you PIGS!!!

arcteryx uses revive x on all their soft shells, and packs too! that nikwax stuff is supposedly crap according to the arcteryx designers. i dunno why they just told me never to use it. maybe revivex bribed them

That has nothing to do with what was presented. not to mention that being killed is probably more of an issue to the boar than those vicious, hurtful insults!!!!!

EVERY TIME YOU GUYS SAY PALESTINIAN YOU ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF THE SHADOWY MUSLIM HACKER CABAL THAT ADAMSON THREATENED WOULD BRING DOWN THIS WEBSITE

but since space is curved, did you consider that there is actually a "hill" between olympus mons and everest that is higher than either of them?? and no way to go around that "hill"??? i just spent 2 hours trying to measure all the passes on the Fraser watershed divide between Robson and Wadd. as to your mystery peak I couldnt figure it out without using my Beckey guide. and we all know Beckey guides are aid

how come you can only read new posts in threaded view? anybody?

Well, then Matt Burns is still alive RIP unknown climber

I checked the User List, I don't think it's either of the mattb or MATT B registered users on this site? RIP Matt Burns for the fallen

what about when there are 3 or 4 lanes and you are passin people left AND right

Don't get in the black helicopters Muffy!!!!

the melting ice sheets are gonna produce a huge fresh water lake in the sahara and the camels will drown

stay on topic. personal attacks on what you perceive me to be do not add anything to this discussion. why don't you complain to jon about the use of the term "bitch", derogatory to women, in this thread's title

i heard the moderators have a secret forum where they bitch and moan about the rest of us, but since we can't see it, they pretend to be complaint free. j_b you are just mad i included you with my list of dwayner and mtn_goat in examples of people so ideologically committed your views will never change. why should they, after all, you all KNOW you are correct, huh it must be good to feel so superior to the rest of us poor confused fools. and yet.... waitaminnit here.... you and mtn_goat disagree about everything and yet you are both, always right! how can this be? oh man you are reawakening my hangover

by the way i think Jim's photo is pretty good. i found they always moved too fast to photograph. i like the pose with the tail pinch and holding it in place with the knee. reminds me a bit of those "manly" * trophy shots with the dead buck or whatever except the scale is off * I bet sisu has a bunch of these shots and i bet he's wearing shorts over polypro in them too - camoflaged of course

you could always lead by example by posting some new threads about actual climbing or something, instead of global warming or the mideast
