    i'll close my mouth now!!!

    one thing you must learn grasshopper, there is a vast difference between married and happily married. Don't make the mistake of throwing all us married guys into the "regret our order" category cause I know more than one guy who has been with his woman a very long time and feels forturnate she will allow him under the same roof...

    crap

    I just noticed you said "ALMOST always"

    oh well

    you can almost always tell the guys from tacoma, they are the ones who are in the Index parking lot trying to play with a soggy hacky sac when they could be climbing another route grin.gif" border="0grin.gif" border="0

    I am still trying to unsucsesfully trick my mother in law out of her old set of lawn darts. She can hold her dang liquer.

    Jman, that sounds like the classic lawsuit where the other guy wins $500 for hurting his hand defending himself from your wife and you each have to pay your attourneys their $5,000 fee.

    ) but this Mr. Hurry cuts over quick and darts in front of me. I think, "no problem, these hurried guys always take off like a shot at the light. It's not like I'll be waiting long." Then, whaddaya know, when the light turns green, Mr. Hurry is now working on something else and TOTALLY blow the start! I guess this guy is one of those people who always need to be doing like at least two things at once as it's not good enough to just concentrate on the job at hand. Sorta like my 4 year old son.

    Whadda you think of that!?

    sorry chucK, I got a phone call and lost concentration, then I saw trask waving his can of beer (colt 45) around and forgot where I was. But I was in front of you!! [Wazzup]

    [thread creep] That sounds just plain burly, wearing a 6 day pack to climb overhanging rock bands.

    Being a newbie, I must ask why on God's green earth would you not haul your pack through overhanging terrain? with 6 days of food and fuel on Mt. Hunter. [thread creep]

    I haven't found anything that carries as well as my Lowe Alpine HUGE ASS pack. They are hard to beat the price too. Not as lightweight as some but, I think if you are carrying 5 days worth of crap, a little heavier pack might be worth the extra support.

    Here's a sweet/cheap headlamp

    a partner of mine had that one and the head band broke the 3rd time he wore it and fell down a small cliff into the outlet of lake serene and was probably washed over the falls. (poor headlamp)

    Made for a "interesting" bushwack in the dark sharing my headlamp, [hell no]

    Rooneyisms

    in Spray

    Andy Rooney On Prisons:

    Did you know that it costs forty-thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner? Jeez, for forty-thousand bucks a piece I'll take a few prisonersinto my house. I live in Los Angeles. I already have bars on the windows. I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And ifthey don't want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the generator.

    Andy Rooney On Ads In Bills:

    Have you ever noticed that they put advertisements in with your bills now?Like bills aren't distasteful enough, they have to stuff junk mail in there with them. I get back at them. I put garbage in with my check when I mail it in. Coffee grinds, banana peels.... I write, "Could you throw this awayfor me? Thank You."

    Andy Rooney On Fabric Softener:

    My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me (sniff), 'Married' (walk off). That's how they mark their territory. You can take off the ring, but it's hard to get that April fresh scent out of your clothes.

    Andy Rooney On Morning Differences:

    Men and women are different in the morning. The men wake up aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, 'How can he want me the way I look in the morning?' It's because we can't see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve.

    Andy Rooney On Phone-In-Polls:

    You know those shows where people call in and vote on different issues? Did you ever notice there's always like 18% that say "I don't know." It costs 90 cents to call up and vote and they're voting "I don't know." "Honey, I feel very strongly about this. Give me the phone." (Says into the phone) "I DON'T KNOW!" (Hangs up looking proud.) "Sometimes you have to stand up forwhat you believe you're not sure about." This guy probably calls up phone sex girls for $2.95 per minute to say "I'm not in the mood".

    Andy Rooney On Cripes: My wife's from the Midwest. Very nice people there. Very wholesome. They use words like 'Cripes'. 'For Cripe's sake.' Who would that be, Jesus Cripe's? The son of 'Gosh' of the church of 'Holy Moly'? I'm not making fun of it. You think I wanna burn in 'Heck'?

    Andy Rooney On Grandma: My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says, 'Sexy Senior Citizen.' You don't want to think of your grandmother that way, do you? Outentering wet shawl contests. Makes you wonder where she got that dollar she gave you for your birthday.

    I just gotta say - that's pretty freakin' lame - Grow up.

    If you're gonna throw a picture of a person on the web and insult the person to the public, pick a picture that was submitted by the person, or at least where the person was making fun of himself.

    I doubt this guy took a normal picture of himself, (like this appears to be) and then submitted it to "uglypeople.com."

    That, or just go to some sight devoted to fucking with some guy over something he has no control over. I like spray, but that is jst pure negativity.

    Keeping some 29 page thread going is a pathetic reason to do that.

    That appears to be one of AL Gore's better pictures man, what are you getting all upset about? I know, I know; it's shocking, but, that's the way most Democrats look. shocked.gif" border="0

    Guided climbs, RMI and other spew

    in Newbies

    beefcider:

    I went on the RMI standard 3 day sumit climb about 2 years ago and leaned how to self arrest from 4 different positions, rest step, rope work, pressure breathing, how to put on and walk around with crampons, roped glacier travel, and that I don't like climbing with a bunch of whiners I don't know. I have no idea what else they are offering in the 6 day class but, you will probably learn alot more than I did and have a great time as well. All of the guides on my climb were awesome and very cool. It was a very positive experience all around and really encouraged me to pursue the sport.

    fragile alpine areas

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    I agree the ropes are necesary in high traffic and fragile areas, but that's it. I've seen boners chasing deer through the Paradise medows and people picking up "souveniers" old sticks/rocks from Panorama point to take home. Obviously, if everybody did this, the area between Paradise and Pan Point would look like a quarry. I politley reminded them that if a ranger noticed the souvenier they could be in huge trouble. They usually act embarassed and put the item back.

    One time a bus load of Japanese tourists came racing up the Pan Point trail as we were descending and demanded we let them take pictures of each other standing with us holding our ski poles and wearing our helmets. They were so excited, it was hilarious. [laf]

    Racking: Gear slings vs. Gear lops

    in Climber's Board

    Posted

    Max, What's a gear lop?

    I put big mess of pro on the sling and my draws on the harness. My nuts are always in my underpants. I have a neat old Choinard "seatbelt sling" that leaves you with a pretty good welt if you wear it all day. I have just started leading and haven't found a great racking system yet. One obvious thing I have figured out is really look at a pitch and dont take the stuff you don't (like that huge hex) need to minimize the bulk. I think someone already said that. More coffee!!

    A joke, for the hell of it...

    A young man reported for his first day of work at the big supermarket. The manager greeted him with a warm handshake, handed him a broom and said "your first job will be to sweep out the store"

    "But I just graduated from College!" the young man replied indignantly. "I've spent the last five years in school taking clases in business and economics!"

    "Oh sorry" said the manager, taking back the broom. "Here, let me show you how it works" [Wazzup]

    Rainier on Memorial Wkd?

    Posted

    I went on a training run up to muir 2 years ago memorial day weekend and not only was Camp Muir to capacity, half the damn snowfield was covered by tents - the weather was ok, you should expect a crowd if you are climbing this side. If you must go that weekend, use a less popular route like Willis Wall or Curtis Ridge for a less crowded experience. mad.gif" border="0

    Nagging Question

    in Spray

    Posted

    Several years ago when I was a young buck, at a truck stop in Deerlodge MT, I was peeing into a urnal and this older (60's) dude shuffles up next to me and starts going. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see him glancing over at my lower anatomy and smiling away. Then he starts chuckling. I finish up and take aim on where to deliver the knuckle sandwich when he says - "those are some pretty fancy shoes" I look down and realize he was checking out my purple and yellow running shoes. That worked for me so I walked out of there thinking the mens room is entirely inappropriate for looking at other guys shoes.
