  1. Damn that has got to be the best one I have heard in awhile... and to think they say liberals have all the wack conspiracy theories... I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss his info. Check out the current last post in "Losing the war on terror Mr. Bush?" by gotterdamerung for a broader explanation on this subject. I've skiied and talked with him a bit when he's been home and have come to appreciate that he has an objective perspective on the political situation in the middle east. He is not blinded by vengance, hatred or duty. He is a respectable guy and you guys should, at a minimum, give him the benefit of the doubt, even if what he's saying isn't consistent with your personal political beliefs. Or, you can put your head back in the sand and carry on, blaming Bush for everything that's wrong in the world and your life, to some degree avoiding responsibility for your happiness and what is currently going on in the world. It sure is beautiful outside. Have a nice day.
  2. We light YOU on fire and kick your ass.
  3. Garmont Tower fits your criteria.
  4. Just spray!
  5. I thought you guys might find this informative - MILITARY RULES FOR NONMILITARY PERSONS Dear Civilians, We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation have many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military. For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand. Here are a few of the areas where we would like your assistance: 1) The next time you see an adult talking (or wearing a hat) during the playing of the National Anthem---kick their ass. 2) When you witness, firsthand, someone burning the American Flag in protest---kick their ass. 3) Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans. If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these veterans made to make this Nation great. Then hold them down while a disabled veteran kicks their ass. 4) (GUYS) If you were never in the military, DO NOT pretend that you were. Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDUs), telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia, might have been okay when you were seven years old. Now, it will only make you look stupid and get your ass kicked. 5) Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them, "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot. Such ignorance deserves an ass-kicking (children are exempt.) 6) If you witness someone calling the US Coast Guard 'nonmilitary', inform them of their mistake --- and kick their ass. 7) Roseanne Barr's singing of the National Anthem is not a blooper --- it was a disgrace and disrespectful. Laugh, and sooner or later, your ass will be kicked. Next time Old Glory (the US flag) passes by you during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart. Quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her --- of course, failure to do either of those could earn you a severe ass-kicking. 9) What Jane Fonda did during the Vietnam War makes her the enemy. The proper word to describe her is 'traitor.' Just mention her nomination for "Woman of the Year" and get your ass kicked. 10) Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran. We are Americans and we all bleed the same, regardless of our individual party affiliations. Our Chain of Command starts at the President, also regardless of political party, who is our Commander-In-Chief (for those who didn't know.) We have no inside track on what happens inside those big important buildings where all those representatives meet. All we know is that when those civilian representatives screw up the situation, they call upon the military to go straighten it out. If you keep asking us the same stupid questions repeatedly, you will get your ass kicked! 11) 'Your mama wears combat boots' never made sense to me --- stop saying it! If she did, she would most likely be a vet and therefore, could kick your ass! 12) Bin Laden and the Taliban are not Communists, so stop saying 'Let's go kill those Commies!' And stop asking us where he is! Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military. That reminds me --- if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers, let me know, so I can go kick their ass. 13) 'Flyboy' (Air Force), 'Jarhead' (Marines), 'Grunt' (Army), 'Squid' (Navy), etc., are terms of endearment we use describing each other. Unless you are a service member or vet, you have not earned the right to use them. That could get your ass kicked. 14) Last, but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families. Every Easter, Thanksgiving, and religious holiday that you enjoy with family and friends, please remember that there are literally thousands of sailors and troops far from home wishing they could be with their families. Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day. Without them, our country would get its ass kicked. "It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. "It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech. "It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate. "It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag." Authored by: Dennis Edward O'Brien, Sergeant, USMC Please pass this on so I won't have to kick your ass! "If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you are reading it in English, thank a veteran."
  6. 13. Don't do long approaches with danielpatricksmith.
  7. Pocket Rocket! I got one and traded my wisperlite in. I'd only go with white gas on a big old expedition. Pocket Rocket has operated at 11,000' on Raindawg and around 15 - 20 degree temps in winter.
  8. Sounds good to me. Say, Bronco, how's that penitentiary treatin' you these days? I get out in a couple months. Bubba says "HI BITCH!"
  9. Yup. If those inmates were pulling their own weight and supporting a business it would be less burden on the tax payers or maybe that education budget could go to someone who's in need of retraining or how about reducing tuition at the state schools. Move this sucka to spray already!
  10. (fingers in ears) I can't hear you! What? What's that? What did you say? I'm the funnest climber who's climbing the best? Dang it, you harshed my mellow, man.
  11. I dethatched my front yard last night with "The Thatcherizer"! I said some things I regret. Life goes on.
  12. There is (or was until recently) a call center for telemarketers at the Monroe State Penitentary. I guess it's all monitored pretty closely and any type of horseing around get's you solitary for the next millenium. You could probably find something on Google as there was some kind of media upheaval not too long ago. I have a relative who worked at the Monroe prison for several years, teaching inmates a trade through a program administered by Everett Community College. He still has inmates call him up and thank him for giving them the ability to make a living once they were released. I prefer the idea of businesses actually performing "on the job" training for inmates instead of convicted criminals getting a journeyman's certification at the taxpayer's expense.
  13. You don't know how hard it was for me to resist recomending deadlifting the couch to the guy looking for core training advice.
  14. You know what really scares me is - what are all of the internet junkies going to do for entertainment if the w.w.web is taken down? what will I do?

    Baghdad Today

    Didn't I see reports that one or more Iraqi detainees died at the the hands of their American captors in AGP? There's a contractor on trial for a death.... I'm pretty sure that was in Afganistan.
  16. Amen to that. I recall my wife asking me what I'm laughing about in the shower at 1 am after arriving home late and beat-up. The route is listed as grade V in some guidebooks (Nelson Potterfield for one) so don't sweat the details too much.
  17. Nice website dedicated to Mr. Moore: http://www.michaelmoorehatesamerica.com/oneSheet.html

    Party Griz

    Reefer madness: Grizzly with penchant for human treats captured and marked By SCOTT McMILLION, Chronicle Staff Writer A marijuana-munching grizzly bear with a history of belly-flopping on tents in Yellowstone National Park likely has a short future in the wild. The 332-pound, 5-year-old bear has been captured, marked and released so rangers can tell if he reverts any of his old tricks again. Unfortunately, the bear has earned some food rewards from his behavior. That, coupled with his apparent lack of fear of humans, means that if he pulls any more stunts, he'll likely be killed or sent to a zoo. For the past two summers, the bear has been pouncing on tents both in front country and backcountry campsites in the northern reaches of Yellowstone, park grizzly specialist Kerry Gunther said Tuesday. In most cases, the bear got no food rewards. But in one incident, he might have gotten more than he bargained for. The tent contained some marijuana and some candy. "There was one where he got marijuana and something like Skittles or gummy bears or something," Gunther said. There wasn't much marijuana in the tent "but it looked like the bear did eat some." In a case last summer, campers at the Slough Creek campground had a video camera and captured images of the assault on their tent. "The bear just did a belly flop on the tent and walked away," Gunther said. "It looked like he was having fun." The bear also has learned to paw through untended saddle bags and backpacks, he said. Rangers had tried unsuccessfully for two years to capture him. "He's a hit and run kind of guy," Gunther said. But they finally caught up with him May 24 in the Soda Butte Creek area. Distinctive because of some light coloring on his hind quarters and an unusually long tail, officials are pretty sure he's the same animal they've been looking for. He'll be easy to identify in the future. He's been fitted with red ear tags and a GPS radio collar wrapped in bright yellow ribbon. Since the capture, a pilot spotted the bear between two buildings in Cooke City, eating garbage, Gunther said, and the bear is now in the backcountry. Residents in that town northeast of the park have seen him often enough to bestow a nickname. They call him Thumper, Gunther said, while Park Service officials usually call him "the long-tailed bear." The bear has never injured anybody, but since people have allowed him to get food rewards -- the people who left the marijuana and candy in their tent were ticketed, Gunther said -- park officials have little choice but to remove him if he comes into contact with people again. "He's definitely food-conditioned and he's acclimated" to people, Gunther said. "It's a bad combination." It's both illegal and dangerous to leave food where a bear can get it, the Park Service reiterated Tuesday. "Human foods are the chief culprit in the creation of problem bears and can lead to their becoming increasingly aggressive, requiring their destruction or removal from the area." This isn't the first time in Yellowstone a bear has taken to crashing tents. A few years ago, Gunther captured a bear with similar habits. That one had been nicknamed Kelty, after the popular brand of tents, and eluded capture until Gunther found the right enticement. "I baited him in with a tent," Gunther recalled.

    rc.com is lame

    "V16" what's that translate to in engrish? 5.8+?
  21. How old are those Atomics?
  22. Blake: I've been lifting off and on for years (mostly off) and have found some good info on various lifts at www.testosterone.com which is mainly for powerlifters and body builders but still some good training advice to be found. Some exercises that are less well known that the ones you mention (which are very similar to what I include in my workout) are: Push press: Basically a "cheater" standing military press, take a moderate ammount of weight on a barbell and get set for a military press, slightly bend your legs and drive the weight up over your head using legs, calves, hips and arms (duh). The rep is completed when you are at full extension up on your toes with the weight as high as it will go. Doing 5 sets of 5 of this will beat you down. Overhead squat: holding a moderate amount of weight perform an ass to grass squat holding the barbell over your head. Actually try this with a lighter weight first, it's easy to lose your balance while driving out of the hole and I've got the scars on my forehead and dent in the wall to prove it. Mainly craps out your lower back, stabilizers and core muscles. Bent Press: Old strongman lift where you bend way over to the side and press a dumbell up in the air. Picture a straight line going from the dumbell, through your hips to the opposite foot. Makes your obliques hurt and a bunch of other muscles that I don't know the name of. That one on the exterior of your ribcage below the pec and slightly to the outside seems to get a good pumpin from the bent press. I almost forgot this one, some call it a one legged squat, I call it "THE NINJA": Stand with arms exended out to the front and one leg straight out in front, (like a ninja) now squat down on the one leg (ass to grass) and stand again. the only movement is in the leg you are stanging and squating on. Body weight only to start. Actually, I've read some posts on testosterone.com that some guys who can squat 400lbs can not perform one of these one legged squats. Great for developing balance and strength for climbing (and NINJA stuff). Reminds me of some yoda movements I saw. * Don't hurt yourself doing any of these lifts. If you do, don't sue me, go after the filthy rich owners of this website, it're primarily their fault for letting me run amok here spewing advice about stuff that I really have no idea about anyway.
