  1. More pics! I suppose that guy next to you is Ragnarok?
  2. I was along the I-90 corridor last weekend and found pretty damp conditions, they've had quite a bit of moisture the last 3 weeks. Here is a link to the telemetry sites if you're interested in that info. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/Missoula/nwsomso.sfcrgl.html

    People of Earth

    I wonder if it was related to this email I recieved last night: FROM: THE DESK OF DR.VICTOR UBA. FEDERAL MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES Alternative email:ubavictor@web-mail.com.ar. Dear Sir, TRANSFER OF US$20MILLION INTO A PERSONAL/COMPANY’S OFFSHORE ACCOUNT. May I respectfully invite your kind attention to the above subject matter and to state that based on information gathered from the relevant Federal Ministry of Trade, Commerce and Tourism, we, intend to solicit your assistance in the execution of a business transaction. It is our sincere conviction that you will handle this transaction with absolute confidentiality, maturity and utmost sense of purpose. I wish to further inform you that we have twenty Million U.S. Dollars(US$20M) which accrued overtime from deliberately inflated contract awarded in my Ministry (Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources) and executed by a consortium of multinationals in the Oil Industry. The projects executed include the following: 1. The expansion of pipeline network within Nigeria for Crude Oil and Downstream products distribution and subsequent evacuation. 2. Contract for the Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) of the three Refineries In the country. 3. The construction of storage tanks for Petroleum Products (Depots). Consequently, we humbly request your gracious assistance and permission towards the remittance of the above stated amount into a personal/company/offshore account nominated by you. We propose tentatively that you will receive 30% of the total sum, and the remaining 70% is for my colleagues and me. However, this is negotiable in the event of your willingness to assist. Could you please notify me of your acceptance to carry out this transaction urgently by email email addresses:ubavictor@web-mail.com.ar only, on the receipt of this message. I shall in turn inform you of the modalities for a formal application to secure the necessary approvals for the release of this fund into your account. This transaction from the day of commencement will not take more than ten(10) working days. Thanks for your co-operation. Yours sincerely Dr.Uba Victor ------------------------------------------ Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr
  5. I always found putting raw hamburger in my running shoes to be a good way to get some interval training while out for a jog in dog infested neighborhoods.

    2. People who premise a comment by saying "Now I'm not trying to (fill in the blank)...BUT," and then they go ahead and do what they just said they weren't trying to do.

    1. Commie liberal moonbats. That's pretty much it.
  8. Everyone should check out: http://gorp.away.com/gorp/publishers/wildernesspress/trailsafe/trailsafe.htm I read the articles a few years ago and think it's valuable info. I've run into more excentric whack jobs in the mountains than I ever have in Seattle. I can e-mail a version I downloaded into MSWORD if you send me a PM with your address.
  9. I have a golite Reach jacket (currently on www.sierratradingpost.com for $79) that weights 10 oz. Very lightweight and compact which is all I wanted. It rides the bottom of the pack just fine. I finally wore the dang thing last weekend as I left my softshell in the truck and we were getting some heavy wet snow. I paid $29 for mine on some clearance internet sale. I'd be wary of this one if you actually intend to wear it much, the fabric doesen't seem to be ready for much abuse. I take it only as insurance incase my softshell gets wetted out, which hasn't happend yet. If you're planning to actually depend on the raincoat, you might look at something built a little beefier. Oh yeah, the Reach has a funky cut, long arms so when you "reach" over your head, your wrists don't pop out. The rest of the time, you have this bunch of fabric at your wrist which is not noticable if you're wearing a glove with a gauntlet but anoying otherwise. The hood is big and floppy, fits good with a helmet, irritating without one you almost need to wear a baseball cap to keep the hood from flopping down over your eyes. Big vent across the back and 2 tiny napoleon pockets, big enough for a set of keys or pack of gu.

    Dannyism?

    How much can he deadlift? That is the question.
  12. I'm sorry you believed me. DOH!!!
  13. Sorry Jon.
  14. I like the part where the bum's chase Lance when he crosses under I-5 near the U district. They're all like "hey, get-im, he's probably got something we can steal and sell for thunderbird money!!!" and he's like "eat balls, you couldn't catch me on your best day" then they're probably like "yeah, get outa here or we'll kick your ass!!!" I think Nike should let me narrate the entire commercial. I'd sell a bunch of shoes.
  15. WOW!! I'm super impressed you can almost powerclean your bodyweight!! I would never poke fun at someone on this website, especially an administrator. I might be sent to banned camp for hurthing their wittle feewings. My dad can outrun your dad any day of the week. I'M RICK JAMES BIATCH!!!
  16. That one's sold out, has no hood and is 5 oz HEAVIER!

    taco bell

    How about that little mexican hole, er place in Yucca, near Joshua tree? Bullet holes in the windows, Bible literature on the tables, 2 great tacos, a can of pop and a plate of black beans for $2.50. I think the three of us ate dinner for $8.00 while the cook unknowingly serenaded us from the kitchen. Had a jelly doughnut from next door for desert.
  18. Oh wait, that's me
  19. Yeah!! He's probably one of those tough guys who think they're hot shit becuase he can squat like 400 pounds but can't get a 125 pound deadlift off the ground. You know deep down he's a crying little kitten
  20. $89.00 at sierra trading post. Seems pretty light weight to be real warm, but probably just fine for 3 season climbing around here. Nice looking hood too. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/xq/asp/base_no.42974/dept_id./qx/product.htm

    Hammer

    For a lighter weight hammer, you might check out the Grivel Thor hammer. I have one and it's pretty nice for alpine type stuff where I might be pounding a couple pins and testing a few on the route, Probably not so good if you're going on a multi day nailing quest as it is a little light. Also check out the www.fish.com for more info on hammers. I've never been a big fan of the tubular steel hammer handles like on the cassin, they tend to break without warning, at least the carpentry hammers I've had with that type of handle do.

    Aww, C'mon!

    You got that right! I was actually on "probation" for a while and had to attend "aggressive driving counciling". "It appears most of your infractions occured in rural areas, why do you feel you speed more in these areas than say, the freeway?" I'm thinking "I don't, I can just spot the cops easier on the freeway" but I bit my tounge and said "I usually take the back roads, I guess I should be more careful".

    Aww, C'mon!

    I talked my way out of a ticket for doing 86 in a 40 when I was sixteen and had a clean driving record. I actually got pulled over 7 times before I recieved my first ticket. As the red and blue light up my rearview, I put on my best sheepish country boy face and big round innocent eyes. "Yes sir?" "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "Yes sir, I believe I was speeding a little" "A little? Try 46 miles over the speed limit!" "Woah, that is pretty dangerous, luckily you were here to set me straight. I barrowed my sisters car and it seems to go a lot faster than my old truck. That was really dumb for me to be going that fast." "It certainly was! What's your big hurry anyway?" "I just got back in town and was driving to my gurlfriend's house and was just anxious to see her." "Give me your license and registration. I bet you're not in a hurry anymore, are yah?" "No sir!" Goes back to the police car and checks my record, finds I'm clean and doesen't want to be the guy who puts the first blemish on such a nice kid's record. "OK, I'm gonna let you go with a verbal warning this time but next time..." "Thank you sir!" vroom!
