Elect this man. He took a bullet for you.

That's clever. Who could forget this "blooper" from the Reagan era: "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

What do you call this one?

Absolutely!

yes... I am 22 Look who's coming to your party!

With your invitation. When I read through the recent Infinite Bliss thread in Access, I can't help thinking about "Dwayner the Prophet". I'm amazed at just how far up his ass whoever is responsible for Dwayner's banning must have a 4X4 rough cut cedar post lodged sideways.

You wanna be buff? Let me tell you how I got buff. I work it out with MARY ANN

Jesus, Offwhite, that is positively disturbing! BTW, What's the difference between a Harley and a Hoover?

And don't forget the Zappabrot.

Anybody see the light show this morning? A half an hour later, I found this guy in the back yard sitting in my daughter's inflatable pool mumbling something about space travel.

I took this one at Smith Rocks.....

The Buddhabrot. Everything is mathematics.

Ass Boy, I hate to sound like your dad, but the ideal place to practice crevasse rescue (assuming you haven't practiced previously) is on a "dry" glacier (that is, on a glacier where there is little/no ephemeral snow cover). This time of year, on your way to the obvious crevasse on the Cowlitz, you will likely traverse many hidden crevasses which, in this warm weather, could be revealed when you punch through a soft snow bridge. Then you'll have a rescue "practice" which incorporates too many aspects of reality (possible injuries/deaths). It is preferable to practice crevasse rescue for the first time in a forgiving environment (a small retaining wall, for example). If you are going to venture onto a glacier to practice crevasse rescue for the first time, it is wise to go in July/August at a lower elevation where all winter/spring snow has melted and where you can see every crevasse. The Nisqually glacier (below Glacier Vista) provides excellent opportunities. In these conditions, ice screws may be helpful. Again, this advice is hyper precautionary, but I've attended crevasse rescue practices which nearly turned into rescue situations. And as good as he is, a little precaution is more likely to save your butt than an rescue plea to Big Lou.

My favorite movie. My favorite character. Any questions?

That guy looks like Jens the last time I saw Jens. Looks as though you guys had a good time on lower Castle. The Bone is a tremendous pitch. Anway, you're talking about the Brass Balls photo in the new guide. That was a few years ago, before I had dependents. These days, I generally avoid such tests.

Don't want to pay up? Maybe you should start sending all of your bouldering photos HERE where we can give you the love we know you need!

Mister E, is that Jens in your photo? Damn, he hasn't aged a bit. My weekend? I got a new barbeque!

Whaaaaaaaaaaa. There's a way around this, punk. Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying. In fact, I might pay retroactively if we could get Dwayner back on board. I mean, suppose I subscribe. On a whim, one of the 23 moderators could ban me and then I'd be out my $20. I've been banned for something I said to PP in a private message for crying out loud! On the other hand, the guys who got this site going are cool cats. Jon's trying to cure cancer, Timmy just gave me a free page worth of web design advice. These guys rock and I think they deserve our support. Distel, for $20 a year, you have a venue in which to post a plethora of images of yourself, with a captive audience that really appreciates these contributions. Where else are you going to find this outlet for your insatiable ego? I'd say it's a bargain at any price. Pope.

"Lay an egg" provides amusement. Also try "shake your tail feathers", "chicken dance" and "goose step".

Wow, that's kind of like taking "God" out of the Pledge to protect the feelings of two or three school children (who probably don't give a flying flip one way or the other when their parents aren't in the room).

Practically everybody at Hempwood is in a band....or at least comes to school looking like it. If you wanna be a cool-cat teacher, try emulating these guys:

Peaches come in a can! They were put there by a man! In the factory downtown.... Enough with your marijuana music/teenage wind.

"Quitting is a habit that becomes difficult to quit." Some of those guys are still around, having merely "morphed" into new cyber characters. But in general, you're right. The guys who were truly clever and entertaining, those who voiced controversial viewpoints have been chased away. And it's a good thing too. According to one post I read today, instead of bolts and low-adventure climbing getting us into trouble with land managers (due to the crowds these climbs attract), it was the rowdy and "irresponsible" discourse on cc.com that motivated land managers and preservation groups to move to restrict our access.

Used-to-be's don't make honey.
