Here we go, party's getting bigger... Oh, yeah... and then this happens: [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-26-2001).]

Heads... all the way (through).

freeclimb- Thanks, great idea, I'll have to give it a try. BTW, was that a typo or Freudian slip... some kind of kinky activities with your "Vinylove"? I can't help but notice all the interesting words in your post: wet, softer, screw, bare. Hmm....

I finally spotted one:

ooh. she's a hottie

Sounds like Will couldn't afford much more since he's sold everything, so he looked around his yard (er, behind the van) and found a bleach bottle some had tossed to the side of the road... excuse me, I mean the side of his yard.

Wil- Thought you might appreciate this one (I know... I've got to stop). Welcome to the initiation.

Dru- I'm not sure if the seriousness of your apology has been lost on this thread or not. The puking smilies are pretty cool, though.

Now I want you kids to think seriously about using these emoticons. I came across this... enjoy: "Here are just a few reasons why they should be banned: *They reflect the moral vision of your fourth grade teacher. Smileys belong on spelling tests, math homework and essays about your summer vacation -- not on informed communication between adults. *They consume disk space. Not much, perhaps. But at a time when many users are falling back on compression software because of dwindling disk reserves, smileys have become the cellulite of network back ends. *They contribute to computer injuries. Typing extra colons, hyphens and commas can spead the road to RSI - repetitive strain injury. *They're heavy-handed. Attaching a smiley to something that's funny is like elbowing someone after telling them a joke and saying, ``Get it?'' *They're dysfunctional. Attaching a smiley to something that isn't funny doesn't make it so. *Smileys can be confusing. There are literally hundreds of them, so many that entire dictionaries have sprung up. Many must be explained every time they're used - tell me what @8-I means, for instance - defeating the very point of their existence. *They're unnecessary in most cases. The primary reason smileys didn't exist for so long is that good writers did not need them. A cleverly constructed sentence, finely wrought witticism or deft turn of phrase needs nothing to clarify or punctuate. It's a thing of beauty. Good writing needs smileys like the Mona Lisa needed lipstick and eye shadow."

I think you wanted this:

Will- Nice rebuttal to lambone's challenges. Sometimes we think we see a picture, but often don't know all the facts behind it. Good to see someone putting some deeper thought into their posts (no offense lam' - you're totally entitled to question).

Yeah, but since I didn't get any inquiries on it, I changed my mind and decide to keep it. Sorry.

Yeah, I just saw it... and, well, you came to mind. Oh, you mean the beer guy. I just found your earlier post. Shoot! I though I was being original. But you know what's best about him? He never stops drinking. Just beer after beer after beer... [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-25-2001).]

Have fun, wish I could come...

Thanks, those are great. Now we'll probably see them all over this board... [This message has been edited by Jman (edited 07-25-2001).]

Dru- Where do you get those cool animated things?!

nolanr- That's funny, my wife went skinny dippin' in Spectacle Lk, too (last Sept). She didn't seem to care if someone saw her, since it wouldn't be anybody she would ever see again. And if she ever has to pee on the trail (when there's no other place to go, like on switchbacks) she asks me to stand guard *only* to tell her if someone is coming (just like Drederek). The thought never even crossed our minds to make someone stop on the trail and wait. Who are we to tell someone else when they can and can't walk on the trail?

Me- "Is building a hiking trail in the wilderness taking something away from nature and permanently damaging it?" I've given thought to that, too. Remember, trails are used by more than just humans. I would venture to say some of the modern trails were in existence long before white man - goats, deer, elk, etc. all trample out small paths and I'm sure some of these became the 'path' we travel today. In addition, a trail is not a permanent defacement of the land - trails do eventually 'grow' back if not maintained. Holes in rock on the other hand do not. "But we would not like to see a whole grid of trails through a forest?" I agree. Again, the key word is respect. In order to live on this planet some amount of 'irreversible' change is necessary. But consider how it will impact future generations - is the change to suit my selfish pursuits at the present? Or, would it be better left alone? Ask: How am I showing respect for others and respect for the land/property of someone else?

Yoss- "I didn't land on the moon either, but it's still good to know we made it." I don't really care that man landed on the moon. It's simply a 'look-what-we-did-and-we-did-it-first" accomplishment. Really, of what practical use is it to you personally that someone has walked on the moon? "If your not going to climb El Cap, what do you care if there are some pins under the Great Roof?" How would you feel if the Americans (or, Russians) left metal junk on the moon after they had achieved their 'quest'? - you're never going there, right? "Use chalk, ever left a jammed nut, or pulled off a handhold?" No. You probably could (but haven't) figured from my comments that I don't climb. However, that makes me no less entitled to my views of how public land should be used (not abused). In fact, I might represent an even greater majority - the non-climbing community - as opposed to the relative minority of climbers, and the fewer yet who believe they have a right to bolt. Lesson: consider all opinions on public land, not just those of climbers. Dwayner- "This "regurgitation" IS changing things." Thanks for pointing this out. I have been considering branching out into climbing and originally thought it no big deal to just buy some quickdraws to climb 'sport' routes. However, due to this site ALONE my view have been drastically changed. I no longer feel it is ok to permanantly impact even stupid rocks. And you're right about slings, they can easily be removed without any impact (that I know of).

Prices just reduced.
