Mold isn't much of a return on your investment.

I'll second David Parker's enzyme killer idea. I've tried soap, lysol, basically everything under my sink. Stick the cat in the sprayed pack and close the lid for a few hours. It might not stop the spraying, but it might make you feel better.

The guy can't even belch without looking at a script. His handlers are afraid of him saying something stupid like "It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America." No, wait, he already said that.

Got this from your link. I think it was from a list of responses to actual posts on a BB: "I was thinking of naming my son Toolio. Does anyone know the origin on that one? ---[Jane] DeSac Toolio DeSac. Boy, can't think of any way that kid'll get picked on. That's one taunt-proof name there!"

first of all it is a flake. right above the bottom bolt is a bomber nut/ tcu placement and even a pod for dru's tri-cams. well shit we might have to bolt libra crack as it si in danger of expanding same with city park... granite is sketchyyyyy! edit: also nice looking nut placement to teh right of the second bolt. if the flake is as sketchy and chossy as you say, why would you wanna climb it. There are routes out there that are just committing enough that to come across a feature like that I described affords you no other options but to climb through them, pro or not. As for my description... It was an inference merely for the sake of making a point that what is seen in the picture isn't the whole story and therefore to jump on the "chop it now" bandwagon might be a bit of a knee jerk. And yes, granite can be sketchyyyyy.

Perched blocks; any outward force and they blow. The only way to get throught that section is downward pulls on the creaky flakes, and even then they might go. Hence the bolts for pro to keep you from landing on the ledge, with the flakes landing on top of you.

uh. i cant find the punchline. It's satirical. There is no punchline.

Dude. WTF? Less bovinism, more humanism. We are neither sheep nor cows. The cows are a metaphor.

Take out the line about only one ass. Ambiguity breeds analysis.

If you're attached at the shoulder, why do you only have one ass?

CC.COM: One group of cows has no problem with holes being punched in their ears for tagging purposes. One group of cows is vehemently opposed to these holes. These two groups spend way too much time mooing crazily and tossing shit at each other over and over and over again. All to no avail, because the fucking holes are going to be punched anyway by people who have no idea that these two groups of battling cows, or their for/next arguments exist.

Look up a book entitled The Rape of Nanking. Between December 1937 and March of 1938, the Japanese Imperial Army committed "one of the greatest atrocities of modern times." In those 4 months, between 250,000 and 300,000 people were slaughtered, many of them women and children, often for sport. Over 20,000 Chinese females, some as young as 7, were raped and then murdered. As recently as the 1990's, Japanese government officials have denied, discounted, or shown little remorse for the acts of Japanese soldiers in Nanking. Despite all of this, I can't say that the largely civilian populations on the receiving end at Hiroshima and Nagasaki deserved what they got.

Bataan Death March- 6 days, 90 miles. The P.O.W's were moved by foot, carrying their own rations to the border of Bataan and Pampango. Troops started to march in a long column on a dusty road without food and water. For many of the bloody, frail men, this was the last march. One man fell from exhaustion and was then flatten by a tank, as all the other troops witnessed this horrible action, other soldiers were hit by Japanese trucks passing by. The P.O.W's were forced to stand next to a fresh stream but weren't allowed to drink from it, even though they were exhausted and dehydrated , after a while one soldier could not take it any more, he ran to the stream and fell in, face first, to drink. Immediately one of the Japanese guards ran over, pulled his sword out and cut his head off.. A great many men reached the end of their endurance. The dropouts became numerous. They fell on the roadside, some making no effort to rise. Groaning and weeping, some succeeded while others fell back helplessly. As the march continued, the diseased, starving men staggered up the dusty road, prodded by the Japanese guards to keep moving. As one soldier was dying, he cried for water. He died on the dusty road. The heat of the day was so intense that they were half crazy from thirst. They arrived at a small stream that was contaminated with filthy water, a bloated corpse filled with maggots, this filthy stream the P.O.W's were allowed to drink from, as the Japanese guards laughed at them. Of the approximate 68,000 who endured the march, more than 9000 never finished. Those that survived had nothing to look forward to but an unknown amount of time as prisoners of the Japanese Imperial Army.

exactly. So start a thread about what a cool guy Drew is at bivouac.com Or don't support megalomania. Now why didn't I thnk of that.

exactly. So start a thread about what a cool guy Drew is at bivouac.com cuz we aren't talking about that.

"ah yes another person practicing what they preach" Hey, I'm no saint, but I've also never called any tr on this site "shitty", nor made such a blanket statement. The tone of your collective 9999+ posts over the years has been largely "either stupid, irrelevant, sarcastic, or just plain annoying." Your signal to noise ratio is definately leaning toward noise. To your credit, there have been some pretty cool items generated from your direction, but in the end I generally pass over the Hello Kitty icon, because I don't care to wade through the majority. Harpell, this isn't bivouac.com. A different beast entirely.

"This board would be a lot better place if more people lead by example" Will you begin anytime soon? Lead by example Dru. At least reduce the snide, bullshit posts like the one above. No tr is shitty to the one who posted it. If it doesn't float your boat, stop reading it. It's an open forum. People post because they feel a kinship with others who do the same as them and they want to share the cool feeling they get from whatever climbing they do. "Shitty tr that no one can respond to" smacks of elitism that I would hope you would be above.

"super secret mod forum" Do you discuss nehru jackets and plaid bell bottoms and such? Seriously, I think this thread you proposed is a cool idea. Gathering links to sites that focus on the broad spectrum of rock climbing and rock routes would be a pretty nifty resource. On the other hand, doing that omnipotent thing might put a crimp in your ability to keep the links to current and active only. Stick the Voodoo Wall link in there. It's worthy.

I was expecting the omnipotent PP to make the other "RCLinks" a more happening thread than it has so far become. Anyway, I nominate the Voodoo Wall site. It is, IMO, good documentation of a new route on a rather mysterious feature at Darrington.

Elephant Perch for sure. Also check out the Finger of Fate. The Open Book route is an area classic: 5 pitches of 5.8-5.9 with an interesting finish on the summit block.

Hmmm... "I am glad Bush is a cowboy. He’ll get his man. Cowboys do, you know. Go Bush 2004" Quite the change in tune...but that's a good thing.

ESP experiment. Can you guess the word I think when I see that picture? Shwingggg!

"US Cruise missiles sent specifically to divert attention from “Monicagate.” Corroborating evidence please.

If the US military were to return to the body counts like those of the Vietnam era, that will mean taking responsibility for the killing. If the US military have no record of the deaths exacted, it deters viewing what is happening as inhumane and irrational. The US military should be made to recognize the humanity of the victims of this war by making a permanant, historical record of what is being done rather than just erasing them from existence.
