Dwayner

Mr. Sabbath Muir: I see that you've taken to posting a picture of a much younger, perhaps whimsically more abrasive and one might say slightly less-groomed version of my former self. Like the fine fifteen year old port I am presently sipping, I have indeed mellowed with age, although my coterie claims I have not lost even an ounce of my seductive charm, natural physical beauty, or rapier-sharp wit, though some say the Amarni scarf MUST GO!!! (I beg to differ.) - Sir Thomas

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS! Did you see that picture of handsome Matt and his lovely bride? He's hitched now, so back off. It was embarassing how all of his friends protected him from the unending throng of babes seeking his autograph, photo and more importantly, his attention. Why do I care? Because I was constantly being approached by gorgeous women who somehow thought they could get to Matt through me, even though we're just Pube Club buddies and I climbed with him once. Even so, I feel like I'm regularly being used by these gold-diggers. Congratulations, Matt! Now maybe them girlies will leave us BOTH alone! your pal, Dwayner

Partner from hell: 'nuff said.

Ideal good partner: 'nuff said.

You want to make a difference at defiled Vantage? How about: a) a moratorium on adding more bolted routes and b) how about removing bolts close to cracks. and that's just for starters! - Dwayner...who remembers what it was. (the trail efforts have been worthwhile, I suppose)

jon-dude...you asked for it!!!! "Jon! Really! I had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with that wretched Titanic film!" - Sir Thomas

"Kurt's going to be in Vantage this Saturday and will be doing his show and spinning music in the parking lot." If he's the bolt-monster they say he is, he should feel right at home at Vantage. And spinning music in the parking lot! Such a talented young man!

Right on, Petey Puget! Your picture shows the dude in action! Looks like you saw the show too. By the way, Ringling Bros. doesn't drug their animals. They're under enough heat as it is by the animal liberators to even think about that kind of stuff. Alligators are freaky creatures...T.M. obviously knows how to handle these guys! Crocodile Hunter....he's turned soft since he got married. - Dwayner

Went to Ringling Bro's/B.B. Circus on Saturday. I saw a guy so cool that for just one shameful moment, I felt like trading in Big Lou as my alpine role model. His name is T.M. the Gator Guy. This maniac came riding in on a chariot being towed by a very expensive motorcycle that actually looked like a metallic alligator!!! Than he removed alligators from wooden boxes and placed them in such a manner they would frighten selected members of the audience. And then he ran around with a gigantic snake before taking on a jumbo-gator in the center ring. (It was so big that it took several people to lift him). THEN THE GUY STUCK HIS HEAD IN THE ALLIGATOR'S MOUTH!!!! Check this out: O.K., the picture above doesn't show his head in the lizard's mouth, but trust me, he actually does it. This guy rocks! Tell me that this isn't more dangerous than climbing Rainier 185 times....he does this stunt maybe three times a day! The circus moved on, T.M. is in some other faceless town thrilling another huge crowd....but come to think of it...I think I saw Big Lou in the audience at the Tacoma Dome....hunched down, and taking notes. - Dwayner

The lovely Fern: you shouldn't be so harsh on those slides of indoor bouldering...there were probably some awesome views of heinous crimps, sick slopers and outrageous sit-starts that had most of the audience on the edge of their seats and crying for more when the lights came on!!! "At least I won a pencil case as a door prize." ...but probably no pencil. The guy signing posters needed it. Here, Fern, I'll give you some slide-show!: - Dwayner "Did they serve those dainty little hors d'oeurves with the watercress and paté? Yummers!"

"Ooohhh... I feel a good thread coming on here. We have both the Mounties and Fee Demo going at the same time. I guess the only thing that is missing is the REI climbing dept." Sport-climbing is weak. And how about them bolts????

Dru-Dude: "If you, DTS and Pope all post at the same time then I might start to believe. Or if y'al sahow up at Pube Club and someone gets it on Video, Zapruder style." This is lame. Didn't we do something like that last year??? When you and whoever thought me and pope and Donna and others were all one and the same and then we started making rare simultaneous appearances, where were you? Someone even took pictures. You don't even show up to these things. So, keep your imagination active if you like, sparky. Proving something to you or most anyone else on this site generally ain't worth the effort. Donna has (had?) pictures of some of her climbs with pope, including the disastrous "Cirque Expedition"; maybe I can get her to post a few of those. I've seen some of them and yes, there is even a snap of crap on a sleeping bag. Like, whatever, dude.

Dru-Dude: I think you should be the appointed cc.com resident conspiracy theorist. Elvis killed Kennedy from a hovering black U.N. helicopter. I've never seen you and I've yet to hear anyone admitting to seeing you (although I don't go around asking), so how do I know you're not the Easter Bunny, "eh?"

Yah, pal, I'm Donna! Maybe you met her, Dru, she was up in B.C. last last week at Squamish, I believe. She's blonde, thirtyish, and will catch your attention. Several people on cc.com have met her, "pope" had a fling with her, I've known her even longer than "pope", and so forth. She's way smart and pretty good lookin', eh Donna? - Dwayner P.S. Donna...I'll be around Sunday afternoon. Try the cell-phone number.

L'shana tovah! Am replacing Mickey's as my favorite choice of beverage for this week only:

BIG LOU DON'T NEED SUCH THANGS!!!!

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Freshieeeeeezzzzzzz!!!!! Pow-Pow!" Yup...I guess it's time once again for you bold sport-climbers to trade in your sit-start stained tutu's for a pair of skis.

JUST JERRY LOU-IS!

Brother White...I assume that much of what you wrote deals with many of the posts above cuz I didn't say nothin about the ingrate's living here. I don't really care what the percentages are compared to others, we're still damn generous...the fact is, we give out a lot of money, and not just government money, but a lot of private organizations as well. And if someone gives me even $1, if I accept it, I'm going to say "thank you", not "I deserve it so screw you and give me some more." I'd personally like to see more of that money kept here to take care of our own citizens who might be in an unfortunate and impoverished condition.

Now I see why Dwayner and Big Lou share such a special bond. "Slothrop...you don't know from Dwayner or Big Lou!"

"..a man's voice, calm, accented with Zulu. Here's what he said: "It is high time that the rest of the world declared war on the United States." Most of these hate-spoutin', flag-burnin', anti-American 3rd-World types can't afford a bus ticket to the next village, nonetheless, come over here and make mayhem. I'd like to hear more calm voices saying "let's not let our politicians pocket away or squander the millions of dollars in generous US aid money and let's build our economy so our lifestyles will improve and we'll be less angry and frustrated."
