But that doesn't mean the cost of his education is covered by his tuition, does it? Come on, if you live in a state 9 months out of the year, you should be required to be a resident.

Be sure to move the fuck back to Oregon when I'm done paying for your education!

Uh, bullshit, cracked. You pay sales tax all the time. Like on all those books you bought for school. The REI dividend is only 8% if you don't pay cash or have an REI Visa, btw. Clearly NMS is a better deal.

Why is the Trip Report button so confusing?

cracked, I don't think I saw you move from your spot the whole night, and then you were gone.

I did? I don't remember having that conversation... and I only had two "soda pops" that night. It was confusing being in the same area as another Ralph... I kept hearing women calling my name, but then I'd see 'em talking with some other guy ( tread_tramp). to whoever brought the corn! And the pasta. And the burgers. And all the other stuff I ate. Yum! Good times.

Apparently *you* thought it was Thursday, chuck. Where were ya? There was quite a crowd at the horseshoe pits.

That col makes for a pretty cool camp. Last fall I watched a family of ptarmigans, just turning white for the winter, foraging around the rocks.

Which of the three ridges on Forbidden is "the ridge"?

I'll bring tortilla chips 'n salsa, pretzels, and ketchup & mustard. I like a little red onion on my burgers, so I'll bring one of those, too.

Behemoth:

I don't remember it being run out with just a set of nuts, but you might bring smaller cams. If I remember correctly, there's nothing larger than small-hand-size.

Guye Peak S Rib is more of a scramble and is an awfully short trip. The rock is good enough, it's the trees that will leave you cursing.

You could definitely do Ingalls. The belay stations are bolted for that alpine sport climbing feel and you can lead the whole route with a set of nuts. Dunno about the snow, since I've only been there in the fall. I second chuck's recommendation of camping near Ingalls Pass. Nice views all around from there.

More hooks? Which ones?

I'd fight for something I believed in. I don't believe in Bush, so I won't fight his stupid war. You don't believe in Kerry, so you won't fight for him. What's the difference?

The Cramps! Ivy is a foxx. I saw the Amazing Royal Crowns open for them once... awesome show! I guess each of us has our own way of dealing with existential angst... better to beat and get beaten by your friends than to go out Kurt Cobain-style. I'll slug you in the mouf if it'll make you feel better, DoLittle, but I'd rather just have a and relax.

Where are the pictures of Gary trundling onto unsuspecting gapers?

It'll tell you.

So this explains why you've spent the last several pages explaining and justifying your self-loathing to everyone!

Fairweather, do you have something to say about Bill Clinton here that will enlighten the liberals to their folly?

My HB offsets have it. It's harder to color-code brass by anodizing . I like the colored stuff for the same reason I like my Smiley nuts: faster identification of sizes.

Clinton is not the issue, dude. Apples to oranges. It's Bush v. Kerry now. Dole didn't have to parade his war hero status because Clinton was clearly a draft dodger, duh. Bush's records show a bare minimum of service in their most optimistic reading. His fellow Guardsmen won't vouch for him. And yet Bush plays up his military image, as if he's got any cred.

What's your point, Fairweather? "I don't think this is bad, but somebody might, so I'll bring it up because it'll hopefully turn some liberals against Kerry." What do you think of Kerry's service in Vietnam? Associating Jane Fonda (what an idiot! ) with Kerry, as the article you linked does, is a pretty poor attempt at slander. As far as I know, the two had nothing to do with each other, photoshopped images excluded.
