Happy now Gored? Your hero has spoken. Make it all Ti and you're off like a bride's nighty.

streak of shit? More like a river. a meandering, steaming flow of non-stop poo. This whole thing is a waste of time. And I'm standing in the midst of it. Hey speaking of which, I tried the chocolate GU this weekend. Awesome. CE

no caps cause i'm eating, but my understanding is that return on whim policy more than pays for itself. add up quickly what you have actually returned on a whim, subtract what they ended up selling it to their employees for, (a la mec) and it probably doesn't really hurt them that bad. is it immoral? morality is largely a personal thing.

thanks all. The alpha hydroxy stuff is often a good way to wake yourself up, particularly if you have chapping like I have right now. Alternatively, I'd imagine sticking a cattle prod up your ass would produce the same effect. I shall hunt out the Eucerin. Matt, belaying with sailing gloves has given me years of practice ignoring the inquisitive stares, plus you can lower people much much faster.

Thanks Ade (Friend of GB?) tried 'em, Bag Balm makes my skin freak out, I think it's the Lanolin. And Eucerin, is that OTC or do I need to suffer another round of futility with a skin guy?

Well from an amero-centric point of view fanny means ass, but go spend some time in Australia, and find out the true meaning. In fact, sit at a bar and try to pick up girls by suggesting they "plant your little fanny right here, darlin'." bahahhahaahah

This might have been better in the gear critic section, but does anyone else out there find their hands get really dry and cracked in the alpine? I have pretty nasty eczema at the best of times, but it's starting to get annoying. I spent a couple of days out and my hands look like claws. Suggestions from folks what know, or industrial skin lubricants would be appreciated.

"I just buy it for the pictures..." It's because we are a more literal people, unable to extrapolate wildly about what is truly meant by "obvious couloir" or "2nd black gully after the wide open book topped.." with a frickin' cherry or some damn thing. I think we have done our time with TFG, and now we are allowed to actually go climbing for the weekend.

Agggh, neoclassicism! Kill it kill it.

I hheard they give them a sonic bath

Anyone else remember that song by Steve Martin - "Criticize things you don't know about, be three dimensional and live in a swamp...." Thanks for the tip, Drool, I'll ask Vick to take it easy on you.

Calling all Canadians Any suggestions for accident/health insurance while climbing in the states? Too many trips with the Phillipine Air Force has made me gun shy. C

Strange? Same as I better never need an ambulance in Nelson, you better never need a Physio in Whistler. Pretzel-boy.

Dru, nevermind the hammock. Now repeat the question.

"Life is trouble only death is not. To be truly alive is to drop your pants and look for trouble." - Apparently Zorba the Greek. Dru, you can go look for trouble elsewhere and keep your pants on, k?

Do you wanna go light or do you want a go light? If you're worried about weight, buy an LED unit, but if you want to go somewhere with that light, PETZL HALOGEN. And you know what, the batteries do ok. c

Dru, Did you wake up with your panties on backwards? That means you're a victim, go and report yourself to the police.

sorry. overstepping the comfort level of the redneck [This message has been edited by verticalswamp (edited 07-25-2001).]

"You'll never get enlightenment on a full stomach, but sport fucking is ok." You go, sensi-will, oooohhhhhhmmmmmmmmm

Fishstick has handled more tools than most people in Vancouver. Excluding the Westend. Listen to his advice, but not about diet. He is also famous for the quote "Vancouver has the best legs of anywhere in Canada" This was before I moved to Whistler.

A friend wore some at the Lillooet Ice Fest and said they beat the crap out of his AFS 103's. I've heard favourable reports from rockies hard-ons I mean hard-men, but no one waxed rhapsodic about walking long distances in them. Or durability. I'd wait another year.

I never knew there were so many male nurses down there.

Anyone read any good books lately?
