Funny funny thread! Yep, nuthin's changed with them momes. You don't expect the Daily staff to moil the day away for the sake of a good article, do you? I think in my six years at UW I maybe read...let's see...zero well-written articles in The Daily. The thing I remember most is that they never got to the point--ever. The suck-ass cartoons in it were the best thing going for it, and that aint saying much. There was once when I was in a stall taking a dump at UW and there wasn't a Daily laying in there with me so I was forced to use TP for once. And that heavily adjectival description of Colin: come on! This is an article about climbing, not a climber in general. I didn't know he intends to be a mechanical engineer, though. That's cool.

Or go the long way around. It does make planning for next year a little more irksome though.

Tantalizing post, no pictures.

John, don't you ever quit? I think if you keep it up you'll soon pass Trask as the premier thread starter on this site? Where do you find all these oddball topics? Shouldn't you instead be looking for...A JOB?

I just like my beer alcoholic.

Dude, what are the chances of doing that (if you tried to do it)? A 1 in 50,000,000 shot to make a bullet shot up in the air come back down on a specific guy's head. Admittedly, the firer wasn't trying to hit anyone. He was only trying to shoot the black night, it symbolically representing a Black Knight. But, if there's a huge crowd, the odds go up. I have always wondered if this has ever happened or has happened regularly.

I have actually thought about this in the sense that how hard a route is often depends on one's height. If the setter is 6 feet tall and he/she judges it to be a 5.9, this might turn out to be a 5.10 (or worse) for someone who is only 5'6". Maybe each route is rated by the setter for an average height, which I suppose is implied. But if a setter is of above average height, then he/she may rate it too easy for the person who is of average (lower) height, i.e., it will appear harder for the shorter person.

Damn, posted in wrong thread.

Or I suggest you PM Scot'THCyx for a first-person account if you're going to write a book about the incident or want some worthy pointers. By the way, girlclimber, I like your Member # (4444). Pretty cool. I guess someone had to get it.

Beating a dead horse

How about who cares.

New possibility: Acquire some of those car-tire puncturing tacks like the police use. Throw them in the road on the escape route. The perpetrators probably won't even see the tacks if the road is gravel. There would have to be a fair number of tacks to ensure that a flat did occur. In this way, they wouldn't break down right away whereupon they could accost us. Instead, they'd have to pull up on the freeway or drive on the flat(s). In the meantime, the police could move in effectively. This would obviously require a timely flat (not too quick, not too late).

We can't all have first names as stupid as yours, Off.

Uh-oh, here we go again: another Mountie bashing thread.

Where's the love? To love thy Mounties one must love thyself.

The link don't work!

That's alright, cuz Dave Schuldt is so

From yesterday's outing: We discovered that Money Creek Road (FR-6420) off of Hwy 2 is closed about 4.5 miles in from Miller River Campground. This is due to a huge washout across the road. The 20-ft long by 5-foot diameter duct is sticking almost straight up in the air in the washout (in the middle of the road). This is probably for the creek draining out of Cement Lake high up on Crosby Mountain.

What?

Yeah, that's true. Didn't think about that. I have GC on a comedy tape. Listened to it not too long ago. Here's one from that tape (best if read/spoken in Carlin's special style): "I got fired the other day in Vegas for saying 'shit' in a town where the main game is called 'crap.' Fired me. Shit."

From an average temperatures perpective: see here. Also, expect much more windiness than here in Seattle. To some, it is this wind more than the temperatures that drives people away. It's an acquired taste....or touch, as it were. Other than that, I can't offer you any advice. I've been through Laramie and parts of SE Wyoming. There's a lot of nothing out there. The best climbing fun is generally a day's drive away (e.g. Wind River Range & Devils Tower).

No. Suffer.

Mmm-mmm, FU flavored GU. Enough FU for maybe 100 GU's. {Sorry, couldn't resist.}

Are you sure that's not a picture of Janet Jackson?
