Don't you own a mirror?

Classic Trask!

The friend I saw KBv1 with postulated that the reason why they made that one scene in animation instead of real life actors is that it would be distasteful to make a child actor play such a gory emotional scene. I don't know, seems plausible to me.

Apologies if this has been uploaded in Spray recently, but it was funny enough for me to include: Divergent Economic Philosophies Across the Globe DEMOCRAT You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. Barbra Streisand sings for you. REPUBLICAN You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So? SOCIALIST You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow. COMMUNIST You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour. CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows. DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government. BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours the milk down the drain. AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you have downsized and are reducing expenses. Your stock goes up. FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch and drink wine. Life is good. JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school. GERMAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year. ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good. RUSSIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You have some vodka. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have. TALIBAN CORPORATION You have all the cows in Afghanistan, which are two. You don't milk them because you cannot touch any creature's private parts. Then you kill them and claim a US bomb blew them up while they were in the hospital. IRAQI CORPORATION You have two cows. They go into hiding. They send radio tapes of their mooing. POLISH CORPORATION You have two bulls. Employees are regularly maimed and killed attempting to milk them. FLORIDA CORPORATION You have a black cow and a brown cow. Everyone votes for the best looking one. Some of the people who like the brown one best, vote for the black one. Some people vote for both. Some people vote for neither. Some people can't figure out how to vote at all. Finally, a bunch of guys from out-of-state tell you which is the best-looking cow. CALIFORNIA CORPORATION You have millions of cows Most are illegals Arnold likes the ones with the big tits.

That's weird, but interesting. Poor naked porn monkey. Look at his sad face. Probably didn't get the movie contract.

This is Ade <-- On this page, you can send him a PM (button at bottom of that page). Cheers, Paul

Also, I want to take exception to Kurt getting some free advertising on this website. This kind of crap has got to stop.

Aint ready. Mid winter: good. Last Thursday. {Note that this thread should be in the Alpine Lakes Forum. Southern Cascades is too far south of Chair.}

We are talking Nike here. (Gosh, they make watches now?). I bet the blinking is a marketing scam to get people to buy a new Nike watch. You know, like how their shoes wear out and they expect you to buy a new pair of the same brand name.

Say, wouldn't a rat's ass be considered part of Mother's nature? This would mean she could indeed give a rat ass.

I would suggest visiting a watch store or maybe something like REI's watch/sunglasses counter. Or maybe try their online database. The guy at the jewelry store showed me both a stainless steel version and a titanium version of the Tissot watch. The titanium version felt much lighter, as is to be expected. The band and case are titanium. Casio, Sunto, and Tissot are three altimeter watches I can think of off the top of my head. There are more, I'm sure.

Ever got stuck behind a semi truck on a logging road? Either have I. Now that would suck!

With a beer special like the one you provided, it was a given we'd drain those kegs. Thanks for putting the fest on, Jon. And it was good to finally meet you in person.

I think Cracked's point was valid. If you want to speed climb for your own experimentation, then so be it. If you feel like telling us what you've learned about yourself, then it more often than not comes across as chestbeating.

I met The Man too...at Dixies BBQ.

So, I was in a jewelry store today getting a new strap for my old Casio altimeter watch (still works after 10 years) and the clerk showed me the new Swiss-made Tissot altimeter-temperature-compass watch. Anybody got this bad boy? Only something like $599 in the store I was in... Tissot Bad Boy The watch operates by touching the face over the corners to initiate the features labeled in the corners. One thing I found cool is how the hands move to point to due north when in compass mode. I certainly didn't like the way touching the face leaves big fat fingerprint smudges on it thus curtailing efficient reading of it. Other than that, too pricey for my needs. The store said they were selling them out fast. I think he was just giving me a sales pitch. But then again, this is a yuppie town (though Ballard aint that yuppie).

Troll.

Catbird, Trask wasn't talking to you. He was talking to Catturd. Say, doesn't Catturd = Trask?

I'd wait till this cold snap snaps if you want warmer temperatures. I was up at 6,300 feet today and it was very cold. Maybe something like 15F (0F with windchill) at that altitude. Seems to be a large pressure gradient across the Cascades right now making things, at times, uncomfortably windy.

Stanton: you should have gone with Toast and me up Kaleetan if you were out today. Not too much snow up there but it was Brrrrrrrrrr! I'm guessing it was 15F up there but with a windchill making it feel like 0F. 4.5 hours up, 1/2 hour at summit, 3 hours down. Would have taken about a half-hour shorter going up but we wound up doing the 3Gs Route (as in Triple Gullies) when we could have stayed on the ridge crest bootpath the whole time . Melakwa Lake is beginning to freeze over. Chair Peak looked spectacular in these conditions. Saw lots of hints of ice climbing ice forming up on the hike in--particularly the first falls (the one below Snowshoe Falls).

Mt. Jupiter (NE of Brothers) has a trail all the way to the top. It's a long way I hear (I haven't done the climb but want to sometime), but totally doable in a day. Summit is 5,700 ft. Trail goes up the length of the East Ridge. Mabye something like 10 miles one way.

Paco: take a digi camera and get a picture of it. I'd like to see it, as would lots of others probably. Is this one of the Rumors in the new ice climbing guide?

He probably was doing a search on "decayed penis."

A new article on Yahoo concerning this device: All Hell Breaking Lose? Scrambler: I'm pretty sure the FCC has jurisdiction over IR wavelengths. Remember, it's the Federal Communications Commission. Any device that communicates with another via some transmitted signal (be it IR or UV or anything in between) ought to be covered by the FCC. If not, then there's a big loop hole just waiting to be taken advantage of. Highly doubtful.

You and your pictures of naked monkeys. Sick! Just sick!
