[ 12-03-2001: Message edited by: Dru ] Dru mon, I was going to ask you about just that, since you are the all wise one (no I don't want your ass), how are these smilies made anyway, and why can't one of us brilliant well-hung climber/computer nerds make our own smilies...perhaps one assuming the position for instance? These are important matters that need to be addressed around here.

It never hurts to have more pieces in, but I don't exactly rely on the tool as being part of the belay. As for the continuing glue issue, I agree with DP. Besides, even if you are not using the tool as part of a belay, you are still using a tool where the head and spike are glued on, which means you are trusting your life to that very same glue! Dan E. I agree with both of you guys and BD. Coming from the boat industry, when bolting on big outboard moters to boat transoms we'd drill the holes for the mounting bolts, squirt the holes full of Dow 5200 (which is a glorified glue of sorts) and bolt on the motor. Whenever we had to take one of those motors off that same transom at a later date, it would rip the damn fiberglass apart and remove big chunks of the transom along with the motor. So I agree with BD, some of the new adhesives are stronger and stickier that the product they're being used with.

Shit what's the point? [ 12-01-2001: Message edited by: trask ]

Kyle--"I was working on a clever retort to your monotonous post, but you're such a pretentious, whinny little shit, I don't care enough to waste my time. Just a few short words. After reading some of your posts, I see why Tigers eat their young. When you reach puberty, you should give some strong thought to the possibility of getting your GED and laid. Both will help straiten your ass out. Aren't you just something--whew, I'll bet you just spend hours at the mirror admiring your bad self...right? Blow me, poser..." your friend, Trask quote: Originally posted by Kyle: (What's my point? First trask, what's YOUR point, you ignorant little..... dust mite?? You pop up, spew a line or 2 of hateful, stupid or just plain annoying text, then later you pop up again to apologize for or edit your last dumb comment. I'm waiting to see the first remotely interesting or relevant utterance come from your infantile trap. Still waiting... nothing there huh? Right- I'm guessing you're an angry 14 year old girl with some serious issues... get over yourself, 'bitch'.) Holly et al, I don't think anyone here's looking for "changes" to the site... the site's fine, really, but like many common resources on the web it's slightly, shall we say, abused. If I have a point here, it's the same weak old point lots of folks have made on this and a million other internet forums- that not only is there nothing wrong with spray, there's also no harm or shame in making an attempt to stay on topic once in a while, particularly in a specialized and regional group like this. Dru suggests people should post more interesting stories... I agree completely- I for one can't get enough beta, route conditions, and TR's. But I'd guess I'm not the only one here that's reluctant sometimes to post to what seems like an overly hostile and reactionary audience. With over 1400 registered users, there seem to be only 30 or so that post with any regularity. What's with all the lurkers- surely a few of them have something interesting to share? Maybe like me, a lot of them are wondering what's the point of saying anything at all if every post gets pecked to small pieces, then sprayed into a fine mist? I also have to say I'm a bit amazed & embarrassed by some of the angry and mean-spirited jive that gets slung around here, especially lately. I think what we've got here is a classic case of November cabin fever- folks are frustrated because the rock is wet and the ice isn't formed, and they're getting all tetchy, and snapping like dogs at imaginary flies. Don't worry peeps- the ice will form, the snow will fall, and soon enough we'll all be qeueing up at the base of Chair Peak to take turns dropping ice on each other... So is there any harm in covering an entire site with spray? Probably not, but I'd submit this analogy... take Paris for example (trask- a little tip for you; it's in France). It's a great city- lots of cool things to see & do. But nearly everywhere you go in Paris you're accompanied by the ever-present stench of urine. Seriously- it's worse than the Nose route. It's because people there pee everywhere- they pee in the streets, storefronts, mailboxes, phone booths, etc. It's not for lack of restrooms, it just seems to be an arrogant & misguided expression of personal freedom- "I pee wherever I want, because I can, and to hell with anyone who doesn't like it". There are certainly more offensive smells than urine, but it strikes me as a bit sad that no one in our lifetime will ever know what Paris is like without the stink, or what a public forum is like without the spray cloud. Say whatever you want (and I'm sure you will- fire away... I won't be here to read it), but I maintain that excessive spray can and does detract from a site; it scares away sponsorship and advertising money and can keep a site from achieving its true potenti- Rrrrring!! Hold on- that's my phone. "Hello?""Kyle, it's your life calling. Line one.""What? My Life? Ohhhh, that's right- I have one." Sorry folks- I have to take this call. I'm gonna put you on hold for just a minute, but I'll be right back... Background music: awful muzak rendition of'I'm walkin on sunshine, Oh oh' (come on- sing along; you know this tune)'I'm walkin on sunshine, Oh oh''I'm walkin on sunshine, Oh oh''And don't it feel good! Doo do, doo doo doo do do do...' [ 12-01-2001: Message edited by: trask ]

I guess unless we use a new flowery border or something we can expect it to continue to be a sausage-fest. I can't imagine a woman wanting to read this shit. We're gross, disgusting pigs, thankyou very much.

I found this site using the keyword "Plumber's Butt".

quote: Originally posted by Kyle: There's nothing wrong with spray per se, but it doesn't seem to be able to stay in its place. Problem is this whole site's getting so saturated with spray that it's becoming less interesting by the day. Soon there will only be about 4 guys left here, all non-stop circle-spraying each other in every post. So what's your point drippy? Take your vitamins bitch!

Y'all... Only reason I bother with this site is to download some cool smilies or icons or some shit like that. You guys are all crack heads and hoe-mongers. So put some more good shit on here to download, you KY bitches.

Dru, you and Caveman are sicko mfs. I pity da foos. Crack hoes no doubt.
