jaee

My sister left her vest and headband on a rock while taking a break coming off Adams Saturday. If anyone is up there and finds it I'll gladly pick it up and provide a 6-pack of your favorite beers. I believe it was near the lunch counter. The headband has some sentimental value, the vest an old favorite. Thanks

right next to Wayne's Wall.

There ya go. 2 in the back of Imus' head. CBS spreading the love.

Dood (Mr_Phil). That's the coolest thing you've ever posted. The point here is that there's no credibility. No sincerity. Some see Imus' crack as an opportunity to get more press, more exposure for their issues. Some see it as a chance to pull down someone whose caustic ramblings have irritated them in the past. Some see it as a chance to defend someone as insensitive or uncaring as themselves. FWIW, nappy *IS* racially pejorative. I'm from there, small town Virginia country boy. My school was at least 50% black. I've been in the hood in Richmond, drank beer with the homies in the projects. Dictionary definitions are just an attempt to lawyer your way around the truth. I can give you a definition for cracker, but if a homie calls you cracker you can bet you aren't flatbread. The comment was over the top. It's really up to people to vote with their wallets, in this case the ratings. If he sucks, don't watch (listen) to the train wreck. I listened to Stern when he was on FM. Sometimes he was funny. Sometimes he was abusive and I'd turn that crap off for a while and find something else to do. On the subject of fatties it's still really just a question of sincerity and sensitivity. If someone is insulted by a racial or gender slur, it's a problem for them. Insulting someone's size or features is no different. You can take the 3rd grade attitude that they either need to grow a thick skin or leave, or you can recognize the damage you're causing and admit responsibility. Until we can cultivate a culture of sincere tolerance, we'll have these problems. You can have your beliefs. You can tell me about them. I can disagree and you are cool with it. As long as I don't actually interfere with your life things should be OK. We're far from it now, as we've been assaulted for 30+ years with Madison Avenue showing us how we can have it all for ourselves and now we believe it. The culture of entitlement is pervasive. You are entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to share it. But damaging others to further yourself is not the way to improve our future.

I've seen a few TRs of folks who've biked from Seaside or PDX and climbed Hood. So some inhuman cardio machines have done just that. And the converse is true on St. Helens, where it's perfectly legal to top out on a snowmojo with no climbing permit.

I love refactoring other people's shit and making it nice and tidy. I'm sure this is just a vent, but KK is right in that it's called work and you get paid to do it. If the only way you can do it right is a clean sheet of paper you'll not get a lot done unless you're already a genius and working as an architect. Review the spec. Review the code. Obviously your boss will have to provide time for this either now or when your cohort leaves. If it stinks provide some solutions for your boss that will make it work, even if it takes more time/resources, or justification to ax it. Do it right or get it removed from the schedule.

Pet bat.

you mean

Support our troops. Bring them home.

Bad juju. Might want to rethink that approach. I think you need a feng shui consultation.

Colorado, is, after all, world reknown for its glaciers. 5 years ago I climbed in slots 50' deep on Mt. Hood that are barely a ripple today. We've had good snow years and bad snow years since then. But that doesn't account for 35' of ice. The corporations have you brainwashed to question anything that might impede their progress. They just dig the carte blanche of "self-policing" pollution and contamination. Seecocks would have you think Gore is taking your money to tilt at windmills. Too late, because Bush has already spent it on putting more troops in harms way and lining Haliburton's offshore kingdom with more American gold. The question should be what are we doing that could have a negative impact on our children, our planet, our food? How can we change that? Paper or plastic? No thanks, I brought my own.

Here's the official Seecocks STFU mascot, SAM (Seecocks am a moron) Sam will appear wherever blowhard rightwingers post "fair & balanced" news.

Allrighty then. Who's brung it? Only self-inflicted postings in this thread counted: Motomagik had the stones to get this party started. Archenemy brought it right back, reprezentin' wit a quickness Minx (almost, kinda) lived up to her tag with a few teasers Sherri brought it right back with da' cut guns and some badass chainsaw gnar Fern? I need a confirmation on this one, cause I dunno.... Update... We have a dubious confirmation from a shady goat. Fern and her 16 inch pythons are in the game.. Snugtop spiced it up with a little ropework rmncwrtr outed herself as a true sci-fi nerd Mythosgrl (yow!) took us to a new level with the 8x10 color glossy photographs Muffyn gets in the game with a nice set Got to hand it to you all, that is awesome. Good climbing shots and enough hawtness to truly impress. Much thanks from the peanut gallery.

How about that recent spinach debacle. Haven't heard much, but saw the cdc report http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01593.html where they state there really wasn't any way to tell how the problem occurred. Bottom line: Industrial food is not trustworthy. Corporations may dump money at a problem or sacrifice a peon to passify the masses, but in general, it's a crapshoot. The end result here will be corporate fingerpointing, some (minimal) cash settlements & some lawsuits. Blame will be fixed on a supplier, someone will be fired, maybe a few more lawsuits among the supply chain to establish blame. The problem with pesticides is you have to be looking for them to find them. There's no generic pesticide test, although there are tests that can look for multiple pesticides at once. Don't get me wrong. This is a terrible thing for people to deal with. I'm not callous with regards to animal companions or their care-givers. I'm just saying if you buy what they're selling then you're going to get whatever they give you. Good luck with that checks and balances thing. I'll sign the petition.

The Machine did it. Some corporate idiot screwed up and the wrong tank of grain was processed in China and put on a boat for use in Scrappy's kibble. Grain is processed with varying degrees of pesticides, fungicides, & herbicides. It's pretty conceivable this was either contaminated accidently in storage (rats/granaries) or intentionally treated because of a different intended purpose. Seed wheat planted when I was growing up was treated with a mercury fungicide. Do you think that product builds up in the soil or just goes away? Where does it go if it goes away? Don't presume it was one pet hater who did this thing.

Right. Getting picked up by the cops and thrown in jail is no big deal. Just chill until you land in front of that liberal judge and get sprung. Because a conviction is the only thing that will hurt. Pepper spray, batons, and handcuffs don't matter if you have a clean record. Your cellmate Luther will respect you because you "really didn't do it". Good to know the less fortunate are guaranteed a fair shake from those liberals, which you seem to use as both a safety valve and whipping boy.

"As night does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances there is a twilight when everything remains unchanged. And it is in that twilight that we must be most aware of the change in the air, however slight; lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness" -William O. Douglas
