Distractor...

Yeah, but I was there one time and the sales poser there had never heard of Kong, and didn't know what a keylock carabiner was (even though they sold petzl keylock biners there - had dozens of them hanging right behind him). Another had never heard of DMM. A little more amusing: (And I swear this is true)I asked for 68 inches of webbing. She didn't know how to figure out what that is in feet and inches. She had to get help.

Hire some people that know something about climbing. I've been there a few times and they either didn't have what I wanted, or knew nothing about the brand I was asking for - didn't even know they existed - and they were major brands. On the rare occasion that I am buying climbing gear there, I know what I want before I go and ask no questions about it, because I have no confidence in the knowledge of the staff. But I do buy things there - mostly when I can't find it at ProMountain. By the way, why didn't your friend post this himself?

It's the bolts.

If Steve REALLY wants to be bold, he'll come to Pub Club. HEH!

Have you checked out the Kong Heliums? Light as Neutrino's, but they have the key-lock. Kind of expensive, tho.

I'll be nice. I have nothing against Mountaineers. That said - Steve, I really think you should put this thread in powerpoint and present it at the Alpinist meeting. I'm sure everyone would get either a good laugh or some form of enlightenment from it.

You see who you're dealing with here, Steve? You sure you want to extend that invitation?

Here's the secret: 1. Eat less. 2. Excersize more. I just dropped 15 lbs since January. I may shave off a few more with this miracle plan. [ 03-29-2002: Message edited by: lizard brain ]

You only need to read the first paragraph of lyrics, the whole message is there...it works much better to just put a copy of Rastaman Vibration on the hi-fi, preferably on vinyl, and fire up a spliff...by the time the record gets to the track War, you'll hear and feel the message. Dude, what the fuck do you mean first PARAGRAPH? With this brain, my attention span isn't even THAT long! And with nothing but a reptilian brain stem to work with, firing up a spliff wouldn't have much effect. Trust me, I've tried it over and over again. All I get is hungry - or hungrier. But come to think of it, having a primitive brain does have it's advantages. Life is so much simpler. Shit, all I have to think about is eating, sleeping, and procreating. Simple as that. No higher conciousness, no self-awareness, no concience...

Is anyone actually reading this shit?

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurrs to me What a long, strange trip it's been.

What I want to know is why they need four moderators to watch a topic that has two registered users logged onto it. [ 03-28-2002: Message NOT edited by: erik ] [ 03-28-2002: Message edited by: lizard brain ]

I hate to admit it, but yes. I opted out for the pre-season psycho-babble instead.

But don't they consecrate the sub-concious elemental androitonism?

My god, man, I didn't think anyone posting here even knew what a kaiku was! I stand corrected.

How about a haiku?

And I won't go into what I eat at home, for the sake of staying more or less on topic (and noone gives a shit!)... [ 03-28-2002: Message edited by: lizard brain ]
