The first thing Bush said was that we had to obey gun laws. Well, there are laws against murder, too, and that didn't seem to stop him. But I digress. Some gun nuts, even a senator I heard on NPR, claimed that the gun laws on campuses are too restrictive, and that if more of the students had been armed, they may have been able to plant one between this guys eyes and stop him before he killed 32 people. I suggest that we take it a step further, and not only do we make it legal for us to carry weapons wherever we want, but require all Americans to defend each other, and require all citizens to be armed at all times. We could all be standing in line at the bank, just watching and waiting for someone to show his face to the teller, pushing that note forward, and when they look around and the teller gives the nod, everyone in the place would just open fire on the scumbag. There'd be nothing left of him. Problem solved. How much crime would there be left after a year or two? Not much, after all of our criminals had been turned to swiss cheese by armed, obedient citizens. Even if not all of them were armed, we could have just a few of them carry guns, just some that are trained, just a few from the fringes of society, former playground bullies, jerks, wife-beaters, maladjusted types that would want to carry firearms and deal with situations involving criminals in our society. Oh, wait - we have those already. We call them police.

Stay away from Seattle.

Which helmet do you use when ascending the Haystack?

And a cell phone. That will make you safe.

No doggy style jokes yet? 8D

No - you need to wear your capeline underwear under your running shorts.

Wait a minute - doesn't someone have a Mount Si hiking class? Or isn't there a book about planning a hike of Mount Si?

Mount Si is the only hike in Washington. You need to practice by walking around Greenlake with your gear after you buy it at REI. You need to go to REI and ask them advice for gear. Trust them - they know everything. Tell them you want to hike Mount Si, and ask them what gear you need to accomplish that. They will help you with your selection.

Up yours!

That stuff reads like something by an angry junior high schooler - pretty scary stuff. Maybe he was just acting out - performance art!

How about his art? http://newsbloggers.aol.com/2007/04/17/cho-seung-huis-plays/ Wow. Just - wow.

For Bush?

What an F-ing weed.

Dude, that's like violatin' my civil rights and stuff.

Nestles-Quick?

This hits close to home because I work just a few blocks away from where this happened. Make the helicopters go away!

Not that they work, but they didn't serve it to him in the first place - they couldn't find him.

Funny, I dint see him...

I was here the whole time.

BodyGlide. Great for distance running, too.

Two words: Liquor license.

Here's another "aye" for leaving the stove at home unless it's multi-day and you need to melt snow for water. Montbell makes some good lightweight polarguard jackets and lightweight raingear (my current favorite). Serratus made a good 15-oz. pack, but I think they quit making them. Take iodine instead of the filter, use Gatorade bottles for water - 3 of those weigh one pound less than 3 Nalgene bottles.

Rent goddam snowboards. If they can't learn snowboarding in a day, bitch-slap them and send them back to the east coast.
