Nope. I have the Arcteryx Vapor, which I'm totally happy with.

All this talk about "pussy" and wimp and such. Are you a tough guy?

Don't rush things; it's only the 22nd.

Because Hillary rules.

I'd have to agree with Hillary on this one. Again.

Are you guys for real?

What do you consider to be the "obvious" recommendation? Hey, injuries produce pain, and injuries take time to heal. A sad and frustrating prospect, to be sure, but the only one I'VE ever found that works. You can do other things to help the recovery process, but one thing you can't do is climb at high intensity (or any intensity if your injury is bad) for a while.

Actually, I hardly think it's beside the point. What needs to be kept in perspective is what type of attack are we realistically looking at? We wouldn't build an elaborate system to safeguard against Martians, would we? So why would we build an elaborate system against a type of attack that no one in their right mind thinks we'll encounter! Although I do think there are some cold-war relics floating around in our collective (un)consciousness....

Me too, except for Him.

First of all, you seem to link the importance of a given organization with its contribution to the fall of the CCCP. The fall was THAT important to you? Secondly, it seems as though our very own CIA disagrees with your assessment; internal mismanagement, NOT the arms race, led to their demise (a view held by many, but reported by few). I haven't studied this extensively, but I found it interesting to note a differing view, one proffered by an organization such as the CIA, in the midst of Reagan's propaganda.

Hey, come on, man. What's wrong with Lenin?

Page top. So what "special interests" is Bush guilty of serving? Gore? Ralph Nader?

What was wrong with Lenin?

What do you mean by "corrupt"?

Why does almost everything that comes out of your mouth resemble poo? And why are there no intelligent right-wing art critics? Hell, why are there no intelligent right-wing artists? Oh shit, my bad, I forgot about Charlton Heston!

House stuff on Saturday, framed in windows. Party Saturday night. Anyone catch the show at the Crocodile Saturday night? I missed it due to an obligatory party, which ended up being fun! More house stuff Sunday, followed by a walk at Kubota Gardens, then a nap, and another party. Now it's nap-time again, and up early in the morning. No climbing for a week, cuz of bad fingers.

Hey, if you're going for a route that could kill ya, and that's your primary fear, yet you want to do it anyway, then you gotta accept your own death: Imagine yourself dead, in a coffin, and marinate on that for a bit. Marinate on it 'til you got no more fear. If you can't get to a place of no fear, then keep on marinatin' 'til you do. Seriously. You have to be comfortable with the possibility of your own death to be able to enjoy the climbing at all- otherwise you're just Twighting out there, trying to slay your dragons of self-worthlessness. And if you can't accept the possibility of your own death, then running or golf are absolutely fine alternatives, ones that can be enjoyed by sane and happy people.

It's unfortunate that Bush's idea of what it means to "diversify our energy supply" is to increase domestic oil production, which means opening ANWR, and other wilderness areas. Oh, and the thread topic? Won't even bother responding, but good morning to you, too.

Too far away.

Self-photo! Self-photo!

Hey thanks for playing with me. I'm a bit bored, but now I've got to go CLIMB! The answer was "lake"! As in "Lake Washington". Sorry, no prizes today. Nice guess with "lemur", TLG!

Screen snapshot or you got a camera? Your forum width is wayyyyyy wide.

No, no, no, and no. I agree, that would be fun. A guy on another climbing site had a web cam set up in his bedroom. It was pretty hilarious to visit him at any and all hours. I don't have one.

Nope! Not litoris either. Good guess!

Nope! Not licorice!
