sexual_chocolate

Moondancing was around WAY before My Little Pony came around. If none of you guys and gals have heard of it, I don't see the point in continuing to discuss this. It's a dance. I already described it in a previous post. Go back and look. Hello? A dance? Hasn't anyone around here danced before? Yes, children, dancing can be fun! (Morons.)

You guys obviously know NOTHING about Moondancing.

Yeah it's easy for you guys to be all "chill" and "touchy" and shit, but you guys didn't just go through the blender, defending your art. I did. I do what I do, and I love what I do, but it's the ignorance and scorn that you guys express that makes it hard. But I've had to deal with that my entire career, so you guys are actually quite easy. Anyway, I would just suggest a little sensitivity when you encounter something you don't understand. Often, the things we don't understand end up being the most wonderful discoveries and gifts in our lives.

go to hell, lizard brain. Just drop it. forget I ever brought it up. What do YOU do for a living?

It was damn funny! My Little Pony is my way favorite!

That was a nice site Alpine Tom, indeed it was, but it was NOT about moondancing. Moondancing is about DANCING, as the name implies. It is a style of dancing, non-pornographic, very stylized and orchestrated, relying on terrific foot-speed and coordination, along with certain sleight-of-foot tricks that can take years to master. It has actually helped tremendously in my climbing. In fact, I think it's the main reason I have climbed 5.13, although only on rap-bolted sport routes. So please don't criticize what you don't understand.

I'm sorry guys, I don't mean to tease. It's just that it's my art. It's my passion. And I've seen how things get ridiculed on this forum. You guys are vicious sometimes.... So for me to talk about Moondancing in a serious way.... I can't do it. Maybe I can share at a later time, but right now, I definitely feel too vulnerable.

Mmmmmmm..... The Moondance. Known of by a few, understood by even fewer.... I don't know if you could understand.... So, my hirsute heel, you know of the "chocolate"? And you still say nay? MMmmmmm..... sexual chocolate!!!!

Get some glasses. Neanderthal-style, yo.

Captain Caveman, you really are an ignoranus, aren't you? Neanderthals don't Moondance?

DRU, you have displayed your ignorance and churlish humor once again. Please refrain from posting, if this is all you can offer. Learn a skill, learn to dance. Learn to Moondance.

I don't do porn, you ignorant neanderthal, I dance. And the dance that I do is called the Moondance. I am a Moondancer. It's what I do.

Yes, DRU, I am a moondancer. A straight-up motherfucking sombitch of a moondancer, if I may add. I do it for a living. I am damn good. I get paid to do what I love. How many of you can say that?

What's up with the strange metaphors of a strained and ill sexuality with pope's posts? He speaks of "rape" and "abortion", throwing them out there as if no woman had ever experienced the horrors associated with both. What has hurt you so deeply? Is the bolting issue for you an extension of the environmental degradation that we, as a people, have caused? Or is it an issue that stands outside of context entirely, something completely personal and subjective, simply existing as something "ugly" that removes challenge, because you say so? Sometimes I get the feeling that you want to hold the world hostage to your views, for I see very little in the way of an attempt to even TRY to understand or compromise. It's always a resort to some rigid ideal of how it's all "supposed" to be. The degree of passion that you feel is admirable, I suppose, but I wonder if this passion could be channeled in a direction that actually spoke of change; an attempt to actually change the environment we live in? Because, as I see it now, your voice is only concerned with lament and complaint; nothing positive seems to be brewing.

Come on, guys! How 'bout a little "sexual chocolate"? MMMmmmmmmmmmmm! There's nothin' like it!

Ummm.... Do we really have an issue here? Hello.... The Traddy Wishes Thanatos would kill Dionysus, once and for all. Only owns a black and white TV, 'cause all the colors just make everything too confusing.... Pretends to like climbing, but just needs an excuse to try to prove himself to his father. Wants his son to be just like him; mom can take care of the daughter. Would never use a Gri-Gri; technology is frightening. Plus, Yvon Chouinard didn't use one. Thinks the stick up his butt is constipation, but Metamucil doesn't help. Secretly wants to join a militia, but what would Royal Robbins think? Really likes the Taliban's views on right and wrong, but the turban would interfere on 5.6 slab-climbs. And last, but not least... Really believes that "life was better in the good ol' days", when men were men, and ... well... men were men. What do you mean you don't understand?

So do people agree with my initial grade assessments? I really think Rainy Day Women is 11d/12a, NOT 11c. What did it say in the old guide? And Hung Out to Dry? Any input on this would be most appreciated. And jblakeley, I LOVE my name! If you wanna get to know the real me, maybe we can meat? And is Captain Neanderthal-man still feeling motherly?

Yes! I've got big toe pain! No one else I know of has it, until now. It even hurts to walk sometimes, but I've begun to massage the sore spots, and it's getting better. I've always worn way tight shoes. Coming back to haunt me....

What are some controversial ratings in the book? I don't have it or want it, but I'll put my two cents in.... Well? Lemme go at 'em.

Jes' kiddin' 'bout "Cali..."; original ratings are right on. 12d and 13a. Jes' flippin' some flak to sum won.

Register your complaints at the ranger station! Serious. He's OUR employee, if'n ya know what I mean. Public servant. Just make your complaints respectful and intelligent, so they have the most impact. And don't forget to call and write and email the politicians about the wilderness fee extensions. No renewal. No pay to play. No fees for using our own land! Public lands=no user fees!

But he didn't do them from the ground up. I heard he rap-cleaned and rehearsed them first.

Also, Californicator should only be 12c, while the extension, Californication, should be 12d.

Rainy Day Women at Little Si. He claims 11c. The original rating of 11d/12a seems more accurate. Hung Out to Dry, Little Si. 12b is better than 12a, thinks I. Can't think of any other disagreements. I don't own the book.

Hi Charlie. Thanks. And sorry for going so off on ya. Got tweaked. I am a sensitive piece of chocolate sometimes. French chocolate. And then when sexuality gets thrown into the mix... volatility. And your last point: that was the reason for my grade input. To solidify a consensus. So that people have an idea of what they are climbing. Hence, my input on Rainy Day Women et al. I don't really like the down-rating that happens sometimes, down-rating that's based on people getting things wired and then down-rating the route. Rainy... is NOT 11c. It simply isn't. It is harder. And I feel Hung Out to Dry's difficulty is more accurately, again, denoted by its original rating. Two routes, ORIGINALLY rated harder than what Smoot says. No spray here, just an attempt to create an intelligent consensus based on as much objectivity as possible, NOT peoples strange motives to down-grade certain Little Si routes. These are the first routes that many people will climb at these grades; let's not sand-bag them. I've climbed a lot of routes at a lot of different locales; this is why I feel as I do on this one. If I misunderstood the reason for your post, then a coherent explanation as to WHY would have sufficed. But anyways, I hope there are no hard feelings. I know a lot was said; hopefully it can be forgotten.
