I know what you mean. I always tell my woman to stay off the goddamn 25 degree wet grass slopes. Does she listen? What is it about women and 25 degree wet grass slopes, anyways? And then there's packed snow and 11 degree slopes. Sheesh, women. Silica and 16 degree slopes? Forgeddaboutit. I just can't even talk about this anymore, so I better just go now. Good luck with your women and 25 degree wet grass slope problem, man. I'm with you on this one.

Frick, dog, don't be airing that shit on the friggin internet, fool. Keep it between the affected parties. (This is coming at pullingfool.)

How is the climbing out there? Does it dry out quick? Ok by this time of the year if it's sunny? Slightly steep, like si? Are all the harder projects red-tagged, or open by now? And how is Andrew doing? Has he paved in a new parking lot, and built the tram yet? Is it easy to find ? I thank you all in advance for your kindness in answering my questions.

So Turkey isn't even considering a re-vote on its parliamentary rejection of US' war plans. Perhaps they can't risk further embarrassment and turmoil, since 94% of Turkey's population opposes any US war effort. Plus, Iraq is complying fully with UN requests to destroy the AL-Samoud rockets. What will Bush, Inc. do? It certainly seems right now that its house of cards charade is crumbling fast, but the company hasn't been run with too much responsiveness to outside opinion (I think its CEO, George Bush, believes this course to be prudent, since he never had a mandate anyways, losing the general election). My heart continues to hope against hope.

"whistle pig"?

Hey shit, just tell 'em. And if they don't clean up, tell 'em there's an extra charge. Don't be afraid to be up front. Shit, steppin' in dog crap is one of the worst memories of child-hood. All the stink, all the cleaning.

Ummm, that WAS supposed to be a slam, but you aren't married to a woman named Kris, are you? yeah yeah yeah:

Hey fuck you rumr, I'm sick of your shit anyways. Go clip some steel, pansy-ass sport-nugget.

If he'd name the names, we could judge for ourselves. But in the same breath, I must say I personally don't give a damn; just trying to keep all bravado properly substantiated!

catbirdseat did it.

I'm not much into boasting, my son, but let's just say there's a good chance I've free-soloed pitches that your average sport rat couldn't on-sight with a top rope. There are some incredibly competent climbers who feel like bolts are a trashy intrusion on the mountain environment, as well as evidence of a cowardly approach to mountaineering. Maybe Pete Croft could be your role model. Hey, nice side-step. As embarrassing as it might be, I for one am rather curious as to what exactly are these routes you have soloed-you know, the ones most sportos couldn't flash with a top-rope? Names, please. Another curiosity arises: The question about difficulty was addressed to dwayner....

Shit. Awful touchy there, fool. Maybe some single malt to get you through.

Oh and one more thing for gregw: I believe Ali has Parkinson's, which only affects motor skills. Thanks again.

Hmmm. Maybe I was wrong. There seems to be new excitement in the air. LeBron James in the draft, Duncan through free-agency? Man can Ray Allen play basketball. There hasn't been a true superstar in Seattle Since Kemp in '96. Yea yea Payton blah blah blah, but his attitude absolutely sucked. He was way too hard on himself and everyone around him. That ain't no way to play b-ball! That ain't no way to have fun and win games! Ray Allen brings fresh air and the greatest individual talent here since...Jack Sikma. Go Sonics!

Dear Greg: Ali is a wonderful human being, something some of us aspire for. You, on the other hand, seem to be nothing more than a demagogic bore, bent on shooting rather poorly from the hip, regardless of consequence. I would advise learning just a little of Ali's commitment to his principles (and a little about capitalism while you're at it!), among his many other admirable qualities; perhaps then you'd be a little slower in taking pot-shots at someone you don't even know.

Laphroiag for only $20 bucks more. Enough said.

Oh god no it doesn't! They pay their announcers now, they're not even on campus (college radio?!?!?), and their format is such sterile homogenized theme music that I can barely get my dial close before I nauseate, which kinda SUCKS cuz KBCS is lurking down there. Bring back KCMU, BEFORE the lobotomy!

Trask. I am shocked and amazed. I am truly speechless! You have exhibited such perspicuous level-headed analysis, devoid of bluster and threats! Arm in arm we will march, at the next anti-war rally?

The sonics are fucked, with or without Payton. After Whitsitt and Karl left, no one was brought in who could even begin to create a winning mentality around here. Shit, they've been playing for the eighth seed for years now, and ain't nothing gonna change that with Wally fucking Walker around. Plus, management treats the game more like a business, a badly run one at that. There's not an iota of meaning with this basketball team, and that means that the players simply ain't gonna care, and McMillan can't change that. Until the players feel like they're playing for something more than just making the playoffs (the recent mindset), basket here is gonna suck.

I think footwork and route reading will come naturally as you log in the miles, but both are way easier if you got the guns! I think some excellent work would be to pick out some Vsomething boulder problems that are a couple of grades easier than you can max out at, without having any stopper moves, maybe ten moves long. Do the route, drop and rest for 1 minute, do again, rest 1 min, etc, repeat 4 times, and if you are getting REALLY close to failure on the 4th rep, you picked the proper difficulty. Make sure you time your rest period though, and stick to it. No cheating on the last couple of sets, cuz it really starts to suck and hurt! After your 4th rep, rest until completely recovered, maybe 15 minutes or more, and repeat the cycle again. Try to do 3 sets on the same route, which would equal 120 moves. You might not get there with the first couple of workouts. If you do this workout 2 or 3 times a week, with proper recovery between workouts, I promise your onsite level will go up by 1 or 2 letter grades in 6 weeks (depending what level you're climbing at now). Make sure you pick something steep enough to work out your core strength-between 30 and 50 degrees, and technical enough (no big feet) to force you to use proper form. There are so many other things one can do. But the above really works, and it works fast! It builds you right where most hard sport-climbing gets you: power-endurance. Personally I've never found long easy laps lasting 10 or 20 minutes to be of any value....Maybe when you're recovering from injury, but not for building strength or endurance (unless the intensity builds way high).

I mean yes!

So what's your thinking, muffy?

Delicious, isn't it!

Had to. Promises were made for allied support. Couldn't occupy. Come on. So Saddam attacked a country 13 years ago. Yeah, I'm sure he's gonna be repeating that again soon! We go in, we inspect heavy duty for a year, get 'em clean (don't you know the US inspector declared 'em 95% disarmed in the mid-'90's?), and let 'em get back to normal.

No no no no no. The site pictured above prompts drool from lovers of the steeps. 5 hours from here.
