RURP

This is RURP. Schlangenspieler: Once again you show your ignorance of the German language. Many people in German-speaking countries learn to speak English quite young and quite well; much better than your weak attempts to ridicule foreigners. I think maybe you get your German from the Hogan Heroes. You have nothing to say so you make fun of parents and create little sausage jokes. You are incorrect: I am Rurp because I love Big Walls. Charlie: where is your Big Wall sense of humor? I am trying to help you deal with the senseless loss of bolt hangers. What do you do when you are climbing a Wall, a really Big one, and you come to the place where the Rauber has taken the hanger? You should laugh laut enough for your partner to hear and then apply a wired stopper over the bolt or maybe a favorite hook. Then you think, "thank you dubious rock thief for adding to my exciting Big Wall challenge" and then you go on. Just like that. And Schlangemann: So you think I am limited to four Big Walls? This is true, and then I eat lunch. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. There you go, Schlangenschlurper, with your phony German talking again. I have think I have something for this so-called auction. How about approximately 15 bolt hangers with a slight desert patina found in a gas station restroom wastebasket in Eastern Washington. Perhaps they would make a nice addition to someone's Museum of Dubious Big Wall Activities collection. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP: That Lambone says: "rurp...What would you say to me If I was screaming at you at 5:00 in the morning?" RURP would say, "Thank you very much Mister Noisy Guy. It's another Big Wall day and my alarm clock must have not gone off an hour ago. Otherwise I would be two pitches above you right now. And by the way, I would share my tasty Big Wall breakfast with you but you might be allergic to kim chee and spaetlze." That is what I would say. RURP has spoken.

This is RURP. Funny thing: they made the Rock Cop topic disappear after a few hours and a handful of messages and this Camp Muir marijuana thing goes on for 18 pages! Who is making the Big Wall decisions around here? RURP HAS SPOKEN

I am RURP, former lurker who has briefly returned to base camp after a lifetime of Big Wall dedication. You, Lamebone, what is with this?: "at the time I WAS YOUNG and unaware of European tactics. That kind of behavior may be the norm in Europe, but this is our home turf, and they should play by our rules..This experience left a very bad taste in my mouth towards foriegn climbers." How old are you, Lambone? Twenty, Twenty-one, perhaps? You are still in Big Wall diapers. And I do not want to know what you put in your mouth, mister, but how about a few pleasant words to foreign guests? You said it was not an issue but you made sure we knew that it was Koreans and Austrians who irritated you. And I would guess you wouldn't know the Austrian national anthem if you heard it. Did it sound like this: “Ja, vi elsker dette landet, som det stiger frem,”? It did? Then they were from the Norway! If they were from Austria it goes like this, junior: “Land der Berge, Land am Strome, Land der Äcker, Land der Dome, Land der Hämmer, zukunftsreich! Heimat bist du großer Söhne, Volk, begnadet für das Schöne, Vielgerühmtes Österreich.” Did you like the song? Did you tap your foot to the rhythm against the haul-bag which you overpacked so it slowed you down? And you think they (foreigners) should "play by our rules"? By reading the posts on this web-site, there doesn't seem to be too many rules in American climbing that anyone agrees upon. Americans in general tend not to be great examples when they are abroad and go about as if they are still at home and know what's best, so now it's a taste of your own medicine. And by the way, be unjustifiably rude to a foreigner here and abroad and maybe you've just created the next anti-American hoodlum. And you, Schlangeschlurper or whatever...what is with the phony German thing? Are you trying to convince everyone that you took a couple of quarters of German in High School so that we'll think you're somewhat educated despite your rude comments? Is this like Lamebone's repeated attempts to remind of that he has been big-walling in the Himalaya? Back to sorting gear: RURP has a couple of walls to finish today before the sun sets.
