  1. WTF pink pointing?
  2. Washington drivers spend their whole life in the left lane driving slow until you go to pass 'em on the right, at which point they suddenly cut right and cut you off. That describes cc.com exactly.
  3. Sw Butt of the old Settler S Ridge of Gimli Brewers Buttress Angels Crest
  4. Shark Tooth Flake is an old route of Shaun's - #33 in the guidebook. Easy flake leads to Exasperator-like finger locks, good fun, 5.9+ or 10a.
  5. So what's the deal with the two climbs, two and three routes left of Great Expectations, that both have missing hangers? There is a 10+ slabby arete and a one-move wonder face climb (hard to grade, maybe 5.9) under a huge log that both have a couple of hangerless bolts? We climbed them both yesterday with small wires cinched over the hangers, but figured maybe they were supposed to still be projects and so didn't redpoint either one. Climbed those, Crystal Ether and Shark Tooth Flake - good times. Shaun is psyched to work on the offwidth roof, he gave it a couple of burns 10 years ago, and thinks it will go this time.
  6. Trick question, answerr is Bear holding a shark?
  7. I know how to thread the cord. It goes through the top of the slot, then through the hole, then out the bottom of the slot. The free end of the cord should be coming towards you once you are done. It works like a Reverso does if you set it up right - ie when its unweighted, you pull on the free end and it tightens up; when you weight it, it locks off. Use 6mm cord rather than the 7mm cord the manufacturer recommends. 7mm is hard to pull through and gets sheath damage. Tie a stopper knot like a figure 8 in the free end.
  8. Why won't a shark bite a lawyer? Professional courtesy.

    Prices at Costco (and Sam's Club) were lower than some major wholesalers. As a result, restaurants and caterers were bypassing the wholesalers and making large bulk buys from Costco and stores were running out. Hence the volume limit on sales.
  10. Well, for you, lie down and open your mouth cause I have a triple Canadiano coming through my kidneys.
  11. It's classic market economics. People will grow hops again when they can turn a profit doing it. Isn't American beer all piss-flavoured hop because you've been brainwashed into thinking more is better? Quantity is not quality.
  12. Boy, you're a smart one. What tipped you off?
  13. Oil crops and grain crops are two different things. Using food to make fuel raises the price of food, sure. Using the right data when you are arguing also makes for a stronger argument. Speaking of which, over the course of 2007, food prices in Canada increased 0.2%.
  14. how much biodiesel is made from rice? rice is not known as an oilseed....
  15. my brother got quoted!
  16. discuss More glaciers to climb? Sweet! From a peer-reviewed article (Pike et al. 2008) I was reading just today: "The recent rate of glacial loss in the Coast Mountains is approximately double that observed for the previous two decades". Hmm?
  17. If you are interested, a great statistic is the following: ( iread this on Wikipedia a month ago) Of 131 studies of the health effects of bispehenol A, 110 studies funded and conducted by government and academia found some level of or potential adverse effect 21 studies funded and conducted by the plastics industry found no adverse effects JayB and Kk, you guys want to argue that the industry knows what they're doing and the special interest groups in government and academia are pumping our dangerous, biased data?
  18. Don't forget making pig shit into methane like in Mad Max

    Bulimia?

    Why not just stop eating junk food.
  20. It WAS the full moon two nights ago. I'm almost sure that indicates a case of lycanthropy. But the animal form cannot be large or the clothes would be torn up in the transformation into a beast.
