All true. What I don't get is what this thread has ever had to do with the Washington Bullets...

don't you mean the stranger dude? I think Michael Jackson is the strangest dude ever. If he is actually a dude.

what will happen in a few years when the devolution is complete and tele gear completely morphs into alpine gear?? Can these two worlds really become one? Will Phish release a Limp Bizkit tribute? Will hemp clothing be available in day-glo colors?

this is a flagrant counter-troll designed to pull all the cc.com'ers off the summitpost site. Don't fall for it!!

trust your instincts, doc... it's actually boring AND slow. I'm still laughing about the image of scot'sport manning the hamsterwheel/sunflower seed operation.

LMAO "typical cc.com behavior"

hey! I actually almost agree with GregW - there are some great south american wines out there for a lot less than their california counterparts... although really good california cabs are probably among the best reds in the world, I'm not in the habit of dropping $60 on a bottle of wine. I just bought a bottle of Trimbache malbec - I think it's from Argentina, which is a great bottle of wine for around 8 bucks. You'll find it at Freddy's.

while I agree with DFA's uncharacteristically non-elitist "if it tastes good, drink it" response, I still have to ask... you're joking, right? that's kind of like saying "hey, there's really not much to climb in the north cascades, is there...?"

why do I get the feeling that it was no accident erik started this thread at exactly 4:20...?

nice work. I'll bet it was a great day up there. I was trapped in town with a hangover and a bunch of shit to do. I'm thinking about taking a day off this week to try out the new boards, tho. Where did you start skiing from?

duh. picked up my new tua cross-rides w/G3 bindings today, and I'm pretty stoked. Now if we could just get some fucking snow...

correct again... but add the pucker factor involved with having not enough matching quickdraws to clip all 12 bolts, and having to use different colored draws to clip the last two.

you are correct... Daisy and Buttercup are the lifts serving the flattest terrain at the west coast's lamest ski area. have to say, though, I've witnessed a couple of near epics on "Bunny Face" at Smith... to the extent one can have an epic on a one-pitch 5.7 sport route.

thanks for the heads up... I'll head home early and sharpen my edges. sounds like freezing levels are supposed to drop to 2000 feet tomorrow and wednesday... come ON dammit, snow!!

what about a new set of cougar bells... or maybe a new corporate sponsor... scott'walmart?

her mind is like a steel trap, so her similies may be hard to pin down...

oh, I'm sure he'll "cough up"....

yes, yes, and yes. this is now a PM situation.

oh. I assumed they would keep the office (and employees) here, but just as a satellite COBS office. It always seemed inane that none of the individual schools shared a central computer system with access to student info, etc... and that more centralization would be a good thing. I have myriad OB connections myself (tho mostly former employees), and am beginning to wonder if I am somehow acquainted with the enigmatic DFA.... very interesting.

I think I heard that they were merging with Colorado? If so, probably a good move. Hmmm... the doc appears to protest too much about non-OB affiliation. I suspect he may be one of their "medical screeners."

Is that the 'black tie and tennies' thing? That's usually an entertaining event... nothing like drunken socialites flying overhead on a zipline above a cocktail party. Are they not doing it at Montgomery Park any more?

You forgot chicanery... Relax, doc... I believe it is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Hardly a surprise. FYI, with the daily average number of snowmobiles entering Yellowstone at 840, the limit of 1,100 would affect only the volume of peak holiday usage. It's an even better example of the Bush administration's strategy of encouraging regulated industries to file lawsuits against federal environment/energy/resource agencies challenging pre-Bush regulations, and then entering into cozy settlement agreements that remove or completely gut the restrictions. The 1,100 "limit" is broken down by park entrance - 550 at west entrance, 250 at south, 100 at east, 50 at north, and 150 in Grand Teton and parkway. You gotta love a national park where the rangers have to wear respirators and earplugs because of dangerous levels of air pollution and engine noise.

damn, I bail on this site for a few months and miss some serious central eastside debauchery. I'll bet the waiter was DFA.

quote: Originally posted by Greg W: I don't know what constitution you're reading, but mine (approved in 1787) never mentions a "level playing field." That's a catchy statement, but the truth is that nobody ever gets very far with the "my copy of the constitution doesn't say that" argument... for example, my copy of the constitution (also from 1787) doesn't expressly say anything about a fundamental right to carry armor-piercing bullets. Looking to the left, it also does not expressly say anything about a right to choose to have an abortion. The fact that those exact words are not actually contained in the constitution is, not surprisingly, not really relevant to what a 200+ year-old document means today. Jefferson and his bros probably never dreamed that there would be airplanes, abortions, or automatic weapons when the constitution was written. So if you are saying that any laws written today addressing topics that did not exist in colonial America are unconstitutional... well, you've got a lot of laws to overturn. quote: Originally posted by Greg W: You cannot argue that all men are intellectually or physically equal. What each man does with what he has been given at creation is an entirely different matter. I think mattp's statement was only aimed at your glib comment that the constitution doesn't actually say the words "level playing field." Nobody said it did, and that really doesn't matter. The point is that intellectual or physical equality "at creation" doesn't necessarily get you very far, because the circumstances surrounding one's creation have a LOT more to do with the end results than you appear to be willing to recognize. Tonight's events in Portland make that pretty clear... do you really think that GWB would be anything but a washed-up frat guy with a bunch of failed businesses in his wake if it weren't for his pedigree and family money? Come on, the guy can barely string a coherent sentence together and he's the president of the freaking USA. I mean, he'd be fun to hang out with at muir on saturday... but that doesn't mean he should be president. Lou Reed should be president:
