You know what band I really like right now? Gang of Four. That stuff sounds as good as the day they recorded it in the early 80s. I'm not talking "I love a man in uniform" so much as I am talking "Anthrax." I do like the Thievery Corporation and would be forever in the debt of whoever would like to burn their discs for me!

Hmm, I can't quite remember, maybe you should check!

Matt or someone, can you please explain cross-loading? I am learning some things about snow safety and I don't know what that term means. I would think that that slope would be very prone to avalanches from what little I know now. If Charlie goes up there, would it be advisable to dig some pits? Perhaps how often?

Hey! Don't stick your dick in my friend Pat's mail slot! His dog might bite!

Alpinist gives me I love you you love me hives.

Chatter in the house if anyone is inclined.

Zeek's is on 59th and Phinney, iffin' I am not mistaken. From I5 take the 50th exit, heading W until 50th hits Phinney. Go north along the Woodland Park Zoo and Zeek's will be on your right. They have a little bit of parking north of their building.

Crusher, but named after the hat cupcake

Hey, chatroom is open if you are so inclined. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/jchat.php

I can tell just from the headlines that Buzzflash is not what I am looking for either. I understand that all reporting enjoys some sort of bias. At this moment the major US media has slanted itself, by and large, so far in favor of the war, that there seems to be nothing left of the actual news. Not being blindly in support of the invasion does not an infidel make. So, seriously, anyone found a decent news source? I read a couple of copies of the China Post yesterday, and while it is not exactly front page news there, at least the invasion was reported on for what it was and not a war with Iraq. There was a lot being reported in that paper that is not in the US papers. I do not have cable and am limited to the Internet.

I almost included this line in my above post: NOT Fox, Trask!

Hi, Am getting way tired of censored American news in the invasion. Would like to find source with more information and less pro-American Invasion bias. Anyone find anything on the Web, a foreign paper maybe, with these qualities?

D, I am not getting only posts I started.

I remember one guy being too stoned to lead the first pitch of that disputed numbers three pitch thing, and one girl being too sick and feeble to do anything any good. She got a real bad cold from the stoned guy. I also remember some Canadians waving from on top of some rock thing traverse they were hiking on. Then I made steaks and we all drank beer with Anna. One of the Canadians started telling a story which made the other Canadian and the other guy they brought run for cover. By the time the one Canadian was done we wished we had done the same. That one Canadian really long story guy eats peaches right out of the can. Radical. That was all last year though.

JG, nice job matey!

Um, actually I think the idea here is not fighting fire with fire. Rather not having the fight reduced to slander and whatnot in the first place.

How are you guys getting this? I am only getting 50 posts total on my search...

jb, I admire your temerity. It would be great if there were more battles of wit around here and less hate, gay-bashing, women-bashing, attacks on character, race, religion, patriotism and a whole lot of other things. As you probably know, the world can be a pretty funny place even without these convenient comedic devices. It does, however, take more thought that simply typing some reference to stuffing a marmot up someone's ass. Having said that, you are fighting a losing battle here. Many have tried, none have succeeded. You will probably have more luck focusing on what is over the line and what is not. The line creeps this way and that way, and there are a lot of places that the disputed territory is still up for grabs. Gang bangs on women, for example, are currently acceptable, but will hopefully go permanently onto the unacceptable side soon. And to those who say "if you don't want to get attacked, stay out of spray", well, there is a lot being discussed in Spray these days besides, say, whether or not DFA will be Trask's "boy" in prison. If people want to willfully engage in these sorts of exchanges, then fine, but don't assume that just 'cuz people post in spray, that they are okay with you peeing in their bottom or whatever.

So tell me, how did we get from "hey that Malbec is pretty good", to "red wine addiction"? That makes about as much sense as the Saddam/Osama connection. And feel free to make light all you want. I've had my share of Chinese colds in the last year, and they are a lot harder to kick than the regular American kind. At this point I'm not convinced that by tomorrow there aren't going to be mandatory quarantines by the looks of the CDC information.

I've been monitoring the CDC website, and this is not a matter I'm inclined to take so lightly anymore.

Not just the pub clubbers actually.

Yep, they won't let my BF go back to work when he returns from China tomorrow.

Well that's pretty funny Muffy because if you are an American and you show up at a Canadian hospital they gouge you pretty damn hard for crappy health care.
