Check out my new autosig, and it's not just because I bring the steaks and am a subpar climber, it's a two way street. for those about to be subpar:

I think the amount of fruit stands may be in a relationship with the amount of orchards. Just a guess.

Nah, you missed it, but let's try again now.

I heard one of the camera crew got attacked by the North'Teryx Rep near the summit. Is he OK? Why'd the rep go ballistic anyway?

OK, rainbound boyz and girls, it's chat time again.....

UT, I must encourage you once again to get paid as a writer. Very well-written and incisive. I get paid to do it from time to time, and you're a damn sight better than I am!

Mangoes are a lot like sex. Think of the pit like the wet spot. Bacon, well, merely a way of life.

No, Fear was 'let's have a war, so you can go die.' And while I sort of appreciate Red Monk's sentiments here, he is young, and has a lot to learn. A better song from the same era: Dead Kennedys, "Kill the Poor"

Yah, what Erik said, and hey, what's up with the Mona Lisa? She's mine baby, all mine!

But you can recycle any of these canisters in curbside recycling, if you bleed them. We've been over that here before!

'eliminational epigram', heh, I like that. You funny. I heard the phrase from my mom, when I was about eight. Trask why on earth would you say something like that? Is that an attempt at humor? You yourself have called me uptight, now which is it?

I did an article last year about repairing gear in the field. They gave me all of these fancy repair kits to mess around with, and I tried other stuff too, various adhesives, string, junk like that. I wrote the article, and talked about Fastex buckles and whatnot, but the truth is, that for field repair duct tape really can't be beat. In addition, my repair kit has a couple of Zip Ties, sandpaper, HotBond, a diaper pin, some Seine Twine, Glide Dental Floss (made by WL Gore BTW), needle, alcohol wipes, piece of really thin wire, tent pole repair sleeve, aluminum foil tape. About 4oz not counting the duct tape, which gets wrapped around a Gatorade bottle. On a recent trip I had the lightest pack, and this repair kit got used by everyone in my party, so I guess it's got the right stuff in it.

Having met Jonathon by chance at a post-workout anti-Pub Club event last night, I can attest to the veracity of his statement about losing the hair off the backs of your hands. I must also admit that I've never had to use the Dip Trick, as generally warming the canister with one's hands is enough to do the trick. Never admit to a group of virtual strangers that you have ever visited this website.

Homegirl, I am going to break into your house and install a spell-check on your computer!

As a paying customer returning to regular indoor workouts as the weather cools, I can't say I'm too thrilled about it. Does that mean they will pay me to stay home that day?

Oh, crap, my TV hasn't been on in maybe 6 months. I was just picking on Greg because he's a redneck!

It's that time again...

I think Greg might be a little homophobic, Dan. What do you think, Stefan?

Seems like a good time for a little chat session if anyone's interested.

Ah, but you just can't put a price on some things.....

I've never been there, but Tahquitz Canyon just outside of Palm Springs would have better weather than J-Tree in December. Someone who knows what they are talking about can tell you if this is really a good idea or not climbingwise, but I can tell you the weather would probably be good. Palm Springs is not far from J-Tree, but the elevation's lower.

Figger 8 check your PMs

Try again, little buddy!
