i'm enjoying it but seriously, the OP's problem is more w/ the ideas of lenin than the actual man himself - statues are easy to destroy of course, but ideas not so much - how do you propose to abolish the concept of autocratic communism?

Really, is this truly the best way? Really deviant and fucked up. they left part of auschwitz standing didn't they? little big horn still is largely given over to history too, and today's visitors have far more sympathy for the winners that day then custer i'd wager. the fact that we're having a conversation about evil of lenin is proof enough of the value of the statue - how many kids have been driven by that statue i wonder and asked who it was and had it explained in terms that you'd approve? more than who have and admired the man it represents i'm sure. i suspect you're like most folks - you need something to hate - it keeps you warm n' bubbly inside - ole'illiych does that for you something special -and how would you feel if the universe suddenly swerved into left field and left you nothing of statutes of unicorns n' shit?

if you want to remember history and its attendant lessons, isn't putting a statue of a famous fuck-nut up on public display a pretty goddamn good way to do it? hope you're wrong on the nukes thing - if it does happen, i doubt the lenin statue will have had anythign to do w/ it (and a MAD-exchange oughta put your art-complaints in perspective right quick)

bug head-net - the only way to endure the mozzies when they're at warp 9 levels birth control's a nice touch - i rely on my natural, inner ugliness though, much lighter

who gives a shit about dead people? lenin, stalin, gandhi, jesus, muhammad- fuck'em, they're long in the grave and dead-as-dillinger - who can they hurt or help now? your fight is w/ the living who are somehow inspired by their lives - how many fremonters get so fired up by old illiych's homely visage as to rush right home and thumb through his manifesto? i'm putting a shiny nickel on exactly zilch.

we can arrange the particuliars when we're a wee bit closer to the party - i'll likely be done w/ work by 3 that friday, so would say meet me in camas 'round then - we'll hump all the shit to the slum-it, then fix it all down to the ground - probably won't take more than 2 hours total - a huge rope like yours is ideal for the first fix since it'll get fixed to lower anchors too and a damned touron won't be able to unfix it at the top n' walk away w/ it

sounds perfect - you coming to the party? wanna go out friday evenign before and help string it all up? christ, how much does 420 feet of muck-encrusted cord weigh? is it a cosmic coincide that 420 feet is damn-near exact the distance from the summit to the swiss ledges?

holy sheeit muslims, you coming out for the party there ole'boy?

done a few nordic trips up to teacup this winter and dig it - can't ever imagine having a pack on and in terrain where a fuck-up would have grave consequences...

fine by me - let's do it by night and everybody bring a guy fawkes mask for the event this spring i thought it would cool to fix the entirety of stone soup to the summit and have a jug-party - would need a voluneteer or two the day before to set it up and ideally 2 more static lines...

[TR] Beasodden Rock - Jensen's Rectum (fa? III+, 5.8 C1) 1/16/2011
ivan replied to ivan's topic in Oregon Cascades
ole'dave could clamber up that heinous off-width but never had a sense of humor? "rectum" kinda made sense as the climb was tucked in between two cheeks, so, unusually for me, i wasn't being crude just to be crude... thank dog you didn't see my tr for "jensen's rimjob!" -
could drones be the key to finally beating the afeared blackberry bush the fuck back into place?!?

2/22 - day 6 - calm n' chilly - snow in the trenches of the north side - busted burritoes - bad black-ass coffee - a ringing crescendo of a half-baked hangover - siege tactics - lawn chair - hammering - beer(s) n' satan smoke - red rover red rover - calm at the end of day bryan hanging on the big-green-big-boi drippy drippy drippy crept back into the deeps of the glistening cave
