w/ or w/o weed?

recent ski descent of TC doesn't make it sound in shape for ascending: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1094272/1

magic!

I just might make it, so long as the wedder won't mess up my make up... dunno 'bout you n' yer history of night climbing!

here's to the final full-moon ascent of the season then - january 27!

still not the same fucking monstrosity as the kitty-thread though

1791, actually, but whatever - the interwebz are for fun goddammit. i've no expectation of a solution so radical - limiting legal weapons to revolvers, shotguns and limited capacity rifles seems the most likely middle ground attainable (but if there's anything liberals suck at, it's negotitating, so the musket-solution is a good starting point!)

I think we can agree that a shot gun or revolver are 1) adequate for home defense and 2) within the spirit of the founders' intentions and the 2nd amendment. All without bringing up the ridiculous proposal to go back to muskets. sure, but a (rifled) musket will still be necessary for the hunters n' beer-bottle menaces of 'merica, no?

Nah! Maybe in Europe. apples n' oranges - that shit is amazing - still, would like to see THAT get done in the dark

i'm from a deep gun culture, so you seem to have me wrong - sure, i don't own a gun, but that's mostly b/c i'm an alcoholic maniac-depressive and realize i'm less likely to kill everyone around me and myself if i instead rely on a babe-ruth baseball bat and good humor to handle the violent challenges of my domestic life abuse the 1st amendment and you make a man wail. abuse the 2nd and you make a whole community cry. so long as you're happy though...

you miss a mother-fucker w/ a blunderbuss at 5 feet, you probably deserve to die

red herring anti-guns people repeatedly claim that use of a gun in defense very rarely happens and if it is tried, it is very risky and likely to fail. GGK: bugger off, you are on permanent ignore wtf, red-herring? relevant to my argument. interpret the 2nd amendment in the "originalist" fashion conservative jurists are so in love with. the founders gave you a right to a musket, no more. also, "red herring" to say those who aren't for a wild-west gun environment are "anti-gun"

a blunderbuss would still have the job done just fine though, no? she didn't need an ar-15 or a 200 round magazine, did she?

"for every one of us living in this world means waiting for our end let he who can achieve glory before death when a warrior is gone that will be his best and only bulwark"

from nbc.com "The bad season has been blamed on an especially virulent flu strain, the A H3N2 strain. Another A strain, H1N1, and two influenza B strains are also causing illness. Vaccines prepared for this year are a good match for three of the viruses, although one strain of influenza B is not covered by the vaccine and may be accounting for 8 percent to 10 percent of flu cases, according to infectious disease experts. It can take two weeks for the flu shot to provide full protection, and in the interim, people may still get sick, health officials caution. The shots don't provide 100 percent protection, only between 65 percent and 80 percent in a healthy person, but they can lessen the severity and duration of symptoms. The earlier people get shots, the sooner they'll be protected, health officials add."

my school nurse said this year's flu actually is a close match to what was in the vaccine - any word on how many of those showing up sick actually had the vaccine?

lovely - but for a thailand t.r. i expect far more in the way of pix of scantily clad beach-goers!

Perhaps you should give up your aspirations as most of your posts sound like they're written by an autistic 12 y/o high on crack. is there an aid-equiavelent that he could aspire too then? a1, for example, recycling george carlin quotes? so many haters out there....

ski'n'luks'phun!

if you can't make people laugh, then shut the fuck up - i've tried hard to ignore this basic precept

funny, my high school guidance counselor said my problem was i didn't wanna-be nothing ah, yes, mike reminds me of my #5 for the year, as i'd stalled out on 4 - impaling meself on a staub after a tiny fall on stone soup, finishing the last 4 pitches unable to determine what exactly i'd gored beneath my heavy pants and big wall harness, half-urking in the p-lot realizing my thigh looked rather like a healthy hunk of steak, then eschewing the emergency room and sleeping on me side all night so as not to have to hang out w/ meth-heads till 3 a.m. meh, actually, in retrospect, it was kinda fun - more fun was the exotic locale in which i later removed the stitches

if oleg n' nastia had a ruble for every time they had a misery-bivy on hood....

looks like a claustrophobic nightmare - throw in a ball-gag though and it might work just fine for indoor pursuits

who is this tague feller though, and how did he meet his demise?

i don't understand, why exitign through asgard? didn't you come up from the stuart lake th?
