    next week

    yeah, totally would go after jberg again, but i want, like, ya know, a forecast that doesn't ensure my frozen death in the attempt
  3. my winter break starts this friday - forecast is looking mostly like ass in all directions, but still wanna get something done - got a whole week and will fill what days i can, so whatever you might be able to swing - hood/rainier in the fog? smith for a buncha days? snow/ice/free/aid/sport/trad whatever - preferable a goofy fuck, will settle for a lot less if'n you got a car more reliable than mine
  4. shiiiiiit, if it weren't for you red-neck white-boys, my ass would still be struggling to reach the damn hut i do look forward to going back someday when i can actually see the vistas
  5. all day miserable ascent through bottomless fluff? sounds familiar! think we managed to get a bunch drunker that evening than ya'll though
  6. this didn't really help me understand the scenes that are entirely in french in henry v
  7. I was thinking 420. you can't get russians high - must have somethign to do w/ the cold?
  8. there's only one answer... ...42
  9. you haven't read shakespeare until you've read it in the original klingon
  10. latinas, on the other hand, could very well do some shit to you that you'd never suspect in a thousand years
  11. cedric the entertainer pointed out that black folk have very similiar views

    house buying in Bend

    all the kewl people live in prineville
  13. when pmr starts wearing barrels of burgundy below their beanies, you can fucking bet i'm starting to call for more rescues
  14. frankly, i'm starting to doubt my own existence...
  15. sure, coulda seen it 4 years ago, but young men, like any age people really, often are willing to put up w/ bucket-loads of bullshit before hitting the breaking-point, jah? a lost expense for the nation surely, but if that is the cost of the general goal of keeping us on the constant course of a jesus-free gendarme, i'm generally content. hope this kid is able to make do at any rate...

    Rescue on Mt Hood

    not my pay grade... still, were it, it seems like the aforementioned pressures of not getting good boys blasted for buffons would be pressing?

    Rescue on Mt Hood

    i'll always be fine w/ the sar-boys saying no-fucking-way-boy-o - that said, on the volcanoes, the weather's usually much better near the base, so it's pretty easy to at least set out from the parking lot before pulling the plug...
  18. i of course couldn't' begin to say, having no more info than contained in the link - i'm not inclined, however, to see this boy as a coward, as his act seems more brave than the contary - christ, how dangerous could afghansitan really be for an officer type in what is likely to be the last (or damn close to it) year in which the us army continues to muck about in that clam-lappers paradise? at any rate, my interest in the story is the general concern of wishing to keep all of our civil institutions secular. old army-family talking here, so don't get the wrong idea - done spent the first 16 years of my life living in godawful paint-schemed military housing

    Rescue on Mt Hood

    i look at everything through my own lens - i wouldn't become an SAR guy unless i was at peace w/ risking my life to go get stupid gits, much like (as in my real profession) i wouldn't become a teacher w/o willing to deal w/ (on a daily basis) folks who couldn't give a brass-fuck about the things of the brain...
  20. ah, i see. so...what would have been a better way to draw attention to and protest the conquest of one of our most sacrosanct secular institutions by the scourge of the Shaved Men? doesn't seem so hard to see sacrificing your career and hard-won appointment to an august body to gain public awareness as an example of the ideals in that oath to protect the constitution against all enemies...
  21. can't recall swearing any oath lately, 'cept the ones y-day morning when i couldn't find my keys, so whatchu' getting at willis?

    Rescue on Mt Hood

    no, but he has talked about being at annapolis for awhile before saying fuckit. can't see old'boy as a professional killer of anythign 'cept powdered donuts (and holy shit, don't go under-estimating on that account!)

    Rescue on Mt Hood

    what if the same rescuer died trying to save a guy who waited until the absolute last minute to ask for help? fuck it, whatever - if you devote your life to saving people, you pretty much accept that you could get killed b/c people are dipshits, much like, if you join the military, you can get killed b/c your civilian leaders are clueless monkey-fuckers...
  24. t-minus 2 and..uh...uh...fawk it!
