well, it'll be russki, so no doubt it'll contain: - many innocents dying or being hopelessly hurt - bad weather - heartbreak and tragedy - ultimate intoxication

if nothing else at smith, bubbas in bondage is a nice 5.hard climb that's dry pretty much no matter what!

Thanks, I've already got a broken record at home. History is a foundation, a stepping stone, not an excuse for your aging hippy nihilist schtick. Did your parents always keep your carseat facing backwards? Just curious. hmm - um, i'm pretty damn young still at 36 and my parents never used carseats as i recall (got a real fond memory of my dad grabbing me and holding me in place while taking a 40 mph turn through an intersection and the station wagon door flew open w/ me on the verge of catapulting out ) - i remember disappearing, young as 7, on a bike in the morning and not coming home till dinner, which does seem to be a habit that's died out among the yuppie set spend most of my employed day grappling w/ history, its lessons and its value, so i'm hardly ignorant on the subject, though no doubt don't stand up to snuff by your standards - feel free to accuse me of the resort to authority fallacy too, btw, as the ad hominem thing could use a break for a moment - seems to me history makes the limits of the possible pretty clear - there are actually pretty obvious limits to how much you can change societies, cultural attributes, the arc of events, institutions, etc. no doubt the crusade of better eatign will be a glorious success, if only dipshits like me could See the Light! mostly i don't like to set standards higher for others than for myself - i eat reasonably responsibly and am in tolerable health, and would be annoyed if, on the rare occasions i feel liek buying a mickey-d's value meal, it cost twice as much as it does now - i also don't like being preached too, on really any fucking subject you might could think of - radical shit, eh?

aren't pretty much ALL 5.12's dry when it rains? That would be nice.... unfortunetly, no. maybe i was thinking 5.13? seems like all them thare hard clibms are upside down under big ass roofs

aren't pretty much ALL 5.12's dry when it rains?

duh! dude, when in human history was that (minus the celebrity, not sure where that comes from) NOT the best solution? do you derive more pleasure w/ your feverish internet battle to Right The Ship?

i'm no timid mouse, afraid of the gov at every turn - nor am i a screaming republican fascist dickhead - i'm pro-legalization of drugs like you rob - doesn't seem we're generally so different in our politics - this one issue is an interesting wedge though i do think, as did that one dickhead philosopher, that we do live more or less in the best possible world - it does worry me that THIS is what looks like your idea of an A through F grade for foods sold in the usa is not so bad, though i don't see how that's going to be so very different from the current regime

BEAR GRYLLS true 'dat - holy shit, that dude is a hard-core addict - negro is drinking his own piss 10 minutes after landing in the big bad bush

all my teachers taught me was how to knuckle under to petty authority

you wanna get higher than you've ever been in your life and fo' free as well? dude, drink your own urine. no shit. experiment and report back.

spam burgers actually are pretty damn tasty bottom line, eat what you want and feel as smug as you want for your superior taste, just lay off telling everybody else what they should have on their plate? and fucking corporations, sure an easy target and mostly soulless, but jeebus, they are mostly just giving people what they want, even if through commericials they are being sure to remind people what that is

not sure 'bout that, but for chrissakes they coudl stand to have to buy extra plane tickets

I have serious doubt that Jack in any period would eat much of the commercial crap that is today called food. senator, you clearly did not know jack falstaff! fucksakes - mongols drank fermented horsemilk at room temps, mixed w/ fresh horse blood - i'm pretty certain they wouldn't scared off by a ho-ho and i'm damn sure they'd murder you for a can of spam!

maybe poor black folk just have different values than you? fat albert was a goddamn hero of the people and leader of the gang!

ok yes, it is a crisis of obsesity - but really it's a just a subset of the crisis of affluence - the same engine that drives us to get porky is also driving us to kill all the brown people and the goddamn polar bears

"Dionysius of Heracleia was notorious for his appetite, and eventually grew so weighty that he could scarcely budge: he suffered from apnea or narcolepsy besides, prompting his doctors to prick his flesh with needles whenever he fell asleep on his throne. A contemporary poet has him declare that he aspired to end his days "on my back, lying on my many rolls of fat, scarcely uttering a word, taking labored breaths, and eating my fill," for of all the ways a man might die, an excess of luxury was the only truly happy death. Nevertheless, he lived to what was then the ripe old age of 55, earning a reputation for fairness and generosity that competed with his size as an object of astonishment."

yes - the problem that people are people - wait, why's that a problem?

people kept telling this bitch to put down the mastodon-jerky 24,000 years ago but no!!!!

ain't life a bitch, this dude could figure out all the whys n' wherefores of the decline n' fall of the roman empire, just not how to resist the siren call of the bottomless bucket of chicken n' biscuits?!?

Nobody should be forced to live in a culture of fast food without adequate alternative. but there are adequate alternatives and no one's forcing you to go to fuckign kfc! quit hating on jack!

maybe?

i'm not the cigarette industy, but i have smoked off and on throughout my adult life - i think most of the current regs are reasonable, but i think the level of taxation has passed sanity in most states, as well as some of the regs - new york says you can't smoke on a beach now?!? hello, the whole place is an ashtray! it is not for society or the gov acting on their behalf to tell me what to do w/ my body beyond no-shit basics like don't kill people - it is also not for those same folks to de facto force me by excessive taxes or regulations. at any rate

trying to parse everyone's every single habit into a proper health price is quixotic and somehow distinctly nazi-ish. fuksakes, let people live their lives how they want w/n very broad, reasonable parameters and stfu up about everything else, eh?

"we card under 35 for cheetoes"

perhaps b/c your regulations sound likely to be draconian? "hashish or hash-browns" great bit of poetry there jay!
