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

don't think anyone's mentioned city park at index? supersweet 2 minute approach! wear a helmet cam and post your tr for comment for the complete experience

nice - doesn't fit this particuliar window of mine jsut yet, but maybe this summer? would like the kid-os to a strange and mysterious foreign land

x2 - learn aid before heading off on a true big wall, and practice hauling, lowering out, and cleaning traverses in a cragging context - west face of leaning tower is a cool 1st wall for yosemite too where do you live?

most local weather looks like crap over my 5 day break - yosemite looks badass however - sure nobody out there has the time n' inclination?

nice - standard russki epic it sounds like

and congrats on scooping tvash on an astronomy based story!

no tears for spirit - robots don't die! shit, a few centuries from now some astronaut can scoop her up as a souvenir, plug in some new batteries, and she'll be right as rain!

i didn't first eat doritoes b/c of advertising - i first ate them b/c i was at a party, and they were in a bowl, and they were tasty - later, when i was of age, and had cash, i would make that hard choice between nacho and ranch flavor, again not b/c of ads, but b/c i was hungry/bored/in 7-11/or simply b/c they were by the damn cash register when i was also buying a 50 cent pack of camels your "obesity crisis" is a beast w/ many legs, only 1 of which would be ads. at any rate, this crisis is far less menacing then the true food shortage crises that once killed peasants by the thousands in endless cycles. it's hard to feel sympathy for folks who fucking eat themselves to death. i like shakespeare's take on being portly, a line from merry old jack falstaff to his drinking buddy, young prince henry, who is afraid will neglect him when he becomes king: ". . .If sack (a drink made of wine and sugar) and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! if to be old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is damned: if to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord; banish Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins: but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant, being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's company: banish plump Jack, and banish all the world." let plump jack be fat in peace, eh?

Does carbon fiber give you lighter fluffier poops, is it better than metamucil? if everyone uses carbon the inevitable carbon shortage (do the math!) will bring about the end times

it's all those pro-cycling commercials you've been exposed to no doubt

uh, the real question: why the fuck does anyone want to watch a bunch of dudes in nut-hugger outfits ride bikes for days on end?

celebrity match: greg mortensen v lance armstrong?

The Umpqua is drying out, eh? fo'shizzle, and come next month the family floats off to virginia and i have fuck all to do!

x2 and congrats on yer 1st (right, plaid?) yosylum big wall

'cuz history's so full of successful examples of changing human behavior? because commercial advertising (propaganda) doesn't change human behavior? commercials just help the rock get rolling down the mtn - doritoes pretty much sell themselves - do you deny that humans, bugs and everything else alive tend to find the path of least resistance, that cheap and easy, however suspect the content might be, is awful damn tempting to a big old chunk of the population?

'cuz history's so full of successful examples of changing human behavior? not giving a shit enough to change a thing is a theme that seems to play across damn near every problem out there

but where? all this talk of kfc sure makes me want some chicken fingers drowned in tangy fucking bbq

it alwasy comes down to t.v. and commercials for you, which is wierd, 'cuz you don't seem the tv-watching type.

if the gov has to stay out of chick's uteuruses then i'd like them to stay out of my stomach too why is this so hard to figure out firfuksakes? require folks to honestly label their food and drugs, then get the fuck out of the wya and let consumers make up their own goddamn mind.

a federally protected right to an afternoon nap would !

perhaps ya'll would be happier living in the "repo man" world?

most lsd vendors would disagree w/ you

love how they blur out that chicks face, as if THAT was the problem
