got a handful of fawked-up camalots and aliens needing trigger wires replaced and i'm sick of my half-assed solutions breaking - anyplace in portland that can do it right? mail away places? the site's search option hasn't helped much

being 6'7" apparently was good enough for me

when on earth were we ever doing THAT?

i've done it (though, for giggles, i think i did it to get to town crier) - it's fun, but then so is the more popular alternative since it's so freeable strange indeed you could do an aid pitch faster than folks doing a free pitch

not like the italians were somber in the wake of mussolin getting strung up neither - course, then, they do have a bit more history of killing tyrants...

what/who are the danes afraid of currently? the kalahari bushmen? the red goddamn chinese? seems like most folks in most eras have their boogey-men.

hello hyperbole!

i'll promise to come if you'll play norweigian wood so i can drunkenly bray it completly out of time and tune

holy shit you musta been eating yer weedies this morning old boy?

liar! the one true grail belongs to me!

wish more folks would admit this - i don't think its so rare as you'd think, certainly not looking at the fucking news - you don't have to be a monster to do something monstrous.

perhaps if you were to provide a racehorse play by play?

wish i could be so placid in my handling of emotions - the first years of both my kids lives were like tours of duty in vietnam it felt like

coolness - looks like 45 degrees? i was so in danger!

if you can be around a screaming infant and not start feeling pyscho you're a far better man than me...i feel bad for any unhappy asshole in that position. it's not some shit that some men are well-evolved to handle. infanticide is damn near ubiquitious throughout the mammalian world. maybe we've evolved less than folks would want?

that looked safe hard to imagine crafts so dorky-looking could actually be used in a dangerous pursuit

my magnus opus on that side of the hill that time of the year: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=365727

i thought this was going to give me a virus?

the rest of the animal maybe, but camel TOES have never gone extinct in north america! holy shit, was gonna put in a pic but instead let me implore you to never google said term

broughtons was nice and dry yesterday! alas, tonight i must serve as taxi-driver to small people

article here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/nov/24/theobserver the top of the list of demands: "(Q2) As for the second question that we want to answer: What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you? (1) The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam"

would have to do an exhaustive intrewubs search - i do remember reading one of osama's rants from 2002 that did include a call for the usa to adopt islam - it must be in the memory hole somewhere

being an agnostic type guy, i reckon i'm in that trap you describe - in the grand sense there is no right and wrong, just weak and strong - it's a fucked state of affairs that really is best dealt w/ though a combination of strong drink and wilderness wandering obviously there were other ways to get the usa's attention beyond the 9/11 approach - i don't know if any of them, including the 9/11 way, would work. certainly 9/11 was stupid and ultimately pretty damn counterproductive for the evil-doer's aims. tvash, you forgot osama's demand that the usa accept islam as well while the 2 demadns you listed sound reasonable enough, i don't think homeboy was the type that could much have been reasoned with, do you?

Really, you can't tell the difference? I get your point about "how do you really know who is right" and it's a fun philosophical dead-end that leads to all sorts of logical games, but in this one case, I think there should be enough data to give you at least *some* idea which one is most likely right. remind me who was cheering on 9/11? pissed off saudis for us supporting hte absolute monarchs who rule over them? iranians who remember us doing the same in their country? palestinians who notice the "made in america" brands on the helicopters and tanks that have shot them up? again, i'm not saying i'm on their side, just that i understand the source of their anger and see it having the same validity as ours, and that i'd like all of us to move beyond the hairless monkey dynamic we're so impossibly hard-wired into.
