"bible spice" = first great gut-laugh of the day

those central column aid-routes take a long time - they're all long and have very few quick n' easy n' solid placements - go get after smooth dancer and it's like that, starting from the ground!

As an energy source for producing power to the grid, it's probably the most sustainable one we have at present. plus, re: "we still don't know what to do w/ the waste", the storage solution is actually pretty simple - pour nevada a tall glass of shut the fuck up (okay, sure, harry reid probably will need to have croaked before that keg can get tapped) then use yucca mtn

all we are is dust in the wind dude jeebus, how long did ya'll spend on that pitch? when it suddenly became dark in the video i grew concerned for you boys safety did you use any of that iron plaid, or is it clean? i need to borrow those ladders of yours sometime and give'me a test drive - they look fawk'n nifty.

linky - don't tell choada boy a far more important technology than what capt. kirk was so concerned w/ recreating

cannibalism sure seemed a sustainable business practice in texas chainsaw massacre - so long as the highway don't close down...

if i was transported back to 100,000 BC i'd likely spend all my time trying to recreate the adult beverage industry from memory

that'd be crazy to free but not hard for the hardmen for sure (powderhund would dig that fucking thing!). for the mortals, freeing past the hanging anchor is more conceivable, but holy shit falling onto several of those hangers is almost too hideous to contemplate

cannibalism

dood, they make a pill for that these days larry!

i've always been a cat person - probably explains why cats piss me off

Which one? none of 'em, of course - don't you know i'm a big, dumb teddy bear who thinks we should just kill our enemies w/ love?

my tr from last january has good pix n' prose, and holy-shit, some actual useful beta: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=935755 you might like a short stickclip but it ain't essential - from big-ledge (and you can aid p1 of course - even in the damp it's not too hard to free to the cave belay, and then it's a long c1 pitch to big ledge), it's about 50 meters to a great stance and 4 belay bolts - there's a hanging belay along the way i recommend skipping - the first 25 meters in almost all gear, w/ 1 or 2 antique pin/pin-stacks you can clip, and very steep - past the hanging anchor it's mostly old bolts, w/ the occasional decent one thrown in - the times i've done it i've found a hand-placed beak, talon-hook and skyhook all necessary for that 2nd part (and its nice having the belayer down on big ledge so you don't fall into him, which is not impossible on the wackiest bolt ladder i've seen ). i have NOT done the last pitch to the top of the norseman's head (the trail is a simple scramble from there), but i did discover this summer a fat set of anchors and huge rap rings there. that last pitch looks serious, and fun! stephenwulf rocks - this time of year, for punkass aid climbers like ourselves, you'd be very, very hardpressed to go groudn to trail in a day. and big ledge itslef is a rocking place to spend the night - easy place to hang a ledge from and sleep, and you can still easily sit around and rock out on the ledge itself...

bears is a popular climb w/ the hardman-types - it's easy to aid if'n yer a coward so wtf? did ya'll spend the night out there? gnarly, gnarly. ya'll might like rapping into big ledge and spending hte night there before the closure - upper stephenwulf is a bitch'n aid climb.

ok, ole'hal seemed a pretty easy case, at least on what's on his wikipedia page (and i can't imagine that 3 years in jail will soften him much) - i don't listen to right radio much at all - do they actually say shit as crazy over the top as senor turner? seems like those guys, fuckstickes that they are, are a bit more nuanced...

how'd the ledge like them thare winds?

"He admired the Communist Manifesto and burned the American flag.*" the stars n' stripes gets an asterik these days? i like how political parties are like churches, always passing round the plate to get the good word out!

the more relevant question is how effective anti-obscenity laws have been in squelching the 8 words you cannot say on radio and television versus the inattention paid to violent threats on very same media. Want a $250K fine every time Howard Stern says 'blowjob'? Go for it. Hey, but if Howard Stern suggests that his listeners take up arms against elected officials...no prob, man! Thanks to a the FCC's obscenity restrictions (ridiculous, but there you are) on speech, the mechanism are already in place to 'tone down' the threats the minute the government decides that this should be a priority. $250K per incident. The pundits may say FU, but their owners sure as hell won't. This is not 'politicizing' the issue, as such sanctions would apply to everyone, regardless of Leftie/Righty message. Of course, it would be levied almost exclusively against the Right...as they are the only public figures employing this kind of rhetoric. great points - i suppose "obscenity" is easy to crack down on b/c it boils down to the 8 fucking shit-black n' cock-sucking white words we can't use - there's not much grayness to them what will be the clearly enforcable rules for what the pundits can say w/o inciting others to violence? a concrete rule or two, w/ a snazzy fox clip to illustrate it, would be cool.

an honest qeustion, as i don't know much about it, but how have the trials of prominent rwandas who incited their countryment to violence gone? i recall some were still in progress? how sucessful were persecutions of those guys, and to what degree where their statements similiar to anybody here in the usa? it would be nice if we could be a bit more friendly in our discourse here...

i recall george washington being concerend about the vitriol of partisan politics in his day i also recall the first attempted american political assassin, who tried to kill jackson, was a kook, set off by opponents of jackson who thought his policies bad for the economy

Congrats Ivan. Now that Rob has seen the true nature of Jabba, you have the master's lap all to yourself! think you missed somethign - libtards can actually disagree on shit n' still be friends...

Agreed. So the right really needs to back off with all their hate talk. you assume they don't want to reap what they've been sowing

this calls for a t-chart!
