the olson topo map shows it as "cloud nine", ending up at those 2 wierd home made L-hangers near young warriors

must be festivus everyday on teh intrewebs as "the airing of the grievances" is scarcely interupted

one of my first clibms, back in '99...someday when the unnamed glacier on forbidden melts all the way out i gotta go see if i can find my sweeeeet red helmet!

my pop somewhere about 1941

i'm sure the two of you would get along famously, patrique, the russian and irish people being, after all, famously alike in their affection for booze, cruel sport and livestock you're about due for a return to the bacon-wand - come do something grandiose on the south side this time and maybe i can even arrange an introduction?

they have been soaking themselves in Nature's Own Preservative practically from their mother's tit afterall!

6 dvds?!? jesus christ, can you children of tolstoy do anything that's SHORT? ww2? don't you mean The Great Patriotic War?

enemy at the gates was kinda lame imho, but the movie took the title from the authoritative book on stalingrad, and is well worht the read best book i think i've read on ww2 is "the forgotten soldier" an english translation of a frenchman, guy sajer's, service in the wehrmacht - depressing as phuck.

dude, this is the internet on a friday, what more answer do you need than that?!? now if this kid won't hurry up w/ this damn test already!

This calls for a full-length TR... it was from this trip... http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=480655 didn't really get enough coverage truthfully, perhaps b/c we were all barely able to remember a bit of it, or perhaps b/c nooksack tower just overwhlemed the whole thing...

better yet was mike layton practically challenging homeslice to murder our drunk asses

i prefer to think it was the weight and sagacity of my single vote

yeah, and unlike the opening scene, apparently most folks had no fucking clue what he was saying when he'd make his big public speeches my grandpa tried to arrest patton as part of the big louisiana war game right before ww2 started - patton drove through his opfor position, but then berated him and called him a cock-sucker or some such and drove off in his staff car

history is made!

can remember literally trembling during htat scene, watching it in the theatre w/ the full sound-effects you know patton didn't sound anythign like george c scott in real life, right?

not the dirty dozen!?! patton looks pretty damned dated after shaving ryan's privates, and TRL, while a cool movie, is so completly baffling and surreal that it doesn't so much seem a movie about ww2 as a work of high art/philosophy on life itself

still seem to be plenty of them selling salmon n' taking the white man's chips away

the worst hangover i ever had in my life was in bellingham - bout sums up the place for me (that and an angry, angry crack dealer)

i like drop zone, if for no other reason than it was very damn descriptive my own appelation, before i knew of the others, of "the bone zone" i like best though

and that's why the indians are crying

would sound like sarah palin if'n you hadn't used that fancy pedantic word

i wish it were so simple - didn't i meet you at smith once jay? recall you being plenty funny and friendly - at any rate, he's a far more civil bloke and likely as not smarter than me (a simple feat, i know) and no less informed - its damned impossible for me to understand how folks so similiar to myself can have such different views on important subjects...ah, but this misses the pt of being funny... Yes - we've met more than once although my three year sentence on the EC and my subsequent diversion into WW kayaking has unfortunately precluded any further social engagements. For the record - I think you are a cool dude, obviously very smart, and would be glad to have the opportunity to have any hypothetical future children taught in your classroom. Unfortunately for me, Diderot, D'Alembert, Turgot, Rousseau, D'Holbach, etc lead directly to Burke, Locke, Hume, Gibbon, Smith, etc - and once I veered off into Menger, Mises, and Hayek I was pretty much doomed to pariah status in progressive enclaves. This after alienating a good many social conservatives with the whole agnostic evolutionist schtick. I'm also good for alienating your average naturopath/homeopath/vaccine-denier so I'm pretty much a hit at every social function in Seattle. Typical evening on the town for me re-created in beat-poem form below: [video:youtube] i seem to recall a driving rain-storm at skull hollow, w/ the whole party practially standing in the fire, drowning in smoke can we at least blame your alleged insanity on being beaten by a nun in her undies or something?

if it wasn't in das boot i don't know it course, das boot is pretty much a ragingly anti-nazi movie i don't see how a man can be pro-veteran and not be anti-war, and thus anti-conservative - the "soldiers are political, we just serve each other" thing is of course noble and cool, but in the end, for the whole world to wash its hand of individual connection and involvement in national conflicts is uber-retard...

i miss voting for that woman

something about the navy - that connection to a ship (the barkey)the ultimate symbol of corporate identity and labor - the all or nothing thing - did you know 3 out of 4 german submariners died in ww2?
