ivan

i like, uh, have climbed, like, uh, the monkey face and the turkey monster - do they count?

yo bill, who's talking of going ot the valley this spring? i wanna go do an el cap route on my spring break but all my homies are having kids n' jobs n' shit!

had you put the bolts in prior to the freeze or y-day on lead?

anyone wanna skip school w/ me on friday?

i was clearly born in the wrong damn decade

well ivan i think u would like to see gun's banned, RIGHT???? pope and dawg would like to see bolts banned. alan watts is like the sam colt of climbing... don't bring ur drills to town homeboy ban guns? naw. a nice idea maybe but impossible. what i'd like is the 2nd amendment to be interpreted to include only weapons technology dating to the 18th century. oughta make school shootings a bit more comical and a little less tragic

there can only ever by one cave man, and he had to be killed so that we could live it's impossible to have a conversation w/ a zealot - it can only turn into tragedy or comedy, both of which belong in spray - in fact, wtf are YOU saying kev, you think EVERYTHING belongs here!

probably 'cuz only fox can ask the difficult questions

nice dude! totally random too, or were you also a clancy bros fan?

the rich n' powerful appear to be dipshits on both sides of the spectrum (seem to recall the same story last year re: auto bailouts)

No shit? Thank for clearing that up. I suspect many Oregonians would have no idea That would be correct. Most people are clueless. Just trying to add more information that seems pertinent. Glad you are so well informed as to not need the extra information. drool is probably not on your redudant emailing list is all and therefore don't dig that yer mass emailing these dispatches to your entire address book, which no doubt contains the climb'n'clueless

like trying to fashion a statue of david out of petrified pelican shit

i wouldn't be that excited yet pete - it was windy as hell at beacon y-day but still the day time temps were above freezing - if you got the time though, why not take a drive?

i was gonna put up some video of it last night, but instead mostly i just laid on my couch in a ptsd-coma dave, you get any decent pix? if i'd got any video of you doing the insane twist on your jug, rope ripping over the edge and all, you know i'd have it out for you!

i bootied a pin similiar to that on the local access anchor a few years back joe - take a look at it adn have it if you wish - fwak'n nuclear day out at beacon 2day - felt like god was screaming at me all day

fuck - its the end of them all [video:youtube]

Thanks Dave It's a work in progress. Guess I forgot the camera doesnt auto orientate like my blackberry when u rotate it. Yeah, I do the same thing. Today was the day. Blue skies, no wind, but lucky for me, I GOT to go do the family Christmas tree day thingy. Anyone heading out Sunday? will be out there in the morning dave - gonna do s-wulf w/ justin in the fawk'n cold - come along and hang out! might want to bring some jugs too as i'm planning on doing the upper pitches

shit, cool views of scw if nuthang else!

good thing that wasn't a video, eh, dave?

don't know'bout'the bone's, but my POTD award wears serious merit, and you my'man have earned it w/ the no-doubt wicked-ardous research that musta been necessary to root-out this gem

dude u can't be a Man unless yer always On Point - Manning the Perimeter - Setting the Boundaries - Defending the North Forty [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqtgfjkB6Pg

i'm not sure, but i think we do still masterbate manually

so long as i'm playing the part of The Wise Man then, bill, can i also recommend what you Should take? mp3 player for the walk up the slope and a fatty vacoum/thermos bottle of hot tea during the max of 3 stops to the summit? slow n' steady on the walk up - the zone between sweating and freezing - stop once an hour at most - -staring it!?!

don't head too far off the track - arguing the why's'n'wherefores of a historical process is neessarily more messy than climatology - french arrogance isn't the issue, though i know no conservative can go stand to go too long w/o bashing on our former allies the point was, we, the us (who i hate no more than i hate on any other nationality - and by the way, what is it w/ you conservatives and your desire to assert that you love sweet jesus/usa more than The Others? our country isn't our prom date! ) are just like everybody else- all humans are short-sighted and petty (you would never stick a fork in machiavelli's eye, forsoothe!) - our refusal in 1918, as a signficant part of the relevant world, to join an international organization that could, as a solid front, stand up to tyranny is a historical embarassement, and an excellent analogy to today - if we had been an active part of the LON in the 20s, we would have been active from the start in preventing the ungratitious shit-kicking of the weimar republic, in drawing the line at the rhineland, in the opposition to fascism in italy and germany. sure, we were involved in an independent fashion at that time, but the message was clear: we dont' really give a shit what happens over there so long as it doesn't disturb us over here. the thing is, in ww2 we could wait until the world hung in the balance to act, and still see a happy ending - this next epic is a very different bird, and our tardiness may very well prove fatal - and what really is the great sacrifice you're being called to? buying energy efficietn light bulbs and driving a faggy prius? business can do just fine, and waiting to get whole-hog into it might just as well put us far back in terms of new technolgy and industries. what exactly are you afeared of again? i was hardly a good econ student, but the basic lesson wasn't that hard - price reflects cost - cost in an enligthened world should include the carbon cost of doing business - why does this basic concept equal the jack-boot of uncle sam equal kicking the virgin mary in the shitter? the price of a gallon of gas or a car or an hour of electricty should include the cost of getting the co2 back out of the atmosphere - holy shit call national enquirer!

at least you're a CONSISTENT wing-nut conservative so, hypothetically, a vigorous, shit -any-, US participation in a league of nations would have had no effect, zero, in preventing/minimizing ww2? "hey hitler - remember who kicked the fucking shit out of you bitches last time you got mouthy? touch the rhineland and we'll kick the shit out of you like we do wetbacks n' chinamen, ya dig?" hitler did what he did calculating on a complete american disinterest in anything more immediate than getting their fuck on - a whole lot has changed in 70 years, no? half the reason our modern conservative generation bangs its cock against the bar-top and worships "the greatest generation" is b/c it has no interest in putting forth that kind of effort itself, or of learning its fore-father's fuckup. so long as your powers of denial operate in all places and in all times
