kk, did you never ride the cheese? damn near the closest thing to thunderdome in the western world. bus drivers get paid absolute shit and aren't exactly lining up for work - can you even imagine how shitty that job is, 60 some odd kids, you're back to them, not a damn thing for them to do but figure out how to make your life a living hell? hate crimes laws are stupid and i can't imagine you'd belive in them in the first place.

i've never tried getting in from the stephenwulf anchor area but it would probably go - it doens't much matter though - to the hordes it loks like a pain in the ass, so they don't mess w/ it - all the climbs above rr/lao are stiff though, and i think the local wankers have their hands full enough w/ the shit that's easy to access

i'm sorry, can you use a larger picture?

i don't see the big deal getting up to this area... that's cuz yer a real rawk climber yer typical god-fearing beaconite likes his pro always close at hand and the climbing positive and solid feeling - i like rr/lao, but most folks think it looks gross.

not that dude's was authentic samurai sword, but the ancient quality test from old nippon was that the sword's edge be sharp enough so that a silk hankerchief dropped onto it would cut itself in half

did the first pitch of FT w/ mike last weekend - it's stupid dirty and inconcievable to me as a free climb in any condition, really, but certainly not the current one - it was harder than i remembered to french free and i'll bring an aider next time i think - the stretch just below the bolt really befuddled me, and the tiny nut i used broke a large chunk of critical stone required to get there - the second pitch still needs an aid lead to clean and probably swap the anchor - doing anythign saturday?

it was a joke, maaaaaan, and i thought it was funny. in fact, i'm still chuckling. hahahahaaahaaa. sumtimes i'm not so good at the intrewubs

Because driving a truck isn't the same as driving a couch. is arch driving a truck or doing work that would be dangerous under the influence?

as many as you want, but they probably won't work afterwards?

my thoughts exactly.

for pts 1-3 i have but this to say: [video:youtube]

99% of coders must be smoking crack - at least that's how it seems from the shit I've seen over the years.

b/c the right to privacy is a joke?

ninjas are moon-lighting samurai

evolution is reaaaaaal slow, esse - it will be thousands of years before the instinct to kill trespassers goes away - some of us evolve slower than others i'll warrant - congrats on ascending to the 9th level of nirvana already! Be sure to let us know when you ascend to the level beyond Reader's Digest-style bio-determinism. Though I'm sure the kids love being able justify each and every one of their "shit where they eat" social behaviors on such "solid" scientific foundations. hey, great, you've got it all figured out - i'm sure the rest of the world is right behind you. here's a fun extract from the ancient laws of rome, the "12 Tables" - this is table 2, law 4: "Where anyone commits a theft by night, and having been caught in the act is killed, he is legally killed" i'll check, but i'm pretty sure our american legal code has some slight basis in the roman - reckon that evolution has some room to grow law 6 we have outgrown, (kinda): "If anyone commits a theft during the day, and is caught in the act, he shall be scourged, and given up as a slave to the person against whom the theft was committed. If he who perpetrated the theft is a slave, he shall be beaten with rods and hurled from the Tarpeian Rock. If he is under the age of puberty, the Prætor shall decide whether he shall be scourged, and surrendered by way of reparation for the injury." law 7 does attempt to introduce the niceties of the modern world, that you can't just kill 8-ball in your house unless you were threatened, and only after you've attempted to get help: "When any persons commit a theft during the day and in the light, whether they be freemen or slaves, of full age or minors, and attempt to defend themselves with weapons, or with any kind of implements; and the party against whom the violence is committed raises the cry of thief, and calls upon other persons, if any are present, to come to his assistance; and this is done, and the thieves are killed by him in the defence of his person and property, it is legal, and no liability attaches to the homicide." seriously, watch tv for more than 10 minutes, read a paper, take a stroll through the mall - do you really think we've quit being romans? that the romans themselves had really quit being cavemen? why you so down on the cavemen to begin w/, eh?

telling people what is and is not american doesn't strike me as being particularily american, but then i am very tall, which probably isn't so american either man, i need to go punch an american flag in the face!

you're such a fucking pussy wait, i thought he was an evil communist who wanted to kill all the honest red-blooded americans in their sleep?

side note, i saw a psychologist's study some years ago about people's behaviors in parking lots - he found that, on average, drivers take almost twice as long to vacate a parking space when another car is waiting to take the spot - his theory is that the caveman brain was at work in that situation, and that having staked a claim to object, the caveman was hesitant to relinquish it w/o a show of strength

Or when we hear rustling in the detached garages of our rented flophouses. the psychology is the same - our brains are hardwired to defend our shit - the caveman brain percieves his shitty rental house no different from his neandertahl home - i don't have enough details to have a meaningful opinon, but what little i do have doesn't make 8ball sound like he's not too different from your standard red-meat eating honkey

i'm pretty positive me n' mike are the only ones to have done FT/FS this season - having to weather local access or reasonable richard make it easy to not set foot on the swallow, FT, the circus, or bss - i'm sure that's the turnoff for most folk, that and the fact that the s side is closed half the godamn year!

i've never had shit stolen from me and not felt like killing the motherfucker who did it this dude won't be missed, but it's not exactly like it'll be a better world if we're all stalking the perimeter each night w/ our kitanas this story is in the news b/c it's an oddity, really nothing else - we're agreed as a general society that, if threatened in our own homes, we have a right to use deadly force - right or wrong, the thief put himself in a stupid position that justly cost him his life - let's move on, shall we?

we all do our best - you done flight time or flying swallow this season? i dig on the circus - i don't mind having 2 #5's for it though

nice. and never trust a junkie, either

explain this to me so kevbone doesnt' have to
