nice - much better than "flanders fields" - i teach that one every year too, though not on v-day

change I can believe in

wasn't the 11th hour this here mornign though william?

"the first world war came and it went the reason for fighting i never did get but i learned to accept it, accept it w/ pride and you don't count the dead when god's on your side" as for the war to end all wars, i think plato had something astute to say about that. done talked w/ my vet dad already 2day - my grandpa's gone - and my little bro for some reason couldn't get to the phone over in i-rack

when i'm 64?

When is right? Who is Spain? Why is Hitler? Hi-ho beriberi! questions i insist on asking at each and every staff meeting best name for a character in the history of literature? nately's whore? major major major major? milo minderbender?

sssshhh! not so loud! if the the real climbers hear i'm a spray-lord, they might stop talking to me!

perhaps the rapture has come? would explain why i'm still here...

my favorite obscure literary reference that no one ever seems to pick up on: where are the snowdens of yesteryear?

how many trails have you been on in the n cascades that didn't have 5 billion trees down on them?

kinda like making a king-sized thick ass feather bed out of a whole squadron of bald eagles? actually, that'd be a whole lot more worth it!

the "arena of terror" on the far southwest side shown below was perhaps the result of one previous tunnel being blasted? it certainly is shaped like a big crater. they may also be the entrances to the secret rebel base or the freaking laser

yes and yes maybe pony loaf is one of those great southernisms i learnt up on as a knee-high? i remember "road-apples" being a classic synonym for the same.

sweet - i was in on the kill! no doubt he'll return as the zombie-KKK though - only head-shots can prevent this regretable phenomenom

well, i am at least MALE

perhaps the location of the secret rebel base?

i can't imagine how you'd be kept off the TJ trail once there's snow on the whole thing

actually, perfect conditions can be had this time of year, but it's probably been too warm and dry lately - at any rate, the access change has certainly precluded much recon it woudl appear - sure would like to hear anything - i'm hoping to pay it a visit over my t-giving break

I musta missed another theatrical gem. Help me out with this one, ivan. What are you talking about here? uh, jon lovitz is in the video fairweather posted? don't know the movie, but no matter, anything that he appears in is instantly transformed to pony-loaf as for the divorce thang, i have zero emotional investment in either of the fools involved, and if i had any preference, it would be merely for them to stay together and continue torturing hte shit out of each other for my own sick amusement (and the related fact that it'll make me look better by comparision to my own mrs.!)

springtime for hitler! [video:youtube]

jon lovitz totally shoulda been on board w/ jon denver - if he gotta talked jon bon jovi on board that'd have been even better!

jay, is there in a fact a species of female out there that gets as moist as may-rain when you quote engels to them on command? "if'n you can't dazzle'em w/ brilliance, baffle'em w/ bullshit!"

rereading the gems in this thread while my wife tells me about a dipshit friend of her's recently deciding to divorce her husband for no goddamn good reason reminded me this thread really needs the following: [video:youtube]

hey now - no need for the "you guys" bit - i said i could deal w/ as is (even looking for a partner for tomorrow - interested?) - are you seriously letting kev razz you? i warrant even his young'n's learned better by now, eh kev? you know there's no way in hell he's going anywhere near this route in the next decade and probalby just enjoys seeing you get worked up over it. that said, no sense in having an emotional attachmetn to a couple pieces of skanky rock that only get touched a couple times a decade - if i heard someone had gone up there and the shit had blown out on them, my first reaction wouldn't be "oh what dipshits they must be" and berte them but rather, "no suprise there - how long was that waiting to happen?" and ask them if they were okay. that panel is no national treasure, and the route would still be climbable, one way or the other, no matter what.

fairweather is a big meanie
