saw ya'll at illum gap - looks like a very fun run - maybe some life i'll learn to ski...

a lebowski-esque reply would have been best: "well...that's like, your opinion, man" thompson certainly was more enjoyable reading

"Remember: keep the right wing strong." -Alfred Graf von Schlieffen

mine too, but usually b/c she's carrying a sharp knife or heavy, blunt object

i'm sure i gotta be the 300th guy to have made this observation, but at least it's original - for effect, you gotta read it w/ a jewish accent, no? "so, his wife's name is silda spitzer - hmmm, why would he want to cheat on such a pretty wife? could it be BECAUSE she's a spitzer?"

i'd have loved to have seen buckley and hunter thompson in the same roof - jesus-fuck! tell me that had to have happened at some point?

most of the panegyrics i read of buckley last week were still honest enough to admit buckley supported mccarthy and opposed civil rights and never apologized up to the day of his death for holding those patently wrong views, so it's not like a man's a wack-o for pointing out w/ a cartoon that buckley had elements of his personality that were bigoted, elitest and/or fascist. that said, noam chomsky is as close as the left gets to the kool-aid drinkers...

this one time i climbed w/ this guy, and i like wouldn't shut up the whole time....

all the easy routes on the volcanoes should still be in good shape then - i'd recommend starting on something that doesn't feature glaciers, so hood's s side and adam's s side are good choices. KK's list above has other good things for you.

won't need the space suit after we build up an atmosphere beyotch!

I don't think it is possible to make a point for prostitution without denigrating women. what about the sorta prostitution that this feller goes in for?

i'm thinking the scale will be hard to get past CO2I 2, given that you'll only weigh 38% of what you do on earth (assuming you don't veg out on munchies the whole way there)

the erudite application of the vernacular of the peasantry is an act of preternatural fucking eloquence, assface!

I started in 1980, FW, but you go ahead and do the math however you want to there, lil' pup. so that's like what, 2 or 3 jovian years then, eh?

yeah, but it's kinda like a car wreck - it's ugly and stupid but ya sorta wanna see some blood and if any of the two aggrieved parties actually are going to start whaling on each other w/ tire irons

that wouldn't make sense, kev - extending the road over the cliff would make it MORE curvy, which they're trying to reduce. if they mess w/ the road there at all it would likely be to shove it further inland, which would make me sad if it took out the totally eccentric "the columbia gorge has gone to the dogs" sign (a tad ironic as well) - this might increase the walk to the crag by 30 seconds though and certainly climbing at the zone might be off-limits during the likely lenghty amount of time they spend actually doing the work on the road

omfg, you mean the swiss miss ads are a lie!?! truly, a great quote to have at one's fingertips

how about in a milk maid's hayloft?

feel free to use it, but guys on bikes are more likely to have these kinda toys w/ them too, eh? please take pictures of any gang-battles, whether the chicks present consent or not

reminds me of lincoln's quote, saying that, if the USA were to become a country where we said "all men are created equal" but then made exceptions for women, blacks and catholics, that he'd rather "emigrate to some land where they make no pretense of loving liberty; to russia for example, where despotism can be had in its pure form, without the base alloy of hypocrisy" sounds like lincoln wouldn't have liked modern china as his getaway...but then he wasn't a climber.

...TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION IS IN?

dru brought the rain back!

looks like something from The Wall

you gotta have hobbies if you wanna stay happy

seems like it'd have taken a lot less time to just paint a big target on the roof instead - i gotta imagine it has about the same effect
