my boy scout troop lost a kid at the brandenburg gate in communist east berlin while visiting there in 1984 - we didn't even realize until the krauts were doing the head-count at checkpoint charlie

magic 8-ball says..... "ask again later"

hood looked fantastically mean today from pdx - the whole moutain was fuzzy from all the wind raging around it - woulda loved to have been at the summit in a very big puffy jacket

singing while i'm swinging elvis was a hero to most said elvis was a hero to most but he never meant nothing to me fucker was racist strait up and plain motherfuck him and john wayne! ready ta go 'cuz i'm hyped and i'm amped most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

sounds like you had a good time - what more can you want?

oughta be clear, dry and cold as neptune's cock - enjoy!

whoa, der's a fun day done! started murky n' dripping - shut down 15 ft off the ground attemting to get to stepphenwulf - slugged it up the corner to jills instead - quite the herd embracing The Suck today (dan, shawn, ? did lil'wing to fearoffly'n and jim eventually showed to set up a homeless shelter at the base - dave poked his head out momentarily too) the good news - everything dried off today the bad - it's now 33 degress and hOWLing oughta be a great monday for those fools too terpain to be timid

don't know if anyone read/remembered this story, but it's much kewler! http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1198815908196810.xml&coll=7&thispage=1

mawkish mortal! heresy! dread beacon - dry or dripping! summit or death!

2morrow - the next round - dryness after today's piggly-wiggly-half-hard-snow-storm - ken'll be there as always - who else? think it's a stephenwulf day!

well - so long as you're going to do your first ascent in winter might as well do it by the willis wall! don't forget your snowboard! actually, if you can make it stop snowing for months on end i'll go w/ you...

snafflehundus rex! ave snafflehundus morituri te salutamus! ave!

now that's a stimulus package

i think mickey of mickey n' mallory said it best: "badasses don't die"

i love it when the 800 lb gorilla cries about the 90-lb-soaking-wet-faggot-boy fucking w/ him

awesome - wish i could have gone. wonder if beckey's eventual cermemony will involve chanting? a great casting of mcdonalds napkins and ketchup-packets into the air? ahhh, saturday - a good day to die!

slacker start!

omfg, do i just spend 5 minutes watching that - hmm 4:52 - yeah...

don't worry bill - it's still early enough you can pass out now and be rage'n'for act 2 in a few hours!

john, you actually gon' be there? would be rad...but surely there must be ice in SOMEWHERE in N America?!?

'dos bitches got nuttin' on charlton heston!

joe, do you have a clif-notes version of the above? i couldn't bring myself to read all of it, but i assume it has the logical statement in there somewhere that bitchign about the birds is like bitching about the weather - i just wish the climbing at the ozone was more similiar to beacon - i didn't feel right at all making the transition last spring...

no such creature exists - this time of year one must suffer in order to get the privilege to suffer more on a route - that said, once bott tracks get put into lake colchuck/stuart area, that approach isn't too bad

how about poverty and an acknowledged lack of training w/ one too?
