funny, that's what i was doing y-day as i watched kev gear up

the '70s version of the film w/ john-boy from the waltons did a better job of doing just those things i recall - somehow putting it in color made the lack of reality of the battle scenes worse - the black and white's more artsy, plus in the original they really did just blow the living shit out of several acres of hollywood great find on the picture pat - that's exactly it, and you can't be for any war and not have to wear those fucking glasses at least a little bit

ether is the perfect drug for las vegas

i teach a "history of war" class to a bunch of teenage boys who adore war - i think of that movie often and try to kick that round-glass wearing teacher-dude from the film in the balls daily w/ my mad routine the best parts are the first 10 minutes and the section that traces the "cursed boots"

Yer not the only one. Now I have a cute little "moodie", but no avatar. me too! whah!

thanks for the work by the way

mike's always reminded me more of kevin bacon...maybe it's his tendency to break into ecstatic dance when in one of his "fevers"

they definitely freak me out - like i can't read every other line

your last name is hoover

19. You can't climb as well as me or climb so well you make me look bad

holy shit - we have a head-bang'n emoticon now?!? :rocken:

niiiiice! adventure!

ah, but could it then crawl all the way back up the hill and throw itself right back down again? and all while spouting an untranslatable slurry of stoneresque ski-slang?

bunny from "platoon?"

i really don't like these cams - every time i've carried one of a friends on my rack they've broken (always the trigger wires, prior to placing, usually discovered when in a damn awkward, scary place)

how's the road to cloud cap currently?

awww - it don't even look hard from there!

pdx is a long way from the north, but the afterwork/fall crag of beacon is damned hard to beat - create alpine training conditions today too - dry n' blustery as all hell

i am the descendant of ancestors who built this country by doing whatever the fuck it was they felt like doing - how can i betray my heritage now?!?

only for grandma (w/o a powered go-cart)...

fun day today! man, got my ass whaled on by the 2nd pitch of wrong gull - took all the big boy cams to feel like a real hard-man, but shit it takes more than that what a strange feature - detached dish lipped free standing pillar - needed a damn near 9 inch piece? all funky beyond the lip, nothing to lie back on - was worried shitless i was going to grotescly dislocate myself if i fell - it was wider than my goddamn foot is long! whaaaaa! enjoyed the 1,2,3 - jump! experience. well, at least you can escape left into a crack, much cleaner now! breezy 2day - next time i go to beacon i need to bring a damn kite

should be nice n' frosty to start w/ emailed a friend of mine who's looking to climb at beacon today after biking out there from camas, joe, check your mail

how about hyperspace on snow-creek wall? i was retarded for doing it, but there's a nightmare squeeze chimney on it - complete w/ bramble bushes n' belay slaying blocks! even staying on route through the lower part of the pressure chamber is damned difficult chimney-ish bullshit

It's all Bush's fault. naw, bush is georgia's fault! and ohio's, come to think of it...

yup - man, i remember doing that bowl in the bone-dry days of august and being mildly freaked by the total lack of protection - doing that in the soaking wet? yoowza!
