more so than in the past, if you've actually been able to make it to muir this season ya gotz the right to do whatever low-life sleazy shit you can dream up!

why pay to see millioniares? baseball is baseball, and watching high school is just as fun (though aluminimum bats do sound sillier) i find most folks who dislike watching baseball didn't like playing it - i loved the game as a kid - nothing in the world like running down a ball hit to deep center i agree climbing is better - but it's not a team experience really hockey looks like it would have been awesome to play as a kid

I wasnt aware you ever climbed with a rope. you know, the noose i like to tie around my head while soloing the corner? if i fall off the top of the slab i wanna be sure my head gets yanked off before i hit ground, 'cuz that might hurt. the noose must be just right to work.

not climbing, but driving - an anecdote: coming back from beacon rock one sunny afternoon in a most enlightened state of mind, while also sipping a cold frosty one from the elegant skamania market, i got cut off by some jackass pulling out onto 14 in washougal - usually i'm a very aggressive driver, and in an entirely sober state would no doubt have speed up, yelled at the guy, and tried to pass him. instead, i just turned up "kinky reggae" and went back to jam'n. about 30 seconds later, the jackass, now a good 200 yards ahead of me, gets in a near fatal accident. the car in front of him bizarrely decides to cut a u-turn w/o checkign his mirror, and he t-bones it at 50 mph. if i had been sober, i'd have been up there, racing along at 70 or so. as it was, i was able to calmly set my pale ale down while slowly steering my way through the debris cloud, laughing my ass off (not saying my enlightenment makes me a better human being). this kind of thing is very true in the alpine - the weather looks iffy and scary - i'm stoned, i'll be extra cautious at the crag - paranoia - double check knot, gear, shoes, helmet, holds, everything. it certainly doesn't improve my climbing technique though! i've probably ended up welding my feet and hands in cracks more frequently while feeling The Fear.

whoa -what's that about bowling now?!?

wtf? has s.s. not gotten the memo? no one gives a fuck for your bad noise. as a side note, i miss the old post-2000 gore - kinda crazy-eyed unabomber beard-boy - he looked kinda like diabetic chunky al sunday.

love mine - worked like a charm on denali and still use 'em for volcano slogs - they are heavy for sure, but what do you expect out of plastics?

europe doesn't have the same tradition/history of assimilating immigrants as we do- for most of modern history, people have been leaving europe, not immigrating there. i've taught a number of muslim kids, all of whom are thoroughly "american" but whose parents are very parochial and "old world" that said, there will always be maladjusted types - we had our sacco and vanzetti (if you'll pretend to forget for a moment that they were probably innocent)

historically, few first generation immigrants feel like assimilating the values of their host nation - it is their children who do so (assuming they're thrown into the texas death-cage that is public education)

listening to that piece of putrid filth mostly makes me want to listen to talking heads instead

people who are stupid before getting high are usually stupid afterwards too

To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle Dance go rush to the speaker that booms I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom Deadly when I play a dope melody Anything less than the best is a felony Love it or leave it you better gain weight You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play If there was a problem yo I'll solve it Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it following up the PE w/ vanilla ice? jeebus, if that ain't blaspheming i dunna what is...

holy fuck - tramp stamp and muffin top girl - my brain is full for the day - it's 3:09 and time to go home!

Yeah and it ain't $6 a cup either. the one benefit i've found to having kids is using the diaper-bag as stealth beer-fridge ah baseball, hallmark of a simpler time...you have to be an asshole not to like it (which i reckon explains plenty for many of you heretics)

elvis was a hero to most but he never meant nothing to me the sucker was racist straight out and plain mother-fuck him and john wayne ready to go 'cuz i'm hyped and i'm amped most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

white boy rhyme of quality: "i don't mean to brag - i don't mean to boast - but i'm intercontinental when i eat french-toast"

so long as i'm not in the control group

tramp stamp? i must learn this phrase.

this clearly depends on who has the most weed, yes? your friends or the hard-core? dru, i know you know the answer.

welcome to the goddamn terror-dome

good as time as any to repeat how I HATE THE FAWKING NODDER

look up to the skies and
