football's fun to get liquored up n' pissed off to - but it don't mean shit, and ain't worth an iota of emotion over. i played it all the way through high school but it's weak, weak shit compared to climbing... ...i found it slightly harder to cut the cord w/ baseball though.

oct 8 works for me - the other requirments for the smiff tuff love traditionally seem to be getting terminal gravity and tim-may! on board... might help if it had it's own thread...

jesus, josh, when the fuck did you get infected w/ the sickness that made you think football matters? it must be the coors talking...

i think the smiff thang has always, compared to the more regimented l-worth rope-up, been a more sponantaneous and hip trip - we don't get rei sponsorships and generators - we just get piss drunk in a great big grassy field w/ cow skulls, drink beer n' smoke cheeba in the pouring rain while fire-dancing, and climb sick tuff in-between bouts of uncontrollable vomiting during the daylight hours i reckon the stars'll align sometime in october

psuedo-death route good explanationof the objective dangers of the route - you do make it sound much more reasonable.

it's all part of our plan to bring freedom and democracy to the Red Planet

holy shit! why did global warming have to fuck everything up so much? that area used to look way cooler! wish i'd been born a long time ago...but camelots had already been invented too.

what w/ all the screaming and stress around my house these days since my daughter was born, i find myself soloing a lot more... i have noticed though that occasionally i feel more "gripped" at cruxy places, in part because of a feeling of being on the verge of fucking up a bunch of serious responsibilities

well, 57% of the luisianians who actually got off their asses voted for him for starters

it's time for everyone to take their medication everyone congragulates these two hardmen on their accomplishment. some additionallly wish to have a conversation about levels of acceptable risk - what the fuck else are we gonna do, we're at work and it's a bulletin board? doing it in the other thread's a good idea though...

crazy schedule? it's midweek,usually, and just in the evenign whenever you can show - come winter we're always doing it int he dark anyway... nolse, i can start back up this coming week - now that's scool's here it'll have to suffice for my clibing fix during the week

If it keeps on rainin', the levee's goin' to break, When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay. Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan, Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home, Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well. Don't it make you feel bad When you're tryin' to find your way home, You don't know which way to go? If you're goin' down South They got no work to do, If you don't know about Chicago. Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good, When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. All last night sat on the levee and moaned, Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home. Going, going to Chicago... Going to Chicago... Sorry but I can't take you... Going down... going down now... going down....

story?

well, the average american weighs about as much as 100 brown people! what the hell's so unusual about people thinking that shit that's happening in their community is more important than what's happened anywhere else? seems like human nature to me...

it'll be rolling round here as soon as the sky starts shitting endless quantities of water - after we get hard at the butte we can move over to nolse's uber-secret projects in the gorge!

oleg, you crazy bastard, don't do expeditions w/ total stangers! find a goofy-fuck friend and get 'em fired up... i't trade you - if you go cragging w/ me this weekend, i'll let you lead all the hard ice pitches on denali

i got a day to crag anywhere w/n 200 miles of pdx before school sets in - anyone looking for fun but feeling lonely....?

sick. insert vomiting emoticon here.

bummer - well i suppose nailing college chicks is more honorable then spraying in front of a roomfull of homo climbers anyway...

i ain't coming unless the great joshk is gon' be in attendance, and he better be in his dainty, pretty-boy boots too!

wow, like josh said, if ya'll were where i think you were i remember looking down there last month and thinking "what kind of a fool would put himself there?" huge icefall scouring the rock w/ nasty death and fuckall you can do about it if you're in the firing line. still, i'm sure ya'll enjoyed yourself and its great you pulled it off - i think i'll stick to the bushes though!

ah, the beauty of the point n' shoot disposable camera, eh? actually i'd cajoled my wife into giving me her expensive digital job when sky rolled in w/ his brand new super light guy - he was like a kid on christmas morning figuring it out on the drive up. i felt like issac newton getting to teach him how to use the zoom feature on the summit! we got a bunch more pics, but the one i put up was the money shot. there's 20 more or so in my gallery if you're interested - their all super big too as sky, in learning the new program to go w/ the camera, deleted all his originals, requiring me to post them here so he could get him back....ha! physicists!

any of you regular fools wanna do a day of climbing out at beacon or some other suitably fantastic local crag this 3 day weekend? one last chance to drown my returnign to work sorrows - i'd be game for a smiff pilgramge too...

dude, i wasn't ragging on you - i got no problem calling shit for how it is. i've lived in the south for most of my life and that's why i left - it blows goats. actually the occasional hurricane is the coolest thing that every happens there.

Ah yes. Angry liberal anti-southern dogma finally rears its ugly head. I knew it wouldn't take too long. folks, is this guy really as stupid as he comes off as? i'm from the south bitch, and i'd just as rather gouge yer eyes out n' skoalfukya as 'plain to you the irony that me, a liberal (which historically just meant that you believed all folks oughta have representation in the political system (THE HORROR!), can get so worked up over your stupid duck-quacking as to want to put my own principles aside and give you what you want, crucifixation zulu-style, w/ stakes pounded up your ass so you get a sense of the taste of your own medicine. what are your southern credentials? who the fuck cares anyway? assholes live everywhere - you should know... i'm w/ josh - i love a good human disaster story. next i wanna see seatac get buried in 50 feet of lahars - take pictures for me please so i have somethign to jerk off to 'fore i go to blissful sleep.
