Haven't you figured out that diplomacy doesn't work with this guy? How do you practice diplomacy with a pathological liar? Okay, I'm not in a position to certify Saddam as pathological. However, he has proven that we cannot take him at his word; diplomacy relies on a certain amount of trust that both parties will honor what is agreed to. Do we let him continue to stonewall us while he moves his weapons factories? How long do we wait when experts say that he is between 4-12 months from a workable bomb?

Nobody seems to mind that we saved the Jews from all but extinction at the hands of your favorite democratic leader Adolf and his buddy Heinrich. Should we have let "the rest of the world be damned" then? Should we let a KNOWN SUPPORTER OF TERRORISTS continue to develop weapons of mass destruction? Should we be appeasers and preach "peace in our time"? Even Chamberlain saw that he was wrong in the end. I swore to myself that I wouldn't get back into this topic, but really, how long to you continue to trust someone after they repeated lie to you? Greg W

TG- Any snow over in the Blues? Or the Strawberry Mountain area?

That article's brevity and simplicity speak volumes about what incredible acheivements Goran undertook. "He rode his bike to Kathmandu, climbed Everest, and rode home"(paraphrase). Sounds like he biked down to the park to shoot some hoops. Cheers to an amazing adventurer Greg W

Are we going to put tape on our helmets with our screennames on them and wear them around the campsite? who wears helmets? (duh!) how about we ladies just put the tape on our asses since we know that's where you guys'll be looking anyway. From what I hear, you've got plenty of room to fit 'THELAWGODDESS' in big bold letters. Oh, and helmets are what we wear in the mountains, honey.

Peter Puffer, I mean Puget: Thank you, but I am happily married (going on 1 week and 2 days now) to a great girl.

Don't know if that was pertinent, but it was funny Mr. Natural.

quote: Originally posted by Dwayner: What a sad and pathetic way for one of the world's greatest and most original athletes to go. Bicycle from Sweden to the summit of Everest and back (along with a long list of other amazing accomplishments) and then die on a miserable choss-crag in eastern Washington! Oy! Yet another reason to hate Vantage.- Dwayner Dwayner - Thanks for establishing yourself as a prick once again. Where I hold no love for the climbing area at Vantage, that is immaterial. Goran apparently died enjoying a sport that he loves, climbing. How pathetic is it to die doing something that you gain such enjoyment and personal fulfillment from, as Goran surely did? Piss off, Dwayner. My condolences to Goran's family and to Erden as well. Greg W

Isn't a smaller ozone "hole" a good thing?

Beck, I'm just not getting the message you're trying to convey. What are you trying to say? Greg W

No real news on www.everestnews.com other than to say that Goran died. Sounds like they will have additional news as it comes in.

I could probably make up some good shit, if that would make you feel better.

quote: Originally posted by Mr. Natural: I think my dog could take Trask unless he was carrying. Trask has been known to dope Milk-bones with Rohypnol, so watch out.

S.A. #1 (female) was not responding to S.A. #2 (male) and his bravado-style come-on. That's all I'm saying. SK may have more beta on what happened after I left.

quote: Originally posted by iain: Have you no respect for human life? As you may, or may not, know humans are not in danger when Trask has one of his "episodes." I would advise that AA & Mr. Natural leave their dogs at home to avoid any trauma to the dogs and/or a relapse by Trask. Trask is currently medicated.

I witnessed an attempt at an Adventure Date, but it was a one-sided affair as Single Adventurer #1 wasn't buying Single Adventurer#2's line of shit.

True, but there were a bunch more dudes, too.

Not sure about the archeologists; I'll keep you updated. I think the treasurehunting to date has been a bit heavy-handed for true scientific archeology. They found an artificial beach that had been constructed over fabricated feeder channels and kept clear with a layer of coconut matting to act as a sort of filter fabric. Enough archeology has been done in the pit to document the disturbed layers and the foreign matters in the pit.

I was wondering the same thing, but thought I would limit my harassment to pointing out that Lambone is pussy-whipped. Actually, that was a Tim Eyman initiative. Didn't you see it? It was Initiative IV5.9A3; it was on the ballot. GregW
