Check out Marmot in Bellevue; they have some small diameter ropes on sale. Some Edelweiss present.

I made the approach to the Index Lower Town Wall and back to my car in about 6 minutes.

It's all about that right now, in this thread. I was trying to make a point. sk's motorcycle anecdote was just as poignant as yours, byotch! Just a bit of thread creep that you started; granted, your point was marginally a propos. Her story added additional credence to yours, so bite off. Greg W

Isn't Larson still wearing that tracking ankle bracelet from his parole officer? Just had to make something up as an excuse to post a tribute to an 80's hair-metal band The Scorpions:

I want to join NWhikers.com so I can be soooooooooooo superior. What a bunch of dicks. Greg W

You must have been really lonely that week or not getting any because the cougar seemed to like it Sorry, wasn't me. Are you sure that wasn't the homoerotic fantasy you were role-playing with Trask this weekend?

I climbed up a gulley on pre-placed scree and boulders this weekend. Is that a grey-point? Greg W

Everyone's got a skill. Apparently, I have two: that cool handpuppet and the ability to speak whatever language that was. Nice bit Trask. Trask, I thought you didn't post on weekends because your boyfriend's vaseline ruins your keyboard!.

quote: Originally posted by Matt: You are dillusional if you think our foreign policy towards Afghanistan in the 80s and 90s was really that influential in winning the Cold War. We were never pro-Afghanistan, just anit-Soviet-- your typical knee jerk reactive instead of proactive foreign policy. You are also fooling yourself if you thought it was ever a possibilty that the Soviet Union would invade Europe. That was never a possiblity. Never. It was our pure economic might that toppled the Soviet Union. Captialism baby. Not military subterfuge. Yes, our military built up forced the Soviets to spend their limited resources on weapons too, weakening them further. Matt, you're painting things with a broad brush, here. Our support of the Afghans was a product of the Truman Doctrine of combatting the spread of communism (same reason we went to Korea and Viet Nam); so it wasn't a "knee-jerk foreign policy move", as you put it. The key word you missed from Mike's comment on the Soviet's move into Western Europe is "could". The USSR had the capability and manpower to roll across Europe; there's no debate on that. Armies have to take into consideration what an opponent CAN do; that's part of their job. Besides, you can't say NEVER you don't have all the information. "Pure economic might", true but that's a bit simplified. Gorbachev lost the staring contests in Geneva and Rekjavik. He realized that Reagan was serious about pursuing SDI and, furthermore, he knew we had the capability to develop it. Gorbachev realized that we had a lot more money to spend on weapons than he did, bottom line. It was Reagan's steadfastness to his beliefs and principles that forced Gorby's hand. Greg W

Hard salami's are pretty good and are usually spicier, summer sausages are okay, but mellower tasting. TLG, with the nature of your recent topics, are you lacking in the physical intimacy department? TLG says, "i've had horsecock on many occasion ... and i've found that not all of them taste the same. some are yummy as shit ... but some just taste like shit." Reminds me of a joke: How can you tell if your boyfriend is gay? His dick tastes like shit. Sorry couldn't resist. Greg W

Had the Vanilla Bean last weekend and it is tasty. Also, there's a berry flavor that was good. If I was Trask I'd add: "I've got some gu for ya, baby!!"

His previous statement was based upon conversations with actual humans who had been in the service but were not bloodthirsty psychopaths. Enjoy your tenure as cannon fodder to further some corporate-sponsored tyrant's agenda, captain bullets. Human life is human life, regardless of whose flag is flying over the head of said life. Think about it. Shut the fuck up, asshole.

quote: Originally posted by allison: SUVs are pretty much just minivans with better outfits. I hate those people too, and not just because I could make better use of all of that wasted ground clearance. This is not necessarily so; most SUV's are built on a related truck chassis, making them more safe in a collision than a minivan which is basically built on an outgrowth of the unibody car "frame." (whew, that was a long-ass sentence.) Sounds like you've bought into the liberal scheme of class-envy, Allison, way to go. Greg W
