My favorite (to a leader well above his first or second piece): "Can I have all your shit if you crater and die?" hehehe

tele; Once again, thanks for your insights into a world many of us will never know or see. As someone I consider my friend, your presence over there brings the impacts of the events in Iraq a little closer to home for me. Stay safe, there are people here at home who worry for your safety and wish peace of mind on your loved ones while you are away. 'Til we climb together again, brother. Greg_W

Regarding R&D and Givler's, these require gear belays. A concern to address is his ability to construct a good anchor when reaching his belay. This would be my only concern with him climbing these routes; I know he's strong enough to pull the moves.

Isn't there a "Get over your anger at the whole fukin world" step?

Well said, indeed. Kudos to you, Will. Let's hoist a few in Fairbanks in May, if you are still there. Greg_W

Did my laundry the other day. Pipe down, shortstack.

If you responded to my PM, I can't read it 'cause of the whatever is wrong. I'm rescinding my offer, sorry I spoke too soon. Greg_W

Come on over and do my laundry, then, bitch!

I'm happy with it. Mind your own fucking business.

Actually, most get 15mpg. So that's 80 gallons of gas ... $240. And you can fit 4 people with gear in one of those rigs... so you're down to $60 a person. That's totally affordable to all but the poorest of dirtbags. (not to mention that gas prices will not be $3 a gallon this summer you alarmist jackass.) Mine gets 17-18 on the highway full of gear. Besides, gas prices always go up right before the summer vacation. Why is this a surprise/issue? Doolittle is just looking for something to stir the pot with.

Only difference is that with the proper application of Jaegermeister, Squid can downrate that 5.13 to a fun 5.4 romp.

Gee, and I thought you "personal ad" request for climbing partners was a new low. Oops, wrong again.

I haven't gotten an e-mail telling me I've got a ticket. Are they planning on sending out notices by Friday, or something?

At least you don't look like a Christmas tree when you get to the belay anymore.

Yup Yup!!

It sounds wonderful!!! Who wouldn't want such an Eden to call home?

You may never know No, actually, I'm positive I'll never know, sugar.

Start the list...

It's my birthday? What did I get? Something cool, I hope. I know my new Palm Pilot is on a UPS truck on its way to my house, but I bought that for myself. Oooooh, I'm so excited!!!!!!!

GOWANS CANNOT VOTE!! HE IS NOT A CITIZEN, THUS, HE MUST SIMPLY RANT AND SHAKE HIS FISTS. MEANWHILE, HE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES OF THIS COUNTRY WHICH HE CANNOT FIND IN HIS OWN.

You're a misinformed pompous ass Greg! Are you claiming that the U.S. brought democracy to Europe? No, the martial law thing. As we liberated Europe, the rear areas were placed under martial law until local governance could be established/re-established. This coming from a guy who's people were subjugated by the British of all people.

You're, uh, taping that last Friends episode for me, right?

Presumably, the area is under some sort of curfew and/or military martial law simply to stabilize the area. If this were the case, then the command structure has protocols to follow as far as limiting gatherings and demonstrations in an effort to maintain order. Peaceful or no, large masses of people are hard to maintain and can get out of control rather easily. It's easy to armchair quarterback from the safety of you pathetic cubicle, but take the long view: stability needs to be achieved first, then democracy. We did the same thing in Europe in '45.
