Yeah, but you weren't a part of the original Putsch, so you'll be passed over. Better than ending it on a night of long knives..... Actually, members of the original putsch (most members of the original Brownshirts organization, or SA) WERE slain in the night of the long knives. Gee, it's really cool how much you know about Nazi history! I think so, too.

I'm surprised you can see anything with Trask's balls bouncing off your chin nightly.

They pour it back over ice to make you think you are getting a lot more than you are, for one. For two, it keeps it cold when you leave the shop. I think it's all really just showmanship; most baristas are pretty clueless.

Fuck yeah!!! Good idea, eri-cunt.

It strikes me as odd that Jonny Ashcroft is out stumping up support and trying to make us all feel good about the Patriot Act. Many of you may feel the same, but my thought is: "If it is such good legislation, why do they feel the need to make all this effort to convince us that it IS good legislation? Should it be able to stand on its own merit? And if it can't, doesn't that tell you something?" Discuss, stir the pot, feed the fear and hate...as always we must follow the dictum of Warell Dane and "...feed the truth into the engines of hate." Greg_W

Figured jon's real last name was "Ashcroft".

or be liebacking, fall, and have the weight of your rack make you fall upside down. i got a bump on my head from just such a fall last week. ouch. (my helmet was being held hostage in a friend's car from a previous outing.) Can't you just put all that hair in a bun-type thing? That ought to protect your noggin when you're sans helmet.

Well, if you'd stop stealing them and leaving skid marks I could spend more time climbing...ho-bag

Cars don't cause accidents, people do. Hence the advice to "be careful out there", dorkjob. Nice to see that you're extra slow on the uptake today, crotch-sniffer.

Under what circumstances does one use a GriGri to provide a lead belay? In my limited experience, quickly feeding large amounts of slack with a GriGri is not an easy task. When a leader wants slack, they want it now!!! and in those situations a GriGri seems to work against me more than it works with me. I know, and have climbed with, people who use a GriGri to belay a leader. Actually, Erden used one when Goran Kropp killed himself. I don't like them when I'm leading; it seems that what you say is correct: it's a bit tougher to feed rope out quickly. I'm tall and make some quick, long moves and have felt the tug of my belayer not being able to keep up.

I don't want my lack of response to be taken as lack of ability to back up what I say, but I don't have my information at hand.

I'll see what I can do.

Is he back from Russia? I miss that little Scottish pixie.

Answer your own question and provide your own data if you want to discuss this in a reasonable manner. Your post has no meaning other than to apply an uneducated smear on legitimate information I am trying to communicate. Greg_W

Thanks for the love, sweetcake.

You want me to PM you on Wednesday, or climb in the afternoon on Wednesday? I'm confused. Is this a test? Time? I have an engagement at 5:30.

There is definitely a leftward slant when it comes to reporting about guns, Matt. Take, as an example, the recent "news story" that was FAKED by CNN regarding the effects of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban (thanks for nothing, Bill Clinton); I can try and send you a link. Also, you never hear POSITIVE stories about guns being used to protect innocent people or prevent crimes, but these things happen on a regular basis throughout our country. It has been estimated that about 2 million potential crimes are thwarted each year by citizens exercising their right to keep and bear arms. My two cents. Greg_W

Anybody game? C'mon you unemployed bastards or college student wankers. PM me or call, 206.218.8256. I'm interested in free-soloing anything 4th class and aiding 5.9 (like they used to do). Just kidding, really...no, really, I'm kidding. Why are you looking at me like that? Wha? C'mon, man, I can climb. No, really, I can. Ask around. Greg_W

Cars don't cause accidents, people do.

With this quality of teachers in our schools today, no wonder the children don't learn shit.

Love ya, sisu.

THank you. Now eat my ass, polesmoker.
