Not to mention the fact that you can have handguns from Brazil, Austria, and Bulgaria, and still only have to know English!!!

Hehehe...I hear ya. Besides, I've never been able to picture you in dark pants, white shirt & tie ( ) with a backpack, knocking on doors with a "texplorer" nametag on.

I always pegged you for a Mormon.

You have shown us all how narrow-minded you are, Greg Not that that is news You don't know me, dipshit. Don't assume that you do.

Now here's a serious subject. Not some panty-waste "favorite butt-pirate boulder problem" thread. I've had some fine tequila post-climb and it goes down well. Many prefer beer. Others prefer whiskey. There are a few teatotalers that I know. What's YOUR poison?

Is this fucking serious? Get a fucking life. "Favorite boulder problem?" Now I've heard of everything. Are we going to discuss the merits of chalk bag size next?

Lame, lame, lame.... Sheesh, people, who fucking cares. I think the Mountaineers are stupid, but who fucking cares? As individuals (I know many of you are sheep, that's okay), we will gravitate towards the learning style and group dynamic that works for each of us. The Mountaineers have their place, apparently, and they serve a purpose (more than just to clog routes like the "South Arete" on SEWS) for some people. I don't remember why this thread was started, and I don't give a fuck; all this "they're great"..."they suck" bullshit is stupid. Like 'em, don't like 'em; reserve the right to bitch about them, fine. Personally, I would not join the fucking Mounties if you paid me; but that's me. Make up your own fucking minds. Look to the Washington Alpine Club; I hear they have a much better dynamic and aren't so Hitler Youth-esque. Let's move on to something important, like whether or not Mounties are allowed to come to the Rope Up. Bwahahahaha!!!!!!

Grow up, loser. make me No, you make me make you.

BD ATC is pretty basic, and that's why I like it. For bringing up a second, I prefer a Munter hitch; especially if I think they might have trouble. This is a GREAT knot, and it is stronger (more friction) than an ATC. As long as you keep the strands parallel, you won't have kinking/twisting problems (a smaller diameter rope helps with this, as well). Greg_W (Latin American Diplomat Extraordinaire)

Grow up, loser.

She actually sings this with the accompaniment of a small banjo; it's sorta scary. Greg- you're violating that old rule that says, "what happens in the mountains stays in the mountains." The ukelele is only brought out on special occasions. Can't trust you with anything can I? Oops, sorry. Minx joined in so fluidly on the bongos that I figured this was something you guys did regularly for other people, as well.

Actually, are eroding the infrastructure which is bein artificially shored up by a puppet, pro-communist rebel faction. Our policy in this region is that those who desire self-government and free elections should be allowed to exercise those rights.

I think you are right on, dude. I always remind myself that rappeling is THE most dangerous activity I do. That way I triple check everything before I do it.

HE WILL ALSO DISTRIBUTE SHOULDER FIRED ANTI AIRCRAFT MISSILES TO "FREEDOM FIGHTERS" WHO WILL LATER USE THEM AGAINST US. Only in an effort to free American hostages in a foreign, belligerent power.

Current diplomatic theory suggests that the best way to interact and spread American friendliness is to drive around in an armored Chevy Suburban with blacked out windows and an entourage of 5 or 6 other Chevy Suburbans. I really think that this will help me in my diplomatic outreach. Plus, I'll be armed to the teeth.

General court martial and firing squad.

Hey, we speak fucking Ameri-can here, boy!!!

Hey, representing our government and this great country is serious business. It's no laughing matter.

I was just informed that I passed my Foreign Service Boards and am eligible for overseas embassy work. It looks like I may be doing diplomatic work in Latin America early in 2004.

Have camcorder, will travel...

Doesn't 'RP' stand for Rock Protection?

If you feel the need to buy a gun safe, I encourage you, wholeheartedly, to do so. No governmental body has the right to dictate that I should buy one. I prefer to reach under the mattress and be cocked, locked, and ready to rock, at a moment's notice.

I'm happy where I'm at, thank you. I've been to Northern Idaho, Central Indiana and parts of Texas (where the Klan is alive and well in both places), and I prefer it right here in good old Seattle.
