Kev, you need a daddysaddle!

Oh, I'm sure we all appreciated the opportunity to get up on our high horses and pontificate, thanks for the Monday entertainment. No hard feelings I hope.

He's just lucky he didn't post a TR on NWHikers.

Falcon nest on the ledge: current thread Lisa_D's excellent photo. Spread the word, folks should stay off that climb and avoid the ledge.

Well, I went climbing at Fossil on Sunday and there were a ton of people there. What's with that, don't they know it's despicable choss and no one should like that place? I'm pretty sure there were some Mounties in the woodpile too, not to mention some military sorts. I guess I didn't have to wait for anything, I climbed until I couldn't hold on anymore, and everyone was insufferably pleasant and easy going, but still, I just want to complain in this important thread!

I dunno Dru, that would be a strong ticket and 37% of Americans would be likely to vote for it...

Non consensual is non consensual, though my sympathy for the rape victim is lessened by his robbery attempt. Some people are really into that power disparity as sexual fetish, but then that's consensual, isn't it?

Well, why wouldn't anyone want to sell tainted fish if they thought they could get away with it?

Hmmm, I just did a little shallow reading on the subject, which seems to be a DHS report about potential growth in right wing extremist groups, including the suggestion that they may recruit from within the ranks of returning veterans, as well as the suggestion that the personal suffering our recession is causing might create fertile ground for xenophobes intent on blaming "the other." Sounds to me like if you think Napolitano called you a right wing extremist, you probably are one.

Made me curious, so I looked it up. Though hardly the pinnacle of truth, Wikipedia states: so I guess I'd go with "insulting." I'm a little out of the loop, when did Janet Napolitano declare that the US military was a far right extremist group? They're certainly not radical right in the libertarian sense, the individual is nowhere near the center, Army Of One ad campaigns notwithstanding, and it seems that military personnel don't have full constitutional rights.

Do you think "right wing extremist" is insulting or descriptive?

I made too much money last year but used it all to pay off debt. At least the dirt is soft where I filled in that hole, so it won't be too hard to dig myself back in a little bit. April really is the cruelest month, at least for the self-employed in a somewhat down economy: Federal income tax First Quarter estimated tax payment 1st half Property Taxes Quarterly Sales Tax Quarterly State Unemployment Quarterly State L&I insurance 1st Quarter Federal Unemployment I suppose I could play pirate and go make a withdrawl from the 7-11, but I'm sort of incarceration averse. May though, I'm going to the Valley, so it all evens out.

Nope, just haven't been paying attention, been paying taxes instead.

you are being lied to about pirates

I'm pretty sure no one wants to come between you and your self gratification DH.

Gimme a few more years, I'll be Antique White.

Between your knee and my fascistitis it might be a wash. ;-) Whoah, you're finally admitting that you're a fascist?

You're the bear, Porter, totally savage and humble as vanilla pudding. BTW, they found a polar bear's jawbone in the shark's stomach.

Once we get in shape from this manly contest, maybe Minnesotaclimbing wants a rematch, eh? Chaps won't know what hit him.

Uhm, guys? We're not in spray, so lets not be such grandstanding yahoos, okay? The OP had a legitimate question, points to all ya'll who give sincere answers.

Being a dumbass climber is just like masturbation: you've either done it or you're a liar.

Yeah, I'm a little fuzzy on the specifics as well, I'm just repeating what John told me. I know there were attorneys and process servers involved, but it seems like guidebooks always piggyback on information from prior guides. I'll seek clarification.

You know it's getting ugly when the varmints and the vermin interbreed to produce varmen. At least, as with mules, it's not a fertile hybrid.

Thanks for that Dru, a thoroughly worthwhile timewaster.

Really? I haven't kept up with currency exchange, I think I still have $2.20 to the Pound stuck in my head.
