Not to mention you need a head to drive a warthog.

I thought it was because Americans are losing their sense of irresponsibility, that maybe borrowing all that money based on hypothetical value to live beyond your means may not be sustainable in the long run.

that made me laugh out loud...

Lots of fun to be had down there. Mission Gorge was the squalid little crag I learned to climb at, I loved it fiercely. Santee is amazing bouldering, mostly edging, but you'd do best to have finger calluses that go rat-a-tat-tat when you drum your fingers on the formica table at the mexican restaurant. Woodson is the be all end all of crack bouldering, though in fact lots of things are high enough you'd want a top rope. Boomer Beach offers sandy landings for bouldering on grainy chossy sandstone, but the ambiance is great. El Cajon Mountain mostly got developed after I left, looks to be mostly good sport climbing. There's a newish place, Eagle Mountain I think, that's supposed to be splendid. That's most of the visitor worthy stuff within 40 minutes of downtown, but there's more of course for those obsessed. The whole county is just full of rock, but the chaparral vegetation is comparable to the worst bushwacking the NW. I could cough up some .pdf guidebook stuff if you need it Paul.

Yes, the Tieton is not the climbing area you're looking for, move along now.

[video:youtube] This one's for you, Porter

That's a pretty fascinating and huge photo archive Bob, thanks for that link.

I found some dates for your homies Dawg... And on topic, I'm with the "style matters" crowd, I think how you pull off our essentially trivial pursuit can be a source of both inspiration and entertainment. For me personally though, the bottom line is that survival trumps style.

For some reason, when I saw this picture I thought of Kevbone's assorted guitar threads and felt compelled to share with ya'll Edited to add: John, that vid's a gem, thanks!

While not the biggest fan of pulling plastic, I'd have to say that looks pretty cool, both being outdoors and the overall height would add a lot to the fun quotient.

Tar and feathers was not some sort of hah hah comedic routine, it trumps waterboarding as torture any day, resulting in scarring and disfigurement. It's not like drawing a cock and balls on your drunk buddy's face with a sharpie. Often combined with being ridden on a rail, ie a triangular piece of wood that resulted in genital damage and often an long term inability to walk without pain. Preferable I suppose to being taken out back and shot, but its a vigilante justice sort of thing that has no place in the rule of law. Stupid idea Prole.

I always like it when someone says, "Fuck Off" to which the obvious reply is "Not without permission you don't."

I'm guessing that Bungtar, demon saint of the Interweb, has it in for you. I consulted my CC.com FAQbot and it said, "Reply Hazy, Try Again." I'm not sure if it was talking to me or if that was the answer to your question. If your problem persists, PM Jake Porter, he clearly has too much time on his hands.

That's pretty brilliant Wayne. Oh, and congratulations Mike on just about wrapping up a big project.

Yeah, the taco has it's upsides, but language filtering isn't one of them. I mean, fuck...

I know that Petey, I was just trying to puff up your rep for you! Do you think you could hit the Dihedrals with a wrist rocket? Would that count?

I think all that baseball talk is just smokescreen, the inside dope I heard was that he was putting up some huge mixed route in the Pickets and had revised his will to bequeath a substantial endowment to CC.com. I say we name the new wing of the Moderator party palace after him...

What about that thin couloir on Chiwawa that Colin & Dave did a few years back? TR

Hah, I saw the item in the paper (that's an archaic print news dissemination system for you youngsters out there) back on the day itself and thought, "woo hoo, Dwayner's gonna be posting up." Glad to see you keeping up your end of the bargain, albeit just a few days late. Good post dawg, I'd have to be a total churl to wish your royal alpine buddy any less than many more years to come.

You can also hit up Lucky for info, he's a quasi steward at the place. Drederek has climbed out there quite a bit as well, and I think Jens is pretty familiar to boot. I've only been once but enjoyed it.

Hmmm, looks like another arguable statement

I had the same viewpoint in '68 when I predicted pot would be decriminalized by '72. I had the same viewpoint in '78 when I predicted pot would be legalized by '82. It was already decriminalized (at least in California) but it went the other way, didn't it? Seems silly to me, and I probably smoke about as much pot as Atahosske. from an article in The Olympian yesterday: Trotting out that hoary old "gateway drug" BS and twisting statistics. You know, masturbation is a shared trait among many rapists, maybe we should make that illegal too. What about alcohol and adult cocaine abusers?

[video:youtube] It's all about the commentary...

Don't you mean DuByeBye? Hope that headquarters relocation works out for Halliburton and Dick Cheney enjoys his new residence.
