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.

Oh, don't get me started on that cannibal cult. Body of Christ, bleccch!

I've done the rap version and it's not all that charming. Oh, the rappel is fine, and the pitch out of the gully offers some entertainment, but the upper park is loose and gravelly, only go that way if it's getting dark and you aren't going to summit. There's a swell two person bivy just after the hand traverse, about a pitch before the Gendarme. It's a good alternative to a notch bivy on the first day if you've got some day left. Approach shoes might be fine late season, but boots would be better early. When I took my son up there for his first alpine climb, it was the traverse out of Goat Pass and the snow descent from the false summit shoulder that worried me on the climb. We had poor runouts and his cheesy goodwill boots were sloppy as hell, and there just wasn't much help I could provide aside from kicking steps. If you really only lead 5.8 you might be happier bringing rock shoes rather than just climbing in your Trango's, you'll move faster and feel more secure on the ridge proper. It's a fine outing, you'll have a great time.

What, you've never wanted to give Troutdale a good shelling?

Next time you come out to Tenino I'll see if I can slow you down with some of these...

I think that's pretty much the story Dru. There's another one in the parking area of the quarry just south of Tenino on the way out to the freeway. They found it in the alluvial gravel quarry, took their two largest loaders to move it. It's perhaps 12' tall, has maybe a dozen problems on it? I haven't tried climbing on it since that quarry changed hands. Jimmy, dollars to donuts says that's out by Fossil...

Prosecute everyone who was in charge and approved of torture.

I always had a soft spot for The Cramps, now Lux has gone and checked out. Sad, but you can't say he didn't live the life he wanted. Obit w/tons of video [video:youtube]

You guys routinely put on some great shows, I wish I didn't live so far away.

You're a different Sisu from the other Sisu that used to hang around here, aren't you?

I hear peanut butter is still banned in Canada too, eh?

I hope you did a nice patch job to complete the work.
