Sure, I'm interested in the photos when you get a chance.

Okay okay okay, I'll move this mess to Spray.

Sorry dude, but I already smoked it.

"Family Values" is almost always defined by what you're against.

Nice moody picture of Steinbok. Speedway looks fun, was that a two hour outing this time around? I love that foonting stuff.

thanks for the disclaimer.

You always schedule this while I'm out of town for some exotic climbing vacation! This year I'll be in Red Rocks that weekend.

Clan Palin, a long running political oligarchy, doesn't need a public handout, they're rich enough to take care of their own bastards. They humbly suggest that if you want help with your own unfortunate premature breeding event you take a taste of their boot heel. It's fully congruent with the dominant Republican subtext "fuck you, what have you done for me lately" paradigm, no hypocrisy required.

This is what a leaf blower is really intended for! Well, and cleaning out your rain gutters too...

Buzz off pseudo-mormo-utah-boy, I dibsed that back when you were in junior high school. You'll find a faded bit of red tat at the base staking my claim, I'll get back to it shortly. I haven't seen a pic of the NE Face on Fortress in dry conditions like that, I can't hardly pick out the route I did back in the hob nails and hemp rope era, which only had three pitches of rock then snow to the top. I might have to paw through the paper bags of old slides and see what I can find.

Whoa, Pamela Anderson's naked breasts! NSFW!!

Yeah, I hate the fucking VA medical system too, just give those damned veteran commie pricks $100 a month and let them buy their own insurance on the open market.

I really love the ending profile picture of The Smirker as he "approves" his ads.

Yeah, better to elect the sleazy adulterous plane crashing senile party suck up boy.

I'll make a jaunt down for this. If any Olympia folks wanna carpool with me that'd be great. I had a really great time climbing at Ozone this spring.

Yup, it's more than a little bit wet out here.

Oh, I got a handle on all yoo guyz lil puppet games.

Fairweather, which one of the bill of rights is about privacy? What makes you think you have any? So much information about you is gathered every day, collated, traded, and sold to the highest bidder. Who are you worried about knowing your health history? The government? Hell, the insurance industry knows all about you and your health history, and I don't trust those folks very much. Control? Hey, you're free to have any medical procedure you want to pay for (well, except assisted suicide), but if you want your health insurance to pay for it you don't really have all that much control now, do you? If you want to fight "socialized medicine" does that mean you want to do away with the veterans health care system and completely dismantle medicare? Maybe you should lobby John McCain to go public with this agenda.

Yeah, that resort just before Electric City, Sun Banks maybe? Anyway, I think they're like a c note a day, not a real bargain.

What, FW didn't come back to dispute your evidence?

That's pretty damned outrageous. An expensive risky rescue because the three other partners didn't want to care for their injured member? I want their names, I think we need an International Do-Not-Climb-With database. Also, those SPOT thingys don't sound like a very good idea at all.

Nah, I think you were just drifting and I was following your pitch. I don't think you and I are in substantial disagreement about the importance of the former republics or Russia's intentions. I think the EU needs to step up to the plate, Georgia is going to wind up in their sphere of influence and certainly dreams of membership, and the US needs to back up the EU. Our hands are a little full right now, but this is a very important situation. Economic strangulation via oil & gas pricing isn't bringing Georgia to heel so the Bear is kicking it up a notch to see how that flies. Not that I'm all that well informed, most of my knowledge comes from the Georgia chapter of Parag Khanna's book "The Second World." Links to other analysis ya'll might be aware of would be appreciated.
