Well, I suppose I'm off topic now that we're all about dogs, but back on page 1 where Raindawg chastised our original poster for asking for crowds, I'd like to point out that wet side crags like Index benefit from higher traffic, and if things aren't climbed regularly, they disappear back into the slime. That place needs more people on more routes if you ask me. Tried any of those face routes on the right side of Private Idaho lately? Bolts look kind of funny in moss carpets.

She's just from New York, they all sound like that.

Watch the clip! He's been banned, and banned men tell no tales (or start any threads)

Kev, remember that board you used to belong to but got banned from? Bfgn2lOSx6M

just for you Sobo.

Hugh, please stay where you are. Our representatives will be by shortly to pick you up.

Liam Neeson and Edward Norton played racist characters who underwent redemption and transcendence in the course of their respective films. Would you say the message of those movies is anti-semitic? Sure, Gary Busey is an actor, and the beliefs of the characters he plays do not necessarily reflect his personal feelings, but to sign on for a project like this: "In a new Turkish movie, "Kurtlar Vadisi - Irak" ("Valley of the Wolves--Iraq") U.S. soldiers are portrayed as brutal murderers who "kill dozens of innocent people with random machine gun fire, shoot the groom in the head, and drag those left alive to Abu Ghraib prison - where a Jewish doctor cuts out their organs, which he sells to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv," according to AP. Gary Busey plays the Jewish-American doctor." where in fact the very purpose is to demonstrate how demonic and evil Jews and Americans are, is a questionable choice at best. I think Bill's point is how curious for you, who take umbrage at any disparagement of your religious tradition, would embrace the fuzzy spiritual ramblings of an actor who has no problems taking money to spread a blatantly anti-semitic message.

I love you too, but it tickles when you blow smoke there.

Hey, you know what they say, Love It Or Leave It.

looking good for today

Absolutely, though the 60% chance of thunderstorms is not super encouraging. I'm dying to go play on the crag. Feel free to call or email for up to the minute reports!

Good question, because it was a decidedly questionable post on my part. No, we don't post porn here, but I saw this on a different climbing site and thought it was so funny, and clearly linked to the recurring Clucking threads, as if the film makers saw the parody and took it seriously, that I just had to toss it out there. Hence the very clear warning, and if anyone had a complaint I was more than willing to take it down. I still think its in questionable taste, and if it hadn't had climbing content or a conceptual link to this thread I wouldn't have done it. If any of the other mods thought I was out of line, I'd most certainly have heard about it, so I don't think it passed due to any "protected status" I may enjoy. If it offends you Pink, let me know and by all means I'll disappear it.

Real change, big change, bold change qKIWciWHG3g

You could also walk off around the left end of the cliff and skip the rap entirely. Watch for snakes. We did that line on Saturday, it was pretty damned fun. It's kind of nice that the top of The Bend is not peppered with chain rap stations.

Hey RuMR, can I change your title to DILF? Please?

It's not about being conservative, it's about respect. This thread is funny and all, but I completely understand Fairweather's point, it was my initial reaction as well.

Lifter-Puller's Fiestas and Fiascos is the brilliant story arc of Nighclub Dwight and the Nice Nice, a Jersey drug bar.

So does anyone know more info about this place (Off??) Sent a PM to JY and MF but no response. Anyone got their email address to try and get more info? Nope, I know nothing, though you could PM Lucky here, he's likely to be in the know. Makes me curious though. The Columbia Granite Quarry south of Rainier used to be an area before they restarted quarrying, but those routes are all blasted to flinders now, yours for just $25 per ton. I bet the small Eatonville area is on the Mashel River, parking up at the curve at the top of the hill headed towards MRNP from Eatonville? Seems like I saw a couple pictures somewhere somewhen...

Yeah, this confirms what I was thinking when I opened the envelope and was looking at it. They initially approached me via phone and I told them I never donate money over the phone (true) and could they send me something in writing. Makes sense: an extra layer of bureaucracy, even if legit, just spends some of that money on their infrastructure rather than putting it to the use I want it to go to. Thanks all.

What, and the French have no homeless people?

There's a decent wind sheltered bivy at the end of the hand traverse, a pitch before the Gendarme, but I don't think you'd fit a tent.

I had a come on for donations from Washington Search and Rescue Association, a part of NWSAR which claims to support SAR groups. Is this outfit legit and familiar to people? According to the Sec of State this is a new group, so there's no track record from 2007, and I know there was a pretty fradulent "fundraising" group awhile back. Anyway, my company is game to kick some money towards SAR, but I want to make sure it goes to the right place, and I figured you folks would have the skinny on the best way to do that.

Gea Phipps was someone I used to know around Olympia, she's the one who took the actual whipper in that opening scene. It's funny, because when it comes to the fall she's looking right into the camera and it's really obvious she's not the actress, but I think the fall itself just blows that observation out of most folks minds.

and let me just say thank God CNN took the time to give us the details in bullet form. That's because they've outsourced reporting to Laos and bullet points are easier for ESL reporters.
