Matt, you should read "Mistakes Were Made (but not by me)", an excellent book on cognitive dissonance. All will become clear.

Unless Mike is writing for Stratfor, this is not his work. unattributed source An interesting read though, thanks for posting it Serenity. Here's another forecast for the future, an article from the New York Times Magazine back in January by Parag Kahanna, entitled "Waving Goodbye to Hegemony." It's a long feature article, so I'll just post a link rather than the full text.

Baseless maybe, but no attack is meaningless

Absolutely. Nice meeting you on Saturday.

Have you ever smelled moth balls? Did you hold him by his feet or his wings?

Thanks for the tip Arch. Down south, in Centralia, is La Tarrasca. The family comes from Michoacan, they have a limited menu, but Mama's recipes are killer, and the Chile Relleno is so good it convinced my 14 year old daughter that she likes them. That'd be exit 81, turn left, stay right, on your left, for those on the I-5 circuit.

Pee Bottle? Better to develop what Willi Unsoeld used to refer to as a "Himalayan bladder." Friend of mine had a pee bottle in his VW van back when you could live in the Yosemite Lodge parking lot. A couple of valley rats noticed his accommodation, you can guess what his nickname that summer was.

Nope. Nice to see you, j_b.

indeed, embedding is disabled on that song too. What's with that? There were a couple other versions of that Social D song on youtube, but the sound sort of sucked.

I've never eaten there, but that's pretty funny. Its a sure bet that I'll order the Panang at any Thai restaurant that has it, just like I'll usually order the Chile Relleno: one of those dishes by which to judge the establishment.

Self destruction grabbed you again, eh Fairweather? vyCERZBxv5Y

I have a pretty little pic of her but was yanked off the site..... Because the subject of the photo asked you to remove it, and you didn't, so a moderator had to step in. Dickcheese.

Um, yes. He actually spoke like an adult to other adults. Quite refreshing, actually. And it's only frigging March. A lot of shit can happen between now and Nov. I find that I agree with KK. Obama's speech on race was well done, and the general election is still a long ways off.

Comment like that calls for a Goatse-esque image!

When enduring an unplanned bivy, sleep with your helmet on. It will keep you from bashing your head on adjacent rocks during bouts of uncontrollable shivering.

you should do this and clip the bite to your rap/belay loop...keeps you on lead, protected by the last piece while you thread the anchor! Exactly, and be really clear with the belayer so they never take you off belay.

Wide, I assume.

The lunch crowd set goes soft, when Georgette plays a goth!

Awww Mark, sounds like you're really missing your little buddy.

And, just for Pope & Pink, heeerres Zappa!

Though it was KK himself who deepened my appreciation of Metallica, in fine form here!

Unless it's Stevie Ray!

There can only be one God, Clapton. This solo is a MUST SEE

There's three routes down along the water there, easily approached by heading up and over a saddle beyond Bono (the 5.8 everyone does) and down a gully. That left most route, Aqualine, was my fave of those three. I thought traversing in was a fair bit harder than 4th class. The other two are worth doing as well. I'd bring some gear for the top of the middle one. All in the 5.9 range.

Only Dolphin Chimney I'm familiar with is the one on SEWS.
