The gist is that you should not forget that this isn't some virtual campfire, but a very public and reasonably durable forum where your words will linger and be read by far more people than actually post here, for many different reasons. Protect yourself by not saying anything you wouldn't say at a large party where some cop standing in the nearby clump of people might be casually eavesdropping on your conversation. Oh, and use condoms too. Putting them on your ears prevents hearing aids.

Central nervous system depressants are best left to those who are done leading their blocks. The Ashland drunk tank is off route.

What, you don't have enough chuffers over there?

It's a grade IV, can be done in a day by a strong team, but some parties may bivouac. Getting more specific would require more information about equipment, experience, ethics, and attitude.

cross board pollination in-joke noted

I'm pretty sure this is RumR's doing

A good failure is far superior to not attempting. Glad you had an incredible year

I just wanted to share the disturbing image this phrase brought to mind. Probably not safe for uptight workplaces

Naw, he's just out to lunch. Actually, now that Fairweather has deserted the camp, I suspect PP's just losing heart.

I dunno, I've never had a hard time ignoring people whining and crying about posters who aren't here.

Well, maybe if the judges are all male and like cheesecake as much as Knotzen. Hey, are your shots scanned from slides? I've always loved that black border that declares "this is the full frame."

Distel style photo assault. There are bolts in every picture.

Luke loves the slabby stuff.

Rappelling

Sorry AK, I beg to differ: a bivy is different from a forced bivy. One can plan to bivy, and it can be rather enjoyable. A forced bivy can be rather unpleasant, but not always. Of course, sometimes people plan a rather spartan bivy that more closely resembles the poorly accessorised forced variety, and some people take their Rasta bivy kit with them everywhere just in case.

I love a good straight man response to a wisecrack.

It's none of the peaks/areas Dru listed, except perhaps made up. The style is that romanticized western landscape stuff, probably supposed to be montana or wyoming or something like that. Can anyone spot a trapper with a pack train, or a lone mounted indian in profile gazing into the distance? The flying snaffle is much cooler, though it is still a rodent.

Well, I know you miss climbing, I just didn't want you to miss being flipped shit about climbing.

You must need to be wearing Luke's magic glasses Seriously though, what is with the pad, I thought all those Newhalem routes were "safe."

Afternoon drinking is so charming. I'd appreciate it if you two would take your tussle to spray.

When I was a kid I put a bobby pin into an outlet. I did have a clue though, I used the kind I could hold with the little pearl at the bend.

Hey, say what you want about his farm animal tastes, the guy has masterful footwork! Luuuuke, come back to the dark side. When you coming home?
