Its a rare post that makes me laugh out loud, but this one coupled with the new title just did it.

Oh, right, I'm not in spray, am I? If you're offended go ahead and imagine one of those cutesy euphemisms in those f-word slots, or make an official "notify moderator" request and either I or someone else will change them. I don't understand your implied accusations though. Since when have I deleted posts for political views? I'm hardly above the law, either of the legal sort or the website rules, and I'm as subject to moderation as you are. Freedom of speech is a non issue, you're in a private space and you don't have any, though you're given far more leeway than you would in a mall, a newspaper, or a courtroom. Got a problem with that? Here's your coat, here's your hat, what's your hurry?

If you wanna fuck shit up, go join the anarchists in Eugene. While the long term physical damage may be debatable, the stupidity of perceived "leaders" in the climbing community pointlessly fucking with public land managers in the modern era is undeniable.

Well Nolan, what the pics don't show is the big plug in one of her ears, and the new plug in her lip where the center stub is. She also has a scalpel hole at her belly button big enough to put her finger through, and a split tongue. Her attempt to split hubby's tongue didn't work that well, so she'll have to do it again.

Yeah, the Barf Blast! Sounds great, sorta.

Okay, its an old thread revived.... Ahem, Erik? I know you were at the Pearly Gates on Sunday, along with 25 of your best friends.

That's no kind of criteria, I want to see a notary stamp embossed on your witnesses, and a Big Lou seal of approval, or I'm calling bullshit on your 17 minute Mt Si round trip.

What Iain, you don't like "bold, aggressive styling?" Are you sure that is MSN and not The Onion? I can see the ad campaign already: "The NEW Nissan Armada. Because you'll buy anything!" For me, the name certainly first brings to mind the Spanish Armada, which is not something I would think to link a product to. Maybe they should consider changing it to the Waterloo, or the Custer, or Dunkirk.

five single gloves/mittens two waterbottles one stainless steel thermos one helicopter pilot's helmet with microphone bits and pieces of an MSR helmet All on the Eliot Glacier on Mt Hood the weekend after two rope teams fell on the Cooper Spur and slid off the convex slope and down the N. Face, with five deaths. It was pretty creepy. At Darwin Lakes, below Mt Mendel in the Sierras, we found a cache left by a mystery ski club. Candy bars were all three years past expiration, ski wax, books, rotten velveeta, swollen horsecock, extra socks, a gallon of white gas (a blessing since I had broken our glass jelly jar fuel container by throwing small stones at it while stoned) and ziplock bags of dried fruit that had gone to ambrosia. We actually got a buzz eating it.

Yeah, I was thinking of that canyon on the Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz on Rainier, I think it's one of the two you mentioned. I always thought it would be a great shot to rap down off the middle of the bridge spanning the chasm and shoot a few photos. Real slots do take sandstone though, and we don't have the right stuff. I went down Buckskin Gulch on the Paria River years ago, and it was a hoot. I think it has since become rather popular. I believe the Paria empties into the Colorado below the glen canyon dam, and I've been in a slot canyon much farther North (wild horse, lost horse, white horse, something like that) that I'm pretty sure drains into the Green River, so I don't think Szy's geologist's statement is exactly correct.

Every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands The hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand How death or glory becomes just another story How death or glory becomes just another story

These people don't work for Trask. She's gone on a little further too:

Nicely put Tex We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

I think Dryad has it right Homophobes go on my list of annoyances.

Now that makes me a happy guy.

Erik and Tomcat perhaps?

You mean there's going to be a band?

And with a link to the "pooping off a ledge" thread and the "spray" tale therein, the circle would be complete.

MtnGoat, the issue isn't about how people use oil, but about how multinational corporations aquire it. This is not affectable on the absurd retail level policy development you advocate. You don't really believe in it anyway, otherwise your tack on Iraq would be different. Hey, you don't have to buy anything Iraqi, but I don't think its fair for whiners like you to deprive me of my choice to support the Baath party. Given that NO CREDIBLE THREAT has yet to be found with regards to Iraq, how can you deprive the Iraqi people to determine what government they will live under? If they didn't like Saddam Hussein, all they had to do was not buy it. The child labor thing was just an analogy. It follows if you oppose child exploitation, it doesn't make you a hypocrite if you wear clothes and shoes. If you oppose invasion of other countries for control of oil, it doesn't make you a hypocrite to drive to the mountains. Of course, this doesn't mean I endorse the "its all about oil" position. Taking control of the huge oil resource in Iraq is merely a side benefit, much like liberation. I'm of the "its all about empire" position and I think the developing posture towards Syria supports that concept.

What's that Dave, are you trying to impress her with your premature snaffulation? I think you can get some kind of creme to help with that.

Yah, I know Fairweather, jury is still out, but MtnGoat was so quick off the line with the missle news, and the eating crow idea was so appealling (well, in a sick kind of way) that I just couldn't resist. Its entirely possible I'll get my very own spoonful of the dead avian, its just one of those things that goes with having an opinion.

I bet mattp might have a good shot.

Oh, and to drag things back to the original topic here, the apparently non-existent smoking gun nerve gas missles, I think its time you own up and do what you wanted others to do MtnGoat. Here's your snack...
