I see so perhaps there are days when the freeways are backed up in Seattle where no one in an suv in that traffic jam is actually commuting? You have once again entered the MtnGoat zone where nothing is as it seems and the "is the chair really there?" arguements come out. As usual you will have the last stupid word in these pointless debates that usually degrade to crap about syntax or references, but I'm through

So you rationalize decisions based on what a 5 year old would do? I for one thought it was cool you were willing to consider alternatives. There's no finger-pointing on my part, I just want to stay alive on the ride home, etc, etc, etc.

Silence goat! You're acting like the Iraqi Information Minister on this one...

why people have become conditioned to hate SUV drivers? as a bike commuter my answer would be I'm more likely to have a bad experience with them (they don't see me, they do see me but cut me off, they are on the phone so don't signal on turns, etc) based on day-to-day experience. Don't ask me why this is linked to the suv, but I can almost guarantee it is more likely to happen if the driver is in an suv. I believe the drive of the many suv purchases is the same force that promotes this crap behavior. I feel safe so I can tune out stuff. So yeah it's my business what you drive. You could kill me.

That's the undeniable truth right there. Check out the Frontline documentary on the SUV myth. That body plan was never meant to cruise on pavement at highway speeds and it shows. There was even a coverup scandal with the Bronco II.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

this is a great thread keep em coming

you control those cams? cool!

I think the guy to the left behind him is more amusing

please stop advertising the 3 sisters to all these portlanders

not sure about the legality of selling stuff on a .org domain name either

the funniest stuff is sharing pictures with my parents. they freak when they see photos of me at smith but when I show them photos of the clemenceau icefields in canada in a whiteout or something they're all happy and relaxed, "oh how fun that looks"

mountaineers?

that site's still up?

this thread is a classic but I didn't really need to relive the dookie animation

why did you get another belay device

that lawson character's a genius!

the casings for the tomahawk cruise missile are dried seal skin.

please refer to my post above, scatologist

"fool me once...shame on....shame on you....fool me....we don't get fooled again..." - GWB (followed by blank stares from press corps, mouths open)

or the creaking of webbing as it sets when you weight it starting a really big rappel.

sometimes followed by the low thwumpthwumpthwump of a blackhawk in the distance. that fluttering rock sound is terrifying

that looks like scat with a label 'round it

it's the most important meal of the day after all.

I do enjoy a good feces debate. bring it.
