Always thought he was a fruitcake. Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!! OK, now this is odd...I shit you not I had a *NIGHTMARE* last night that I somehow got an apple computer. I think it's cause I've been at work late the past week (and, thus, sitting at the computer that whole time) that I am having computer dreams, but it was quite disconcerting. Say what you say about macs and PCs, but I am just relating what I had in a dream, I can't control it! I was swearing at the thing and was ashamed I had it, and nothing was compatible and I didn't want anybody to find out. Bizzare...

Looks like a moderate sized cascade dump, whats the deal? I guess that's probably storm of the century size for CO, eh?

i dont smoke crack Well, yeah, neither do I. "a hooker and some crack" is a twisted figure of speech I have I suppose.

throw in a hooker and some crack and you got a deal.

Hey, c'mon, somebody buy this. it's a good shell for a good price. I need a new cam or two, and you need a jacket. Everybody wins.

I'll take your word for it.

Hmm, trask...I think that makes me a gun fan now.

Yeah, nothin' quite like grabbin a big ass handfun of devil's club.

HAHAHHA.... jon and timmy are playing with Dru. He hit 10,000 earlier today while you weren't watching cc.com. That teaches you to leave the computer.

Szyjakowski, you rule, those captions kick ass!

To add fuel to the fire, I'm sick of hearing about how america is bent on greed and money and america wants this and america wants that. What the fuck ever. Every other country in this world is fucked up and hates every body else too. For the most part they are more hateful then some claim we are. The muslims claim we are anti-muslim and they are peaceful. Shut the fuck up. If we left that part of the world alone it would degrade into a shitspewing hellhole of violence much worse than what is there today. I'm a peaceful person, much like most of the people in the world and the other anti-war folks. I, however am also a realist and realize that codling and trying to befriend everybody doesn't fucking work. Playing nice with shitheads and hoping they'll cooperate doesn't always work. Guys like Osama and Saddam and the rest of them will do what they will do no matter what our actions or motives are. If it wasn't us, it would be somebody else. Some people are evil and that's the end of it. There come a time where you have to say "some people are going to get hurt, but in the long run more people will be better off" and that's how it works. If it didn't work that way, we'd just be an everybody for themselves anarchy. I dream of the day where the entire world works in peace and everybody is prosporous, but WAKE UP people, that's a long way off. It's going to take more than political change, it's going to take socialogical and physiological change. We aren't a very evolved species in many regards, and until we become one, the only thing we can look out for is #1. As as a part of this society, I'm gonna have to get behind the guy who is going to protect me, plain and simple. DISCLAIMER: Do I think that GWB is the guy to protect me? No, in this case I don't, but I'm speaking towards the need to use military solutions to horrible problems in the general sense. Being against bush is one thing but being a pascifist (sp?) in this world isn't the way to survive.

NEWS FLASH: I'm becoming a hermit.

OK, this will be my last post on this (I hope) cause arguing about which shitty plastic $30 LED headlamp is better is about as pointless as can be. They both do about the same damn thing. I do, however, have to take issue with this one comment. Being able to change the angle of the light and simply moving the source of light are entirely different.

BD makes some gread headlamps I think. Most of them are too heavy for my taste, but they seem to be good stuff.

Last I had heard, snafflehound was beckey's general term for rodentia you find in the alpine. I've used the term to refer to marmots, mice, squirrls, and this huge scary fat rat I saw on the summit of Eldorado in the middle of the night once.

Cause I started this fucking thread and I'll post whatever the hell spray on it I feel like.

-Exposed on/off switch is going to turn on in your pack. Whatever, the tikka's on/off switch is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen. Most of the ones I've used require herculean strength to turn on, which might sound great, but it's a PITA wiht a glove on. I've never had the aurora turn on in my pack. Perhaps that's because I'm not a dumbass and don't pack it beneath everything. I could just as easily come up with some contrived scenario about how the tikka switch could be turned on as I could for the aurora. -Way higher warranty return rate than the Tikka. (like 5 to 1 at least) First, I'd like to see more than just your personal experience. Second, the aurora came out much later than the tikka, my guess is they've fixed any potential problems. I've never had one problem and don't know anybody who has. -More expensive. When I got my aurora it was $24.95. I guess now it's $29.95. The tikka is $28.95. Yay, one fucking dollar. for $34.95 you can have the zipka, but I dont know why you'd want that. -Stupid flashing modes. Yes, I hate this, but they are easily avoided. -Nice hinge to break. Hello!? bueller!? You ever tried using it. Actually being able to aim the damn thing is a huge benifit. that's the chief reason I hate the tikka. The cheap little ion even has an aimable beam. Also, the hinge won't break, it's a simple "bushing" that slides inside other plastic, with a metal screw and nut attaching it. I had it loosen once but you just tighten the screw a bit.

LOL...I'll be mighty proud if I can start a battle over which cheap ass 3 oz headlamp is better.

OK, please argue this... My aurora is brighter than everybody's tikka I have climbed with. Two former tikka users have switched after climbing with me and being pissed at their tikkas. the aurura has 3 settings so you can use low light to cook and hang out in tent and save your batteries. And, again, it's way cheaper.

the princeton aurora is a better headlamp than the tikka too. And cheaper.

erik v. iain is shaping up to be one of the great bouts in history. The scoreboard just keeps bouncing back and forth like a fat girl's boobs.

The other voice in my head told me to wake up. Oh...I'm so confused...

Whoa...SCARY...
