Because spilling blood is the only correct way to solve an international dispute?

Cough syrup binge?

Such a grand sweeping insult, with extra points for talking down to me; I don't think you left anything out of that one... I am crushed. Don't be too crushed. He didn't call you gay or threaten to shoot you, nor did he call into question your masculinity or sociopolitical views. DFA would give it ... oh, say, a 73%. Solid C material, but not too far from slipping off into D territory. Greg, you're capable of better work!

This renaming of things with "french" in their name is one of the dumber things ever. And whattabout French's mustard, people? Freedom's? Ludicrous in the extreme. Freedom technique, freedom free (!), freedom tickler ... Blah.

So you're into the big guys now, huh?

Sly wit -- so that's what you call an inflated ego and a gun? Roger Ebert gave it "two thumbs up, WAY up! I was out of my seat cheering, and then I wet my friggin' pants!"

What? John is dead? Huh?

Someone have a pint of whatever Maritime Pacific beer they're pouring for DFA!

What a goob! And apparently Master Beta is stupid. A plus 2.5 ape is quite run-of-the-mill.

Who knows? Is "pass the pitons pete" anything like Big Wall Pete?

Nonsense! Trask can't run nearly that fast ...

See? THAT'S why people need to drive Ford Exploreditioscursions!

There was one on Ebay for 300 bucks last week. Maybe you can buy that one.

Topple, Powerbitches! 'til then, everybody boycott that Powerbar crap (as if anybody with half a brain in their noggin eats them anyway)!

Well, if we could rival the Brits for confusing grading, that'd be ideal.

Hey, wiseguy, Master Beta said 7 inches, not cm's. And anyway, he seems trustworthy on matters of chippage. Who d'you suppose it is, anyway? He sounds like John Sherman, or maybe Matt Samet writing like John Sherman. Fool needs to drop the third person business, as DFA has been slingin' that slop for years. And did you hear? R&I is bringing in this Dr. Piton character, who apparently sprays in other corners of the internet. Fake-ass crabs!

We need to come up with a new designation for chipped routes. A1 isn't really accurate. On one hand, you are using something artificial for progress, but since it's still your burliness holding you on and not a bunch of widgets, it's not quite the same. Perhaps a C before the rating, e.g. "Rouhling's route is C5.15b." Unfortunately, C is already used for clean aid, A (as in artificial) is already used for aid, M (as in manufactured) is already used for mixed. Anyone? Anyone?

Climbing's crotchety spraylord/advice columnist Master Beta recently decried Rouhling's route (Akira) as being a drillfest, specifically, a route custom-drilled to his plus-seven ape index, adding that this is "Rouhling's wingnut signature on all his routes" (paraphrase). He's the baguettes-and-cheese version of the mighty Joe Brooks, except he hasn't quit climbing yet. Bugger that wank!

Ah, yes; like the clap.

Recent investigation about cams on Metolius' website indicates that unless the cam lobes have really grievous wear, i.e. they're out of round, or if the lobes move a lot on the axle, indicating that the holes for the axle are ovaled out, you're probably in good shape. Barring other obvious structural damage such as frayed cables, etc.

Gracious, but you're a crude fellow! Heavens!

I could definitely "use an extra 50 or 100 grand". I've has an attorney send a cease&desist letter, and recieved a terse response. It's litigate, not negotiate. But litigation is a complicated decision, and what's right, or wrong, isn't the only contributing factor. The parent corporation of the offending company has annual revenues of $50 billion. Bringing a lawsuit could cost me $200,000, or more. What's the risk/benefit ratio? As my father told me, life is hard. The father of one of DFA's friends owns a cleaning products company called 'Clean-Up', and he went through some similar business when Clorox came out with a product called 'Clean-Up'. He got it worked out so Clorox either paid him a lump sum for use of the name, or they pay him every time they sell some, the Doctor can't recall which.

Garbage in, garbage out, etc.

Trask, you are proficient at insulting people. Please have a nice day!
