Now, now. Let's not be mean to one another!

Probably so. Who can afford to simply bestow hand-drying agents and light comestibles on the climbing community at large? Clearly a case for the ever-useful stolen items!

Convenient excuse. Don't let the clubhouse door hit you in the ass on the way out!

That screen shot images was clearly manipulated with some kind of photo editing software. You're disqualified from the tourney, you shameless rascal!

Nice one, Mr. Cynical. Perhaps they shouldn't give away food, either, since it makes you poop at the park? Anyway, it's on May 10th, and registration starts that morning at the ungodly and character-building hour of 8 a.m. Be there or be a four-sided geometric figure with equal-length sides connected at 90-degree angles.

The vomiting during the dancing bit was top-shelf!

Trask, can't you be nice for once, you shitsucking ass-weaselfuck? Jeez, man!

Well now that is just rude.

Hey y'all - Perhaps you're familiar with the Spring Thing at Smith Rock. If you climb at Smith often and enjoy flat belays, erosion-control terracing, stairs, and other conveniences but are unfamiliar with the Spring Thing, perhaps this is the year to familiarize yourself. Us (we?) climbers have a big impact on the park, and this is an opportunity to help mitigate that impact. Before participating in the ST a few years ago, DFA had assumed that the park service installed and maintained all the trails and erosion-control stuff, but a hefty percentage of it is done by climbers at the Spring Thing. This is an excellent opportunity to give some back, and the pride of ownership one gets from working on the park greatly adds to the appreciation of the place, as well as encouraging a more proactive stewardship type of attitude year 'round. It's also pretty fun, as you get to wield sharp and/or heavy tools, haul rocks around, and play in the dirt like the adolescent hooligan you know you are. There is usually some free booty when you show up in the morning such as Clif Bars, chalk, coffee, sporty drinks, and assorted knick-knacks. Then, after slaving all day and getting choice blisters, you are treated to a fat buffet-style chow-down, free beer (bring your own to supplement, as it goes fast), a benefit raffle for the Access Fund and further work at Smith with a ton of prizes, and some slide show action. An excellent way to cap off a good day of doing good things, a fine way to meet people, and a great experience overall.

Horoshy malchik!

Awww, that's cute! That could explain the matching luggage, too.

Isn't that snow?

Spoken like a true Dr. Flash Amazing doppelganger. Throw in a few references to prescription drugs and PBR, and adopt an air of haughty disdain for everyone and everything, and you're set!

Mmmm ... Spaaaaanawaaaayyyy!

Fuck, that monorail thing makes DFA motion sick. Awful, just friggin' awful. And OW is dead-on about the commercials. When the Doctor and the Mrs. went to see 'The Two Towers', there was a good 20 minutes of adverts and previews beforehand. That's after sitting through all the still ads before they cue up the film, of course.

That's what the rock tells you if you listen closely. Dru says Fred is the exception! Dru also goes on and on about giant squid ...

Orange stars, yellow moons, pink hearts, and green clovers?

Roos!

Cool. The Wallnuts were one of the less pricey nuts out there, if the Doctor recalls correctly. Duly noted.

The Kongs are probably the same as the ABCs, yeah? Aren't they all from the same Korean slave-labor manufacturing plant? Kong, CAMP, ABC, and Climb-Axe? Oh, and after scouring the 'net yesterday for slung hexes, the WC Rockcentrics came up. Anybody have any exp. with those? Also, what's the beef with wired hexes? DFA would assume the cable gets in the way in some placements? Or is it 'cause the cable levers them out of placements?

Thanks, chucK. Someone needs to keep tabs on that poor Iain. Perhaps you could call him every morning and remind him to tie his shoes, too. DFA has lost count of the number of times he's seen Iain go pedaling away from his house only to get his shoelaces sucked into his chainrings and wrapped around his cranks, sending him careening headlong into some immovable object. It's kind of sad, really.

Well, at least that's one redeeming quality. But R&I reported last month that he chipped Realization down to .12c so he could send it on his birthday, which is a definite no-no.

As Trask's most beloved avatar, Dr. Flash Amazing would consider no other course of action but to defend the noble and beer-scented Trask. Of course, given that "Ms." Fox is also an avatar of Trask, perhaps such defense is not needed, but if you're going to get one avatar in the game, you might as well trot them all out for some field time.

Yer pitcher ain't displayin', playa.
