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.

What, this morning before work?

Nice how whoever created that homage to the damaging misuse of tire irons bracketed the two chubby thugs with their toothpick-like counterparts, arranged in an arc of aggression stemming from the wicked white-trash witch of outer southeast Portland and revolving around -- nay, closing in on -- poor sweet Nancy K. Oh, the horror!

What a dramatic and poignant photo montage! That evil Harding bitch ruined poor Nancy K! RUINED!

Least Trask ain't a ho, if you catch Dr. Flash Amazing's drift.

Stifle it. You're just jealous 'cause you ain't got it with the clubs no more, limpy.

Awww ... that's just precious, isn't it?

19 under par, you funky-ass freaks!

Mid-.10 slabs always feel like solid .11+!

Scott, you're such a tool. Why the FUCK would you possibly think anyone here would want to see that? I really don't understand you man. I think you're really fucked up and sick. Thanks for the review, Trask. DFA will leave that one unviewed.

Pagetop? But of course ...

Thanks, y'all. Good point about cheap nuts and good cams. DFA is usually of the belief that you get what you pay for (even though you usually have to pay too much for it), and would probably spring for the spendier swag, but you never know, so he had to ask. And a perusal of Metolius' web site reveals no more slung hex things either, only cables.

Oh, yes, there will be no rack without Hexes. Or maybe them Metolius hex jobbies. Do BD Hexes only come wired now? Anybody used the Metolius ones? Any advice on cheapo cams vs. their pricier brethren?

Thx for the beta! Yeah, East Face, RPs, big project, Alan Watts to belay, check the mags next month, etc.

Hello, tradsters - The Doctor has been pondering (just pondering, mind you) the possibility of putting a trad rack together. You know, so Dwayner and that weasel Pope will quit pushing the Doctor down in the sandbox and stealing his lunch money, all the while cackling "tights-wearing sport weenie!" So, in doing some preliminary browsing, DFA stumbled upon ABC Huevos, which are dirty cheap, and Metolius Curve Nuts, which seem nifty. Does anyone have any experience with and thus thoughts about the Huevos vs. other more expensive and well-known nuts? And also about the Curve Nuts? OK, thanks in advance for what will surely be a ton of very helpful information.
