Who, Mike Tyson?

He gets bitchy when he doesn't get his juice box in the morning. Kids!

Ugh. That's Barbecue the Pope, isn't it? Bleack!

So did you ever do 5 Easy Pieces?

Are we at least at Indian Creek and Red Rocks?!

FUCK! The Incredible Handcrack and Dream of Wild Turkeys!

Supercrack and Prince of Darkness!

That's Trask, you ninny, you nabob, you nattering numbskull!

Mark, Dr. Flash Amazing has always been of the opinion that the Plastic Cave was one of the most repellent blights on the face of rock he had ever seen or heard of, make no mistake. However, given DFA's mad bent to joyously sarcastify the internet, he seized on your holds-to-be-sold like a dingo on an unattended infant (frightful, no?), and ran with it, ran with it 'til he scored a farcical and ludicrous touchdown in the end-zone of the pointless playing field that is internet bulletin-boredom. So, Mr. Hudon, the Doctor apologizes for harassing, picking on, and misleading you, and you are hereby wished the best of luck in your Great Climbing Hold Sell-Off. Happy cragging, Dr. Flash "Good Lord, But He's Bored" Amazing

Surely, RobBob(a-loo-bob-a-wob-bam-boom), you're not implying that Daniel Schorr was as detrimental to his own profession as was Nixon to his?

HUDON! It would seem you have shirked your Amazing-mandated responsibilities to Smith Rock and to the vertically-inclined among mankind, and are still trying to turn holds into gold. Do what you must to understand the Doctor's message -- meditate, fast, pray, wander, gobble fistfuls of peyote, whatever -- but understand it, and heed. The Plastic Cave needs you, brother. Now, more so than at any other time in the history of plastic-adorned tuff. Go forth and route-set! Humbly yet commandingly, Dr. Flash "preaching the plastic paradigm" Amazing

True, and he's got a voice for print media, but his content outweighs all that.

Well, not being especially well-versed in D. Schorr's history, the Doctor has only the man's incisive and wry commentary as a basis on which to judge, and making the leap from that platform, one arrives at the conclusion that ol' Dan is a sharp tack and a trusty source of reliable insight.

Promiscuous and mischievous ... and yet too dumb to put on overalls correctly. How adorably peculiar...

Did any of you just listen to the damn commentary? Sheesh!

Daniel Schorr didn't have the balls to publish CIA and/or FBI documents that were classified back in the mid-70s. Instead he SOLD said docs to a reporter at the Village Voice, who published them. He then tried to make it look like Leslie Stahl did it. He resigned amid scandal from CBS Daniel Schorr is a slimeball no matter where your political affiliations lie. He has a whole lot of people believing that he is a do-gooder who "believes in the first amendment." Bullshit. I believe that he believes in Daniel Schorr's career interests at the moment, and further likes to make trouble for anyone in a position of authority. His silver tongue and the nature of our press (wielding power without responsibility) have allowed the slimebag to skate through with reputation intact. Hmm, didn't know that. But do you really think he's into furthering his career at this point? He's like 92 years old!

Thank goodness for google! In a matter of minutes, one can dig up an avatar pic of a notorious Russian that one knows essentially nothing about, and can then proceed to take in a brief history lesson and learn that said character was a life-long womanizing scalawag, a dubiously righteous self-styled Orthodox monk, weaseled his way into the Russian royal family (the Romanovs!), continued to booze and sleaze his way through life while exploiting tenuous political and familial times to stay tight with -- and apparently to diddle -- the royal family, then got suckered into a perhaps untimely but probably inevitable death while furthering his pursuit of liqour and lust. Fantastic. "During the fateful last evening of Rasputin's life, the conspirators drugged, poisoned, beat and shot him. Yet the staretz survived all these and actually died by drowning when his body, wrapped in a carpet was thrown into the Moika Canal on the Neva River." How about that shit?

"Besmirched." Anyway, how is the esteemed Daniel Schorr "besmirched"? DFA doesn't really know much about Rasputin (other than that he was rather ), but you can't fuck with that portrait. Scaaaaary.

This and the comments of the not-such-a-very-bad-person Glacierdawg are just beautiful. The Doctor heard of a monk once who had either predicted the coming of or referred to the reality of TV as the devil coming to your house in a box, his horns atop your house. Nice. Exorcise your home and de-demonize your life, lest you drown in the diabolical deluge of dumbed-down drivel. Up the written word! Pick up an alternative news weekly, get a subscription to your fav'rite periodical, get a library card, bounce around the dictionary, read everything from every author you ever liked, browse a catalog, grab a sample copy of 'Cat Fancy' from the supermarket. Drink deeply; it's good for you.

Just as a bit of helpful information, and not, of course, to criticize, demean, excoriate, etc., but it's "tenets", not "tenants", the latter being persons who rent space in a building. Helpfully yours, Dr. Flash Amazing
