DFA had a friend (those were the days ... *sigh* ) when he first started climbing who inherited her uncle's old trad rack. Lots of big-ass drilled-out hexes slung with like 7-mil Perlon cord, and big T-shaped pieces (Are those the "Titons" you're referring to?), also drilled out and slung with the big cord. She also had some assorted wacky nuts on a single piece of cable with a swaged loop on the end, shaped like giant copperheads, and some bizarre old-school passive camming things (SMC?). Can't recall if we ever used any of it; maybe for setting up TR anchors or something.

Izzat a giant-squid house?

That's 'cause the Doctor was not there on Sunday. Perhaps you may have spotted the DFA on Saturday ..?

This's gotta be the dumbest idea, along with those Chevy Avalanche or Ford Expeditiontruck thingamahoohahs with a canopy on the back. Like, if you're gonna buy 3/4 of an SUV with an almost unusably short truck bed on the back and then just cover the truck bed, why not just buy an SUV or a regular wagon? Stup'tarded, is what that is. Yep, it's Tuesday, and it's just as boring as yesterday was. Damn, people!

There's a bunch of those in the Upper Gorge at Smiffy. Apparently some dude had been there rope-soloing a lot of the routes. Probably the same scenario at this crag.

Didn't you choke on them? That's a big vegetable to swallow without chewing, let alone by force!

Set up a base camp at Maple Canyon from which you can enjoy fantastically fun and unique climbing on steep, pumpy, well-bolted sport routes of every grade in an excellent climate. On rest days, kick back and enjoy the beer that you wisely brought in from out of state, and enjoy nice views of the forest and the big cobble buttresses. Be sure to drive past the main camp ground so you can stay for free!

Climbing shoes. Concert tickets. Movies ($7.75 - Hello?!). Beer. Chalk. Houses. Fuck, it's all too expensive. Maybe if we all just worked together and the state provided everyone with everything. That would probably work. How come no one's tried that before?

Bit of spare time on your hands, Mr. Dru?

You're ambulating via foot-mounted metal runners on frozen water of insufficient thickness relative to your weight, Iain.

Electrostatic reproduction feline!

Just because you had a hard time figuring it out does not mean Dr. Flash Amazing had a hard time putting it together, buster. Anyway, who you calling a nerd, Mr. Addicted-to-cc.com?

Cooking container accusing the dedicated water-heating container of absorbing light.

Nice catch, Webster.

" actually I'm a menace with the bowling ball" Iain gets menacing:

Fuggeddit.

Nahhh. She probably just blew a seal!

Litter.

The difference, Muffy, at least to the Doctor, was that the poem in question was loaded with specific, derogatory quips about people from the Middle East, held together with enough negative racial and cultural stereotypes to choke David Duke, and was blatantly xenophobic. As opposed to DFA's previously explained play on words.

Everybody smells, dude. That's why when you go to someone else's house, it smells different from yours. Crazy, huh?

Muffy, are you referring to the Doctor's complaint about Trask's "Immigrant Poem"?

How? Where is the hypocrisy? Help a Doctor out, here.

You're still missing the point that the Doctor was not making fun of people who lisp, but rather using the lisped "s" as a vehicle for a play on words, much as the penguin is a vehicle for the ever-popular "looks like you blew a seal" play on words. There was nothing derogatory toward lispers about the wordplay in question. It didn't belittle them or imply that they were stupid or take away their right to speak and be understood.
