Oh, Trask, are you upset because someone broke a window at the Gap?

We need to put an end to the Rocket-powered Giant Squid race before it puts an end to us! Let the tentacled reign of terror take never a life again! STOP THE SQUIDNESS!

Ugh. That was unbearable. All the gangsta-speak and bitchy infighting ... the photos were sick, though. And all the sick-hard sending and onsighting is inspiring, despite the jingus format.

"VERSE I've wined and dined on Mulligan stew And never wished for turkey As I hitched and hiked and grifted, too, From Maine to Albuquerque. Alas, I missed the Beaux Arts Ball, And what is twice as sad, I was never at a party Where they honored Noel Ca' ad. But social circles spin too fast for me. My Hobohemia is the place to be. REFRAIN 1 I get too hungry for dinner at eight I like the theater but never come late I never bother with people I hate That's why the lady is a tramp I don't like crapgames with Barons and Earls Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls That's why the lady is a tramp I like the free fresh wind in my hair Life without care I'm broke, it's oke Hates California is cold and is damp That's why the lady is a tramp REFRAIN 2 I go to Coney-the beach is divine. I go to ball games-the bleachers are fine. I follow Winchell and read ev'ry line. That's why the lady is a tramp. I like a prizefight that isn't a fake. I love the rowing on Central Park Lake. I go to opera and stay wide awake. That's why the lady is a tramp. I like the green grass under my shoes. What can I lose? I'm flat! That's that! I'm all alone when I lower my lamp. That's why the lady is a tramp. REFRAIN 3 (reprise) Don't know the reason for cocktails at five. I don't like flying-I'm glad I'm alive. I crave affection, but not when I drive. That's why the lady is a tramp. Folks go to London and leave me behind. I'll miss the crowning, Queen Mary won't mind. I don't play Scarlett in Gone With the Wind- That' s why the lady is a tramp. I like to hang my hat where I please. Sail with the breeze. No dough-heigh-ho! I love La Guardia and think he's a champ. That' s why the lady is a tramp. REFRAIN 4 (reprise) Girls get massages, they cry and they moan. Tell Lizzie Arden to leave me alone. I'm not so hot, but my shape is my own. That's why the lady is a tramp! The food at Sardi's is perfect, no doubt. I wouldn't know what the Ritz is about. I drop a nickel and coffee comes out. That's why the lady is a tramp! I like the sweet, fresh rain in my face. Diamonds and lace, No got-so what?"

Dunno, just was reminded of that by recent discussions.

But they are balls-out climbers!

It's in the large dihedral after the bergschrund, at the beginning of the M12 A5 par 4 pitch with the V7 sit-start. Dean took the lead, and seeing as how the numbskull had dropped the pins, the only way he could protect it was by taking off his socks, pissing on them, and letting them freeze into long tubes like Big Bros. He'd just place them with the rope running behind them, 'cause we had used all the slings to equalize the poop-tube belay, which was pretty shifty.

"10 easy steps to create an enemy and start a war: Listen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our lives. It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated. We need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity and not as truth. First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you. Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you. Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habits fashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job, they are heatless murderers who enjoy killing! Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them with all disseminated information. Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's information. This can be done through state run media. Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information. Therefore all for-profit media becomes state-run. Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different. Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine. Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party. Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between. One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor. Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions. This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom." This can also be achieved by the use of flags. Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity. It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god's will" or "god bless our nation." Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones. Make it cleat that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill. Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instability and then offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort the public's fears. Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear. We are not countries. We are not nations. We are not religions. We are not gods. We are not weapons. We are not ammunition. We are not killers. We are not your slaves. We will not fight your battles. We will not die on your battlefields. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS!!!"

Good call, God ... err, Trask!

Maybe he just thinks you're quick on your feet and would make a good source of lean red meat? (Hey! Rhymage!)

Do you have a problem with that? Whoah! Them, as they say, is fightin' words!

Oh, Iain, you're such a negative Nelly!

!!! !!!

In jail, perhaps?

Busted!

*yyyaaaawwwwwnnnnn*

(Dammit!)

That's Dr. Flash Amazing, hangin' it out on the first pitch of Chain Reaction during the grueling first winter ascent. It was hella burly and runout and shit. Portaledges blew away when we were looking for the TP in one of the pigs, and Dean dropped the pitons. It was a frozen hell up there, made Baffin look like fucking Tahiti in July, for reals. By the time we reached the summit ridge, everything but one Gu packet and half a horsecock chub had blown away, and we were belaying off the poop tube wedged in an offwidth. And the descent ... oh, the horror. You children are not ready to have that nightmare recounted to you, lest you never set foot outside your front door again.

look whos ripping off Greg Graffin lyrics now. Someone's going to die for their own arrogance if Graffin gets wind of this!

Eh? Why would they stop at .10s? Mrs. DFA climbs 5.12!

Someone missed their naptime today!

The Red-X Arete on White Square Peak in the Northwest corner of the Monitor Range?

How did he get all that chalk all over his shoulders? Or is that a skin condition?

Knew someone was going to bust the Doctor for that. Just didn't wanna get pegged as a dyke, hence the miscapitalization.

Sorry, wrong again. That would be the uber-popular jug-o-rama known as Fear and Loathing! Choad Warrior looks like a kick in the ass, though. Steeeeeeeeeep.
