Dr_Flash_Amazing

You already posted that link in another thread, poo-pile. Quit it!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hmm, poor Trask seems upset about something. What could it be?

Thank goodness! No more "dangerous surgery or cumbersome weights!" People in the elevator always stare when they hear that strange clacking noise!

That's a Frank Lloyd Wright, nest ce pas?

Thank you so much, Col. DFA never could keep track of those pesky Fugazi song titles.

Eh? Hasn't he been in the Dischord House since the days of Minor Threat? At least, that's where he was shacked up in 'Another State of Mind'.

Pietro, how would you feel about using the proceeds of the recorded music settlement to fund a fabulous Pub Club event wherein Dr. Flash Amazing would rock the tables and Sexual Chocolate would reveal the secrets of the Moondance?

"what could a businessman ever want more? than to have us sucking in his store? We owe you nothing! You have no control! We owe you nothing! You have no control!" What song is that again? Something off 'Repeater' ...

Eh? And steal food off Ian MacKaye's table? You heartless bastard! Support your local indie record store is the solution. Big box music retailers are heartily encouraged to get fucked!

Goat, you sound an awful lot like you're warming up to debate what the meaning of "is" is. (That's what we like to call "a joke," you dig?)

Where's Greg W's vociferous bellicosity in this argument? He doubtless has some first-rate input. Sidelined by the ever-looming "work," perhaps?

Weren't you cats just in PDX, Spanker? Band name sounds familiar. What kind o' music y'all play?

Oh, and sorry to hear about your layoff. That's the big suck.

Trombone rocks! Long live Don Drummond!

Trask! Are you trying to limit MtnGoat's freedom to make choices about what he will do with his time and energy?! Fascist!

So, MtnGoat; when your SUV kills some Geo Metro-driving mother and her kids in a collision, or when DFA starts developing lung cancer from breathing the coal-burning-power-plant's worth of shit it spews into the air, are we not talking about an irretrievable loss? Of life, of time, of your precious money, whatever? Is it not then the right of the aggrieved party to seek appropriately damaging compensatory action against *you*?

Regarding item one, the Doctor always wondered how punk rock record labels could charge less than ten bucks for CDs while the major labels who were moving zillions of copies had to charge 16 or 18 bucks. Hope those fuckers take it in the ass but good.

Laps on Oxygen? Hmm, perhaps in Dr. Flash Amazing's dreams but not in the present reality. Anyway, it's all about learning to really trust the gear, first of all, and of course even having some, which DFA doesn't. Learning to trust it enough to fall on it would make a big difference in closing up the numbers gap. And of course having more than a passing interest in even doing trad routes. The Doctor has been having plenty of fun clipping bolts for the past ten years, so the trad area hasn't received a whole lot of attention.

The Doctor has done ZZ, and found the 2nd pitch kind of sketchy, which was why he followed it. DFA's gear limit on lead is so far 5.9 on a couple occasions, but usually 5.8. And there is too plenty of crap to knock down off the third pitch of ZZ. That crack before the traverse had plenty of choss waiting to leap out and split someone's wig. And how about the large pile of bongo flakes right off the first belay? Those babies have got plenty of unnerving flex to them. Pry that mess loose and someone's wearing a couple-hundred-pound tuff hat. Ouch. The Doctor has done Moonshine a couple times (got kinda gripped up there!), Spiderman, etc. All fun lines for sure, and DFA looks forward to getting on them again.

Ah, but Trask, was the BTP and the ensuing revolution a viable option then, either? Who decides when it's appropriate to kill in defense of one's cause? ATTENTION GOVERNMENT SNOOPS, SPIES, SCREWS, TIA OFFICIALS, et. al.: Dr. Flash Amazing does not endorse violence against any person, least of all the great leaders of our nation and our nation's businesses. It's all just for the sake of conversation. So don't come around turning DFA's house upside down looking for ties to Al Qaeda, the ELF, or the ACLU, 'cause there's nothing there. Good day.

Actually, Muffy, now that you refresh the Doctor's admittedly rusty memory, that does sound familiar.

Uhhh ... ahhh ... hmm. Difference?

Rosebraugh article. He's speaking at Laughing Horse Books in PDX some time in the next few days, about this very topic. Apparently it was his Master's thesis; the role of violence in American politics or history, something along those lines.

Trask, DFA agrees with you, and maintains that taking human life is fucked. But it's an interesting position for the traditionally nonviolent far left. Recalling that the US was founded with something of a bang and all, it'll be interesting to see if these nuts decide on all out war against corporate rule.

They lit a few SUVs on fire, somewhere back East if the Doctor recalls correctly. Seems they torched a couple of McMansions as well. www.earthliberationfront.com probably has the specifix.
