Why would she be? It's gay as hell!

Depends on your tolerance level for coldness and wetness.

Asking your wife stuff is gay. So's your wife. Wa ha ha ha haaa!

Eh? Homophobia is gay!

Spray is gay.

Shit, SC and the UGD are neck-and-neck, so to speak! Who will win this racy race?

DFA came to the rescue with a vote for The Obviously Gay Duo, aka GregW and Trask. Congrats, tossers!

Hmm ... in that case, "not as dumb as you look" isn't saying much.

Good work, Greg, you're not as dumb as DFA imagines you must look!

What idiots are referring to, you idiot?

Don Don loves it!

Whaddayou, some kin'a homo 'r sumpin'? Not that there's anything wrong with that and stuff ...

The Doctor figured as much, Greg, you puto loco. It's true about tacking on a vowel to get words in other languages. DFA's Spanish teacher during his Junior year in Highschool referred to this as "Spanglish," and encouraged us, if we couldn't remember a word on a test or whatever, to at least try the Spanglish, as it was often correct. Sayonara.

Greg, Your Espanol is muy malo. Please stick to slinging right-wing party line barbs to avoid further embarrassment. Linguistically yours, Dr. Flash Amazing

Senor Trask, Tu eres muy disgusto. Por favor, no postes mas pictures de animales muertes. Gracias. Tu amigo, El Medico Flash Amazing

Try calling Vertical World?

Gaaahhhh!!! Nice one.

It's all in the .

Actually, Bronco, it should be noted that while this resembles a conspiracy in some ways, conspiracies usually involve black helicopters. Conspiracies are exciting, but it's important to keep a level head and look at the facts when examining purported conspiracies.

Dr. Flash Amazing doesn't know squat about City of Rocks except that it's granite and in Idaho. Red Rocks, on the other hand, is one of the Doctor's fave destinations. The weather is excellent this time of year, usually dry, with temps topping out around 60, give or take, and lows in the 30s. In DFA's past 6 or so trips down there after Christmas, he's only had perhaps 3 days of climbing get rained out. Keep in mind, though, that the sandstone gets very soft if it gets rained on, so you have to wait a full day before climbing on it again, lest holds come snapping off left and right. The rock is beautiful fine-grained red (duh) sandstone with lots of cool black plates of patina, making for excellent incut holds. There are tons of sport routes all over the grading scale, probably tipped slightly towards the 5.11 and 5.12 end of things, but there's no shortage of fun routes in the 5.10s. Red Rocks sport routes are usually home to lots of bolts, which is nice for the new leader (or the skittish veteran). There's also some fun bouldering outside the park proper. It's a convenient 15 minutes from the strip mall 'n' subdivision hell of Las Vegas, making it easy to get provisions or lurk at Starbucks on a rest day (or catch a movie, or hit a casino, or shop for the same crap you could find anywhere, or get a shower, etc.). There is a well-stocked climbing/outdoor store (Desert Rock Sports) which is right next to the climbing gym, which has showers for a couple bucks. A new campground was put in a couple years ago, which is about 5 minutes from the park entrance, and costs a sort of steep $10 a night, but you get picnic tables, barbecues, fire rings, clean outhouses, and no highway noise. And, of course, Las Vegas is the home of the cheap hotel. The actual park is on a fantastically stupid one-way loop drive which is thirteen miles long, with all 3 sport climbing areas being in the first 3 miles, and most of the trad climbing being in the last 5. Nice. It costs $5 a day to get in, but a $25 annual pass is the way to go if you're going to be there long enough. This also gets you to the visitors' center, where there is a pay phone, the usual visitors' center stuff, and fabulous heated bathrooms, as well as drinking water. Pick up 'Red Rocks Select' by Todd Swain for sport routes and a good bit of the trad stuff, or supertopo.com just came out with a new trad book if that's your gig. Viva Las Vegas!

Wrong side of the argument too, putz.

Inconceivable!

Yeah, those dirty savages need to keep their political hands (and money) to themselves, like everyone else does.

Damn, you right-wingers are no fun when you don't stick to the script (like we left-wingers, ha ha)! Really, though, the argument about resource use was directed at Greg and Trask, and DFA assumed that those of you to whom it didn't apply would recognize that it didn't apply and ignore it. Anyway, Rob, global warming is bad and it's all George Bush's and Rush Limbaugh's fault. What's to discuss, really?
