Dr_Flash_Amazing

That dude used to live in Southern Oregon, and he had a gas-powered roto-hammer and a chronic chipping problem. Anyone who's been to Rattlesnake has no doubt experienced his handiwork, including an awesome route featuring chunks of rock Sika'd onto a face for holds (who doesn't like painful, awkward crimpers covered in slippery glue? ), and chipped pockets within reach of useable handholds.

On the sorta nostalgic tip, the Beastie Boys' "Check Your Head" has been getting heavy rotation for the first time since, like 1994. What a fine album! Common Rider/Against All Authority split (just the CR tracks--AAA kinda sux) Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros: world music-type music without the soft-focus new-agey cheese. Who knew? Relive those Clash glory days wit' a modern update. The Evens. It's Ian MacKaye with an acoustic guitar, and this Amy Farina woman on drums, and both of them sing. Imagine acoustic Fugazi on folk pills with some edgy estrogen thrown in; listen, rinse, repeat.

Just bang in some 1/4 x 1-1/2 Star Dryvins and call it good!

Jeez, dood, keep that shit to yourself!

Surprisingly quick and defensive response. That didn't strike a nerve, did it, bowling pin?

They're paying off shills already, are they?

Word on the street is that Tenayas are only worn by burnt-out chuffers who crux out trying to get off the couch, and have nothing left but hazy recollections of the glory days. That's just what DFA heard, though.

Haven't found a use for molten lead ..? Good God, woman, turn the stuff into gold! You'll be rich! RICH! BWA HA HA HA HAAA!

Best to assume that Dr. Flash Amazing knows most everything, thus saving yourself a lot of unnecessary surprise, and the resultant wear and tear on your heart and nervous system.

Cams are typically fairly easy to clean, due to their innovative design. The best technique is to grasp the cam by the stem and trigger bar, squeeze to retract the cam lobes fully, and carefully pull the cam free from the crack, keeping an eye out for any pods or constrictions that could impede removal. Piece of cake!

Probably one of Saddam's sneaky mobile weapons labs. Rabid Baathist fascist bastards (say that 10x fast) were probably trying to blow up the Red Iguana in SLC, thus starving the Mormon population of delicious mole enchiladas! RED ALERT! RED ALERT! Quickly! Under your desk!

Planning on branching out from anti-GI Joe terrorist actions into some civil engineering?

Keep that shit out at Rocky Butte Needle Park, hoss.

exposure? fucking idiot. work on your reading skills gyms suck ass anyway you cut them... but bouldering in a gym sucks the most ass. Hey...HEY! That's Dr. Flash Amazing you're fucking with, son. Take a deep breath, take a step back, and fucking settle down before you go firing off your yap like you're talking to the gas station attendant or something. Shit.

Let's take it a bit deeper, and examine the uselessness of this thread. Truly, the zenith of uselessness, which happens to lie at the same point as the nadir of usefulness. A stunning, juxtapositive superimposition of opposite sameness, ultimately summing to an earth-shaking nil.

Why's everyone so cheesed off about Toblerone? They've been selling that shit for as long as DFA can remember, at least since the Seattle store was the only store. Sounds like y'all are a bunch of Johnny-come-lately poseur types to this Doctor.

Eat up and send!

Dear Cobra Commander, Dr. Flash Amazing wishes you an Amazing (heh heh, couldn't resist) birthday, filled with lots of fun ballons, kickass presents, and a GI Joe cake so you can symbolically devour your enemies whilst savoring the very best in airbrushed lard/sugar frosting compounds from Safeway Dessert Research Labs. Best wishes in the coming year's subterfuge, espionage, schemes, and conquests! Your bro fo' life, yo, Dr. Flash Amazing

W...w...w...WAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

And who would argue?

Who goes to the climbing gym for the exposure? Spoken like a true VB boulderer.

Ah, perhaps this ties in with the previous word on the street that a certain enthusiastic new gym owner proceeded with his new construction, plumbing, and electrical without jumping through that small but pesky hoop known as "getting a building permit." Hoo nose?

Emigrant Lake outside of Ashland, when the water is up. There's a selection of stuff from five-easy to .12+ lines that are sport routes when the water is down. Of course, last time DFA went in that lake, he came out with an ear infection, but it's usually fairly safe, long as the water's deep enough to keep you from bottoming out from up high. People have gone in from around 70 or 80 feet when the lake is high, though.

I give up. What is it. Slabby chosspile?
