Cripes! Poor bastard ...

Or fairies at the very least!

"Hey sexualchocolate, I'm interested in this smallpox in the blanket business. Do you know where can I read up on this?" Well, somebody else predictably (and sarcastically) pointed out FUGAZI, but got the album wrong . You'll be looking for In on the Kill Taker: and it's track #4. Anyway, duh, it's not historical reference material, but it's one of their best albums. At least as best as any of the other ones.

Your average boulder hopper secretly wants to know what it feels like to get way off the deck, but he lacks the vision and courage to get on the sharp end. Hence, the need for another fine product (coming to the REI stocking-stuffer isle for the holidays): a bouldering pad slip-cover with a silk-screened photo of El Cap Meadows, taken from high on the Nose. That's right, the photo selected is of such high resolution that one may even observe tourist trams and gapers eating potato salad in the Meadows, and if you look carefully, you will see a full rack of cams and a jug of water tumbling down Free Blast. Johnny Bachar is visible only two pitches below, 80 feet out on his last nut and obviously climbing up your ass. One look down at this pad (from the third move on your garage woody) and you'll be sure to capture that big-wall ambience, which may be just what you need to stick the big dyno (and crap your pants in the process). Speculators and serious investors may send me a PM. Pure fucking genius. End of story.

Makes you wonder about Islam and what it has done for the followers of Mohammed..... Uh, maybe you don't know the same Muslims as DFA, 'cause they are mostly structural engineers, small-business owners, and computer techie types. For such a small handful of Muslims, there's sure a lot of smart folks among them. How could this be?!

NEIN! PAHJEN TOPPEN!

Well, shit, if you're using them to climb stuff, forget it!

Nachos gracy-As for fixing el system of los PMs, om-brays!

Not to hose Fred's sale, but have you worn the Sticky Weekend before, Caveman? DFA had a pair for a few years, and the fuckers were not very comfortable. Conspicuously absent was any sort of effective cushioning underfoot. Despite what appeared to be foam on the bottom of the shoe, it was a lot like walking on plywood soles. That, and the clever way the sole gets thinner toward the toe (allowing you to climb better in them) keeps your feet canted forward at all times, making walking downhill an unpleasant endeavor. DFA's advice, though you're surely loath to take it, is to try a couple other brands. The Lowa low tops (forgot the name temporarily) are an extremely cush ride.

There are a couple of cliffs along the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon with salt seeping out of them, which would make for a sort of salt/mixed climb; they're pretty steep, too. Of course, they're sacred to the Hopi Indians, so you'd probably have to dodge arrows while you figure-four up the tenuous salt smears. Full value!

quote: Originally posted by Muir on Saturday: 1) organized religion is evil. Remember: think first, then speak! "2) i keep hearing arabs everywhere say the are not against the u.s., they are just opposed to "u.s. policies". i've come to conclude that when an arab says "u.s. policies" it is a euphemism for "people in the u.s. are not islamic fundamentalists". to hell with all of 'em." There are shitloads more people than just Arabs/Muslims who are anti-US policy and not anti-America. Kind of like being anti-SUV but not anti-car, or anti-sport climbing but not anti-climbing. Don't forget that this is a hot-button, big money issue for the media right now, so you're getting flooded with fear-mongering reports of Muslims causing havoc. If you think about how many Muslims there are in the world, you're smearing the malfeasance of a few on to a great many.

Hmm, thanks for the beta. As for the website, DFA is unschooled in the arcana of the computer arts. Perhaps Iain, computer geek and wiseacre extraordinaire, has some web info for you.

Hmmm ... suspiciously, Dana Design has relocated to Vashon, WA, home of K2, and, strangely, the website makes no mention of the venerable D. Gleason ...

If Dr. Flash Amazing is not mistaken (and, really, would he be?), did Dana Designs not get bought out by K2 a few years back, hence the production shift and now sub-par product, as well as the rise of K2/Dana backpacks? Plus, Dana went and started Mystery Ranch, which is now where you'll find further techie innovation, bomber construction, exotic materials, and exorbitant (but worth it?) prices.

Speaking of Smartwool, does anyone out there (besides, of course, world famous alpinist and spokesmodel Ed Viesturs) have any experience with the stuff? Is it indeed superior to its synthetic cousins?

That movie is so damn funny. An all-time comedy classic. "Smokie, I ain't the smartest man in the world, but it looks like you over there takin' a shit!"

"Fag" is a "manlove sonnet"?

quote: Originally posted by Son of Caveman: I have a snowmobile. It is old, and the muffler fell off years ago, and it smokes something fierce, and I have stickers on it that say 'Show me you tits', and I ride it to the top of Baker, and I can always find my way home by following the oil slick back down the mountain. It's cool. I like Bush. Fag.

Need the Doctor remind you of the well-known Nostradamus prophecy which states that "he who would anger Dr. Flash Amazing would surely have great ill befall him." True dat.

Poor you! If you'd read FAST FOOD NATION you'd have known to stay away from that shit!

To quote the great Ice Cube, "fuck all y'all." Oh, and DFA owns neither Lycra nor a stick clip, so !
