Dr_Flash_Amazing

Dr. Flash Amazing begs your pardon, sir, but DFA prides himself on being courteous and respectful at all times. Unless he's calling someone a worthless bag of snaffle jizz, in which case they probably deserve it anyway. Yeah.

Oh, yes, Dr. Flash Amazing cares ever so much.

Nothing going on here. [ 09-26-2002, 04:49 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

quote: Originally posted by Dru: In New Zealand, and England, its all the scarred Hells Angel biker guys, working class yobs, Maori rugby players etc. who drink cider. Beware if someone offers you some 'scrumpy' that stuff is like 12% alc. Figures, in a country where they drive on the wrong side o' the bleedin' road. 12% alco, that's pretty severe. There's a brewery in Ballard called Maritime Pacific, and their winter beer (Jolly Roger) clocks in at (correct the Doctor if he's wrong, Seattlites) 10.5%. It also bears the distinction of being the best beer ever.

Hey, Goat - The Doctor means no disrespect, but do you write this kind of stuff down as you're posting, i.e. what questions you asked or what questions were asked of you? Or do you just have a capacious memory for infinitessima? Because the Doctor must admit, he can't remember half the shit you seem to in these little debates. Interesting, is all.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: Drink girlie type coolers then "Another hard rockaberry peach please Mr .Bartender (giggle)" That reminds DFA of one of his numerous post-Smith trips to the brewery in Redmond. There were about six or seven folks in the party, and after we finished dinner, one of the ladies in the group was looking at the receipt, and she asked rather derisively "who ordered the wine cooler?" Of course everyone was laughing, because what kind of wank orders a wine cooler? Turns out it was the hard cider that one of the gents at the table had ordered, which, of course, is not much better. Poor guy was humiliated, but, come on, what do you expect drinking that sissy shit?

quote: Originally posted by Dru: SNPA = Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Gracias, vato de Canada. That's tasty shit. Cheap beers like Hamm's and PBR aren't really that bad, they mainly just taste like watered-down real beer without much character. Still, they hit the spot when you're rolling cheap style or doing manual labor.

You could probably get them shits cauterized like they do with baby livestock such as goats. Same type of material, isn't it? Probably hurt like fuck, though.

What the hell is that pile of schist? Wait, that wasn't a very gneiss thing to say. Ahhh, hilarious. Say, is it time go home yet?

quote: Originally posted by Thinker: Some of the steeper parts look like they could be fun. And you of all people, DFA, should appreciate the value of maintaining the secret identity of the superheros in our midst... True, indeed.

Looks like a big, jingus slab. You could probably mountain bike down it. And it must be windy, 'cause those two people are behind some sort of white shelter or something.

Mira! El "Hamm's Bear!" Que bueno!

I will admit they are not as tasty as PBR...but I get lost a lot. Blasphemy! Blasphemy! Sure, PBR has more hipster/punk/indie-rock cache, but Hamms is a far superior beverage, hands down. Please do not make any more disparaging remarks about "The Beer Refreshing," sir.

Word is he's replacing the asterisk key on his keyboard which wore out from his *prodigious* overuse thereof.

Sounds about right. The Doctor figures, what with the altitude and all, the pitches will have to be about twenty feet long. Say you run it out and make it four bolts per pitch, plus anchors; that'll save some weight.

Well, the sumbitch better be bolted, dammit.

quote: Originally posted by dbconlin: Has anyone seen any of the (numerous) comparisons of prominent mountains, where they show a picture of glacial extent and snow/ice coverage 50 years ago and then today. It's scary and extremely relevant to those of us climbers who so happen to enjoy a little snow and ice. I don't want to get too much into a fight here, and the personal attacks are getting a little carried away, but there's one thing I want to point out, and, no, I don't really have any data to back it up. Here goes: No one is denying that we are in a warming cycle; neither is anyone denying that warming cycles have happened repeatedly during the earth's history and completely naturally/non-anthropogenically (because what is "natural" anyway). But since the industrial revolution and more recently with the invention of the automobile and our increasing dependence on fossil fuels, the warming trend has (apparently) sharply increased. For the speed of glacial retreat, polar ice cap dissolution, and melting of alpine snow- and ice-fields to happen naturally, I find, to be highly unlikely. While I don't claim to have "proved" anything, how can this not be compelling enough evidence? If you're MtnGoat, it's not compelling evidence until it's been exhaustively verified and cross-referenced. So unless you've got iron-clad documentation, don't bother.

Ric Flair? You asked for it!

Well, if you're George Lucas, you don't go anywhere without your Toy-Yoda.

Bah! Dr. Flash Amazing knows about more types of climbing than just sportism, despite not participating in them. He just didn't get your joke, period. Probably because it was lame and from Canada.
