Funny, Dr. Flash Amazing once knew someone who was friends with an Ian that worked at Adidas. DFA is pretty sure it was "Ian," though, not "Iain." And maybe you don't even work at Adidas, so DFA will just shut up now. Oh, and page mo'fuggin' top, y'all. [ 09-13-2002, 03:26 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

"Release the kraken!

At the risk of sounding like a total geek (like that ever happens to the Doctor around here), isn't it marmots that make the beeping sound?

The consensus, such as it is, seems to be "not give a shit."

Greg W Hey, you overreactive fuckknob; the shitlist reference was, as they say, "a joke." So don't get your dick in a twist, cowboy. Why don't you go beat off and come back when you're not acting like such a twat.

Ever been on someone's shit list before, pal? Perhaps it would be better if you insinuated that Wetty Big Balls is Trask, or Dru, or even Pope for that matter, but DFA is no big-walling psycho hose-beast.

So, have some issues with the poster known as pope, do you?

So true. Much better to make up some sort of silly alias such as Cpt. Caveman, Dr. Flash Amazing, Heywood Jablowme, or, uh, jkreuger.

Of course it's a guy on the right. That's Trask, you nincompoop! He's just hard to recognize out of his makeup.

"There will be no photos but hangdog and pull on pro will likely be happening." Sounds an awful lot like sport climbing, buddy.

Looks like Christopher Lloyd. "We're sending you back ... to the future!"

Hey, matt, let us know if you have any questions about the relationship between closet Jewishness and jack Mormonism, OK?

Don't forget about Trask, you insensitive pigs!

HA! DFA failed your little geek-test, and now it seems that you are the true geek, Mr. Canadia! Go play with your telescopes and test tubes, Beaker. Dru: [ 09-12-2002, 03:22 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

Wow, it's another way rad over-the-top innuendo thread! Whoooo, DFA was afraid we were done with those!

Since this time, apparently. Although the last couple were a couple weeks behind. Fuggin' slackers over there in Carbondale.

It's in the newest issue, which arrived in the Amazing household mailbox yesterday. It's got an article on icy suffering in Scotland that looks pretty good. And a full-on ego-riffic spray-o-rama trip report from Dave Graham (more spray than a lawn full of Rain Birds) and crew in Europe. Anyway, Ryland's article about the inexperienced and uninterested user group just got DFA thinking about how much we all contribute to the mobs out there. Again, nothing to do with whether you climb 5.17f or 5.2d, ice or rocks or mountains or pebbles.

I could be available to climb on the 22nd, 23rd, 24th (afternoon), 27th, 28th, or the 29th! I'll be down there by myself, the trip is work related. I can give a ride too but you probably won't be sharing my schedule (must be there 24th, 25th, 26th). I climb 5.7 - 5.8+ sport lead, willing to try higher stuff TRed but according to the book there are some nice 5.7s that should keep you busy for a couple days. I've never been and am really looking forward to getting down there! Suggested tick list: - 5 Gallon Buckets (super fun, but you have to take a number and wait usually) - Bunny Face (harder than it looks, keeps you thinking) - Jete & Dancer (5.8 and 5.9? Never been on them, but they're handy 'cause they're right next to each other, and far enough from the chaos at Morning Glory wall and the Cinnamon Slab area that you might avoid some crowds) - The two 5.8s on the Peanut are fun, and there is a new route on a small column to the left of the Peanut that DFA thinks is about 5.9 (not sure, though) - Some fun things on Rope-de-Dope block, and you can catch shade for a good bit of the day there, too. Watch out for crowds, babies, and dogs. If it's too hot or crowded at the main area, there are scads of short, topropeable routes at Northern Point, which has a short, flat approach, and shade practically all day. Enjoy!

Holy semantics debate! Look; by "gumby," the Doctor is referring to an inexperienced person. Judging by most of the spritz that flies around here, DFA made the assumption that y'all were, for the most part, either experienced alpinists or at least long-time outdoorspersons. At no time did the Doctor make any claim that he wouldn't qualify as full-on green-and-malleable if presented with alpine sickness; which DFA usually makes quite clear by frequently referring to himself as a devout sport climber. DFA makes no presumption of superiority based on time spent outdoors. It's a pretty common thing among active outdoorspeople of any discipline to slag or at least question the prevailing couch-bound ethic of the average citizen. Be they paddling, pedaling, running, running it out, or clipping bolts, whatever; it's a common sentiment. His point, lest we lose sight of it, was more about crowded outdoor recreation spots as a result of a lot of people out recreating. Sheesh.
