A cursory examination of the evidence in the picture reveals a small UFO in the foreground near Agent Mulder's right hand, which is a sure sign that something is afoot. Also evident is the weapon used to unconsciousify Mr. Mulder, which is the large stick seen just above his head. We can also tell he must have been clobbered fairly forcefully, as his boots have come off; one of which can be seen near his left elbow, the other of which may have landed somewhere out of the frame of this photo. The event must have taken place in the morning, as we can see a large plastic bag near Mulder's head, which is obviously for picking up canine excrements, an activity commonly associated with the walking of one's dog, which typically takes place in the morning.

It's true. Some bastards stole the Doctor's ride a few years ago, and sure enough, when the pigs finally turned it up a month later, the tape deck was still in it. About a hundred and fifty cassettes, however, were apparently fair game.

Of course, 99% of the DJ's plaguing the nation these days are middle-class white folks as well. Kurt's hardly blazing a new, crackeriffic trail into what was once the realm of black, inner-city hip hoppers. Of course, DFA isn't exactly looking forward to this DJ crap, either. Blasted repetetive, trendoid crap. There's no fucking reason for those songs to last more than about 30 seconds, at which poing you've already heard the beats and samples repeated about 10 times. You can't turn around in Portland anymore without bumping into some headphones-sporting chump with a crate of records. Were there this many wankers clamoring to start bands when they invented the electric guitar? Fuckin' ridiculous, mang. [ 09-10-2002, 02:13 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

So, who's going to pay 13 bucks for a quarterly magazine and read bunch of articles about climbs that Rock & Ice and Climbing covered months ago? Silly millionaire. He needs to resurrect Sport Climbing Connection, dammit!

The Doctor heard one like that monkey joke, but it was part of a humorous triad, told by a visiting Australian. Also included here is one bonus joke, which is not part of the triad, but makes fun of Australians. Okay, here we go: Q. Why did the koala fall out of the tree? A. Because he was dead. Q. Why did the second koala fall out of the tree? A. Because he was holding on to the first one. Q. Why did the third koala fall out of the tree? A. Because he thought they were playing follow the leader! Q. Why do Australians call their beer Four-X? A. Because they can't spell "beer!"

"Handouts do not work (not in the U.S., anyway). People need to EARN a living and invest in themselves. WHy should I GIVE my hard-earned money to some shmoe sitting on his ass? That is highly offensive to me. Peace, Dru. Greg W" What makes you think poor automatically = lazy? Poor people have to bust ass just so they can stay poor and not wind up homeless. That minimum wage shit sets people up for having to work all day at one lame-ass job, take the bus for an hour across town and pull another shift at some other lame-ass job. Lazy it ain't. Shit, even homeless people are always on the move, looking for cans, scrounging for food, sparing for change, trying to get in at shelters or the food line, trying to find a place to sleep.

American sweatshops unions were necessary... but now they hinder our now stuggling economy... thanks proffesor, but i think you need to go back to school before you give lectures that you know nothing about... Yeah, it's unions that are really damaging to the economy. Dr. Flash Amazing has seen enough lazy fuckers using union membership as an excuse to do shabby work to not be a balls-out union supporter, but the fact that Joe Blow can get a job at corporation like UPS earning a near-living wage and getting pretty decent benefits points to their utility as well. But the Doctor digresses. The economy is pretty fucked, but DFA would guess that shitbrick companies like Enron and their little accounting shenanigans skewering of the public's already shaky trust in the stock market has been a lot more detrimental to our economy than the unions. And hey, just imagine if the millions (billions?) of dollars those oh-so-honorable CEO's had been swindling had wound up in workers' pockets! Any idea how far that kind of money would go toward getting the average check-to-check worker on their feet financially, and back to injecting money in the economy? You want a scapegoat? Try corporate greed, pal.

"allison turn off your TV and get your own opinion... why professor are they poor then? my dad was ppor...and he's not now cause he has ambition... i will never be poor nor will the majority of those who dare to work and work hard. you see the american dream is not to jerk off and get paid by the government for it...it is to work hard to make your dreams come true...i am doing it and if your dreams are to be poor then you will be poor...if you dream to be well off that too will be the case...you may not be a millionre, but you wont have to worry about food on the table..." Your example is definitely the exception to the rule, and your rhetoric about "dreams coming true" (gag the Doctor with a fucking tongue depressor ... puh-leez!) is about as After School Special as it gets. You think the hordes of people who can barely afford those 33-cent loaves of air bread at Safeway don't dream of getting out of their poverty shithole? Give DFA a fucking break. There's a hell of a lot more involved in whether someone is poor and stays poor than their ambition. Throw in a child or two, injuries or illness, addictions, etc., and your minimum wage job isn't going to be doing a whole lot for you.

Bollocks. Dr. Flash Amazing hasn't a garage to be ransacked. Try the basement next time, but watch out for spiders and a three D-cell Mag Lite on your skull.

A guy is feeling very ill and is concerned about his health, so he goes to see his doctor. He describes his symptoms, and the doctor tells the man that it sounds like cancer, and he probably doesn't have long to live. The man can't believe it, so he asks the doctor to at least make a more thorough exam. The doctor tells the man to wait, and steps out of the office. A few minutes later, a cat comes in, hops up on the table, looks at the man closely, sniffs around a bit, then leaves. The doctor comes back in and reiterates that it's cancer and that the man only has a short time to live. The man is flustered, and asks for another opinion. The doctor tells him to wait again, and leaves the exam room. A few minutes later, a black lab comes in, looks the man over, sniffs around a bit, and then leaves. The doctor comes back in, and says that he is now almost %100 percent sure of his original diagnosis. Dejected, the man acquiesces, and goes to leave. At the front desk, he is presented with a bill for $950. He is outraged, and demands to see the doctor. He asks what could possibly have cost so much money, and the doctor says "well, it's 50 dollars for the office visit, and 900 for the cat scan and lab tests." Ahh, that's one of DFA's faves. Another: Q. Why does a chicken coop have two doors? A. Because if it had four doors it'd be a chicken sedan! Ha haaaaaaaaaa! Ha! Ha! Haaaaaaaa! Rock:

Dr. Flash Amazing has done so. sound system gonna bring me back up, yeah one thing that I can depend on [ 09-08-2002, 05:18 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

This thread is the zenith of boringisms. Someone wake the Doctor when there's something ing happening. [ 09-08-2002, 04:39 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

According to http://www.8000metremixedboulderingenchainementnews.com, there were not enough oversized sponsor logos showing to satisfy the contract agreements, and something about not getting the logo in "the money shot" back in the tent at base camp, whatever that's about. Fortunately, the rep was weighed down with 83 pounds of stickers, banners, brochures, and "My Hubby Sent Hardcore All Weekend and All I Got Was This Way Rad $250 Arc'Tierra Designs Schoeller DrySkin Extreme T-Shirt" t-shirts, so he was unable to inflict much damage before the team eluded him. Nonetheless, it sounded like a frightful incident. The video footage is positively pants-wetting. [ 09-08-2002, 03:41 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

The Doctor is impressed and pleased to have read such a fine essay! DFA is inclined to think that the slightly more open and cooperative attitude in climbing might stem from or be somehow linked to the fact that climbing is, for the most part, not a single-person pursuit. Perhaps, given the partner-based nature of climbing, and the constant back-and-forth reliance of one person on another, that the attitude of mutual supportiveness present between partners shows up in the climbing community at large. As contrasted with surfing, where there seems to be more of an emphasis on the person doing it, and the experience isn't shared with someone who has your life in their hands every step of the way. Maybe. Anyway, good read. [ 09-08-2002, 02:31 PM: Message edited by: Dr Flash Amazing ]

Just Louvre!

Bananas, aka monkey food, aka yellow potassium sticks, are necessary for rock climbers. Mangos are slippery and difficult to operate, not to mention they leave you with a large, unwieldy pit.

"great cheese, superb wine, and more places to ski and climb." Manchego, Primitivo, Siurana (presumably). Viva!
