Whatevs. It never rains at Smith, pinche punteros!

"TAAAAAAKE!"

Quite so ... or the funky Bavarian bakery/bagel store over near there. Total chaos, but tasty goods.

There are a few hotels out where the parkway meets the interstate, which is where DFA and posse stayed last year. Distance-wise, it's sorta far, but time-wise, it's pretty quick, ca. 20 minutes to the crag. Plus there's a Wild Oats and an In-n-Out out there. Hooked up a good deal through travelocity.com .

Hard to beat the combo of Stand and Deliver/Bend Over and Receive at Smith.

Depends on how motivated you are, and if there's a local climbing gym that you and/or your friends usually attend. In DFA's experience, most home walls are met with an initial outpouring of stoke, but enthusiasm usually dwindles as people get back to their more usual, more convenient, gym routine. If you've got a motivated posse, though, without other training options or gym commitments, the home gym could kick ass. Give it a good honest assessment, is all. If you don't think you'd get tons of use out of it, just think how far the hundreds or thousands you'd spend on the home wall could get you on a road trip. Cha-ching!

Federal inmate?

You might wanna get that checked out, compadre.

Well, duh. But if he self-destructs his own evil administration? That could slightly decrease his relative evilness, at least a little.

Fixed. Peruse at will.

Hmmm ... some potentially rift-inducing turnabout in the White House? We can only hope!

Since NBC will air it.

An' then Ducktales is on after that! Whaddayagonnado?!

Oy, gevalt! That was such a lame deal. Russian guy spent more time flipping and spinning through the air, huge-like no less, than he did touching the bar. He should have posted like a 9.9 for that action. Seems like there have been a lot of little and not-so-little scoring inconsistencies in gymnastics. Like the Greek guy winning on the rings the other night? Hello? Not even close to gold-worthy. Piss on lame judges.

Kubiak to DFA, from the bottom of Aggro Gully, at maximum volume, as the Doctor was TRing Scene: "Don't use THAT sequence! That's the gay Canadian way!" Dr. Flash Amazing is like, 'who the fuck is this guy'?

Nahhh, DFA's holding out for "The Heckler", which quickly and easily ridicules short punter-wankers right off of their projects. Due out in October '04!

It is obvious from the idiotic comments in this thread that the people who decry brushing have no basis for their distaste other than the fact that the brushing is being carried out by people who climb harder than they do. You are the same ass-clowns who think that people who climb hard are egotistical assholes, even though you've never talked to one. Insecure fuckstickholes. You need to come to terms with your feelings of inadequacy or keep your whiny yaps shut.

Huh? Did somebody say OXYGEN? Bring it! Let's hear it for: - juniper treez - volcanic dust on hands and ropes - sore knuckles and toes - crisp, clear weather - din-din at Mazatlan or the Brewhouse - sussing, sieging, and sending those projex - etc., etc., etc.

Yeah, chalk doesn't stick to the rock in cracks, because trad climbing is more better than sport climbing is dumb.

Peeps who don't brush are bunk. BRUSH OR DIE, SUCKAZ!

Crashpad manufacturer Pad Industries had a sticky rubber neoprene knee-bar pad thingus. Dunno if they are still in bizness or not. Seems like there might've been another company making them too, but DFA's memory has let the name slip. Alternately, there was a Tech Tip in Climbing mag awhile ago about making your own, using a standard neoprene knee brace, and stitching/gluing on a sheet of sticky rubber (presumably thinner rand material, not 5-millimeter-thick stuff that goes on shoe soles). Apparently Tommy Caldwell used a sticky rubber knee rig to send Flex Luthor, and he used some kind of spray adhesive AND duct tape to ensure that it didn't slip for the critical kneebar.

"Double-D Dyno!"

"And now, honey, a little move ol' Dru likes to call 'The Backdoor Backstep'!"

Not just kitsch! Check for wee gems!
