"Let California fall into the fucking ocean! Let California fall into the fucking ocean! Let California fall into the fucking ocean!" - Rancid

You just ate your first eggplant? Wow, congratulations, that's amazing. And you're how old?

Howard Zinn's 'A People's History of the United States'. Picking it up again after losing steam/interest about a third of the way through the first time. Interesting thoughts on the evolution of what is now the two-party system, and interesting to see how politicians back in the 1800s were using red herrings and false choices even then to keep the public content and feeling like they had some power. Learning is fun; burn down the government!

Athena Technologies loudspeakers review.

Oops, it's the Polk Lsi7, and it appears to be 800 bucks, not ca. $300. Sorry. For some more in-depth info, try this or this, and for other shopping possibilities, go here.

Mr. Necronomisatanrockerconvict: Dr. Flash Amazing recommends that you seek out your local Hi-Fi store (NOT your local big-box electronics retailer, mind you), and look for speakers from JM Lab, specifically the JM Lab Chorus 705. It should be around 300 bucks (possibly a little more), and will seriously outperform most anything else in that price range, and a lot of stuff above that price range. These little beauties have been consistent faves among hi-fi snobs who spend more on their stereos than on their cars. DFA has the floor-standing version (the Chorus 710), and he loves them (currently rocking the Less Than Jake at head-knocking volumes). If you ain't got a fancy boutique hi-fi store in your local slum, seek out Good Guys! (it might be Best Buy, but pretty sure it's GG!), who now carries Athena loudspeakers. These babies, which come from Canadia, are rumored to rock your socks way harder than anything at their price point has any right to, and you can probably get into a decent floor-standing speaker for around 300, or a bit less for a bookshelf. Barring either of the above, Polk has a fairly well-regarded little bookshelf (625i or something like that) that should be cheap and reliably rocking. Also, the reason you may have blown your cones in the first place is not enough power. Make sure you're not driving your amp harder than it can handle, which is a surefire way to fucking trash your speak's. Good luck, ese.

You must got the old version of PRC. DFA could find no such mention of anything remotely Ramonal on the given page.

Full Heinous with only the original 2 or 3 bolts.

What? A trad Climbin' Messiah? Listen, you old-school trads are obviously the Jews of the climbing world, with Dwayner, Pope, et al as the Pharisees. They laid the groundwork and they stick to their legalistic interpretation of climbing, but they're never gonna change. See, according to the prophet Yaniro (one of the first to Train, and one of the first to trade his heathen rack for humble quickdraws and plastic) the Climbin' Messiah is gonna come down preaching hellFires and limestone, and is going to show you the clip-up to heaven, and also how using the DBBB to tie in is the right thing to do after all. But of course when Jingus I'llstickclipit (who never could quite grasp the importance of a good cardio foundation for those hard sends, and was always more interested in posing down and spraying than really working the Messiah's projects) sells out the Climbin' Messiah, Pontius Pope will be all too happy to have Him bolted to the Churning Buttress in his last Rose move (or so we think). But even after his triumphant resurrection from his three-day burial at Easy's Playhouse, his subsequent onsight of the entire Aggro Wall, his miraculous invention of the wiregate biner, and finally his bold new fully-bolted sport route up El Cap (all foretold in the book of Watts), the Trads still won't believe it. DFA's been tryin' to help y'all out all along, but no one wants to listen. Better repent before you gets turned into a pillar of chalk!

"Them lib'rals think I'm such a square, but look at me now! I'm a goldang triangle! A TRIANGLE! Eat that, Democrackers!"

Well? If he was sending a longstanding project, would it be relevant then? Seems like a pretty good, concise photo caption. Here's person x doing thing y on problem z which is rated vblahblahblah. Seems like it's only chestbeating if the person reading the caption doesn't warm up on V4s.

Note that 12 does not equal teen.

"and we'll sink with California when it falls into the sea" - Youth Brigade

"... when all of a sudden, Trask gives me the reacharound!"

Cripes, that reads like satire. Perhaps it is? The last few lines alone especially. George Bush, pushing for "transparency in public administration"?! That'll be the fucking day.

They're hardly implants if they're not in the patient, now are they, Dr. Smartypants?

Given divorce rates of late, probably not. People are too eager to call it quits and call in the lawyers instead of being willing to work shit out. Then again, given gay men's need to be with more than one partner at a time (which, if you believe Dan Savage, is just a fundamental trait of being a man), maybe they're not too far off from the breeders as far as astronomical divorce/split-up rates.

The term "excuse" implies that Dr. Flash Amazing would prefer to be hanging out with his in-laws rather than chalkin' up, hollerin' beta, and miming sequences (and maybe doing some climbing), which is patently false. So stick your little sniping implications up your stinky jam-crack, buster.

Looks like there's gonna be a visit from ... (drumroll, please) ... the INLAWS! (crash!)

It looks just like all the other little welded tuff bouldering areas dotting the landscape around Bend, but more rad. It's probably like 5 minutes from town. Maybe Gaper the Timmy knows something about it. He should, as a Central O resident!

Poetic prose if ever there was such.

? Not that DFA is or ever was a Circle Jerks fan, but just for the record, note the lack of barricades, security, or concern for safety of any sort. This is what the fuck a punk rock show is supposed to look like. Get your Vans in the air!

Is that a crag just above and to the left of our Fearless Leader's head? Just above the second hill behind him? Kinda blurry and hard to tell. Maybe the Crawford Ranch is home to the future of modern sports climbing!

What is a haiku? And who is Larry the Tool? DFA gives up!
