You were speaking in tongues. My bro is a doc on the VA/WV border. He has treated snakebites that came from Pentecostal activities.

iain you said you were a Pentecostal.

The Daly opens and closes like the door of a mercedes...perfectly balanced, finely machined.

I call this "don't want to work" mentality.

My problem with Bush is what he's doing to our relationships with other nations. The other issues go back and forth. Al 'Earth in the Balance' Gore and Billy Clinton were too hard-over for many of us, but if you liked what they did for the environment, etc., you'll have your day again relatively soon. The unmitigated disaster in the ME, our relationships with the other large powers in the world, these things are problems that take on lives of their own and change the course of history.

that thing won't load for me

I believe that mattp just called me an attention c__t. Them's fightin' inferences.

Have I misread sarcasm into your post? If so, I apologize, Mr. P.

We used to duck hunt with an old doctor friend of my dad's who farted a lot. The old guy fell in over his waders setting decoys one morning, and for an hour you could actually hear gurgling in his waders.

Since when did I call someone that or any other vulgar name? I was simply pointing out that the word has a long history. Why don't you do yourself a favor in future and just read past my posts?

Got any? A Baretta side-by-side for ducks, and a Charles Daly over & under bird gun. They remind me of many hours spent in duckblinds and in the field with my dad. Fine guns, with fine memories.

That IS offensive. That, along with rap music in general, does constitute mysogeny, IMO.

I agree with the other Rob. I also believe that for the most part the guys have respect for the girls in general. Girls rock! It's disappointing to know that after hundreds or even thousands of years of use, the "c-word" has come to connote a bad thing, since it refers to such a good thing. The c-word was used by the colonists. It was used in jolly old England. In Old German it was kunte. Hell, the root word is Latin, and the modern word cunnilingus literally translates as 'the man licking the vulva.' (Damn those 4 years of Latin were good for something!) Anyway, I think it's silly that we are reduced to only using the p-word, which frankly sounds childish sometimes. We need a larger vocabulary to communicate about such an important subject.

Not sure I believe you there trask. I made a decision about 8 years ago, after getting a concealed-carry permit, not to arm myself with a handgun. The reason? Self-knowledge. I'm a lover not a fighter, until somebody really threatens me...then I tend to get violent. I just decided that odds were I had more to lose carrying a handgun than not carrying one. I might kill or maim some worthless piece of shit, then get sued. So I don't buy the story that you'd turn and run if armed.

God I luv good pron.

exactly.

Can't you fuggers give credit where it is due? That was Iain's Joshua Tree. Iain is tha man. DFA hasn't put that much creativity into a post in months.

The WSJ spells it out. His climbing teammates kept their mouths shut until in 2001, when during a speech he made a comment to the effect that perhaps some of his teammates had hoped neither he nor Guenther would return. That popped the cork, and several of them have since said that he left Guenther near the summit, because he was determined to descend off the west side and make history. He claims that Guenther begged to go down the at-that-time unexplored west side. But his teammates point out that if Guenther were in such bad straights (AMS), wouldn't it have been much safer to descend where their fixed lines, tents, supplies, teammates were? There are lawsuits and counterlawsuits currently going on over several books (Messner's trying to get printings halted). This may be a bigger hoopla in the end than the Bonatti K2 dispute.

I don't have an online subscription, but the headline is It lays out the story of the 1970 Nanga Parbat climb, current controversy, and Messner's planned 2005 climb. Interesting fare for WSJ.
