I think Stephen Malkmus takes the prize. I love anything by him and crank the Pavement up LOUD. Here's one of my fav's. Ice baby, I saw your girlfriend and she was Eating her fingers like they’re just another meal But she waits there In the levee washes Mixin’ cocktails with a plastic-tipped cigar My eyes stick to all the shiny roses You wear on the protein delta strip In an abandoned house but I will wait there I’ll be waiting forever... I’ll wait and wait and wait... Minerals, ice deposits daily, dropped off The first shiny robe I’ve got a lot of things I want to sell, but Not here, babe-- tortuuurreeee... Every time I sit around I find I’m shot Every time I sit around I find I’m shot Every time I turn around I find I’m shot Every time I sit around I find I’m shot Every time every time... You’re my... summer babe Summer babe

FYI... King County has closed the Middle Fork road about 15 miles below the Goldmyer ford because of road damage, probably due to rain and saturated soils. The closure is close to the double wide cement bridge.

Unimog!

Jeesh, sorry, my fault

I can't believe nobody's brought up Mullets yet

Montrail has just been aquired by Columbia News Link

Rodney Allen Rippey - I couldn't find a picture of him then, but this is probably what he looks like now.

I don't know about you, but I've come to really like this stuff

that's OK -- we used to think men under 30 were cool. then we realized how much work it is to train them *where's the whip cracking icon when i need it* I love women over 30 and pay extra for whip-cracking. Well then come right in and make yourself comfortable. Since when do you like them to be comfortable? Are you turning a new, softer more gentle, leaf in front of our very eyes? I always knew you were just a big softies! Hey Guys, Kirk's talking about Archie's big softies

Thanks for digging up the origins of Pub Club. Here's to Beck

Look forward to wallowing through snow.

Looks more like Dave Schuldt on a bad hair day

Yeah, makes it much easier to do this

RIGHT ON!! I'd a thought your finger's would've ended up numb popsicles though.

You'll need slings and biners too. Eight to twelve 24" sewn spectra slings is a good start. Try to keep them the same color so you can quickly identify single vs. doubles. I use two to four doubles to supplement this (especially for wandery alpine routes.) People will rack differently, but I tend to rack my singles in trippled quickdraw fashion with two biners each. If so, two dozen lightweight wire gate biners is a good start. Again, I'll pick a specific style or color to quickly identify which go with my slings. Also a general buying tip, you'll get discounts buying in quantity, so it's more expensive to buy things one off the way you are. Save your pennies in a piggy bank and make a larger purchase all at once.

I used to think I was unbreakable. Then I turned thirty

You're telling this to a total noob. A lot of us started out that way and are just plain lucky we're still around. It took my roommate getting hit with a rock to wake me up. Why not stack the odds in your favor, read a book, find a mentor, or get some training... jeesh.

Have you seen Kingdom of Heaven? Duh

He's French, right
