d00d. you forgot Super Troopers! Who wants a mustache ride?

Tthat sounds good, but stay away from "Sweet Potato Mush"

that's retarded. if Life is what we were concerned with, we'd put somebody in jail everytime they scratched some living skin off themselves.

No kidding. If you figure that trick out you'll be a millionaire....or at least eating lunch at the millionaire's club...

when I try to rotate a pic it just fucks it up. It never actually rotates (even though it says Image Rotated!). computers are neat, except when they aren't.

Sweet!

Bad spellers suck. So do people that can't get to, two, and too correct (though I have to admit I always fuck up then and than). Punctuation is a bit different on a message board though. You're trying to convey pauses and breaks, especially when being sarcastic. That's hard to do when following all the rules.

You got a job? Slacker. Naw really, Congrats and cheers!

The United States had offered a $25 million bounty for Saddam and $15 million for each of his sons. --guess that'll save the government some money.

talk amongst yourselves i'm the link

no gaitors?

No bikes in the National Park. Plus, there are a lot of notches cut out of the trail for streams to run through. I'm sure you could jump most of them, but I would fear for the one you don't see until it's too late.

Could've sworn i posted yesterday, but i don't see it here. Computer smart. Eternal dumb. Anyway. I was on the trip with AlpinFox and he already posted the details in a previous thread. Basically the weather was great, the trail was very clear with steps kicked all the way to the top. It was pretty slushy when we went though and it seems like the stability of snow bridges is rapidly decreassing.

damn those short weeks. screws me up. on a side note i caught A Mighty Wind last night and laughed my ass off.

Werd. No soccer tonight so I might be able to make it at aronud 9 or so.

Post back on the details as soon as you get back. we're leaving the morning of the 7th to do the same thing. Good luck!

on that topic

yea...i should've bought at REI where everything is more expensive and made in China!

It's about time to print up a page with all the record companies that pay the RIAA and use it every time you go into a record store so you know what NOT to buy.

Fuck the boot in the face, Thinker. Meet the threat in the MOST violent way possible; especially in your own home, with the lives of loved ones at stake. Good job, Trask; sorry you and your family had to go through that horrifying experience. Right....is a 'really drunk' kid is a terrible threat to an average guy? Drunk = irrational and slow reflexes. How much of a threat is that? A swift kick and tossing the MF out the door should get the point across. So did your daughter help you mop up the gore? Did she enjoy finger painting with his brains, knowing they were splattered all over the walls in her honor? It's probably a troll, anyway. You know, it's really easy to sit here and draw conclusions about the mental state of somebody after the fact, but I want to see your response when you are awoken in the middle of the night by somebody trying to force their way into your daughter's room. It's not exactly like you have time to sit down and analyze the situation.

I've now been burned twice by customs in the last month. First, i sold a cheap digital camera to a guy through ebay for $70 US. I paid UPS $11 US to ship the camera surface and then customs hit the guy up for $45 CDN. $9 CDN for customs and a $36 service fee. After a cople weeks of wrangling they brought down the charge to $30 CDN total. Next, I just went to buy some gear from MEC for a trip on July 7th and they can't guarantee they can get it here in time because of customs. They can only send it surface and it would have to be delivered by next thursday with the holiday and all. Why the hell is it such a big deal to ship things from Canada to the US and vice-versa?! It's exactly afghanistan. I'd be up for annexing that damn country if I wasn't so sure we'd fuck it up. Maybe Canda can be a good capitalist and just buy us. All they would have to do is assume all debt, right?

oh boo hoo. You're a RETAIL CLERK. You aren't worth more then the $ they pay you because you are replaceable. There are plenty of people out there that can do your job. It's like that in almost every industry. Now why would REI pay slightly more for their clerks then anyone else? Well, they might think that paying a little more to keep a few experienced clerks around is good for selling gear. Some people actually can spot the ones who know what they are talking about versus the ones who can only read the labels. However, in a store like REI, you only need a few 'rockstars'. Just like in the world I work in, you only need a few 'rockstar' programmers, the rest are becoming replaceable, which is why you're seeing dev salaries stabalize and in a lot of cases, come down. Unionizing does not help the situation. It is your job as a person seeking more money to make yourself more valuable. It's not the company's job. Having said tha, I just made an order from MEC

can you have your boss give me one too?

Unionize? unions don't make sense any more. If you don't like your job or pay, quit.
