For those of you who are familiar, Darryl made fark.com yesterday. That's kind of like a posthumous medal in the geek community.

A man walks into an office. Man: Good morning, I'd like to have an argument, please. Receptionist: Certainly, sir. Have you been here before? Man: No, this is my first time. Receptionist: I see, well we'll see who's free at the moment. Mr. Bakely's free, but he's a little bit concilliatory. No. Try Mr. Barnhart, room 12. Man: Thank you. He enters room 12. Angry man: WHADDAYOU WANT? Man: Well, Well, I was told outside that... Angry man: DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU SNOTTY-FACED EVIL PAN OF DROPPING! Man: What? A: SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE MAKES ME PUKE! YOU VACUOUS STUFFY-NOSED MALODOROUS PERVERT!!! M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!! A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse! M: Oh! Oh I see! A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door. M: Oh...Sorry... A: Not at all! A: (under his breath) stupid git. The man goes into room 12A. Another man is sitting behind a desk. Man: Is this the right room for an argument? Other Man:(pause) I've told you once. Man: No you haven't! Other Man: Yes I have. M: When? O: Just now. M: No you didn't! O: Yes I did! M: You didn't! O: I did! M: You didn't! O: I'm telling you, I did! M: You didn't! O: Oh I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour? M: Ah! (taking out his wallet and paying) Just the five minutes. O: Just the five minutes. Thank you. O: Anyway, I did. M: You most certainly did not! O: Now let's get one thing perfectly clear: I most definitely told you! M: Oh no you didn't! O: Oh yes I did! M: Oh no you didn't! O: Oh yes I did! M: Oh no you didn't! O: Oh yes I did! M: Oh no you didn't! O: Oh yes I did! M: Oh no you didn't! O: Oh yes I did! M: Oh no you didn't! O: Oh yes I did! M: No you DIDN'T! O: Oh yes I did! M: No you DIDN'T! O: Oh yes I did! M: No you DIDN'T! O: Oh yes I did! M: Oh look, this isn't an argument! (pause) O: Yes it is! M: No it isn't! (pause) M: It's just contradiction! O: No it isn't! M: It IS! O: It is NOT! M: You just contradicted me! O: No I didn't! M: You DID! O: No no no! M: You did just then! O: Nonsense! M: (exasperated) Oh, this is futile!! (pause) O: No it isn't! M: Yes it is! (pause) M: I came here for a good argument! O: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an argument! M: An argument isn't just contradiction. O: Well! it CAN be! M: No it can't! M: An argument is a connected series of statement intended to establish a proposition. O: No it isn't! M: Yes it is! 'tisn't just contradiction. O: Look, if I *argue* with you, I must take up a contrary position! M: Yes but it isn't just saying "no it isn't". O: Yes it is! M: No it isn't! O: Yes it is! M: No it isn't! O: Yes it is! M: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says. O: It is NOT! M: It is! O: Not at all! M: It is! The Arguer hits a bell on his desk and stops. O: Thank you, that's it. M: (stunned) What? O: That's it. Good morning. M: But I was just getting interested! O: I'm sorry, the five minutes is up. M: That was never five minutes!! O: I'm afraid it was. M: (leading on) No it wasn't..... O: I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to argue any more. M: WHAT?? O: If you want me to go on arguing, you'll have to pay for another five minutes. M: But that was never five minutes just now! Oh Come on! Oh this is... This is ridiculous! O: I told you... I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you PAY! M: Oh all right. (takes out his wallet and pays again.) There you are. O: Thank you. M: (clears throat) Well... O: Well WHAT? M: That was never five minutes just now. O: I told you, I'm not allowed to argue unless you've paid! M: Well I just paid! O: No you didn't! M: I DID!!! O: YOU didn't! M: I DID!!! O: YOU didn't! M: I DID!!! O: YOU didn't! M: I DID!!! O: YOU didn't! M: I-dbct-fd-tq! I don't want to argue about it! O: Well I'm very sorry but you didn't pay! M: Ah hah! Well if I didn't pay, why are you arguing??? Ah HAAAAAAHHH! Gotcha! O: No you haven't! M: Yes I have! If you're arguing, I must have paid. O: Not necessarily. I *could* be arguing in my spare time.

I have heard that that is the proper way to do it, yes, but I think it varies from paper to paper and printer to printer. Some of the waterproof "papers" are in fact, plastic, and may melt in a laser printer. That is the extent of my knowledge...

Nov 1st, 2004-- the proponents have decided to drop their proposal. Crosspost from the Access forum, read about it here: Thread in other forum. Let's keep discussion in that thread... maybe a mod could lock this thread??

Or go bling bling and get the colour laser printer and print on waterproof paper.

Long post... deserving subject. Email from a friend, quoted with permission. The pdf files referred to will be attached to this and two posts following. This is the CASBC Access Alert from August 22nd. This repeats some of the info from the CASBC Access Alert and is from Kevin McLane and the Squamish Access Society on August 23rd. 386455-chiefgondola-lettertotheminister.pdf

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring it!!!

Rudy - don't be so mean to Paul. You really need to get out climbing or something brotha.

yeah, but the real question is WHERE IS DA FRESHIEZ, then a proper mountain forecast can be useful.

There is one here (scroll down), for the Whistler area, but I don't actually know of a decent one like the noaa. There is a fair bit of info available at the CAA weather page.

Yes, I do.

Two cowboys, one from Alberta, one from Oregon... They are out riding the fences together, and they spot a sheep with it's head stuck. They look at each other knowingly, and give a little steaksauce and smile. The Alberta boy jumps off his horse, walks over to the sheep, drops his pants, and has his way... As he is walking back over to his horse, he looks at the OR cowboy, and says, "OK Partner, your turn." The other cowboy hops off his horse walks over to the fence, drops his pants, then gets down and sticks his head in the fence...

Rain?? It's not raining here.... I guess it did sprinkle a little on Saturday though...

I don't think that marylou uses the public school system, AFAIK... so Red Herring!!!

Obviously you are not even in agreement with yourself, how can you expect to convince me otherwise???

Just when you thought it was safe to go out in the mountains again... high elevation tornadoes!!

wuss, it's been raining for what, like three days now!!! OMFG suxtobeyou. Guess what... Winter is coming... then you can whine about being sick of the rain, after, like, day 58...

COCKEYED.COM RAWKS MY WORLD

I have always felt that there are a lot of really good stories about Squamish. Like the story of the FA of Genius Loci, or stories behind the name of routes. How about the hijinks of a certain Tami Knight? Squamish is small, and was really off the radar for a lot of people until recently, but it has it's own unique history that would be really interesting to hear. Yesterday, when I read that Darryl Hatten had died, I had the feeling that a project like this has to start soon, if it is to be complete. Some of the pioneers of this area are getting older, whether old enough to pass on, or simply old enough to forget the details , I think that a lot of good stories are going to be lost in the near future. I imagine a sort of anthology of short stories. Some historical photos might be nice too. For me the fact that so many of the "famous" climbers are simply your neighbour, or the guy who is coming to trim your trees, has always been a cool aspect of the climbing community. The drawback to that, I think, is that we don't neccesarily value the stories enough, as we always feel that we will be able to hear them again and again, because they will always be here, but eventually they won't. History is cool. OK, I admit, this is a pretty selfish post, as I have no intention (time, talent, whatever) of doing anything about it, but would love to know if anyone has thought of doing this, or has maybe even started. I will buy it if someone steps up to the plate though...
