Thanks Off!

Welcome stranger!

LOL Hound! Here's some pics to spice up Spray. As I like them better than the non-climbing photos being posted, I'm making them big. LOL! I took them out at the slash pile looking down at Ben Priestly and Scott Peterson doing the 4th ascent of The Salathe Highway route on the Old Witch pinnacle at the Coethedral Formation. Bon Apetite Woot!!!! Check these dudes out beyotches! Looking like little ants up there. Ben is in the Orange/leading. Panned out, Ben finishing the lead and is on top of the pinnacle. Ben belaying Scott up. close up with both: Scott said that for the 3rd ascent, he popped a grapefruit sized rock and fell onto his #2 Camalot. If you look up "Pant's filling moment" in Wikipedia, they have his surprised expression captured next to the definition I believe. Hope that helps things out around here. Oh, as an aside, I tried to wrestle that tree trunk off that looks like it's ready to roll off the top in the pics. It's still rooted pretty good and won't budge with out some hot sawing action -so it got left.

Catch you next time Teh Phyzzy Fortunately, not me as I will be playing hookey Fri and out doing real climbing on a 3 day trip. I am so looking forward to it Bryan! I'll work on both dropping 30 lbs and getting my belay skillz up to the 5.12 range so I an hang with ya:-)

Idunno. I'll consult the Talmud and get back to you. I've heard the explanation before, but it's better to not try and duplicate it in words as I'm sure it's been done more thoroughly than I could here. Certainly if, after watching the Israeli commandos kill some Turkish dudes on a flotilla if I heard anyone mutter in exasperation "Fucking Israelis" or Fucking Jews", in my mind that wouldn't be a racist comment by itself any more than if someone said "Fucking Pentecostals"...over something about that group that annoyed them. My neighbors are Penecostals and great people, but I'd understand the comment. I made a similar mistake once when I heard an exasperated person claim that "the Samoans were taking over". It later turns out that they had bought every house on the block, including hers which she was renting. Every damn one. She turned out to be one of the least racist persons I've ever met. It was just a factual statement which I misunderstood the first go round. One of my wife's closer friends at the time, who was just a sweetheart of a nice person, was Samoan and I at first took the comment as offensive. I see many people rush to similar judgment in similar things around here, especially jb. I suspect if we could get jb to tell us who he really is, he'd be nicer and less judgmentally wrong all the time.

If you've been looking for a great ice cream recipe, look no further. Bon Apetite

...were you in Yosemite once, and there were hundreds if not thousands of asswipes leaving all of their trash laying all around, tents, lanterns, camp chairs, books, eyeglasses on picnic tables, etc etc.....sorry, joking. Good luck getting it back, recently up here, some assjack cut someones rope they'd left coiled on top of a cliff 98 percent through and then left it. It was pretty close to murder but it got caught by the climber at the last moment....

Not at all, be my guest. I will say - at the risk of being called racist again: Chechen isn't a race. Neither is Muslim. Someone who says something disparaging about Chechen or Muslims or Chechen Muslims alone based on a single mother killing her Westernized Daughter isn't a racist. I realize now that you think a person claiming such is a racist, or that even someone who suggests that a person who says that disparaging comment about Chechen Muslims is not a racist then becomes one in your eyes. I hope that helps you along in your own personal naivety scene as well. ...and now, back to your usual scheduled stupidity falsely attacking others for your own perceived impressions about there believes.....whew, in fact, I'm really done talking to you at all.

So be it then, obviously I fall far behind you in the insulting game although you still remain a mean spirited dumbass and a Fuckwit. Another quality exchange which you have initiated. Assmunch. Hey, I'm getting better at this. If it keeps up, maybe in a year I can play in your league you loathsome bleeding hemorrhoid!

'ere we go

Thank you! In fact I haven't been playing with jb for long and had forgotten it. Isn't that 2 words.... "Cock Stain". A full sentence as jb might use it in his political discourse threads to help people understand his viewpoint might then be "you fucking fuckwit jackass Cock Stain." I will defer to Ivan as he is a teacher and will know this.

Try and keep up, I think that this is the thread which one must end every sentence with a word like "fuckwit" or "jackass".

Well what do ya know: that's the same with me you worthless, ignorant, parasitical piece of shit. .....See, we have that in common! well that was a valueless exchange.

Anyone need a belay bitch tonight after work? I can still belay up to 5.9 even if I am turning into a weak assed pussy. You pick the line and I'll struggle up it.

One thing jb and I could probably find many points of agreement on is the role of globalization in forcing down and lowering US wages. I've sadly seen many jobs go to China in the name of lowering costs for us consumers and increasing company profits. It's a good thing on the one hand (who goes to the store and wants to pay more for all of their items?) and it's damn scary and extremely worrisome to me at the same time. I don't know what to do and I have conflicting thoughts: protectionism has been shown to have real bad outcomes for the total economy and who wants to pay over $5,000 for a wide screen TV that they can get off the shelf (made in China) for $890?

Well jb, I agree with Rob. With all of your crazy personal attacks on every thread you post on, the rest of us are left assuming that you are projecting your own inner angry "racist fuck" with your incessant and unnecessary projecting attacks on everyone....you should look into Rob's blowjob idea. So much anger inside of you there, get out and climb something will ya. Sometimes you seem like you could be a nice person.

This just seems so wrong on so many levels.... "BrewDogs strongest beer is packaged inside the bodies of dead animals" "A diamond encrusted bottle, perhaps an 18 carat solid gold bottle top? Scottish company, BrewDog, are set to make history by selling the world’s strongest, most expensive and most shocking bottles of beer. At a mere $765 a bottle, you’d be entitled to have some extraordinary expectations, but “The End Of History” is guaranteed to shock even those with the wildest imaginations. With the average beer being around 5% alcohol, BrewDog’s invention is 55% alcohol and comes served in roadkill! That’s right, the bottle is served within the body of a dead squirrel. Only 12 bottles were made and incredibly, they are now completely sold out with buyers coming from Canada, Italy, Denmark, Scotland, England and the US. They mystery buyers, are now eagerly awaiting delivery, with BrewDog expected to ship the bottles out next week. While some have argued that the beer is an expensive novelty, others have branded it cruel, sick and warped. The buyers of “The End of History” beers, whoever they may be, will no doubt find their purchase to be a true conversational piece when it goes on show."

OK -time to put up or shut up, how much more than your competitors are you paying YOUR employees? Maybe I should walk away from this and go to work for you, oh blessed great employer jb who does so much for so many. I must have been wrong about you as strictly based on your posts you sound like a know-nothing parasite. How many employees do you have?

As I read this you are encouraging folks to not argue with you. bye!

Money sucking parasites, such as yourself, certainly would feel that way. However, there are more public sector jobs than ever and they are better paid than ever. It's fucking out of control. We need to reduce the size of government, not enlarge it. That includes the military AND this massive bureaucracy. That unwarranted attack on Jayb is obviously just more pettiness, stupidity and smallness of mind on your part in a way to throw off the important issues and so that you can remain a parasite. Seriously, what positive things have YOU ever done for the country? Bitching about things that don't matter on a climbing bulletin board are excluded in case you think this matters at all: which it don't. You ever create one job? Create anything of value? Do anything?

If Prole and jb are the same, I'd like to ask jb to drop the jb and just go with Prole, Prole seems nicer.

Maybe these are YOUR wars and BUSH was your boy Matt. I voted for Kerry and was outraged when Geo W Bush et al choose to commit our country to war in Iraq. For jb to indicate otherwise is just stupidity on his part. Show me a post of mine where I ever supported starting these wars or supported the Bush administration borrowing this country into hell. I will say that after we had been years in Iraq, AFTER we'd spent the countries treasure and AFTER they'd spent about 750,000,000 on the new embassy there, it did not make sense to me that we would just get up and walk away leaving the country to fall apart. As far as your group being dedicated and underpaid Matt, it warms my heart with gladness to hear the first part. You sound blessed with a good group. However, I have never heard of any Federal Worker being underpaid, although it may be true with a person here or a group there (lawyers, for instance) in fact study after study indicates the reverse. Furthermore, the Federal government appears to me to be much like an ever expanding and out of control unstoppable entity hell bent on getting bigger at the expense of our freedoms. States and local governments vary radically per each location, and they are dwarfed by the Feds power and reach as well. We, as a country, MUST get the massive federal government, our trade account balance, and our budget under control, (military spending is a huge part of this) IMO there is no bigger issue for us.

You and your type are so busy talking that you don't read at all - do ya. Your false attacks are just that. It may make you feel intelligent, but for everyone reading- it has the opposite effect.
