I can understand Wilson, the MF who was going to keep us out of WW1. However, how did we make a full page with no Warren Harding (not the climber) or Herbert Hoover? Bush isn't even on the same page. Forgotten terms? "Teapot Dome Scandal" "Hooverville"! Mal-con got Buchanan, he's on the list too.

It starts.... http://www.swissinfo.ch Switzerland, the land of the Schweitz- burrrrrr! "October 30, 2008 - 9:00 AM Record snow storm triggers delays Snow flurries throughout the night and early morning caused numerous delays for travellers using Switzerland's rail system on Thursday. A heavy, wet snow snapped trees, which fell across tracks. The most affected regions included Zurich, Schaffhausen in the north and the areas around the Gotthard pass in central Switzerland. Passengers moving between Spiez and Interlaken south of Bern were forced to take buses when rail service there was interrupted around 7am. Broken branches and trees blocked roads. Farmers in the Bernese Oberland also awoke to snow-related problems. Damaged fences allowed their cows to wander freely. According to MeteoNews, the Swiss lowlands received the most snow for any October since records began in 1931. Zurich received 20cm, beating a record of 14cm set in 1939"

Coast Guard boot camp and 3 months duty doesn't count you know. That whole being in the military thing is more difficult than it seems. I figure anyone who can take more than 2 years (my max tolerance) may be pretty bad-assed.

Bring some pics and they'll upgrade it to the Rock Climbing thread:-) Good on ya for getting on it! Damn nice for this time of year. Hey, any of you folks bitching about your kids: I'm offering a trade, Jack Russells for kids. I'll send these damn mutts right along. One of them started barking at Racoons last night and the other had to join in the action too. 1-2AM! at 5:30AM the garbageman comes and they start up again. @#$%&X dogs.

The whole thing was great. I was not drawn in until @ 1/2 way through, but the sucking sound could probably be heard next door. I felt like ripping out all the McCain Lawn signs in the neighborhood when it was over. I was going to include an autograph of Robert Kennedys wife Ethyl. She signed it for me in sympathy after the secret service knocked me flat, but it's in PDF.
-
LOL! Cya tomorrow, anyone else, be there too. I'll be the short fat balding old white guy with a Misty Mt harness.
-
Fine, I'll try to leave work earlier as well. Whhoo Hooo! Real climbing! (ie not bouldering). You give good belay? (mine is the top notch!)
-
Damn, what a bunch of nattering Nabobs of negativism.... Fine, cya, I'm off to buy some guns. Ammo too. Stocking up now. Aim Centurian has .223 US made Brass cased for $370 per thousand. Whhooo Hooo! Try to be nice to some folks...... mutter mutter....... Hey, thinking of that, what did that cost btw? I mean, I guess we still have real hungry and real tired and real poor still in the US and all.... I'm not knocking the thing, amazing speech, just wondering is all.... I had tears in my eyes at the end...Sadie May the Trailer park Floozie the dog was looking at me strangely!
-
Screw you guys...that speech/advertisement was unfriggan unbelievable, I don't care if you think you're Rush Limbaugh you'd still feel that way. I'm not joking, I really feel that way. I don't know how much money that cost, alot I know, but I think he got his moneys worth. Wow!
-
Fine, so you didn't watch it either. Just say so hey? BTW, when did they say that supermodel thing would happen...cause I wouldn't want to miss that kind of thing ...? Didn't see that on the platform, just balance the budget and reduce government and more personal responsibility blah blah blah...things some of us think are good things...abiet maybe not as good as a Supermodel blowjob of course. Balancing the budget again seems more real and important to me than sugarplums....Clinton did it in between supermodels:-).
-
You didn't watch Barak did ya? Wuz McCain on another channel guy? WTF? This was the "I have a Dream Speech" dude. Maybe with some of the Dream parts left out of course. Best infomercial ever.
-
Tempted to take off work...any chance you can do it AFTER work? Say @5pm (I'll leave early).
-
That was unfucking indescribable Porter. Not joking.
-
OMG! I WATCHED THE ENTIRE 1/2 HOUR. OMG! Masterful! At the end, I had tears in my eyes. I felt shame for having voted for some one other than Barak (Bob Barr- Libertarian), and I now more than ever totally understand how Hitler got 88% of the German population to support him. OMG, still wiping my nose and my eyes. How could you NOT vote for that man? I've seen some great speeches: Robert Kennedy on the stump in person speak, and I have never, EVER! seen anything like this one...WOW! Still emotional, Wow.

Gasp! Cracker! Sick. I thought I was a Cracker, having only been called that maybe twice, both times while drinking with my black skinned buddies, but learned late in life that I'm a actually Haole. Derogatory term for white person. I find it amusing that whenever I refer to myself as a Haole amongst SE islanders like big angry Samonans etc, they invariably think I'm immediately a drinking buddy and not someone they need to whack on the head with a Mao-mao stick or a coup stick. Which I find a very interesting and enjoyable trait: so we get along fine. Thus, I've come to associate Cracker and Haole as terms that mean only "Drinking Buddy". Hows that for some fucked up etymology? I got's me more if ya need it......... PS, I've learned that Obama is a Post Turtle.

I can understand the lesser of 2 evils, that MIGHT actually be the case here. However, inferring what the rest of the world wants is an interesting way for you to choose: interestingly and shockingly, although they can't agree on shit else, they agree on this - both the Palestinians and the Israelis support McCain. _____________________________________________________________ Same here, except I have trust issues on #3.

looking for slow, moderately skilled BC ski buddy

Crack me up! Start with low expectations and things will be fine I take it?:-) -
I don't see those words as anti-semetic, although anti-semitism was common then. That's your interpretation of a document made in different times. Jews were the only money lenders at that time, as the Bible forbade usurey. Most of the wars use to be financed by the Kings through borrowing from Jews: later that evolved and grew into banks and institutions...the Rothschilds, Warburgs, etc etc all started this way and it was a very viable way to make a living in a society that often stratified and restricted Jews from selling other things to the public at large. I sense that this thread just took a U-turn and is about to head another direction:-) ______________________________________________________________ How about we discuss the Weimar republic, one of the truest and more balanced democratic constitutions in the world, and how that devolved into a handful of Jews who chose not to be rounded up and gassed and they found a few armaments which resulted in them holding off the Wehrmacht in the Warsaw Ghetto? That could never happen here, we're better than that....right? Sure. It's like creeping incrementalism or death by a thousand cuts....little bit here, little bit there, pretty soon they got ya trapped in the sewer running for your life.

Can you post a few pics? As far as weenies goes, no one even showed up to boulder after work last night! So instead of just those 2 folks, maybe we'll have to expand the poseur list somewhat.....normally I'm the #1 Poseur on it, but get a pass this week as I was the only climber up there last night.

You're not still pissed at Biden for the whole plagiarizing thing though? link

Thanks Ivan. We're still waiting for the interpretation of the rules concerning the internet from the Magna Carta as well. We'll update you on that when it gets in. I put this point on another thread, it should have been on here. Like to add that a lot of the bullshit were in wouldn't have bene a big issue has some of these jackals exercised common sense. Here's one appropo. Bush announces we will be non-dependant on forigon oil in the future (YEAHHH!). He announces a 1 billion dollar federal initiative to jumpstart hydrogyn fuel cells (YEAHHH! fuel cells). Not ONE word about CONSERVATION. Which would cost nothing and be implemented immediately. Why is that? (Leave you to ponder it for yourself, I can't supply the answer as it defies common sense). We do need change. Bushes approval rating is 14% and even his supporters see stuff like this oil thing/Afganistan-Iraq invasion, the lies they got caught in to give them permission to attack (remember Colin Powell, Ambassador to Niger Wilson saying that the yellow cake was a make believe document and the administration then outing of his wife Valerie Palame as a CIA agent in retaliation and Scooter Libby, Cheneys assistant, going to jail for lying about it)? They see bullshit like that and go crazy. I'll hold my breath and cross my fingers that Obama can pull this one off, but I expect otherwise based strictly on his past experiences as I detailed elsewhere. Bottom line, to de-arm the only honest people in this equation (YOU my brothers) and change a system that has been working seems insane to me. Don't give more power to power crazy people.

Like you, watching some guy who every time he disagrees with anything and who thinks he's anonymous, starts every post with a rude personal attack that if he did that in person would see his ass handed to him and give him some teeth to pick up while he thought it over, is painful for me too. ps, glad to see you on the board anytime Mike. It adds balance.
