Seattle dudes, you have my sympathy: you have bad urban planning. Like LA, just pretty much let it happen. It's is much more difficult to put the genie back in the bottle if you haven't prepared your question in advance. Not only that, but then you have to keep paying these costs forever via crowded traffic and very expensive land purchases later to correct oversights that should have been obvious at the start had anyone bothered to think of it. In southern WA, your Vancouver brothers were given a vote to join Portland when Portland installed the light rail. They were going to get a financial break on the light rail to PDX by suckering the feds into a lot of the bill. They voted no. Traffic coming from Vancouver to Portland was bad then. Now, years later, for a short spot on 1-5, it is in the top ten worst corridors in the country, ie real real bad. Now they want a bridge. 4 billion is the estimate. They want you, and me, to help pay for that. Unlike you, I occasionally use that bridge, mostly to go climbing. Could have had a light rail extension for less, and they could have tossed bikes on and gotten into work about anywhere fast. There would have been no need for a bridge as it's rush hour when the current bridge is absurdly jammed up. I'd support a toll. I'd dislike paying it, but it's a lot fairer than making YOU pay for a bridge you never ever use, and which should have been not needed had your bros voted to approve light rail years ago.

I have something going or I would for sure. To anyone else considering: I met her at the Butte last year and shes OK in my book.

Oh crap, did I sleep through that election and it's now President Obama? Damn. I got to stop doing that:-0

If they do McCain, I hope that it's as grandpa Simpson, and it's on the editorial page where it belongs. Cause I'd laugh my ass off over that.

The New Yorker got edged into that by one of the Senators from New York I am betting. Obama didn't think it was funny, I didn't think it was funny, and I will bet Obamas wife didn't appreciate being made out to be the extremist American-Hating communist-loving Angela Davis either. Even McCain didn't appreciate it. It seems to me that kind of thing, if it was truly satire, should have been on the editorial page with the full explanation and something declaring it an "Editorial". I'm sure Hillary, Senator from New York, got quite the chuckle out of it like you appeared to get. It was speculated that this kind of thing would be pitched underhandedly by the Hillary camp, and perhaps even continue throughout an Obama Presidency, I, for one, am sad to see it happen and believe it to be unfunny and mean-spirited bullshit of the highest (lowest) order. Maybe this Porter thing below has some truth! Can it be modified so that it's Obama laying there? Cause that would be hilarious! Especially if that Black crewmember is waving the New Yorker cover around as he jumps back!

You may know a lot of things, but you don't know shit about Kevin if thats how you genuinely feel. Kevins a pretty good dude. Not perfect, just a nice person. I've heard that from others who know him too.

So the rest of the pack immediately rushed over to the McCain spokesperson like hounds on the scent and asked "What do you think about what the Obama spokesperson said, he said it was "tasteless and offensive" Whatda think whadaya think? HUH? Dude said "I agree". End of quote. Classy on everyones part except for the lowlifes at the publication IMO.

"The Iraqi Olympic team was greeted with a roaring ovation at the opening ceremony of the Athens Games in 2004. That was the country's first Olympics after the fall of Saddam and Odai, who as head of the Iraqi Olympic committee tortured athletes who failed to reach his standards." To those who have endured so much, I have great sympathy. This is damn sad. I suppose they'll just turn a blind eye to that mu@&$^%er Robert Mugabe so he can keep on F*ing his people in the ass as he and his thugs manipulate the current election?

8 track tapes, pop tarts, lazing around Blue Lake park all summer. Working at McDonalds when I was 14 and having a key to open the store in the morning before lunch, at 10 am. 1968, Carl Buscels Road Runner car with a spoiler.

Nice reply!

Welcome Dave, BTW, I totally agree that anything worth saying once is worth saying twice. I bought 5.

You're welcome Dave, BTW, I totally agree that anything worth saying once is worth saying twice.

Dohhh! Checks in the mail:-)

Uhhh, Not.

It's like what the Monkey said when he peed into the cash register dude. "This is going to run into money."

The stainless Fixe rap rings rate to 12,500 lbs. Your rope will blow first. The older aluminum SMC's rate to 3,000 and are hollow, thus ensuring that as they rapidly wear and rapidly weaken, you will have no idea how strong they are. I was castigated once for clipping 2 that were doubled together at Smith. However, the rope ran much better, so I thanked them for the reminder, shrugged my shoulders and left it alone. So I clip them if the situation warrants and it's dependent on what they are and how they are situated. It's generally better to reduce the length of the chain of things that can go wrong and just clip the bolts or as close as you can all other things being equal. But thats me. Your results may vary.

The folks you love to hate have the best locker that is rarely on sale on sale now. Link $10.93 each. Only 48 grams and you can easily use a Munter Hitch on it.

That won't sell books.

Admit it, you voted for the Monkey. Twice.

I would bet you $10,000 straight up that you cannot find anything anywhere to substantiate this as being true. That is: other than a falsehood and a rumor. $10 grand. I challenge you to find that law. It isn't there is it?

I knew it was a hoax, but it's still "pretty disgusting." I first saw that 5 or so years ago. My savvy buddy Dave explained to me that the point of that website was to prove a point to me that was exactly what I felt. That is: the bullshit we see on the internet is often false and often bullshit and often pretty disgusting, but usually just bullshit. My point to him then which I still feel is that it's still pretty disgusting.

Point is, they are taking away our freedoms one little nail into the coffin at a time. We are all getting the shaft, sometimes in ways not seen or known, but it's occurring as we type (and they monitor it). See any or all of the bru-ha-ha over some of the recent anti-terrorism laws for instance. And this is all coming under and during the alleged "Free Market" dudes leadership. What does that tell ya?

Was it a Leatherman? Made right here in Ptown. No, that was the thing about that story Kev, it was a cheap Chinese knockoff his Aunt had given him for a gift that didn't have hard steel. This was noted when he tried to work the rock down before he was forced to hack the arm. It wasn't up for the job. Hard to say if the better steel of a Leatherman would have hacked the rock and spared the arm...guess well never know unless mythbusters heads over that way. I suppose the moral of the story is "Hack the rock and spare the arm".

Yeah? Whats the rating?
