Well, well mattp. It was about time you jumped into the fray in the thread that bears your avatar. How was the climbing last night?

This is a lot of crap. It assumes that supply and demand are completely price insensitive and that there will not be enough oil to meet the demand. This may be true over the short term due to volatility and speculation, but over the long term there will always be enough oil to meet the demand. Society will adjust to expensive oil by using less.

Oh, okay. At least you said albatross and not booby. Boobies have long wing spans too.

SC, Rudy meant to say that you actually float up the rock as if on gossamer wings, or something flowery like that. He was just a little challenged for the right words to express his admiration for you and it came out wrong.

I know the one! It's right on Bothell Way. Very convenient location. Clean and in good shape.

Sure. Same carpool plan, I guess. Issaquah Park and Ride, NW Corner 4:30 pm. I want to go to Gun Show and check out some new Burdo routes.

Come clean Dru. You were really heading out to Exit 38 to get yourself some of that sweet rhino stone.

56. People who complain about having to comply with the law because they find it inconvenient.

You mean to say that it wasn't your intent to offend the person. But it had that effect, nonetheless, and you don't care.

Case in point. A guy solicits information on boulder problems and you immediately start talking about shit. Who's being technical here? You were not DIRECTLY criticizing the guy. You were doing it indirectly by debasing the discussion. "leavenworth/ goldbar bouldering guide book #570595 - 05/07/06 09:46 PM i saw that someone was looking for info that people might have on bouldering in leavenworth and goldbar. i have a lot of info that i would love to give you. e-mail me @ brentdedens@hotmail.com and we'll talk. i'd love to see a decent bouldering publication, one to match our bouldering! -brent "

It looks like a 3.5.

Dru, go back to playing with your action figures, will you?

Before radar we depended on eyes to detect incoming bombers. That is what will be used as countermeasures for pilotless aircraft. For certain high value targets, such as the White House, it could be possible to keep pilotless drones aloft with robotic eyes. Antiaircraft fire would take down anything that is detected.

I can't make it tonight, but I'm going tomorrow (Thursday).

I suggest that you come to Pub Club next time we have one or coming to one of our Exit 38 outings on Wednesday nights, if you are local to Seattle, that is.

Walk up to a gathering of Greg Wall, Mike Adamson, and Ray Borbon at the local watering hole, and strike up a conversation in which you advocate for gun control.

I'm just wondering why they are holding those tits. Maybe they don't want to be held.

A friend of mine claims there are a couple of nice routes on the far right side of Icicle Buttress. Does anybody have any information on them? How long they've been there, rating, FA, etc

It took an act by the State Legislature, didn't it? Why don't our people in Olympia do THEIR job and make it rain on weekdays?

Oh, did it rain in Seattle? It wasn't raining in Vantage.

He cleans up nice, doesn't he?

What do you call that sort of rock? It looks like a conglomerate. Those are very good pictures, but how about some pictures with people in them?

Cinco de Mayo is a big thing in the US, but it's like Armistice Day in Mexico. It's ho hum for them. We like it because it got associated with drinking somehow. That's good enough for some folk!

The "off" season lasts about 6 months, but it takes him 5 months to get a girlfriend. Once season starts it takes about 1 month to lose girlfriend. That gives him 2 months out of the year. Good enough.
