The Colonel's words were used out of context? That would not be a surprise.

Doh!

And all we need is a coordinator? A volunteer to take all the crap.

I need an efficient bio-diesel rig so I can tow my toxin-spewing two-cylider to the lake to poison your water. You must be referring to Lake Whatcom, the water supply for Bellingham.

Tricams should bite into sandstone and hold quite well, if you could manage to fiddle one in. Here's your application for JosephH modifications.

I'm in. How about something North of Ballard?

No, I was referring to a recent local (Seattle) event in which two young men were struck by a train they apparently couldn't hear because of the loud music they were listening to.

Busy tracks + night + fog + boom box = not good

Even a cursory examination would reveal the latter to be the case.

The rare instance Dru posts something meaningful and you dump on it. Well what goes around comes around, eh?

Yes, yes, yes, and No (you'll settle for V4 boulderers, 'cause that's all you'll attract by then).

I'll bet that Hell, MI freezes over on a regular basis. I also bet that its residents have heard this quip before.

Did you coin that word? Nagativity = Nagging + Negativity. Excellent.

Generally you want to make sure punctuation and spelling are correct in these kinds of statements...

None of us has all the facts so just keep pretending you know exactly what happened.

Nonsense, poopy-pants! No one can say for sure, but the GriGri could have made the difference between an ordinary leader fall and decking.

Thank heavens the belayer had the foresight to use a Gri-Gri, which, in hindsight, was a really good idea! It is quite possible that the gear never would have pulled had she not been using a GriGri.

Well, everyone in the Mountaineers does.

Let me get one thing straight. While I found him to be annoying at times, I never felt he violated the terms of this site and had I been a moderator, I would not have banned him. He was probably the smartest guy ever to post on cc.com.

Denton. There is a 50 foot hill there. They apply the lofty appellation "promontory" to it, I believe. You can see at least 5 miles from up there.

It would be fun if the guy wouldn't keep harping on the same issue, ad nauseum.

Bring back kitten. She hasn't posted in two years.

Defeatist thinking! You start where you're at, and if you are so driven, well then drive! Do you have a goal in climbing? Let's here it, and WE'LL judge if it's possible! (No seriously, do you have a goal? Climbing can be super-fun, even with goals in mind!) My goal is to lead 5.11 trad. My immediate goal is to reach 5.10c by next summer.

I should think of some Rodney Dangerfield joke. "Folks, I gotta tell 'ya, I'm so bad with women, I can't even get along with Bertha the LC/MS."

Why is it that in the negative ion mode the LC/MS gives predominantly 2M-H for carboxylic acids, rather than M-H?
