My Pet Peeves: 1) People who enter the freeway on the ramp in front of you at 45 mph or less. 2) Rain on the weekend. 3) People who thoughtlessly toss their cigarette butts/ pack wrappers out the window or on the groud wherever they happen to be.

If it is a troll, it is a worthy one. Though they be but few, Joe puts quite a lot of effort into his posts.

What women want: What dirtbag climbers have to offer:

Perhaps he wasn't referring to your stature.

There's is also the ever popular, "Mexican Hat Dance". What's the real name? Zacatecas?

I may be low, but I am not THAT low.

Brilliant

If it is truly unattended you can just turn it OFF.

Dru, that is exactly the case in Oregon. The doctor only provides. The patient administers. I suggest some of you naysayers go rent a copy of the movie Wit, and after watching it in its entirety see if you feel about the subject the same way you do now. Unless you have been confronted with a slow and extremely painful death, you might not know what to think on the subject. I've had to think a lot about this since my wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer four years ago.

This is what people mean when they talk about the proverbial waste substance hitting rapidly rotating metal blades.

Well...it was only a little 10 footer.

Justice's options are to take the case to the full eleven judge panel of the 9th Court of Appeals, or go to the US Supreme Court. I think that Ashcroft's political philosophy is inconsistent. He says he is for states rights, but when it comes to treading on individual liberty, this trumps any concern he may have for the former.

Three judges from the Ninth-Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a Federal Judges previous ruling upholding the Assisted Suicide law in the State of Oregon. The two judge majority ruled that the States have a right under out Federalist system to regulate the practice of medicine and that the Federal law covering illegal drugs does not apply in this case. Go take a hike, Ashcroft.

I assume you are referring to gym climbing?

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. You were young and you didn't know what you were doing.

It seems to me that there is more to being human than becoming a baby machine. Welcome back, MrDoolittle.

The most objective ratings will come from climbers doing your route at close to their limit.

You sound so surprised! CC.com has its own political correctness of sorts. PC is everywhere. It always has and always will be.

People vote with their wallets and twins tend to lose out since they are used less than often than either half ropes or singles, at least on rock.

never trust a fart What does that mean? Can you "lay that out" for us?

Political Relativity. If you compare a moderate viewpoint to one that is ultraconservative or even reactionary, it will seem liberal by comparison.

He wouldn't have been harmed by going into the bag if it was the cannister type, but would have been with the upright type. The former has the motor after the bag, whereas the latter type before the bag. So how do you get a snaffle unstuck? I'd put the hose on the outlet and blow him out. You'd get a snaffle projectile that way.

It is obvious that you guys are confusing the twin rope system with the half/double rope system.
