Don't be such a pussy. My old man and the other Kappa Sig pledges ate puke outta a bucket for hell week at the UW in '42. They fuckin survived. He survived only to pass genetic mutations in his sperm.

Just do it at Exit 38.

I call bullshit on you erik. Don't go blaming the Sierra Club for the present situation. Blame clearcutting and blame fire suppression. The problem is that the sort of cutting that is needed to protect the forests from fire is to remove the smallest trees and brush. There just isn't any profit in this. The money is in the big trees. So to make the deal sweet enough for private industry to cut small trees near developed areas, Bush gave them the right to clear cut acreage in forests far from inhabited zones. But the fact is there isn't enough cutting in the plan to even keep up with the growth rate of combustible material near inhabited areas. It is going to probably require spending tax dollars to get the protection from fire that people are seeking.

You should be grateful that the mods think highly enough of you to tell you want people are saying about you. Sounds like they figure if the dead horse argument worked to get rid of Dwayner, they'll try using it to get rid of you. Probably won't work.

That joke works.

I think a good nickname for that person would be Ill, as in sick. Easy to remember, easy to type.

I think that RobBob has a good point. You have to start posting to really have fun. Come on lurkers, give it a try! Lotus, n. The fruit consumed by the lotus eaters. The lotus creates a state of mind in those who eat it which erases all goals, all memory of home, all desire to do anything except to continue to consume the lotus...

Don't you mean the gay unborn baby environmentalist snaildarterspottedowlwhales?

Thank you guys. That was just so uplifting.

Gee, I hope those cow brains are certified free of BSE particles.

I'd say that poor sentence structure is an unforgivable sin. There pope, is that better? The little nurd guy was supposed to be there so you'd know it was a facetious statement.

Is this fellow the same gregm of cc.com? I recogized the names of some of his friends, such as Phil Fortier and Dave Burdick as also being cc.com folks. That one photo of the summit block in profile is pretty cool looking.

Dru has been too busy posting as Chockstone to post as himself.

It's a pity, really. I hear they like you, Layton.

I'd say that poor sentence structure is an unforgivable sin. Winston Churchill, after receiving a Minute issued by a priggish civil servant, objecting to the ending of a sentence with a preposition and the use of a dangling participle in official documents, Churchill red pencilled in the margin: "This is the sort of pedantry up with which I will not put."

Our own Uncle_Tricky. Every post a gem. I'll bet Diane Feinstein's five acquaintenances were not shedding tears of joy.

I believe that Boonecounty has done the route. He had useful information when I asked. Trip Report

Erik, trask fancies himself a "sex pistol", so there you go.

ChrisT once said I was mean. I guess that means I am. I notice the thread was moved to Spray from Climbers. It's just as well.

Okay, Fairweather. I went and read the report. In all eleven cases for intervention to prevent violence, the outcome was the same, "insufficient evidence to determine outcome". This means they couldn't tell one way or the other for a variety of reasons ranging from lack of studies, lack of necessary records, inconsistent results, etc. This is not the same thing as "no cause and effect" as you put it. Did anyone go read that report? Personally, I think that panel was afraid to reach a conclusion for fear of the backlash that would inevitably ensue.
