It was because of that goddam prosperity we were suffering from for seven years under Clinton/Gore. All those people driving their shiny new SUV's to work. Now that so many of those people are out of work, the air has gotten much better. Thank you so much Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney.

Come on cracked! We finally get someone who looks at things differently than the rest of us and all you can do is come up with foul language. YOU, may find him boring. But don't presume to speak for the rest of us. Lance may or may not be an avatar, but he is fresh. If an avatar, certainly the product of a clever mind.

I have a four year old pair of Denalis and with the exception of the studs that hold on the tails, they don't have any aluminum at all. The rails and claw are of painted steel. The clevis pins are of stainless steel. Granted the claws/bindings broke once and were replaced by MSR. Maybe the originals were aluminum. I don't remember. With regard to the new design, I am only going on what I could see in the photo. Perhaps they ARE different.

It will be interesting to see what he weighs at the end of 44 days. We'll find out if he has been sneaking in and out, won't we?

It sort of depends on what you define as "real gains". What is an unreal gain? Do you mean what is truly important as opposed to what others perceive as important? There are a number of worthwhile activities that are relatively low risk.

Tell us some more, Beck. You are dating two girls at a time?

I was pulling weeds in the garden last year and didn't see the hornets nest. Ouch! If you get within a foot, they'll sting you until you remove yourself, which I did very rapidly.

No, I don't get it. I think you'll have to explain it to me. I can see that the rope is mighty tight. Must be your belayer. Yes, that can be the only explanation. By the way, it takes balls to post a photo of oneself in a cc.com thread. Way to go!

Reminds me of my brother. This is the brother who likes to stress test everything. He has broken numerous pencils trying to determine exactly how far they will bend before they break. I once left my watch on the counter. My brother was sitting on a bar stoor playing with the watch band, twisting it this way and that. "Put it down, you're going to break it". "No I'm not... oops". "Here you go". So now he is a doctor. "Does that hurt?". "No". "Does THAT hurt" "Yes!"

There's a good reason for that...

So seeing is believing. It was a rhetorical device by the way. It looks as though you are hanging from purple dental floss.

Harry, don't you recognize me with my red hat on? Yes, as you can see I won.

I've seen Dave: drink beer, talk, smoke a bowl and actually climb stuff. I've never actually seen cracked do any of the above. I don't think he is real.

Dru, don't get snarted.

Go out and have a beer with your buddies. That's what I'd do.

Fairweather, I wouldn't call Dave Ross liberal. He's more of a moderate to me. However, I could see how he might seem liberal from your vantage point. Mike Webb, definitely left wing. Dory Monson, moderately conservative. KIRO doesn't have anyone on par with Fox or KJR.

dberdinka, that was most excellent.

Be scared. Be very scared.

Boobs, breasts, jugs, hooters. There, are you happy?

I thought it was PP writing about CC.com. Will wonders never cease.

Pamela Anderson says we should boycott KFC because of their treatment of chickens. What about all the siliconians that gave their lives for her bosoms?

It may be that the "meek shall inherit the earth", but they sure won't inherit CC.com. I say it should be RobBob and mattp with cocoanut cream pies at ten paces.

The coyote must have mistaken you for carrion.
