nope just a bunch of moon bats

ah yes, if you were a dumb ass, then of course you deserve to pay and should probably have to pay double

ok wait a minute. this raises some questions... who is the ropegun in this scenario? your g/f right? will you be using your new rope?? if so, for what? join in what???

i'm curious...what do you folks consider to be proper ettiquette in this situation. i, for one, would not expect repayment for the lost tent. it sucks but stuff falls from packs all the time even w/the most thoughtful efforts to avoid this. i guess if i had loaned someone a tent for a trip i didn't go on i'd expect repayment but not in this case. am i wrong?

solid article. i think the important thing in an economic/political aspect is to continue the progress towards alternative fuels from an environmental perspective, we need to be doing it asap http://www.afdc.nrel.gov/

oh my! for shame! i believe that martlet has committed the sin of "spelling error" he obviously does not possess the wirlwind/muffy exemption. based on my platform as moderator, i think he should be banned. who's with me???

hey hey HEY!!! those of us from the Followers Depot sincerely appreciate the services provided by Ropegunz-R-Us. do we not faithfully clean the pitches you lead for us? carefully and attentively belay you? say nice things about your asses as we sit on ours? provide as much beer as is necessary to nourish our ropegun? in same cases even provide snacks and tasty treats? wear p'rana tops? spew encouraging although meaningless encouragement? provide you w/the opportunity to get in as many leads as you want? while at the same time providing an unending amount of adoration and adulation? sheesh! what more do you ropegunz want? as followers we give and give and give and still you act like this. just plain selfish! HMMMMPH!

You've only been banned half as much as you deserve. that's b/c the sexy and studly moderators of this board are obviously getting laid way more than junior

some bastard stole my rack and is probably fondling it right now i had to get a whole new rack. so far it is double camalots .75-2;1 X 0.5,3,3.5,4. a couple TCUs and forged friends (borrowed-thanks!) a set of BD nuts and a set of hexes. i like my new rack but it is a lot smaller than my old one

Ahhh, backed into a corner, are we? It's funny you should require this of me, and not your counterparts. Particularly funny since THEY made the initial claims, and were quickly proven to be full of shit. You may want to go back and look at my SUBSTANTIATED points. I'm too busy proven you idiots wrong to write you a civics lesson. Read the news. i'd suggest you go back and look at your substaniated points and evaluate their merit. i was looking for a concise summary. they are not my counterparts. i have not stated an opinion on this thread. simply looking for some reasoned responses, not hand waving, from the biggest troll on this thread.

i'd like to suggest that "martlet" come out w/a post clarifying his position. something that includes what lies the liberal faction has told as well as demonstrating how bush has not lied. strictly the facts. leave out your opinion. then, maybe, you might have good discussion of the issues. until such time, i simply choose to view any of martlet's post as drivel and unsubstantiated nonsense.

About two months ago my SO's car was broken into at vantage. We've been on a run of bad luck w/thefts. Thankfully all they got that time was his wallet. He never leaves his wallet in his car, just a freaky coinkydink that he did that day. we were at exit 38 last fall when a bunch of cars were broken into. They had obviously been in my jeep but i left nothing in there to be stolen that day. in neither situation were the police of any use at all. the items in question didn't even merit a report. i'm not sure what the police can do but car break ins are very frustrating. although, i'm sure there is limited time they have, they seem unwilling to spend any of it on this type of thing. my home has been the recent target of many car break ins. we don't have a garage and vehicles sit a ways from the house. we are convinced for several reasons that it is the same person each time. the police will only come take a report if the value of the items stole is really substantial. last time they came up but wouldn't dust the car for fingerprints b/c it was still damp and they didn't want to come back later when it was dry. in each case the officer has been very nice and courteous but totally unhelpful in solving the crime. my guess is that trailhead thefts are treated in the exact same way. they don't even pretend they'll follow up or do any additional investigation.

That's $6.00 by the time you graduate, spraywhore. Good money I could have spent on A5 Crimpit Cargo Shorts. " Hanging from a hold or just hanging out, these shorts have a great casual look with superb technical ability." Oh, how I pine for superb technical ability in a short. hey they have "performance undergarments" to go with those technically able shorts

shows what you know, I got a pair for my loved one already yep, that says about all we need to know about iaxx. my local shop s and leaves me no reason at all to go to rei.

dru, i'm so pleased that you are learning about being safe in the outdoors. (do you know the risks of sunburn you may face as you leave the house???) but alas, my heart belongs the original moustache man. make sure that you apply sunscreen liberally to your bald spot.

LOOK! I'VE HAD IT W/YOU WANKERS. I'VE BEEN QUIET ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME BUT ENOUGH'S ENOUGH ALREADY! QUIT SLAMMIN MY MAN!!!! HE'S EXTRA CONCERNED ABOUT SKIN CANCER. CAN'T YOU PEOPLE LEAVE HIM ALONE ALREADY??? I MEAN THAT HAT IS THE LATEST RAGE IN PARANOID ALBINO'S TESTING THEIR PERSONAL LIMITS BY LEAVING THE HOUSE AND WALKING OUTSIDE. I THINK HE'S THE BEST. THOSE BLUE BLOCKERS MAKE HIM LOOK EXTRA MYSTERIOUS AND WE ALL KNOW MYSTERIOUS IS SEXY. YOU GUYS ARE ALL JUST DANGEROUS AND YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! I BET YOU DON'T EVEN WEAR POLYPRO UNDER YOUR JORTS! SO JUST QUIT PICKING ON HIM btw: i've seen a few rei customers whose forks i would not want to be in the way of!

ditto. give DS some credit. it would be nice to have the reservation.

if price is a big concern try out a pair of mad rock shoes. ($69) my partner picked up a pair to tide him over so to speak. he was very skeptical but finds them really comfortable and likes the rubber on them better than the la sportiva. i agree w/everyone else. don't listen to the shoe sales guys who try and get you to size down to discomfort on your first pair of shoes. buy them snug but not painful. you'll have plenty of time to by small, painful shoes later when you really need the sensitivity.

i think this thread was better before we started talking about greg and allison. uniformed secrets and breasts are way better. maybe uniformed secret breasts? or secret breast uniforms?

secrets are not the only thing a lot of people around here are insecure about.

Single women with their shit together is, like, ya know, an oxymoron, dude. If they ain't married, and pro-creatin', then they have failed in their one, sole duty. Their single purpose for existence has been left unfulfilled. Check in on these chicks when they're 37 or 40... they're friggin' uterus explodes and they go INSANE. obviously, gripped is having problems paying his child support this month

i second the recommendation to go to the sawtooths. elephant's perch is great. i'm hoping to get there this summer. should be a good time of year for city of rocks. we do have an idaho forum....it's called eastern WA

Right back at ya! I figured you were too afraid that I might kiss you if you introduced yourself nahhh! i would've given you a big smooch right back. the boys needed something besides climbing to talk about. actually i was worried cracked might get jealous and cause problems

definitely a fun evening. Good to see some new faces. Bug, based on the looks of it you should load Pandora (sorry i never made it over to say hi ) up for that trip. she's gonna kick all your arses up rainier Dustin_B despite is right leaning tendancies seems like a decent guy. good to see mattp, alpine k, ade, and the rest who entertained me w/stories of great winter alpine adventures. i was pleased to see that alpinfox was setting a fine safety example for the rest of us (although he did forget his cordinating gaitors) cracked seemed to understand his place in the world and stayed quietly off to the side where he belongs (children should be seen and not heard) a fine turn out by the women good to see CG33 make an appearance (she's ready to take on a few cracks soon) and icegirl (armed and dangerous w/the camera) allison, onya (sp? ) muffy was there in spirit (watch out for muffy's spirit ) the lovely "a" (lurking ducati riding date ) and there were several others whom i did not have a chance to meet! wish i could've stayed for the slide show. looked like it was going to be a good one. i don't even want to know what happened after the slides though. when i left there was still a lot of beer left and people were already hanging from the rafters
