Didn't those crampons blow when they were first released?

Cool! A southern martlet!

Who stole Marylou's password?

What the hell is a 'martlet' anyway?

Maybe your site is way slow right now? Either way, looks like fun.

Cool, thanks. So the 'covering-up' bit is bullshit.

Martlet hasn't started a gun thread yet, though....

Dammit, Martlet, can you drop your jackass attitude? Where's the evidence that a news release was issued back in January?

Good God, voodoo, can't you resize those pics? I'm on a LAN and it still takes half an hour to download em!

What's that web of lies got to do with the mistreatment of prisoners in Iraq? As far as I can tell, NOTHING.

Interesting link, j_b, but what makes me suspicious is the 'reportedly' statements. Any moron can write anything he wants with such a disclaimer in front of it. If true, that's horrible, and Rumsfeld should be thrown into jail, but I find it hard to imagine that a guy smart enough to get into the position that he's in would be stupid enough to authorize or, worse, order this kind of treatment. Those involved in politics tend not to undermine themselves, that's their enemies' jobs. Edit: Martlet beat me to it.

Martlet, you're getting on my nerves. STFU. Minxie, it ain't worth it.

Allison, I think that this is what the young republican preppie piece of shit....is referring to.

I'm just an uneducated young moron, but blaming Rumsfeld for the torture/humiliation is like blaming Bush if your box is lost by the postal service. In both scenarios the people lowest on the ladder fucked up, yet you blame the people at the top. Now, blaming him for not apologizing enough, or for not parading the abuse around, is something else. But saying that he is responsible for the abuse and should resign strikes me as silly.

Um, no.

Martlet, I tend to agree with your opinions, but that doesn't change the fact that you're lacking in communication skills. Juvenile insults in EVERY SINGLE POST gets old kinda fast. So chill out. Thanks.

Whatever, Jason, you're a skinny bastard. Nice work, guys, looks like fun.

It's intelligent, reasonable, convincing posts like this that make me want to vote for Kerry.

I just wanna be like Andy Kirkpatrick!

I dunno about that, Skeezix. They will hate us no matter what, even if 'only' on a basis of religion. Their hate isn't rational, it won't go away. They are convinced that America is evil no matter what we do. And in such a situation, what can you do? All you can do is instill enough fear in them that they won't attack you.

Yeah, that thing is hilarious!

Nice!

You can always slice useless/extraneous features off a pack, though. The only time I've used/needed a frame is when carrying skis and boots on the pack. The external 25 lbs compresses the pack too much otherwise.
