without expletives my vocabulary would fucking suck.

gas grass or ass . . .

see the deal with acceptability has more to do with what people buy rather than what works. thus the demise of the dmm bettabrake for example. and the advent of the 'action suit'.

you realy shouldn't tell that. when you saythings like that in public it can weaken your spirit and give people dark power over you bwahaha.

ski poles are aid.

book of five rings is five centuries old. the copy of 'the peter principle' i read belonged to my pop. and i have yet to be promoted to a level of incompetence. i havent ever had a job that long.

Now I'm sorry but I cannot let this one by (nothing personal, ehmmc). As an MBA who started with one employee 18 years ago and now has a bunch of 'em, I can tell you that there are plenty of good management books out there. They range from most anything by Peter Drucker or Michael Porter or Theodore Levitt to feel-good books like Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill or anything by Dale Carnegie. The most-timeless mgt strategy book perhaps is The Art of War. Winnie The Pooh is for kids. AA Milne wrote it for his son Christopher. Disney bastardized Pooh enough, for god's sake. I don't give a fuck what Pooh or Jesus think about business...because they don't know shit about business. i say 'the book of five rings' or 'the peter principle'.

i think the best climbers are still going out with minimal gear. course by 'best' im putting a value judgement out there. so fuck you if you disagree.

'innocent' my ass.

read anything published recently? i have read most of what you folks have mentioned (outside of the french poetry a course).

it was the 80s. like dayglo clothing was ever a good idea? give em a break.

inglis too tough for ya?

use the term 'comfort' instead of 'service' you moron.

werd. but faders had rated biners that they come out with in the 80s. red and blue colored to denote free or aid climbing (tho i cant remember what color goes with what). they look a lot like keychain shizzle but they got the kilogram rating stamped on em.

does that make it a pollutant? 5% concentration of co2 snuffs candles and kills car engines. 10% causes people to hypreventilate get dizzy and eventually go into coma. 30% people drop dead. any questions?

death threats are aid.

that place would fold like a house of cards under a trade embargo.

guess you dont know much about california history. that place been a cow growing megaranch since before it was part of the us. well suited for it too what with the winter grass crop (one of the few areas in the world that has that). personally i think the cows are okay. without em thered be a lot more brush to wade through in the foothills. cow shit is no big deal.

fuck youre old.

heres the deal pp: climbers admired boldness a lot more back in the day. so they dint carry much shit. so their racks were pretty light. how many pins did salathe and nelson carry on lost arrow? like 5 or sumpin. grade v too. first in north america.

hey marmot dude. whynt you ask around among all the wealth of experience where you work before you make a stupid blanket statement. sub 35g carabiners have been available for a couple decades.

how the fuck did he get the handle like that? what position would his body been in? 10 pts for creativity fersure.

it is clear that your lack of intelligence aint doing you any favors.

this whole body modification thing is getting outta control. know what im saying?

FOUL! yo dumbass. a catalog is not a book. otherwise i done read the whole works of victoria secret.
