don't forget the one-piece suit!

dude! your breath smells like ass!

attachment doesn't work (at least for me)

I have the Osprey Ceres 50. I just used it for a two-day trip on Baker (we were planning on three), and it worked great. I've also used it for dayhikes where I had the thing cinched down to almost nothing.

what kind of glue do people use for glue-ins? I can prolly find out what solvent to use.

where's the vomit emoticon when you need it?

"Budweiser: the king of beers"

"waa, boo hoo. I'm too lazy to learn English, so I need it to be in spanish."

It's not that I don't have tolerance for people who move here (as I said, I have a lot of respect for person 1), I just don't have much tolerance for people who don't want (or are too lazy) to learn. If you move here, I feel you are obligated to at least make a solid attempt at learning the language.

It's not that I don't have patience for people who move here, but damnit! English is the established language here, and if you want to live here, you should learn the established language! Just because you immigrate here doesn't mean you don't need to learn how to communicate with everyone else here. I work with a lot of people who moved here from Asia (China, Vietnam, Laos, etc.) I'll use two of them as examples. Person 1 hasn't been here very long but has a good grasp on the language. She listens to american radio stations and is constantly trying to learn. Person 2 can't communicate well at all (and has been here longer), listens to the Vietnamese radio station, and makes no attempt at learning English. I have a lot of respect for Person 1, I'm glad she came over. Person 2 just annoys me.

everytime I go to a WaMu ATM, I have to select English. It pisses me off, too. Freakin' piece of crap! Learn the language or get the hell out of the country!

"hold my beer"

I was considering the snow gulleys a year ago when I was up there, but I decided just to continue on to Leutholds. I think some of my friends are going to be trying it in September. (i.e. rock climb, no snow or ice near it.) And yeah, there's a few routes listed in Oregon High.

the matress isn't there to protect your fall, it's there to encourage you not to fall onto it.

Lummox, n8912398 is lying! He just wants to keep all the money for himself! Do it quick before the flatlander gets to it!

I agree, Chris/Kristin/Steve/Triple Thanx for the great time!

yes and no. Can someone who drives to the top of a mountain say they've climbed it? Where do you draw the line? IMHO, the slog up the ski area is part of the climb. However, I've already done it enough times that if the opportunity came to ride the snowcat or chairlift up, I may take it. I've already done my time, I don't feel the need to continue to do it every time I climb the mountain. I agree that there are probably many people who take the snowcat that wouldn't make it up otherwise, and perhaps these people shouldn't claim to have climbed the mountain, maybe not even be on the mountain at all. If they can't make the easy part, why should they be on the hard part? Seeing as how they probably won't stop the snowcat, I think they should just run the chairlift starting at midnight. Much quieter, doesn't have that aweful smell, and doesn't kill your nightvision. Then all the gumbies can use it and say they climbed the mountain. The rest of us can use it to skip the boring part.

I dunno, would you rather have 6 days no Baker or in the office??

I gotta watch that movie again!

trask, you're wasted bandwidth

Squid, if I read the other thread right, you summited too. Congrats!

"Um, mr. president sir, we attacked s. korea just like you asked us too" "I meant n. korea. I merely got the n/s wrong once...." single mistakes can be catastrophic. forgetting to double-back your harness once can kill you.

ummm, FS, I think that the deputy defense secretary had a little say in the Iraq war. To say that he's not significant is just proof that you're an idiot.

I've been really happy with my Gemini. I may have to go out and get the new one with the two LED's, that'll make it even better. I've seen the Myo's, and I just don't like them.
