  1. While I respect the none-too-thinly buried sentiment underlything this screed, I have to wonder if the Army isn't issuing testosterone drip bags and catheters.
  2. What about the new Brunton Optimus?
  3. Correct me if I'm wrong but, aren't the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court basically controlled by the conservatives now? If so, in whom do we place our present state? You could blame Clinton I suppose, but then I could rightly blame Bush 1, Ronald Reagan, Nixon, etc ad nauseum.

    9/11 hearings

  5. One thing is for sure, the word 'juvenalia' takes on a whole new meaning in CC-land....
  6. Having been to the FSU myself, I'd have to say that Russian girls aren't 'easy' as an American male might understand the term. Rather, they don't have the puritanical hangups that we do about sex. They're more European in their sensibilities about it and are interested in sex simply for itself without necessarily having to be 'in a relationship'. Living overseas and travelling about the world is an eye-opener as to how uptight we are about a lot of things.
  7. Better yet, let us have a poll so *we* get to decide who she hooks up with. ;-)
  8. Just have your "friend" read what gets posted on this site. That oughta cure her of any latent interests in climbers from here.
  9. that's why i was asking> :-)
  10. I've been thinking about replacing the old cords on my BD hexes with some wires (like the new ones). Of course, immediately I start thinking about things i could screw up e.g. is there a particular wire/swage that should be used?, etc. Anyone ever do this, think about doing this, etc? Does this raise any red flags? (Danger Will Robinson!)

    Smoking Bans

    personally, i'd be happy if they'd stop dropping their flaming non-biodegradable filters everywhere, especially out their car windows. hey, moron, there's an ash tray in your car. give a hoot, don't pollute. ;-)
  12. Can't get out next weekend because I'm on vacation with my wife. Seems everyone I've climbed with lately has non-climbing plans this weekend. Have gear/rope/stuff.
  13. yeah, you don't have to move out of state when you have plenty of backward-ass country fcks living right here!
  14. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060952814/qid=1086892236/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/104-6452453-0548740?v=glance&s=books
  15. You want compensation? Just look at the front of any pickup truck. Most of them look like they have jet intakes now. I wonder if they come with a free Golly G Dubya flight suit?
  16. I think the whole thing about big vehicles comes down to, in part, the size of the people driving them. I have a Jeep and I've read b/b messages where people complain that the seats are too small. wtf?! They like the big trucks because the can squeeze their mounds of flesh into them easier.
  17. yeah, getting any food down here is annoying. i'm thinking of getting a shirt that says 'i have no time or money for you'
  18. Comment would be superfluous
  19. 6/5: Lost red Omega Pacific Doval at Castle Rock We were on Catapult. Small thing I guess but no harm in asking.
  20. to compound the insult, they usually don't cash the check for a week either....
  21. So, there's still hope that endlessly posting annoying political rants will result in a decimation of the population of cc.com via black helicopters!?! Sweeeeet.
  22. This isn't so much a problem for me and my wife. I let her do her things, she lets me do mine. We have other things we like to do and we both like skiing so it works. One of the most important things I ever read about love was that you are always thinking about the other person more than about yourself. If you both love each other in that way, then some sort of compromise is possible. It won't otherwise because one of you is being too selfish.
  23. As is often said in science: "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Where is your documented proof?
  24. Sat: Climbing in Leavenworth area till about 7pm. Sun: Went to see Cirque du Soleil in Vancouver with my wife. Funniest comment: "Wait....Canadian pizza? Ugh. No way!"
