  1. Don't worry, I'll let you know when your petulant ego-driven verbosity is worth more than a weak-ass one liner.
  2. I think you've pretty much filled up our quota for that today.
  3. Once again showing that you can't be taken seriously. Anything that emits carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, etc is 'changing the climate'. It's a matter of degree but then that fact seems to elude you.
  4. "then you should all be jumping for joy every time the price goes up by $1 a gallon" Another stupid conclusion. You don't have to be an 'ecosaint' to try to affect change do you? What an utterly stupid idea. Why do you consistently argue that only the most extreme endpoint of personal behavior should be attempted otherwise why bother trying? It's exactly the same kind of argument as 'If you support the Iraq war, then you should go enlist'
  5. Mr Ex-Bike Hero. Note the use of the past tense in previous statement. I always dislike it when anyone resorts to using extreme solutions to try to derail constructive criticism e.g. "if you hate our dependency on oil, why aren't you walking everywhere, you hippy?" or "why haven't you enlisted yet?" FWIW, I do drive but I drive as little as possible. I live near where I can walk to the store and I ride the bus back and forth to work every day. For years, I either rode the subway, walked to work, or rode my bike. I didn't really have access to my own vehicle until I was in my thirties. I eschew packaging, etc and am not prone to rampant consumerist tendencies. I live in high density housing. So, JayB, people are doing things they just aren't doing as many extreme things as you suggest. If more of your small minded brethren got on board, we might have to wait a several decades longer before we all go back to walking. Do you really need that F350 to haul your little fat ass Bratleigh and Snotleigh to school and to Costco? Do you really need a 5000 sq ft house for 4 people? Despite what you seem to think, people don't always make rational choices (this has been proven time and again, esp wrt financial choices).
  6. Well, at least you didn't step on a land mine today or get shot because you were from the 'wrong' clan or ethnic group.....

  8. Campusing from the floor to the top of the bar stool. Itch mush harder than it shounds.
  9. Kachoong, Arapiles.
  10. here through 3/24
  11. Ow! Dude, don't do that... Oh well, next time you're in a bar, show some girlie your scar and say you got it protecting you last gf from some bear when you were out hiking but she dumped you recently because she couldn't forgive you for getting her into that and now you're feeling blue.
  12. Double crap. They even have Alpine Bod's on sale.

    Other required gremlins: a) passed out drunk/stoned next to campfire or at a bivy b) bushwacking through devils club c) rescue helicopter d) old dude hitting on partner's girlfriend e) the 'bail' gremlin: kind of like the Mr T gremlin except it says things like 'It's too cold' or 'My leg hurts' or 'I have finals'.
  15. Braille Book: Described to me as 'a 5.8 climb with a 5.9 approach'. The 5.9 isn't literal just...well...you'll see....
  16. If you try to take a group like that up Nutcracker, all with limited experience, you're just going to piss off a lot of people. It's a popular climb.
  17. nailed by capital gains. :-(
  18. Isn't it fun living in a country with over 70% of the world's lawyers?
  19. Dirtbags R Us may be gunning for you
  20. I'm thinking al-Qaeda members are sitting around just thinking this shit up and laughing their asses off while our gov't runs around like a bunch of headless chooks spending a billion dollars on anti-altimeter-watch technology.
  21. Everything old is new again.
  22. That's because they're called 'National Monuments'.
  23. "Seriously, though, I think this is more of a snide, snarky misconception " Miss my point much there junior? I'll be sure to use a sledge hammer next time.
