I don't want to be anywhere near his gun. If the weapon had been UNconcealed, I'd have probably left the party.

Feel free to let us know which of our social events you will be attending. Suffice to say, not everyone's as enamoured with your Second Amendment rights as you are.

No, I didn't say anything nasty to her, just referred to her as "Drew."

I was purported to not be a real person until I showed up at a Pup Club. If I'm not mistaken, Icegirl had the same experience. I know that this isn't the most popular thing to say, but the fact that some of the guys here enjoy trolling as women is oh so suck. Muffy's spoken about this before, and I second her on it. Among other things, it calls into question the veracity of any new female poster. Give the girl a break! She is real. Next!

Old Pequliar in Ballard. It has outside seating, and we've never been there as far as I know. If it's on this side of the lake I think I'll show up this week.

MN, don't feed the trolls and they will get bored and leave you alone.

Apologies, have not climbed there, and have not known of pulling on foliage to be considered free climbing.

End of the weekend chat starts now.

I don't give a rat's ass who finds it funny. It's not appropriate, and this isn't the spray section.

Mister E, please don't involve my mom in this. I don't find it funny.

Nice!

grabbed that one yesterday but really, if you aren't gonna damage the tree, its in... especially in alpine... usually it is in the way and getting around it without touching it makes it harder and contrived... like saying certain holds are 'out' on a sport climb... but if possible i try not to, but if it is there, the temptation can be great especially if you are gripped. I think by this logic, pulling on gear would also be considered "in." Trees are definitely aid.

Hm, very interesting hypothesis!

Chat time if anyone is around!

I've spent a fair amount of time in the BC alone. You think you need a gun to go in the woods by yourself? Please.

I hope there aren't too many bears up where Ilona is going.

I think it's unfair of you, and poor form, to post this on the Internet, especially since it was based on one error.

Aw, heck, Cavey, you're right...I'm no match for you.

Yeah, and it's included in the package, just like the yachts and the chefs, from what I understand.

No, I know I can't get it Stef! I just said I'd like to see it.

That's an interesting question. Apparently the survey is random, and would therefor include mostly retail employees by the numbers. I'd like to see the % of FT employees at Retail and I'd like to see a comparison of turnover % versus other retailers.

Mexico was big right after NAFTA, but labor has gotten too expensive. Same thing keeps happening. It's referred to the "race to the bottom".

I'm sure the "well-paid" REI retail employees who frequent this site would have something to say about this!

Whatever you like to think.

Criminy, people, I wasn't even there! Climb outside! Nevah!
