    Trip Reports

    Nice...well, I have to say that got a chuckle out of me. There was some actual wit used there!

    Trip Reports

    Your "ground" is the garbage dump. Sometimes a Trip Report isn't to amuse Bone in his garbage dump. Sometimes a trip report is to let people know about conditions of a route or location. Sometimes it is just to serve as a reminder to get out. Sometimes a trip report doesn't need pictures because the writing is entertaining enough. There are other reasons. Spray is fun, but here is an opinion that I'm not alone in sharing (and in fact has been shared with me by no small number of people): This site would be better off if you posted less Kevbone. It actually pains me to have to say this, because I'm not joking at all. I think you do share some fun things, you are a talented artist on the guitar, and you have a wonderful family. But your personality and where you lead a lot of the conversations even in Spray has just turned off a lot of people. I know you have your supporters and friends, and not everyone is turned off by you. But your tireless "Everything is Spray" campaign is precisely what many people disagree with you on. Other people are capable of delineating between communicating wankery and actual good information (meaningful content or stoke). You apparently aren't. I have always been of the mind that Spray should be an open playground for fun and amusement. That approach has let to a lot of fun times over the years. It has also led to some pretty ugly situations. We have never banned someone for being a complete idiot before. There has to be some sort of malice attached. The topic of this thread is so fucking stupid it hurts, and serves as a sample of why people are turned off by the discussions you create (and in great number) and lead them to other more interesting venues on the Internet at the cost of this site. Again, it pains me to say this stuff. I don't think you are a bad person, I just wish you would STFU up sometimes. And Ivan is not a god here, but he does actually contribute. And in the eyes of many, even if his TRs are more entertainment than informative, his contribution is godlike compared to what you have given us.

    if you can't read, they might be. but nothing sucks more than a wanker who complains all the time and doesn't contribute anything more than brainless drivel.
  4. I remember the Hood canal going down. And having to ride a ferry across to get to Seattle.
  5. don't see any mention of loss of life there Bob. Maybe you know better than the talking heads....
  6. I'm cut off from the Filson outlet.
  7. The "functionally obsolete" rating could be given for a number of reasons, many of them not necessarily related to structural integrity. But, thats neither here nor there with the bridge in the drink. It will be interesting to see how long it it before there is even a temporary solution in place for this particular roadway/bridge. It is insane to think about the amount of traffic and lives that will be screwed by this situation.
  8. Sounds like the bridge wasn't necessarily the problem as much as an oversized truck hitting it that took it down. Not saying that that a better designed bridge couldn't have prevented this...but that was the case. The oversized load would have made it through ok if it was driving the inside lane. Human error.
  9. Ha just saw this! I'm a baseball dad these days, but Ulee wants to climb instead of soccer this fall. Congrats on getting up there, even if it was a little scary.
  10. glad you and your daughter are OK glenn.
  11. i found this video on youtooob [video:youtube]E55Qw27Urys
  12. I just think it is an interesting topic. just like discussing whether the earth is flat or not is interesting.
  13. I believe it is up to the parents to teach their children about brushing their teeth. Not the governement. You probably believe that the governement should not be making kids get an education or learn how to spell too.
  14. Since I adopted the Paleo diet I've been becoming more muscular and I can already feel my political views shifting. Also my testosterone shots have reduced my ball size and I am already leaning independent strongman, while previously I was a liberal weakling.

    FU Obama

    guys.....amirite?
  19. I don't know, but I'm confident the free and open markets can deal with the problem. I would invest in sunscreen companies.
  20. Maybe we can build a really tall fence around the circle and keep them all in there! You know, so we can protect our way of life.

  22. Q: What is long and hard that a Polish bride gets on her wedding night? A: A new last name.
