because we are so core, we're headed down there rain or shine. see you at the rocks or at the grasslands. werd.

Colin, hello I am poor American climber, would like to borrow money from Trustafarian climber candyman for to afford trip to Patagonia for myself and a few others. Much thanks.

Not only that but the pony tail for men is coming back bigtime. Also, I heard that there is a new Versace line of tie-died shirts. But why pay so much when you can express yourself by making your own? Take back the power from the liberal intellectual elite!

We need a projector and screen, so PM me if you have one we can borrow. Gary? Could you bring one?

only if you take pics and post them on teh interweb

jay is just playing devils advocate. he actually went back east to join a commune and study marx.

yes. you go in there and they "cup" you and ask you to cough. It costs like $100. You don't even get a happy ending.

Why it is that people with more income and education arguing on behalf of regulations that force people with much lower incomes in isolated or underserved markets to pay inflated prices for consumer goods is both ethically and economically sound?

jayb, if you had an argument with yourself, who would win?

So far we'll have: * Offwhite showing climbing pictures from the days of old (He has asked me to hype this into oblivion) sickie * AlpineK is going to be showing some pictures * John Frieh is going to try to make it up and show some pictures of great climbing in Idaho. Drop me a PM if you have some pictures you think everyone would be interested in seeing. I'd like to get at least one or two more people showing.

now now...all items where performed in serial. oh, unless you mean that I was driving while doing them. but who just drives anymore? its such an opportunity. knit a sweater. carve a pumpkin. fix your bicycle.

Conditions were ideal today. Was able to read the complete works of James Michener from start to finish as well as do my taxes and write a screen play based all the posts ever made in Spray on cc.com.

I know I'm coming off as an ass-kissing sycophant in saying it, but Colin is one of those people you feel really lucky to know as a person. I don't know anyone else who has achieved near as much and retains such humility.

Dave in the hizzy! w00t! i might be up for it.

I would recommend shaving your head and then checking in and out of rehab several times.

Driving in heavy traffic should be viewed as an opportunity. Time to spend thinking about things and sorting it all out. Quality time to check out what the full AM and FM spectrums offer in the way of entertainment. Time to memorize the rear profile of all makes and models of cars. Time to reflect on your life and of course time to write a scathing emails about the incompetence of others on your Blackberry.

No! Colin made that up for his own amusement.

verbosity is kewl.

no. i think he was responsible for all the problems the current administration has had. Soon you'll see...it will be clear sailing from here on out.

bring me a higher love sickie

pics?

Shopkeepers and Intellectuals???? OMG. of course they like lower prices. but what is the long term cost? heaven forbid an intellectual help them understand that! looking at the bigger picture, such as what happens when a store like Wallmart comes in and runs all the local shops out of business, and you're left with out of town (or out of country) ownership and you get some minimum wage jobs in return. but you also get some nice cheap and affordable Chinese products. sounds like a win-win. but then that is thinking it through and getting all intellectual on the issue, which of course it bad. "intellectual" - what a strange word to turn into a negative. i guess perhaps if you don't like thinking you might oppose intellect. But I do know that if anyone is a thinker on the board it is you JayB. So you do you intellectualize your own intellectualality such that you can get through the day without beating your self up over it? Perhaps you are bi-intellectual? Both non-thinking and thinking, layered in a taco shell, smothered with cheese, wrapped in a deep dish pizza, and deep fried? very provoking blog there. i'm sure you'd never write so shortsighted.

True enough, I shouldn't be quoting someone third hand anyway I guess the point is that they will most likely end up on an aid rack, but that all depends on what you like to climb. Bottom line is its just another piece of protection (free or aid) on that is available, which isn't a bad thing.
