  1. Hahaha "NRA Strike Force." What, do these bastards think they're special ops or something? Fuck most of us grew out of that phase by age 11. Seriously, the gun was completely irrelevant in this guy's encounter. Some pretty lame newsmaking skills I must say. The only thing that article says to me is: you don't need to carry a gun. Thanks for dispelling my paranoia, NRA Strike Force.
  2. If he was good at debate and interviewing then he wouldn't be making movies, he'd be babbling on Crossfire or some other bullshit shit-flinging festival. He makes movies. That's how he communicates his ideas. The View women, just as all other talking heads, are paid to talk, and they're pretty damn good at it... I mean shit, it's not like he's running for president!
  3. Damn.. I'll never figure out how to post damn pictures off the web! If I can't figure that out, I probably shouldn't try arguing politic. You tried to post an .html as an image. You have to give the actual file adress of the image itself. Right-click, go to properties or "copy image location" (in Netscape I think) copy the url that ends in .jpg or .gif then paste that between the image tags.
  4. Well, with the amount of detail mentioned (in the second link) it ought to be pretty easy to discredit if it's false.

    As For Poets

    Speaking of Reedies... ‘Work of Mourning' Because a fishing-boat washed up– empty– to a shore crowded in fog and the bodies of the hopeful and still- waiting– I lift my axe today to this pile of slash, for kindling. The body makes its own memories in muscle, in skin, in all it contacts. The axe's flight catches a skiff of gray sky in its down stroke, and my back muscles burn through the hard task of re-learning. Because the boat was empty– the hull washed over in foam– and because the survival suits drifted ashore… Red rubber collars gripped around absent necks, and the long, flat limbs collapsed over skeletons of air. I think we must take comfort in our elements, be heartened by the thunk thunk of axe-work, as we sweat towards this vigil of fire, though the dry land blinks its thousand wet eyes, and the axe skids over the surface of rain-softened wood. ~Elyse Fenton 'Elegy' In the buzz of downtown bars, in the perfume of expensive cigars, in the delicate necks of cocktail glasses held half cocked, in the conversations in the beautiful faces, in the well tailored dresses, in the perfectly manicured phrases (sample sized for later consumption) in the de-commissioned shields used as cocktail trays there is a Rome in its last days; in the citizenry of foreigners in the service of industry, in the roads that stretch to every corner of the empire, in the military having been allowed back inside the city, in the college education that is considered crucial to success. in the martini list stretching the length of the page, in the Pomegranate stained lips of the laughing woman, who could be a movie star or a secretary; in the ginger smoldering in the vodka, in the crushed white peaches dropped in the champagne flutes trailing faceless bubbles; in the hair she lifts from her face to sip; in the candles guttering in the wreckage of half-eaten entrées, in the constant rattle of ice in the shakers that is constant, in the glasses that are re-loaded, in the orders coming in, in the fully automatic laughter that riddles him with smoke, in the servers crouch and weave, in the fresh linen flopped over the guests table, in the bodies dressed to kill, in the olive run through with a plastic sword, in the wobbly signature of the company accountant too drunk to fuck the blonde groping his pockets there is the enactment of a new era; there is the signing of a new bill there is a Rome in its last days. -Nathan Wilson ps. don't steal these or I get my ass kicked.
  6. Hahaha. I wish there was a picture.
  7. I wouldn't do interviews either. You want to know what Moore has to say, then go watch his movies. He's neither a celebrity nor a politician. He's a filmmaker. Duh. That is, unless by "interview" you mean actually mean trial, i.e. you want him to answer for his horrible leftist slander...
  8. Don't worry man, you didn't miss much... No, actually it was pretty good. Kinda slushy though.
  9. Damn I would go but I'm busy tomorrow afternoon.
  10. NF Shuksan eh? PM me next time you're gonna try it...
  11. it's gotta be.
  12. You can get BD Contacts with toe strap/heel bail, they are pretty light and easily adjustable. Good for boots that have a the heel rib only. http://www.bdel.com/gear/alpinism/contact_clip.php Or if you want to go really light with light hiking boots get some aluminum strap crampons such as:
  13. Yeah but wherz the picz of crizizacked on da boulderz? Hmm maybe I'd boulder better if I wore a scarf... But I have the secret weapon, ultimate whiteness.
  14. Yeah but this time it's not solo. And I'm really not supposed to take this Thursday off.
  15. There be black bears round these parts too. Not telling where lest you gunhappy bastards want another hatrack.
  16. What/where the hell is H112? Shit, I went to high school at Western. If you're serious, let's go wrestle some pebbles on the beach...
  17. This must have been the 45-year-old version.
  18. I'd go but I'm snowboarding Baker tomorrow.
  19. Oh come on it's a black bear. Make it some hot cocoa and read it bedtime stories.
  20. One-day ski/splitboard-facilitated climb. Easton or Sulfide (as default). PM me if interested.
  21. whitewater
  22. Yeah, there are some 3000-foot highballs, so you should bring your neon pink crashpad, if you have one.
  23. I have the REI bivy, it is super-light, but not good in the rain. I've used it around 10 times now, and all but two or three times I got rained on. The face area is just bug mesh, so if you're short you can kind of wrap some of the shell material over your head, but your head still gets wet eventually. Water also seems to pass through the zipper quite easily, and your bag gets wet. But it is a lot better than nothing, obviously, and these problems only occur when it rains continuously for a long time. For light rain and everything else it works alright. It's also cheap.
  24. just trying to stay on topic...
  25. OK: You're walking through the park, and a guy with his dog are running toward you. Conservative: This dangerous man and his viscious dog are threatening me and my rights. Good thing I always carry my Glock... BANG! Southerner: Weeeeeeehaaaaw! Tirgit practice! Good thing I always carry my .44 magnum! BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG! Liberal: Hey there, Dave! Nice day for a jog in the park, ain't it?
