Found this review of the current crop of packs. Posting for the sake of posterity. http://www.feedthehabit.com/gear_reviews/backcountry_ski_packs.html I shot the Sherriff, - a s s m n k e y

That UA rumor is false, started by some Trader Joe's employee. Latest issue of Wine Enthusiast has a column about the fact that this is a new market for USA (as noted above). WE prognosticates that the "value" market will boom over the next few years. For white wine drinkers looking for a value (<$7) try Lindeman's Bin 65. I just discovered it. Good shit, and I am not a fan of white wines in general. Available at QFCs and Ballard Market, I think. The wine dude at BM is a rock star. Ask him for the value of the week, he'll set you up. - a s s m n k e y

Looking at the photo on that site of the statues of the "ideal" male figure, I noticed that their penises look really small in proportion to the rest of their bodies. Does that mean that the ideal male should have a small penis? - a s s m n k e y

Damn. For that price, I have to give it a shot. I ordered the Slide. I figure if I find it's single bagel capacity is too small, I'm not out too much. Thanks for the link cj001f. Will let you guys know how it goes. - a s s m n k e y PS This is what I love about this site. All the brothers and sisters sharing the love. One Love. Buffalo Soldier. No Woman, No Cry.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I will check out the Osprey offerings also. I'm keen on tubed hydration. JoshK-Yeah, I'm looking for a dedicated ski pack. I have a winter pack I use and love, but for day trips that require packing the skis, the skis end up flopping about 'cause I can't fill the pack up enough to support an a-frame. And the shovel. I hate having that gooddamn thing hanging off the back. It makes me so angry, flopping about, clanging and just generally making a stinking racket. I just want a tiny little day-ski pack, into which I can logically place all my happy, shiny, specialized ski gear, and it will all just lay down nice and flat and pack really well. If I want my goggles, for example, I just want them to be right there, in the "place for goggles." I don't want to have to untie the shovel, pull off the crampons I didn't need to bring and pull out my hat and my puffy just to get my goggles. I want them to be right there: In the goggle place. And my skins, don't get me started on the skins. Lip balm? And that stupid shovel. I hate that damn thing. Why do I bring it? Well, if I had a nice little streamlined "shovel pocket" or some such, it would just be so much easier. This has happened to you, I'm sure: You put your roast beef bagel sandwich that you bought at 4:30 in the morning at QFC in your pack. Your pack is big and a little loose, it's your winter pack. And the bagel, you think about it all morning, skinning up the hill suffering on Gu and sweaty sunscreen. The whole time, the bagel is in there. But you know what? It's heavy. Heavier than your thermos. Heavier than your hat. Heavier than your extra gloves. Heavier than your orange. Heavier than your Nalgene. And you know what happens, it ENDS UP AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BIG PACK. And when you stop to get it out and all you want is the roast beef bagel that you've been thinking about all morning, it's not where you left it. Nope. It's at the bottom of your big multi-purpose winter pack. And it's not a bagle anymore. IT'S A DISC. It's a disc made of smashed roast beef and cream cheese. And that SUCKS. That friggin' SUCKS. You want to cry and you end up getting mad and throwing the roast beef disc down the hill because it sucks SO MUCH. And then your buddy is says to you, as you watch his big dumb oafy overactive dog bound down the slope after the roast beef disc, "Dude, if my dog eats the saran wrap, you're paying for the vet bill." And the look in your buddy's eye shows that he's not lying. You will pay that vet bill for the constipated dog. See, if I just had a tiny little ski pack, with a "bagel place," I would be happier. We're really talking about my mental health here. I just want a nice small functional pack to take skiing with me on day trips. That's all. That's not too much to ask. Is it? - a s s m n k e y

Addie, you forgot to post photos of your "friend." Lingerie shots would be preferable, but anything showing her posterior would probably suffice. Thanks! - a s s m n k e y

You can't really compare Canada and the US though. Shit, in Canada hard drugs like marajuana are legal. Nice link, I'd never heard of the "Squamish Five." I find the history of militant domestic (I'll include Canada) radicals fascinating. I recently rented a documentary on "The Weather Underground" that was fascinating. The Weatherman were a violent faction offshoot of the SDS. They bombed properties that were symbolic of what they thought was an oppressive regime. It was intersting to hear their reflections after they had 20 years to think about what they had done. None of them ended up serving jail time for their activities in that organization because during trial preparation it came out that the FBI's COINTEL program had engaged in totally illegal activity, thus invalidating most of the evidence against the radicals. There were some pissed off hippies after the 60's who resorted to violence to change things they felt they had little control over, and much of that history has been glossed over. On the other side of the political spectrum was The Order, which went down in flames in 1984 on Whidbey Island. - a s s m * n k e y
