Analclitoris: Gateway to the San Juans I'd heard of "Wetsnatchee" before but I'd never heard "Analclitoris"!!! .... anyway, I work in Federal Way... it was dumping biiig white flakes (tho not sticking much) from 10 am onwards today. at about 3 pm the boss came by and told us all to go home.

check yer email.

oops.. duh. just noticed the subject line in my last post.

kinda reminds me of Stripe the Gremlin.

its like the Nodder thread, Dagobah style...

Yeah, I didn't understand what needed "tidying up" either. I think the non-Spray moderators just get bored, cuz they have so little to do... sorta like cops in a nice suburban neighborhood who hassle teenagers for skateboarding, or for hanging out on the wrong streetcorner. yeah, I'm going to the coast this weekend, Greta. And I think you're busy the next weekend? maybe the 2nd weekend in December then...? maybe Paradise/Muir?

YAYYYY!!!!

LOL

Two of 'em, actually. I'd seen them a couple times before, at Rainier and maybe elsewhere, from miles away. These ones we saw Saturday were about 100-200 yds away from us. Skiing up at Green Mountain, near Darrington. Kinda exciting, but kinda freaky all the same. Definitely learned some lessons that day. Full trip report here: http://www.turns-all-year.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=tr0511;action=display;num=1132514097 yep .... avalanche-watching-virgin no more!!!

I used to work for a company called CH2M Hell.

1) Chill workgroup, nice people 2) Doing something I love 3) 40 hours per week ... no more, no less 4) Damn good money Fortunately, for each of the above, my current job comes extremely close to what I'm lookin for. Just wish I had a shorter commute.

I will be reborn as an "old hand".

But that doesn't matter now, cuz soon, oh so soon.... oh so soon... mmm, I can almost taste it.... no matter what happens....

I wasn't talking to you, foo'. Glad you brought that up, actually. Cuz I've been wondering, why, after finally contributing some bucks a few months ago, I still can't choose my own title. Did I not give enuf? Or was that a limited time promotion or somethin, limiting title-choosing to only paying members? Can't find it in the FAQ now.

What I'm kinda wondering: (1) Before someone gets banned, do they get ample warnings thereof? I'm assuming they usually do, but are there some incidents where like a mod is having a shitty day and reads someone's post which just angers them soooo goddam much that they just decide, unilaterally, that it's the last straw, and the sprayer has to be banned? (2) Do bannings ever happen unilaterally, period? Or does such an action have be decided by a plurality of moderators? And are they supposed to try to get the signoff/approval of King Jon or perhaps King Yoda? I mean, it's really none of my business, cause it is a private website, yadda yadda, blah blah. True. Agreed. Just curious tho. To it's credit, this site seems to be more tolerant of off-color stuff than just about any other site I've spent much time on. Which is why I like it so much. But still..... I say delete posts, delete threads, lock threads, whatever ... but don't delete people. I can think of one, and only one, sprayer that I personally would have deleted.

seen recently: I've found Jesus -- He was behind the couch the whole time!

my official third-grade photo (meaning, circa 1981) was one of the worst photos of me, EVER. dorky early-80s kid haircut. right on the cusp of the 70s n' the 80s, and all the turbulent changes in pop culture that happened in that time. and, no, i'm not gonna share it.

none of the commutes I've had have been extremely long in actual time.... (my current one is 30-35 minutes, down to Feddl' Way, with a average speed of about 60 mph, so I don't mind it too much). but the longest, BY FAR... in terms of how far it made me feel like I was going... was when I used to live in Wallingford and commuted over the bridge to Bellevue. downtown Bellevue, no less. [shudder] GawwDAMN that place left a nasty taste in my mouth every day. (well, mostly the place I was working, but also the city itself). Fortunately didn't have to stay there longer than about 2 months. there were a few times when I took my bike on the bus in the morning, though, and would ride home over the I-90 bridges and then up Lake Wash. Blvd... about 14.5 miles. that always made the day end on a fun note.

turns out I can't go skiing the weekend of the 26th/27th. I can however go this coming weekend (either day). who wants to go?!?!

GODDAM MOTHERFUCKIN SHIT FUCK PISS COCKSUCKIN FELCHING PIECE OF SHIT DOGFUCKIN BITCHES!!!!! OK.. just had to get that out of my system. Lex and I drove up to Rainier this morning for the 10+ inches of freshiez... and .... wouldnt ya know it, the piss-ant ranger biiatch at the entrance station tells us the road to Paradise wasn't gonna be open at ALL today, cuz they got so much snow yesterday and this morning. god damn cocksuckin federal government .... yep. our tax dollars at work. (explaination, for those who don't go to Rainier in the winter) .... they always plow the road to Longmire, but after a heavy snow, they sometimes don't finish plowing, and open, the road to Paradise till 10 or 11 am... and I'd forgotten that sometimes, just a FEW times per year, they don't open it at ALL on that given day. FAAACCKK!!!!!! i SO wanted to go skiing today... woulda been my first of the year. Didn't really feel like bustin a move up to Crystal or somewheres like that, woulda spent like almost the whole day driving. And I can't go tomorrow... I guess I could cancel me other plans, but don't want to. So, it ended up being a four-hour road trip. oh well. whatever. good times and talks with Lex, this guy I just met from TAY.com. We'll probably go next weekend, if the snow's good enuf. Thanks for reading me rants. And maybe you should thank ME now, since this'll make you feel better about being lazy around the house on a Saturday morning.
