thanks, Cliff

you scornful tease

Welcome back to the sandbox, Minx!

so much for you "cheeriness"... sun is gone, birds are no longer chirping. i said it with a big smile on my face, russkie boy. tsk, tsk, he's Bitter Cocoa Boy today.

Clipping a water bottle on to your harness is a geek-trend only surpassed by shorts over polypro. Maybe you should wear one of these Metolius bad boys: combination gear sling and hydration thang....you can safely suck down all the Red Bull you want while you're hangdoggin' before your desperate lunge for next the clip at Li'l Si or wherever...zzzzzz Does it have extra loops for the bolt drill, and bolting hardware?

I believe it is correct... nobody up until now has fallen in. I was talking with someone up there last year and they said a dog had fallen in though.

hysterectomies are acts of god? why'd they get an hysterectomy? Shit, somehow Kevbone found out Underworld's login.

possible, but not natural So you oppose artificial insemination or other types of fertility treatments for childless couples seeking to have a baby? It's not "natural" after all. And drugs to treat illnesses. Those are often synthetic, and not "natural", so we can't administer them to the sick? The whole "natural" argument is a losing one and problematic. "Marriage" is a loaded term, so I prefer something like "Civil Union" and it can be defined legally according to however the state (as represented by the people) wants to. The word "natural" would not be a part of that definition.

Exactly (on all three points).

and if you define kkk as an idiot, then his opinion has very little merit. the concept of marriage isn't exclusively christian, so saying christian notions need to prevail is asenine. i might draw the line at legitimizing marriage to non-humanoid animals though (cuz how can you be sure rover really isn't being forced into it with threats of a bath, or being fed cat fud?). eat a bag of dicks, SC

Good point. No, it's not a good point. If you define marriage as "between a man and a woman" both gay marriage and polygamy are equally wrong. Personally I'd like to see the state *out* of religious marriage, and religion *out* of civil unions. A church should not need a "marriage license" to wed a couple (or whatever) and the state should only define the legal contract bound between individuals (or groups thereof).

+1 I've noticed it too.

well don't feel too bad. the weather this w/e is gonna suck ass, so the only ones suffering will be those in the icicle, not in the cubicle.

Really? Gonna go with the intellect argument here? You realize Stephen Hawking isn't the president right? Patty Murray makes W look like Albert Einstein.

Summary: climbing Rainier is too hard, dangerous and unpleasant. Stay home. (less people means more fun for the rest of us... )

Man, you are dense.

Her "handlers" prepared whatever statement/teleprompter she read from. but then how did those handlers know it would be a debacle??? they were rooting for failure. Or they studied Cheney's speech from 1995...... Mo Rocca should have studied Cheney's past jokes, 'cos Cheney smoked him last night.

Good question. I don't know. I'd be willing to guess however that whatever "rescue" RuMR needed his partner would be able to handle and vice versa.

Not really. I'm sure quite a few people don't bother to learn this stuff. And calling it rinky dink is insulting to those teaching the classes. Many of them with experience that may actually surpass your own (GASP). DON'TCHA THINK? Montana Dude: quit while you are behind. This is painful to watch. RuMR: why do you torment everyone so?

is this a fancier way of saying bullshit? i was not immediately making the connection between me and members of the artiodactyla order... no, it's just a fancier way of (jokingly) accusing you of having predilections similar to those of Dru and his countrymen.

especially in the lower GI-tract of even-toed ungulates of the Ovis genus.

you should have been a lawyer
