somebody has way too much time on their hands

I was there 2 weeks ago... still snow patches up there and delicious water meltoff

The Decameron. Original translation into English. Mirthful, entertaining, enlightening view into the medieval world.

look! Redneckus Cascadia! notice the mating mullet and torn tshirt plumage! redneck... or an SOD fan: Fuck the middle east There's too many problems They just get in the way We sure could live without them They hijack our planes They raise our oil prices We'll kill them all and have a ball And end their fuckin' crisis BEIRUT, LEBANON-Won't exist once we're done LIBYA, IRAN-We'll flush the bastards down the can SYRIANS and SHIITES-Crush their faces with our might Then Israel and Egypt can live in peace without these dicks

I use Scarpa Mantas - they are leather and I nik-wax them like crazy. I've used them on Baker, Rainier, Shasta, and Hood. No problems with cold or wet feet.

I kind of agree with your POV on this one... OTOH, I can't help but think of that movie with Samuel L... "Is this a m****?"

If this arithmatic were the result of Hezbollah's moral restraint, then the respective casualties would mean something. Given that the only reason that Israeli casualties are that low because Israel is prepared for such attacks, and Hezbollah's weaponry is less effective at killing civilians than they'd like, we are once again confusing things which are physically equivalent with those that are morally equivalent. By that logic if the Germans had succeeded in killing only a fraction of the number of German civilians that England had succeded in killing , despite the Germans's best efforts to kill many more, the German's would have been the morally superior actor in that conflict. I don't know about that... the 18->600 strikes me as a disproportionate retaliation, which really has no parallel to WWII. A more apt parallel would be WWI where the assassination of one man escalated into the deaths of millions.

more like 300-400 years.

Israel is bombing Lebanon? Isn't that a norm rather than an exception in the last 50 years of history? Plus ca change...

that's just great. get beat up for rooting for a different SPORTS TEAM? Like that really matters. It's a damn GAME. Only a total impotent loser finds a need to behave this way.

Anyone been up there recently? How much have the crevasses opened up?

and I want my anger to be healthy and I want my anger just for me and I need my anger not to control yeah, and I want my anger to be me and I need to set my anger free

yeah, that's the only place

you went to REI and expected differently? who's the moron?

sorry, my memory is getting bad. I thought he did more on that one. Looks like Pipers is the only one with him heavily on it then?

Saucerful of Secrets

Probably another person who glissaded with crampons and caught a point.

Pay attention darling, pay attention. REI is worse than voting for president - your vote for president actually matters! I complain about REI because they have consistantly disenfranchised the owners (members) and consolidated control in the board. The only way the owners (members) can get a canidate up for election to the BOD is by a writein campaign featuring 1% of active members (yes I actually received the canidate package). Then you have the possibility of being elected. There can only be 2 writein canidates on the BOD, all other members are nominated by the CEO and BOD. Ergo the owners can effect minimal change over the company they own - the managers control and run the company at their whim. Because the managers have chosen to do some decent things (green power, etc.) doesn't change the cronycapitalism way they now function. Cronyism's ultimately bad for us in both the small and large sense. Sorry if that make me selfrighteous Would I like REI to operate differently? Yes, but I'd like even more to have a say in their operation! If the membership chose the course it'd be different. you said you were born in DC... you should be used to lack of representation

Pay attention darling, pay attention. REI is worse than voting for president - your vote for president actually matters! That's hilarious. Electoral College, honey, that's what matters. Actually it's the two parties that matter. The Oligarchies select our candidates for us.

Tuna melt!

minx and archenemy seem to have far too much experience with ED... things that make you go "hmmmm".

You guys are scaring me. I better stay home.
