  1. Don't believe everything you see!
  2. Is he opening Al Capone's vault?

  4. fixed that for ya
  5. Gotta love how libtards also claim that conservatives "hate gays", but then they throw out homophobic "insults" (is this meant to be an insult Crux?) You guys are so utterly laughable Hey Rob, should I did up your "women are mostly stupid" thread with PrincessWookie?
  6. Fixed that for 'ya For Clinton, a woman's place was servicing him. But hey, let's have all the libtards forget that "inconvenient truth" and pretend to suddenly respect women.

    Lance!

    Good question. The post-cure effects of testicular cancer are not well-disseminated.
  8. I bet you wonder about that a lot. NTTAWWT sickie
  9. Classic! I'm gonna save this one and pull it out when needed (for motivating self or potential partners).
  10. When I saw that pic I too was thinking to myself how those miles of hollow unstable cornice wallowing looked soooo much better than the protectible solid rock underneath. The TFT is about 1 mile of ridge running, and the rock on the N side is not reported as solid and protectable. I've only climbed Torment myself and it was OK, but not solid by any means. Tom is right - it is harder in winter and conditions are critical, but this winter could set up to allow such an adventure. Personally, I will stick to less serious objectives however. :-)
  11. your mom? That was a quote from the video, fuckwit.
  12. "It's all retch and no vomit".
  13. Why to wallow TFT, if there is Yocum Ridge? Close to home too. Who said it was either-or?
  14. Approach via torment basin or Roush Basin (eldo) and do a high traverse. You could at least bag torment and evaluate from there. Go for it, Oleg! :-)
  15. Sounds good to me, computers would handle traffic way more efficiently. Envision WA state with cars actually merging properly into traffic from on-ramps!
  16. Trip: Thomson (Thompson) - West Ridge Date: 10/6/2012 Trip Report: Great fall weather, short days. Options? My friend JP and I thought Thomson would fit the bill. We met at the ungodly hour of 4:45 and headed up to the pass. Headlamps out of the parking lot until nearly Kendall Catwalk. I rocked out on the iPod to pass the monotony, while JP ran ahead of me most of the way. We could smell the smoke from the rampant east side fires even in town, and as the sun rose, we saw there would be a lot of haze, and campfire-like odors all day. The boulder field was less annoying than I last remembered it, but we chose a line to the right, almost abutting the wall of rock and that made for more firm ground. The short section of class 4 before the notch got the blood pumping, but not enough to thaw our numb fingers. By the time I was roped up and leading out I was shivering a bit. It was 11 am. The first two pitches are great fun. We managed to not drop anything substantial on each other, just a biner I dropped. JP seemed to enjoy pitch 2 and 4, although he did ramble a bit on each. I led the first, the slabs, and short finish. JP stemming on the 2nd pitch: This route has some great exposure. I tried to take a couple shots on the second pitch to show it, but these don't do it justice, I am afraid: JP follows on the slab pitch: JP leading on the fourth pitch: KK leading out on the finishing pitch: We had the mountain all to ourselves, not seeing anyone until we were on the way down. We did two short raps and scrambled the rest. The boulder field on the East side was as horrible as I remember. Great lighting from the descent: The day reversed itself, with the sun setting just past Kendall Catwalk. Headlamps again. And iPod. This morning the plantar fasciitis was in full-effect. Sunset over Snoqualmie Pass: Gear Notes: Small alpine rack, helmet, iPod. Approach Notes: Dry, dusty.
  17. or bring a partner you can spoon with ;-)
  18. Some folks take these majors because they are relatively "easy". "Man I was premed but Chem 101 was soooo hard!". There's a whole bunch of different situations going on here, and Jon is on to something. What I find sad is we have so many great engineering schools and too few students pursuing it. So we end up importing tons of foreign educated folks, not because of our schools, but because of our students, and the lack of willpower to work on hard subjects. OTOH, we have a lot of schools that allow engineers and folks in hard science to avoid writing, literature, foreign languages, and other "soft" classes, when these unidimensional dufuses need exactly that balance (and keeping engineers in these classes could keep these liberal arts departments alive).
  19. Too busy with your own debate, eh? Sammy or Dave - who won, boner? Go Gary Cherone!
  20. "It's functionally equivalent..."
  21. It would take me 3 hours just to get to the base of the Torment climb. Shit.
  22. "Coexist"
