Cuing up America-hating rhetoric by j_bot and prole in 3...2...1...

Yeah, it was the $ - that did it. That's why 'we' lost. Somebody call the waaaaaahmbulance. Quick!

Where did this crazy challenge to the notion that government should be organized as a guaranteed pay, benefit, and pension dispensing mechanism with a sideline in providing essential services come from? While we're at it - where did these people get the idea that their primary function in life is something other than providing for the financial needs of unionized government employees? Estonia is OK with austerity

We'd tell you, but then we'd have to kill you.

You can not stop the youtube videos, no matter how you try, Sobo. If you strike me down, I will only come back more powerful...

Excuse me, would either of you have some Grey Poupon?

YMMV. We took the talus in to the Ice Cliff Glacier last year, and the creek out, and found the latter much preferable.

And love that LA tap water! Yummmmm!

'Cause they're tired of living in a moldy backwater? Courtney and Prole -- Huge L.A. Fans!! Who needs rain, when you can have a brown cloud of smog hovering over your head like a stale, rotten-egg fart that never goes away!

And it's so cute how everyone here has such an interest in Cali all of a sudden

Yesterday I was walking down the street and noticed a red laser trace on my chest. I quickly jumped into a bush. Shit that was close!!

Gorgeous! Awesome!

Hey Sobo, have you been given access yet to the Obama Administration's hit list for US citizens over there in the 'stan?

Last June was actually pretty nice.

Hang BLTs off of them - even easier to find!

bolt it, sporto!!

There are always people ready to offer unsolicited advice. Oh well. :-)

My youngest son and I on the top of Mt. Si

My 10-year old has been up Si at least a half-dozen times over the last few years, but we always seem to go when the Haystack is very wet, or covered in snow. Yesterday we headed up and bagged it. We left the Little Si TH midday and go to the first lookout point on top in 1:45(!), and then continued straight on to the scramble. As I wanted this to be safe and stress-free, I had brought harnesses and a 30m glacier rope. I climbed up 100 feet only to be a bit short of a nice tree anchor, so my son "simul-solo'd" with me about 20-30 feet before I threw a cordelette around the tree and brought him up. "Pitch 2" got us to the ridge, and "Pitch 3" to the summit. It was good fun and practice/intro to multi-pitch "climbing". :-)

Gestapo??? LOL. Welcome to the Tin Foil Cap Society of Hyperbole and Paranoia!

I think you have to contact an admin to do this.

Which of course you know with your omniscience and top-secret security clearance.
