Wow, even Minx is getting in on it. You know it's bad when even the girls are getting desperate

gorilla's? That must be the other reason your not getting any And I'm already married to one of the cute little thinngs

That might explain why y'all bitch and moan about not getting any, while I had dinner with 7 women on friday.

not a climbing trip but worst approach was to Goat Lake, down outside of Sun Valley. Started at 8:00 in the morning, and involved, being part of 2 parades, a flat tire, 2 utter gumbys one of whom exhausted herself and started throwing up, the second got half dollar sized blisters, falling into the creek etc etc etc... Teaching said herd of gumbys that hiking at night isn't that bad when you remember extra batteries for your headlamp. Then finally stumbling into camp at 12:00, being scared shitless then chased by a herd of pack goats, who wanted to gore our dogs. Damn weekend didn't end until I had lost my wallet, driven all night to retrieve said wallet, so i could sit on plane on the runway while the electrical system shorted out. and no, I wasn't and halucinating.

Dude, you shouldn't be doing that with your crampons. They've got poky bits.

Thank you for contributing to it!

poor Cobra Commander. Explains so much It's all becoming clear, maybe that's why i'm such an embittered gen-x'er? Then again, maybe it's just because people suck. Except for you guys of course.

Whose is this? Bush's?

All I've ever really wanted in a President is someone who's more articulate, intelligent, and compassionate than myself. I don't have to agree with his decisions or his political stances, but at the very least I'd like to be sure that he's considered the problem from the oppositions perspective as well, and tried to see why his opponents disagree with him, and understand their arguments. At least then he could formulate actual responses as to why his way is better. And somehow we get monkey boy. wtf? I've come across a number of people who seem to think that any plan implemented now is better than the right plan implemented later. I actually had one friend tell me that the best road to wealth was to find someone wealthy, and do everything they tell you to. wtf? How a bright guy got pulled into a quasi-legal pyramid scam i'll never know. Now i'm just ranting though.

with that complete lack of alpine insulation they'd freeze to death on Das Toof.

I wonder, would Vegetarians be opposed to growling in the bedroom , or So many questions so little value.....

In the words of our so highly esteemed vice president. Go yourself.

I've got the Washington State one and use it all the time. It kind of eats up ink, but it means custom maps for each trip and no trips to REI to pick up theirs. Haven't used the special paper though, I always just ziplock mine.

Is is 30 liters of Beer the new standard in Avalanche safety equipment?

Hell of deal for some pretty highly reviewed cams. $33 a piece or $260 for the set. Mgear Flexcams

Does anyone have any good, lightweight (i.e. dried) spiced wine recipes? I'm stuck doing an Avy course in a couple of weeks and am going to have to bivy up by Stevens Pass, and was hoping to make the evening a little more enjoyable with some tasty post freeze dried crap drinks Thanks in advance!

yeah but what a pain in the ass! if you hadn't waited til the last minute I'd send the whole seduction meal but .... "Penne al Pepperoni...." 1 Green Pepper 1 Yellow Pepper 1 Red Pepper 1 Small-med yellow onion (or 1/2 a mayan onion) Slice thin and Saute in Olive oil until tender. Spoon it all into a blender, add 2/3 cup heavy cream (or 1/2 and 1/2), a little oregano, a little basil, and a little parsley (other spices to taste). Blend until somewhat smooth (lots of small chunks of peppers and onions (3-4 mm diameters)) Serve over Penne al dente. Add white wine, a nice salad with some bitter herbs and balsamic vinegar/olive oil salad dressing, good bread, and you'll be set. Looks like it takes a lot of works, beautiful presentation, goes well with candles, and it won't leave you with that heavy food gut bomb, so theres no digestion delay in the canoodling! I'd send you the desert and salad to go with them but don't know them off the top of my head! and good luck

So the real question of the day is how many more posts before this ends up in spray? If your going to make claims like that we want speed records from officialy sanctioned observers!

mine is tattooed on my ...... Must be pretty short then... How would you know?

deep breath, count to three, relax.... repeat. We get it, Swaterfall isn't asking for advice though, just ranting..... Everyone's either had partners who were greek gods in their own minds or will in the future... part of the fun is bruising their ego's for them!!

I wonder if fat kills brains cells?

If you live close to Spokane just stop by Mountain Gear. I haven't lived there for 10 years, but between my wife and I we've only ever bought 1 pair of boots fomr someone else. Those guys rock, they'll set you up right and they're all pretty hard core so they know what you'll need even if you don't.

classic engineering wisdom for all you geeks in hiding "There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it twice." (i.e. after it breaks the firs time) and When trying to estimate how long something will take, start with your initial estimate, double that, and add 20%. It's amazing how close that usually comes out.

I just got a pair of handheld radios for christmas (you know, the annoying little thing for people who can't yell over the wind and water in the Icicle?) That can access both the FRS and GMRS bands. I was looking at getting the license for the GMRS use and realized they're $75 bones a piece and they have to be renewed every 5 years. At $150 for the initial license that's more expensive than the damn radios! Seems like an ripoff for a little thing that has a maximum range of 5 miles that will only see use climbing multipitch stuff. So my question is.. is there anyway to get around this? Does anyone just use the FRS bands? Just not pay the license? Has anyone been nailed by the FCC for not paying the license fee? freakin government monkeys
