Anyone see the MST3000 where they have a body count running in the corner of the screen for "Rambo?" Now *that* is comedy. Red Dawn Red Dawn was the first movie to be released with a Motion Picture Association of America PG-13 rating.[1] At one time, Red Dawn was considered the most violent film by the Guinness Book of Records and The National Coalition on Television Violence, with a rate of 134 acts of violence per hour, or 2.23 per minute.[2] That's an assinine measure of violence. Level of violence is measured by the explicit nature of the scenes in the film and their emotional impact, not some dumbfuck number of times per hour somebody gets beaned on the head with a wiffle bat. Shit, Tom and Jerry has more acts of violence than Red Dawn, by that measure. It's a C grade kid's film. Of course, you read it on the web, so it must be so. Watch the final scene in Taxi Driver, which was made by a real director, with real actors, and tell me which movie leaves a more lasting impression.

Dave Page in Fremont will do it; I did the same thing on a pair of Garmonts, and they are as good as new. TBTW, the shop has crazy hours.

Sweet jesus. Attention whores "R" us.

"North Carolina" and "alpine" in the same sentence? Didn't you mean "faux-alpine" or "pseudo-alpine?"

I should have been more specific; there sure as hell is nothing glorious or noble about anyone's conduct in any of those situations.

Wilfred Owen, poet laureate of the dark, stinking chemical apocalypse.... If only the "War to End All Wars" had been true... thanks Bill. I think it is safe to say that those wars were true, and in the benefit of all humankind.

WHAT??? "Active wealthy male readers with average income over $91,000."

Dan- you can pick up a used Sunnto Vector or Altimax pretty cheap on ebay or cc.com. They are bomber, and uber-reliable if you set it to a known elevation when you head out. Mine has saved my butt many times.

Upon further reflection, I smell a rat. YES, she is an IDIOT, and I am in no way repudiating that. But, can any adult really be that dense? Unlikely. FOX NEWS of all outlets breaks a story that suddenly makes all of McCain's insanity a thing of the past, and a new clean slate awaits, conveniently right after a series of crushing defeats? Waaaay too convenient. A disposable outsider as a convenient scapegoat to explain away a political catastrophe? Yup.

Ding!ding!ding! Funny how she *refused* to release her medical records!

Peter- do us all a favor and crawl back to the primordial slime cave with Palin and the Pope. The adults have real work to do.

Good shop to mount Dynafits: Seattle or Eastside
korup replied to intheways's topic in the *freshiezone*
Maybe I am insane, but I assume customer service is a crucial part of any business. The three times I've stopped by the Seattle store, the punks behind the counter simply couldn't be bothered to stop yacking about getting wasted and/or "sick park sessions" to acknowledge the fact that a customer was actually in the shop and wanting help. I will happily steer people elsewhere. -

Pro Ski in N Bend is still run by Martin Volken and is highly recommended (the ski tech, Caley, knows his sh*t). The Seattle location isn't, and it shows (shopkeeps are too busy "bro-brahing" to interact with lowly customers). Second Ascent also does a great job mounting D'fits. Marmot charges double what they should. -
I heard the news when you did, second hand. It's even more staggering to get it straight from the horse's mouth.

She cannot name a single publication she reads, not even "People" or "Reader's Digest?" http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkWebP2Q0Y

A 20 year old college student who supports the GOP? Yeah, right. Obviously, the story is fake.

479 Euros? Sweet jesus, do they push you uphill, or give you a "happy finish?" thanks for the links.

I wonder how long they've known? 25 is a nice, round number, and to profile El Cap- saving the best for last?? And the last paragraph on the last page ends with a "dirt nap." Funny, eh?

Why is Arcteryx the only company making serious ski bibs? Patagucci, THF, others used to make sweet ski bibs, now it is all just pants...am I now just another angry old guy like McCain? Second Ascent has piles of superb used almost new bibs- in women's, and men's small. Arghhhhh!
-
Oh crap. I knew it was too damn good, too damn glossy, and too expensive to survive forever.
-
Prole- I thought the same thing. The subtext there is straight out of a KKK rally. McCain is either staggeringly clueless, or trying to stir up really bad sh*t to help out his numbers....

Didtcha mean "STFU NOOBIE GAPER JONG?"
