i've read somewhere that once white men make a little money and get to middle age, it's kinda hard for them to see their own stupidity. any truth to that?

BZZZZT! And the board goes back... he's connectionally challenged. but he has excuses. at least i have excuses for him. not sure what yet, but i'm sure there will be no shortage. but his photogs are cool!

i know the connections might be a wee bit hard for you to see, but to put it simply, you are failing to entertain me. more hover fly pics please. yer photogs are cool.

hmmm does that say WA? i guess i never knew darrington was spelled WA. dumbass. btw, don't tell me to go read yer previous chin dribble, cuz i ain't that much of a masochist. the above was enough.

no defense of dwayner or pope here, but do you really advocate an approach to climbing that has no considerations of one's impact on both climbing and the environment? i suppose you're simply running off against the demagoguery of dwayner and pope.... not that it really matters; all of this catterwauling is simply here for my entertainment.

still going; good work people. it's really the new perspectives that are keeping this thread going strong. but the following? i don't know who you do your pull-ups with, but middle-aged complacency and the attendant fitness challenges are a poor excuse for eliminating climbs that have stood as awesome testaments to the acceptance of particular types of challenges (and continue to provide these challenges for those interested). it seems as though maybe you've never really understood this type of climbing; that's cool. but some climbs need to and will continue to exist in their original state.

have you been doing yer yoga?

unfortunately not so, offie. my one trick: left sloper, right pinch sloper, right heel, left pinch sloper, heel to toe, dyno hard, fall offa right hand sloper. scream, repeat. practice and more practice is the secret to this trick; 50+ times now!

hey tim, looks like the links give you the approach, but not the routes. pm me if you want beta.

who suggested sport climbing was "necessary" to get strong? you evidently know very little about the game, NOR what bachar was doing to get "strong". what's funny is that i think bachar moved on, and you seem to be stuck admiring him circa 1975.

but even if it f'in matters, croft was there with seemingly way less ego. and i loved michael reardon, rip. effin fanboi.

fanboi.

you have a wayyyyy over-blown sense of self-importance, fanboi.

hey fanboi, you are an ignorant fool who lives in a fantasy world. get a life already, seriously. who gives a flying fuck what bachar did or any fucker did with climbing? do your own damn thing and enjoy it, instead of speculating about other climbers and their motivations. for all i know, bachar was an arrogant prick back in his heyday, only concerned about one-up-manship and the like; it seems like he changed, but i really don't give a damn (about him as a climber; him as a father and a human being: that's a different story). go ahead and live in 1972 or 1690 or whatever fuck year you worship, but quite honestly i'm tired of hearing about your uphill walks to school through snow in both directions.

raindawg and pope have been ostracized ever since they turned into old skool fanbois dreamin their lives away. and you were just as busy back then bitchin about this place as you seem to be now. nothing has changed.

now it's off to try my siiiiick uber-proj dude. wish me luck!

that's it, donald, hide yer head in your ummm sand. and if that doesn't work? "I'm not playing with YOU anymore!"

that might not be a bad idea. i think switzerland's doing it very well.... hey if you act like an ass and ignore people's legit points whilst simply calling them vulgur names (what would your children think?), yer gonna get blowback, alphie.

prole is the lefty answer to kkk. and i say this as someone who's seemingly more in agreement with his sentiments than not.

well alrighty then; carry on!

while the situation gets worse and worse.

nothing personal, but: you just CANNOT let a few privately owned companies control the entire spectrum of discourse (which is what they are desperately trying to do).

bullshit. don't buy into the republican agenda. the issue is as clear as ever: a public option.

"After he faced heckling during a heated discussion about health care at a forum on Thursday, Mr. Kagen was confronted by a vocal opponent named Heather Blish, who identified herself as “just a mom from a few blocks away” and “not affiliated with any political party.” When interviewed by the local NBC affiliate, Ms. Blish insisted she was not a member of the Republican Party. But her page on the networking Web site Linked In said she was the vice chairwoman of the Republican Party of Kewaunee County until last year and worked on the campaign of John Gard, a Republican who ran unsuccessfully against Mr. Kagen last year."

communism acomin' our way!
