btw, i'll add that i understand all the moral outrage regarding certain occurences. preying on children in the service of one's libido/maladjustments is indeed almost as reprehensible as carpet-bombing them. but remember that when we allow our moral outrage to be our guide, we lose our ability to evaluate, ie our humanness.

lobotomies? i thought it was agreed upon that cheese graters and acid was the way to go.

and we all know that if polanski is not extradited, then all hell breaks loose and every perv sees it as a green light. and we all know that in the days of the wild west when you'd take perps behind the barn and string 'em up by the balls, rape and incest and such was wayyyyyy less common. gimme a break.

hmmmm, i fail to see the connection except in a most abstract tangetial way.

ummm do you all give a shit about what the person MOST AFFECTED by this situation thinks, or is y'all's moral outrage the most significant aspect of this case? if that's the case, that's kinda shitty because it makes y'all seem just a wee bit selfish, dontcha think?

It's kinda funny when the actual victim says "please let's drop this thing it's been a long time and i'm over it" and the law and order types continue to hound it and call for blood, but don't realize they are simply hurting the original victim, showing once again that what's most important for these law and order types is NOT the victim.

ummm, congratulations?

27' Catalina for rent as live-aboard over the winter. Self-contained with range, oven, cd player, shore power, bathroom for pissing, etc., and marina has showers, laundry, and bathrooms. Downtown Ballard, one block from Ballard Ave. $425 a month, and ~20 a month for electricity.

interested in living on a sailboat? we just put our 27' catalina up for rent as a live-a-board for the winter. self-contained, marina has shower and laundry, and one block to ballard avenue in downtown ballard. $425 per month and ~20 a month for electricity. we'd like a 6 month lease, but this is perhaps negotiable.

sure, why not. tell him what to do. i think his technique will get better as he climbs and gets stronger. and he's already climbing 11b. and he might start getting on some harder climbs with someone better than him who can help him with beta and technique.

i don't know what that workout is.

what's the generic metolius workout? if it's the 20 minute workout with x pullups every minute on various holds, it seems like a pretty good one. he's a v double digits 5.13 climber, and it kicks his ass. do that thing twice a day three days a week (monday wednesday friday) for the next three months and you'll make your goal.

i dunno.... it's technically no more a "tax increase" as is the forced purchase of auto insurance (a republican-led effort). and my statement above is an indication neither of support or condemnation of said policy.

thanks kkk on the glenlivet 15 french oak recommendation:

depends on what yer climbing.

specifically, the glenlivet 15. and thanks jon and offwhite, i'll try your recommendations too. kidna fun this scotch tasting thing.

i don't think it was the peat smoke exclusively that turned me off laphroaig; it seemed it was the fact that there was seemingly nothing besides/beyond the peat smoke. just strong alcohol. it was their 10 year/cheapest stuff....maybe the 15 year or older would be different? i'll give your recommendation a try.

i guess we'll just keep enjoying our "assumption" then.

actually, i'll want it to celebrate my survival.

so after having sampled some scotch over the years, i never understood how people could choke the stuff down. i thought it to be another humanoid affectation, like tattoos or fetish amputations. laphroaig 10 year comes to mind: ummmm i'll take the hickory smoke flavor for 3.99 a bottle at fred meyers thank you. but then a friend gave me some glenlivet 12 yr, and it made sense. i could actually ENJOY this crap, cuz there were flavors to pick out, like flowers and fruit and stuff. neat! so i'm looking for other recommendations. what are the scotch drinker's favorites, and, importantly, why? what are the reasons and flavors and etc that makes ya want this one?

plus, it's not about "this side" or "the other side"; we are trying to remove this type of thinking completely.

Yup. STFU, boner mebbe it's the glass of cotes du rhone with lunch, but this shit just busts me up.

i could be wrong, but i do doubt that his ramblings were a business decision. all bets are off as to whether or not they currently are. i'm not a big fan, nor was i ever (but boy did he blow my little country boy mind when i first saw him with black flag in the early '80's).

firstly, when in his life did he say these words? secondly, anyone who makes a little money is disqualified from speaking about privations? hmmmm, i'm not sure i follow this logic. having said that, i used to share your "sensibilities", if i may assume that i understand them.
