that guy was probably hoping for a stiff sentence

that videotape must be epic I bet they have it in cold storage along with the zapruder film

I know but you were sounding a little riled up so I decided to fan the flames a bit. mission accomplished I think you'd agree

whatever dude you got it all wrong it's above the slab

well he can certainly spray 5.11

what's scary is they are at peshastin

whatever you decide to get, rack 'em up at the car and hike in wearing all sizes possible, no matter the length of the approach.

Haha! I wasn't insulting you at all, I just thought it was a funny picture I just found on the web. I wasn't suggesting you have one of those vehicles. I actually have an iPod too and like it a lot. I do want that picture as a sticker for my bike though.

I guarantee changing from BD prophets/shrikes/x15 to CM quarks/BD cobras/etc will make you feel like you are in a different sport. The difference is huge. Also if you have the misfortune of climbing pick lines (such as high-season Professor's, etc) a pair of straight-shafted tools are miserable, rattling around in modern-tool picked out trash. Then again you can start up a new line, sometimes.

no one discontinues COBRA

They can be placed in a camming fashion like corded hexes. You can cut the wire off and thread them, but you need to make sure the cord you use is strong enough to handle leader falls, which can be difficult to find if the holes on the hexes are small. Maxim tech cord works well, but is expensive, often more than the hex you are threading with it. I like the stiffness of it though. The wired hexes in the midrange are sorta cool because you can feed them into places one-handed at times, something that can be difficult to do with a corded hex. In the end, you probably should just go climbing and see if you use them much. If you find them annoying, then perhaps it's time to change. Everyone will probably rant about how you shouldn't waste your money on hexes in the first place, but they still have their place on long moderate climbs, in my opinion. They also work well at places like tieton, where the cracks are irregular and funky.

not a true fan, but well-traveled in tv land.

but it ain't spock.

Yes it is an Orbital track.

What, do you own the DVD with subtitles? Not that I am surprised by this.

It's Möbius. And you are baboon of infinite proportion.

do you mean to tell me Cascadian is IN? Where are my gaiters

as usual, (the libs/dems/babies) come back with ad homy attacks against me when the truth is unavoidable.

I find it funny that if you (insert ludicrous hypothetical situation here) you'd all be (praising/condemning) (him/her), and that it all comes down to (latin phrase). -CobC.

Citing (whatever your link was) as an unbiased media source? A rather pedestrian attempt to derail the issue, don't you think?

In general, I've found spouting obscure cartoon trivia does not comprise a comeback in these threads.
