I now officially have everything I ever wanted in life. As long as Gemini comes back in some capacity.

Yeah, I feel so left out! Maybe I just need to insult him... Hey, you're the love-child of my mailman, Janet Jackson, AND Tvashtarkatena YES!!! I finally got a PM, although it wasn't really what I was hoping for. No ire, no insults, nothing! It still made my day though.

Hey, you're the love-child of my mailman, Janet Jackson, AND Tvashtarkatena I wish...your mailman had been outta town that day. are you saying you wish for a threesome with JJ & my mailman? you prevert. I still haven't got a PM!? What can I do to incite roadking's to holy ire?

Does her amp go to 11? No. She doesn't have a pink torpedo.

You Portlanders should keep your eyes open for concerts by Gary Lowry at George Fox University. Ridiculously good classical guitarist, and he typically writes most of his material. A serious treat to hear in person.

That depends on your definition of "organic"

I helicopter in to summits, relax for a few hours, then helicopter back out to my cushy McMansion. I'd sort of like to be able to land on any summit without having to choose one I can land on though, so does anyone have recommendations for a lightweight explosive that I can hang off my harness to create a nice summit landing pad if I get there and there's no way to land?

mods, are you going to let this lousy commie punk vomit all over us?

oh, that wasn't a joke...

Honestly, where is this even possible? My gear-buying policy is to buy what I need when I need it. Don't have junk I don't use, and price pain is less if I "need" it. Wait til you go on a climb where you forsee this as a possible situation before you go out buying something ridiculous.

If you don't have anything positive to say, don't say anything at all.

somehow I knew that was coming

Dru, it's time to change your picture. That's all I have to say.

AC Slater, you dawg you!

bringin' da fiancee to da Panther family reunion AND visiting the cabin we're honeymooning in. w00t!

that's the FIRST warning sign to me. i'd only ever do business with someone here if I knew them as a person or knew that they were well known in a legit circle of friends.

that's something to moan about?

this seems like a good time to again lament the advent of high-bandwidth digital service. i never get service anymore in places my old phone used to do just fine.

Actually I've heard a few stories about the VA, but that's beside the point. I'm one conservative who's more than willing to consider this direction.

There's no getting around that fact. That alone does make me wonder if we'd be better of as a society by nationalizing health care. The fewer costs involved in a doctor visit, the cheaper the service. I do fear a little for the proven ability of the government to waste money and lose that benefit, but hey, who knows. This is about math, and it doesn't take a genius to deduce that the more middlemen you have making profits, the more society as a whole pays for the service, one way or another.

I know some hard working people

Looks like I missed your 10k post celebration, arch. congrats!

OK, two things. First, discussions on this board can literally begin with any given topic and end on something completely unrelated. Second, shut up, nobody reads your posts anyway.
