From an email this morning: "Dear Justin, We messed up. Yesterday, as the people of Alabama dealt with the devastating aftermath of an intensely damaging and life-taking tornado, we neglected to put a stop to the distribution of an email with the header: "Mother Nature hates you. Deal with it." This was extremely insensitive and offensive, and we are so sorry. Please accept our sincerest apologies for this mistake. What was intended to be witty marketing copy may have been when we wrote these words two weeks ago, but in light of current events and the suffering of people affected by Mother Nature's wrath, it is not only not witty, it is completely unacceptable. We at Backcountry.com send our deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and to everyone now faced with rebuilding their homes and their communities. And again, we extend our sincerest apologies for our lack of foresight and our complete insensitivity in sending yesterday's email. Sincerely, Jill Layfield CEO Backcountry.com

"Bats, they are sick. I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid. I ask Jobu to come, take fear from bats. I offer him cigar, rum. He will come." Later... "I'm pissed off now, Jobu. Look, I go to you. I stick up for you. You don't help me now. I say "Fuck you," Jobu, I do it myself."

Madness. Steck is the man.

I'm pretty sure I hyper-extended my knee. I did it 4 months ago and it's still not 100% back to normal. Symptoms: -Hurts -Hurts standing up after sitting for a while -Hurts to extend fully -The classic "morning stretch" in bed each morning results in a weird "ratcheting" of the knee -Feels like there are about three additional movements in my leg while walking compared to my normal leg's stride. -Tight Achilles Tendon -Balancing on the ball of the foot of that leg with knee bent results in "sewing machine knee". Regardless, I'm not willing to rest on it anymore, and I've been working out on it again but I'd like to hear any thoughts or advice for future therapeutic action. Thanks!

Thanks!

Any way you can post the manual for the tethers?

I look into the face of that child and see his mother: Sarah Palin

it IS nice to see seeds now n' again and remember the old days... Oh yeah. Nothing like busting up a block of seed-filled Mexican brick weed with a pair of pliers and trying to burn it with a blow torch as it smokes and tastes like the tire it came across the border in. Those were the good old days... you forget exhaling through the spoof! nothing like the comingled stink of dryer sheets Or into the couch cushions in your friend's older brother's basement "apartment" at their parent's house.

Way to Go, Fuck Heads.

This is bullshit.

I respect Raindawg's right to have his wrong opinion: "Your rights start where my feelings end." You know that crazy guy who begs for free coffee at McDonald's every morning? Remember the one time where he took a 2x4 and banged on the outside of the building with it until they gave him free coffee and he went away? You know how he spend the whole rest of each day standing on the same corner yelling the same crazy shit about Agent Orange and Battlestar Galactica at passing cars and unsuspecting pedestrians? That's Raindawg.

Tired of myself? Never. Tired of vulgar you? Always. No one cares? Actually, I am regularly thanked for my so-called "drivel" by folks who appreciate my perspectives, many of whom will probably never post in cc.com because of the likes of you. You can,in fact, expect a growing number of people agreeing with me. By the way, you, "Rad" and "Water" have stepped up to prove my point: many in the climbing "community" are antagonistic to an ethic that argues restraint when it comes to altering the environment. Dumb it all down to your standards? Take out a stump because it's incovenient? Cut down the forest at Index so you can climb drier? Whatever. Most of the rest of the outdoor world has long passed you by. I'm so glad your are regularly thanked by the nut jumpers who share your single opinion that you express here endlessly. Your numbers are growing. You are Legion. You should join your Hordes and not post here. The way that you tirelessly and condescendingly express your same stale and increasingly irrelevant ideas from your "Holier Than Thou" perch high above the squalid masses inspires many. Some ridicule and deride you, to great mirth. Others shit in a the middle of a trail, hoping you may step in it as you pad barefoot, shirtless in cut-off jean shorts, towards your next bold free solo. Others carve your name over ancient hieroglyphs, a message to future climbers that it was you who cared the most. Your seeming obliviousness to your own hypocrisy is also a source of inspiration. You seem to care so much and act so little, with words alone. If I had the time I'd send down some Old Growth just to watch you, standing by the side of a litter strewn and stump devoid highway, on a thick layer of moldy futon mattresses, under a chalk encrusted boulder, next to a cranked boombox, surrounded by sweaty and yelling twenty-somethings with no concept of how correct your opinions are or how to correctly enjoy Nature and live Life, in your full ceremonial headdress, shed a single tear down your proud visage. Here's a quiz: Why is this hole in the ground like your manifesto crumbled into a ball and stuffed into your mouth?

Dawg: You must get tired of yourself at some point? Your drivel serves no function. No one cares.

When I'm in the Hills, I shit like a man then smear it on my bare chest and face like a man. And by "Hills" I mean "standing on a stump at the edge of the highway".

"We'll fight this war with germs and atoms, destroy our only home. Our mutated descendants battle the next with sticks and stones."

As long as no bolts are placed to "murder the impossible", who gives a fuck what happens?

Please explain "irony" to the people in Fukushima.

You're a fucking moron. I'm sure you'd spend the time spewing your dumb ass ideas at the Japanese mother searching the ruins of civilization for her lost children.

Here comes Raindawg to the rescue!!!
