Great news, glad to hear it. Continue baby that joint! (but not bogart it) Now you just have the shed those a-hole jerks you work for.

I hear that the U.N. is spraying smallpox in Gunks campgrounds.

Second Ascent in Ballard has many copies. You can order online.

Well, that proves it. Saddam paid Osama to crash those planes.

No, I'm just keeping a spreadsheet. Posts per day, obscenities per sentence, that sort of thing. Pink and G-spotter are tied for 'most creative perversions.'

back atcha, thanks

Probably left in the Index parking lot on Saturday 5/31. White Petzl Ecrin Roc, red & yellow stripe down the middle, name inside.

This is in a thread opposing a campground in the Gunks. Godwin in 3, 2, 1...

"...13-year-old Daniel Smith couldn't move his body to get down from his bunk bed. He couldn't lift his legs or even swallow. "Daniel...was temporarily paralyzed, his doctor later determined. "The cause: a tick found along his hairline at the nape of his neck... "Tick paralysis, though relatively rare..." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2004464883_tick08m.html

Hear, hear. I watched the Wide World of Sports too and also remember his work during the Olympics, particularly the 1972 massacre of the Israelis. I always enjoyed his commentary regardless of the event.

The article is about the APPALACHIAN MOUNTAIN CLUB, not the AMERICAN ALPINE CLUB. Your post above says AMC is out and now the deal is with the AAC, but how do I know that? Anyway, on the theory that there's at least two sides to every controversy, I give credence (and respect) to the article's description of the area being hammered. I volunteer in a National Park here and am familiar with the challenges of trying to keep an area from turning into a desolate junkyard vs. keeping access limited in order to preserve natural conditions. The further you post the less credible you seem. The MP isn't trying to close off climbing access. You need to realize that more people and more pressure on a piece of land has to bring a conservationist response to prevent it from being ruined for everyone. Fees are one method, or part of a larger strategy, to achieve that. The article also explains that the fees will bring facilities. It's not just that someone is going to start charging, You're going to *get something* for your money. I don't see why Northwest climbers should care. You haven't come across with anything that explains what's the outrage.

Reads like 'plastered to the couch' might be the better phrase.

Remember how wood ice axes had that slider ring and leash with a stop screw in the axe shaft? I want a slider ring with its wrist loop. I have a wood ice axe with the stop screw but the slider is missing.

yeah, I noticed you on this board a lot more

He means "I's has withdrawn the troops," duh.

That sucks. She didn't answer my email and I need that gear more than you do! (of course, you know how to use it)

If I got an intern, then I would be posting from home. ...or the Benton County Justice Center (depending upon her age, of course). Aren't you married?

Does it clinch the deal if he says yes?

Jeebus, what sort of liquor laws do you have there?

Now, that's just crazy talk.

My French overlords let everything through but write it all down for use against me later.

1 room for *storing* shooting stuff 1 room for reloading 1 room for machining parts to make machine guns basement shooting range satisfied?

I never learn.
