Just now listening to a public radio station. They ran a PSA that was primarily about driving challenges in the winter mountains. But twice in the announcement, they prominently mentioned avalanche awareness and once specifically said to be cautious immediately after a heavy snowfall.

Iluka's idea is reasonable, but what is the demographic that "media outlets" cater to? A few years ago we had a cold snap and sudden snowfall in Seattle at the start of one morning's commute. The local TV talking heads were out on the street providing blow-by-blow coverage. One guy was stationed at a bus stop. He concluded his report by reminding viewers to wear a coat, hat, and gloves.

How 'bout compromising with a ball and chain tattoo around the ankle?

Jeff2475, once you're back, please post a TR here (with lots of pictures).

There's still lovely Renton and Skyway Park Bowl

and everything came out fine

If it's a Reverso and it's worn, do you go up, then?

I was thinking of Meir Kahane and the direction his kind would take affairs if they could. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam each can and do produce crazy one-dimensional zealots who kill and oppress in the name of God. You don't have to sneer and be patronizing when you make a point.

Aw jeez, I said something conciliatory. I apologize. That doesn't belong in spray.

"May your glands get cancer?" Under the Patriot Act, that's a tazin'.

That's a cool response. We can meet halfway. I don't have a dog in this fight, anyway.

Dude, it's Tuesday. You need to cut back.

That's not the point. It's about higher principles, right? Same motivation as the reaction to this: DeChirsto offends you. Got it. Deal with it as best you can.

First Godwin I recall seeing here. Too bad it's with a picture of a Torah. Unimaginative.

Show us some of the other threats against the prez that you've seen here on this site.

I switched from an ATC to a B52 specifically because the ATC is so slow on rappel (at the top anyway). The B52 definitely is faster in that realm. I have no experience using it on static ropes, however.

Noooo! Didn't you read poor Rob's tale of Thailand? You'll get dengue fever and come back as cargo!

I don't want to derail the they're-worse/no-we're-worse train of thought here, but what about the nuclear bombs? I don't care if they all a bunch of goat-fucking water fluoridators as long as someone stable has the nukes under lock and key. As for the Bush crime family knowing about the assassination in advance, what about the fact that after weeks of negotiations between the White House & Congress, it is the Iraqi government that tells Bush what's in the appropriations bill they want him to veto? Given Bush's history, anything he or his toadies "know" must be wrong. Those witless incompetents are surprised by the contents of an American military spending bill! Imagining that they grasp machinations within a foreign country is ridiculous.

At Everest Gear, http://store.everestgear.com/421100.html. Usually +/- $100, here for $75. These fit my Scarpa Eigers and Garmont Tower GTXs. YMMV.

MAJOR MANDRAKE (raising his glass): What shall we drink to, sir? GENERAL RIPPER (with the eyes of a zealot): To peace on earth.

Yeah, OK, but I actually got up from my computer, went into a store, and saw it printed on REAL PAPER.

From the N. Y. Times: “…'bromance,' a strong relationship between two heterosexual men, which combines “bro,” from brother, and romance” “ 'post-kinetic environment'…military jargon, the site of an explosion, severe gunfire or a destructive engagement.” http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/23/weekinreview/23buzzwords.html

Today I was in a store and saw a display for the SPOT satellite beacon: “It could be the difference between coming home in coach and coming home in cargo.”

The trap sprung but on the wrong limpdick…apparently, an even limper one. You’re such a fool, you're dumber than nonsense. Hint: what thread was that in? And to PM me about it? What an assclown.
