Actually, I first saw the 'new larger pot' at REI and thought it would make an intriguing snow melting machine when 'mounted' to a simmerlite. The fins on the bottom lock into the supports with no chance of slippage. The down side is that the Jetboil pot is twice as heavy (with both top and bottom lids) as my Ti pot (12 oz. vs. 6 oz). Still, the weight penalty might be worth the faster melt times. And as Ride said, more sleep. Not sheep. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I compared you to the average green vest. Not the person wearing said vest.

Brevity works, too. Not always. Live isn't always simple. Too bad some people can only think in Sound Bites.

'Mount'? He's not screwing a sheep here. Set pot on stove. Also freak, did you comprehend the description 'the new larger pots'? The average REI employee would recognize that he's talking about the new larger pot not the old smaller cup But, of course, you're smarter than the average green vest.

Go to the thriftstore and buy a nylon windbreaker. Anything else is just a waste of money.

Goatboy, Weren't you the one who went poking through the mounties website to find something to make fun of them about? Yes, I think you were.

There have been many verbal attacks (some quite nasty) on the Mountaineers on CascadeClimbers. Therefore, club members may feel defensive. And the best defense is a good offense (someone once said.) Quite simple, really.

Why not tax cap gains at same rates as income tax?

Currently, capital gains are taxed when realized. When you die, however, your heirs get a stepped up basis and don't have to pay taxes on the unrealized cap gains.

This is actually a famous Rush Limbaugh quote.

Oh my.

If you're squeamish about sharp knives and taut ropes, there's another way to deal with this situation. Tie a prussik above the belay device, and girth hitch a series of runners so that the victim can tranfer their weight from the belay device by standing on the loop of a runner. Then they can pull hair or clothing out of the belay device and then sit back down and reweight. Remove prussik and away they go.

Jim here is telling us that poor people don't have multi-milllion dollar estates. I would have never figured this out by myself.

This is a verbatim ripoff of ExtremoMtnDude.

I think I got infected on the internet. It hurts when I pee.

They have a crack just like that at Vertical World.

I see it coming... next will be a comment about bukaki... too late It's spelled B-U-K-K-A-K-E.

Why is it irrational to think that Teresa Heinz Kerry is a dingbat?

Budweiser? Obviously a poser.

Sure. Drill away.
