easy to say, now that you've got yours Now that I've got my 4,400 sqft multi-million dollar mansion?

So how many people live your house? I'm planning to burn down my home to erase this blight from the landscape, but then I'm going to need a place to live. Do you have an extra room? Nope, we're all stocked up on crazy. You're right, resisting urban sprawl is wrong. After all, we've already fucked the planet, why stop now?

Sure has. My father worked for MS before they even had a campus. I remember when the first four buildings were put up in Redmond. It's totally crazy how much Redmond/Woodinville have changed. Oh Noes! I don't feel sympathy for the developers who are going to recoup the losses of their multi-million dollar McDonald houses!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I MUST BE ONE OF THOSE ECO-TERRORISTS!

Maybe you guys should burn it for me, that way I can collect the insurance money. Then we can blame it on eco-terrorists. Apparently, that's the way to do it.

My house is purple. And no, it's not a 4,400 sqft mcmansion hastily erected in a rural community in an effort to squeeze more money out of a dying housing market at the expense of the environment and society.

I love how only the coach's kid gets to pitch.

happiness is wanting what you have, and not wanting what you don't.

Hey, I'm not saying it was an intelligent, or effective demonstration. And yeah, yeah, I know -- burning housing materials produce toxic fumes and that's bad. I'm just saying I don't feel bad about it. So some mcmansions got burned down? Nobody lived in them? They were insured? Oh fucking well, who should i feel sorry for? The poor developers? Poor babies. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they set the damn fires themselves. Gotta pay for that new condo in Fiji, you know!

Having grown up in Woodinville and seen it been raped by developers, I'm not sorry to see this sort of thing happen. The forests, streams andd ponds I used to play in as a child are now home to huge suburban developments. I had a secret spot nobody knew about -- now there is a Jr. High there Yeah, this is a dumb way to make their point, I know that. But -- I'm not sad to see more mcmansions go away. It's too bad they didn't get the entire block.

Enough with the drama!

Thread drift. But man, are there too many people in the world, or what. Every now and then I meet American adults who have chosen to remain childless though.

drama? Shit, just talking my mind. It seems silly to me, is all. I don't remember crying about it. But whatever, everyone else seems happy so what do I know? I know it's a climbing site. Spray and climbing go hand in hand is all I'm saying.

Hey, I know! Let's tell everyone to "keep spray in spray" -- and then hide spray!

There are many reasons to go leashless. Being afraid of euros calling you "lame" is not one of them.

There are many things that make this site special. Spray is one of them. Don't hide it.

No offense, but I hate it. What's the point? Are we trying to keep people from spraying? Or are we afraid we're "scaring people away?" and want to hide spray from them? No, sir, I don't like it.

What an unfair representation of marijuana use. Smoking pot != pot-head, just as drinking beer != lush Life must be easy with such a simple world-view, though.

I'm self-righteous, but that's different, because I'm right.

Kevbone....you proud of that??? Maybe this site could sponsor a voluntary register of pot-heads so there aren't any unwanted surprises. Joint-puffers can get together and smoke-out in the Muir hut or on their favorite belay ledge and not piss anyone off, and those who want nothing to do with it can add their names to the "do not smoke around me" list. I'll be the first to add my name to the latter list: I don't want your weed in your pack in my car, in your pocket or your mouth when you're climbing with me, or lit anywhere within ten feet of me on any occasion. Or any other kind of smokable product for that matter. I recall the early days of the cc.com "pub club". Someone at the communal table would say "Safety Break" and 2/3rds of the climbers would disappear for about 15 minutes. I got curious once and saw a bunch of coughing folks coming out of the back of some guy's van, just like in a Cheech & Chong movie. Whatever. "We tried it, but we never inhaled. Belay on!" Dude, it's totally cool that you don't smoke. Right on. But what do you care if others do? Live your own life. You're not automatically right just because it's your opinion.

Thank your lucky stars. It could be far worse. He could be a sport climber. I snowboarded for 16 years before ditching the board and buying skis. So, don't give up hope!

I was a "welfare" recipient once. I was never treated poorly, and the state paid my medical bills at real hospitals with real doctors and real treatment. Just saying.

Poke your wife.

Ah, I was just kidding. I love Rod Stewart. He's my favorite.

you must really miss hearing it At least I know what it sounds like.
