Just got back from skiing 6" of pow over a nice solid crust, so there's that.

Paul's not really a republican. Everybody knows that. He's just using the party to sneak the win so he can transform the GOP into a principled, fiscally responsible, live and let live bunch with a wave of his tricorn.

No pregnancy? 1 in 8200 pregnancies are fatal (UK stats). Staying home may NOT be safer...

Knock yourself out: linky 2009: 1.14 fatalities per 100 million miles driven. If you drive the standard 15,000 mi per year throughout your adult life, that's about a million miles, so you've got a 1:100 chance of becoming road kill. You'll also have driven to the moon and back...twice.

This thread is getting dangerous. One more cliche and I'll drive a fork through my eye.

There is no should or shouldn't, there is only did or didn't. Something happens, your brain stem takes over, and several million years of evolution shotgun weds racquetball, Carlos Castaneda and the bag of caramel Bugles you had an hour ago and then you're checking yourself for injuries and scraping grit off your tongue. It's really not any more complicated than that. That should be more than enough.

In none of the close calls I've had did I ever think about God. "it's all you, babe", "randomness", and "inconvenient timing" came to mind when I had enough time to think.

I got Pink the usual bag of walnuts this year...again. MFkrz got a set a JOWLZ. If they get any wider I'm gonna have to hire an escort vehicle...

It's a simple matter of 'let's do this'. Last time I checked, voters outnumber people in the criminal justice system who support the jobs program that is prohibition (not all do, BTW). It may be popular wisdom, but there's no solid evidence that large scale domestic 'illegal' growers (they're all illegal per federal law) are against legalization. Guess they have families n stuff to worry about, too. I502 will most likely be on the '12 ballot. Talk to your peeps and persuade them to a) vote, period and b) vote to end one of the most failed policy in our history. Yes, we may have to slug it out with the feds for a while before they give up. So? Wait for the feds (President Santorum!) to do the right thing...you'll need a comfy couch.

Just when you think the GOP has hit rock bottom in the mean spirited/social totalitarianism category... ...Santorum. Love this election season! Santorum! Are you leaning towards "Sit this one out" or "Write in?" LOL

Estimated annual savings in law enforcement for WA = 20 M. Est. taxes from pot (no tie dye accessories) = 195 M. 215 M a year. That's salary+bennies for 6000 teachers.

Wow, that's lame. Wow. That's Free Market.

Stephen Hawking's got a new book out? Too long for the fridge. I'll have to hang this one in the shitter next to "you are a child of the universe..."

a.k.a Donorcycles a.k.a. Suicycles aka riding a war pony that goes from 0 to 100 in notmuchflat...with unlimited free parking.

You'll figure it after a few more repetitions...perhaps. Meanwhile, back to the actual thread... I'm not sure cutting fuel lines is really what we want to be all about. One of those naughty snowmobilers gets injured out there and...yeah. Kind of a bad karma sandwich, no?

It's a few, now.

How many reps are we up to, BTW?

Pipe/clip stick...another good idea.

and remember: sleep when horny, eat when tired, fuck when hungry

I'd have to stop jumping up and down I guess.

I'ts kind of like celebrating when AM/PM goes back to their old Jo Jo recipe. Shit is shit.

It was moronic, but consider the source. Stating as much is a bit redundant. The few unscientific polls on the subject indicate that slightly more self-identified conservatives (than liberals) go for Jenny McCarthy's schtick, but it's pretty evenly split across political lines. Idiots are idiots. Be nice, ebbybody!

Snowmobiling in wilderness areas IS a big deal...it's kind of like shooting a baby in the face. I wasn't sure which 'access' was going to be denied as a result, however... That said, this was a clear case of Burglarizing the Chunder Palace.

More than two miles in from the boundary line (and I am being generous) Yes, I am sure and I have verified my gut feeling by referencing current maps. That sucks. Might've been worth it to stop the guys and make sure they knew they were in violation. Remind them that actions like their's could jeporadize access for everyone. Um...how would a few dirtbag snowmobilers ruin everyones access? It's the rider's responsibility to know where wilderness area boundaries are. Our wilderness area boundaries are clearly signed. Whether or not the riders 'knew' they were trashing a wilderness is pretty much irrelevant. They didn't bother to check...and that's enough to deserve the fine, which tops out at $5000 and 6 months in the slammer, BTW.

I checked 'em. The forest 'snow' you were crunching through looks familiar. I lost my headlamp in the lookout. How does one do that? If only I knew... No big, but we spent the day yo yoing the N side and got a late start down. That resulted in me chasing Josh's tiny cone of light through Kaptain Krunch in the dark forest (AT short course), which made for some spectacular air time. Josh and I clipped the same root and both lost a ski. Had we not recovered them, that would have been Josh's entire ski quiver, gone in a few seconds. Try stretching a bungee jumping line across the snowmobiler path next time. I'd pack in a tripod for that YouTube offering.
