Nice futile philosophy. Enjoy your passive, all-accepting life and let others make your choices. Meanwhile, I'll attempt to shape the world in ways I think will be better. You didn't get the point, but then, I didn't think you would. You're 'attempts to shape the world' are really just making an ass out of yourself trying to shape something you have absolutely no influence over. The world will march on it it's own direction, leaving you alone, railing from your soapbox. Your turning yourself into a running online joke has had, and will have, no effect whatsoever on any aspect of the bolting debate, as trivial as that debate may be in the broader scheme of things. The key is being able to discern what you can actually change and focusing your energies in that direction versus what you can't. There's nothing futile about working for change in ways where you can actually be effective, rather than wasting your energies in areas where you cannot. This is apparently not your strong suite.

You might look at a Montbell U.L. Alpine Down Hugger #5 (40 degree). Much cheaper than WM in that 1 lb category. Sounds like you've already got a warmer bag. Can't beat FF bags for cooler conditions.

It seems pointless to me not to accept the world the way it is in an area you cannot change. It smacks of a person who is needlessly frustrated because they're trying to control things they can't, or a person who avoids scrutinizing their own life by focusing their attention on the lives of others. Namaste.

I got a free pass to Vertical World tonight, Rudy. I see pullups and a weight belt in your future, hopefully before you contract a fatal chronic condition and have to go on life support.

Who said it was 6k old? You bet your horse I'll bet mine. In the end I don't loose a thing if I'm wrong. You loose big time if your wrong. Your faith is so profound, I've just taken Jebus into my heart as my personal bookie.

as are you Wait a minute, KKK. Didn't you just post this exact same sentiment about the Democrats just yesterday? Must've been a recent Rush or O'Reilly quote that all the Righty Tighties are parroting.

on post, but why post in spray? you must have known that the usual idiots would jump in with their typical projections and vomit? i would like to think that if you posted something like this on the climber's board, the fat angry bastards would either stay away, or be subjected to the influences of the capricious warlord. cool post though, but are the limitations on time ones that keep you from previous world-travels, or ones that keep you from even engaging in a few hours a few times a week? i guess i'm lucky cuz i get psyched about things like one arms offa door jambs and shit like that, and i can always do that in the midst of the maddest shit i got going on.... ahhh...its job "time"...it has a weird way of infiltrating most of my waking hours, even when i'm not "working"...coupled with family time commitments, and well, your's truly gets put on the back burner...i don't resent it, but i sure do appreciate the few chances that i do get to get outside unencumbered. Does that make any sense? Plus, lately, i've got this really weird sense of mortality/clock ticking bullshit...honestly, its fucking with me hard... SOunds like a perfect time for that pullup contest. it would only depress me more...plus, what good would come from crushing you? If you can crush me with the agreed upon 45 lbs strapped to your waste, I'll give YOU the blowjob.

you were a cute kid tvash What's with the plastic feet? He looks like he could climb R and X routes where falls would not be UGLY, but a eurosportfag he's not.

Oh, wait. Those aren't arms, their two stacks of hum bow.

Don't try to worm your way into this conversation.

Kids got a bad case of earthworm-arm.

What's really funny is that all three are woefully out of touch with the direction their party is moving; towards 'effective' government and 'efficient' taxation, not less government and lower taxes. The GOP is having to do this because, as Sexy already stated quite accurately, the public demands it. It's like three guys still padding around in Earthshoes as the rest of the world politely turns away and moves on.

Reallocate military spending. Then try to figure out what your going to do with the rest of the money. Next question.

Too late. This thread's all love and hugs now.

What, like, you've got a better self deprecating sense of humor than the rest of us?

Being angry at the world for what it is must be hard on a guy.

I know that. Otherwise I wouldn't go there. Would it help things if I offered up a really cool climbing photo?

I take a rest on most threads, Chuckie. But this one was dropped into Spray for a reason; it was just too big a target. Don't take Spray so seriously, otherwise you'll wind up like FW.

Dood, what's wrong with the titanium Sceptre of Power. Ever notice that the next time you go climbing with a partner who saw your ti spork on the last trip, that partner's suddenly has one too? You can't not buy one of these things once you've seen one.

What, you got something against blowjobs?

Unless it's a really, really good one.

Which I may or may not accept.
