  1. In the end, my will is always done, my little hamsters.
  2. I was searching for a camera on Craigslist and came up with this little gem: "Canon PowerShot S230 Digital Elph - GENITALLY USED. NO SCRATCHES ON SCREEN, LENS, OR FLASH. WORKS PERFECTLY. CHARGES PERFECTLY. EVERYTHING IS IN EXCELLENT, PRACTIALLY NEW CONDITION."
  3. Why would anyone ever call for locking a thread in Spray? It's not like Satan's minions are forcing anyone at pitchfork point to read this shite.

    Big Mon, don't even think about it with our avi danger right now. Your singing is annoying, but not that annoying. Let's go into the Pasayten, beyotch. Gotta go East of the Crest to more mellow terrain if you don't want to make King 5 News.
  5. Problem solved. Spray on, bitches.
  6. Back from ice climbing. I see I didn't miss much. This thread is amazingly brief when you've got Seahawks on Ignore.
  7. In a resort, I hope. Avalanche advisory, Sense. BYAKTT.
  8. Oh, and BTW: "Mount McKinley is also commonly known as Denali, which means "the high one" in the Athabaskan language, and which is also the name currently recognized by the State of Alaska. In 1896 the mountain was officially named Mount McKinley, after the former Governor of Ohio and future U.S. President William McKinley. When Denali National Park and Preserve was established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, December 2, 1980, the Alaska Board of Geographic Names changed the name of the mountain back to Denali. However, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names maintains McKinley, which helps visitors differentiate between the mountain and Denali National Park, where the mountain is located. Alaskans tend to use "Denali" and rely on context to distinguish between the park and the mountain." Out of respect for local preference, convention, and the mountains original Athabaskan name, most climbers choose to use "Denali".
  9. God helps those who help themselves...to good, cheap gear. IceClimbingTomorrowThxBi. Pray for cold, cuz, you know, I can't.
  10. After all this God bashing I've been doing, I logged onto Craig's list and scored the Filson Outfitter jacket I've been waiting for about 20 years for 60% off, then I cruised by the REI basement on my way home from picking up the jacket and scored the exact pair of $180 boots I've been wanting for $30, 'used' but apparently never left the living room, the exact pair of gaitors I wanted for $5, and a cheap pair of Schoeller pants for my buddy. Good karma or broken karma? You decide. In any case, the Good Lord provided tonight.
  11. That actually happened to me at a party once.
  12. Rent "Evolution on Trial". It's all there.
  13. It not you guys. Its them. Get real. We are the have not and the are the haves. In an educational sense, this couldn't be more true. The judge who ruled against ID was a conservative republican Bush appointee, BTW.
  14. The nearest black hole is tens of thousands of light years away. You can hold a fossil, anolis lizard, or sample of mitochondrial DNA which contains haplotype genetic markers in your hand. "Observe"? No irony here.
  15. You can stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself whatever you want of it'll make yourself feel better, bud. After all, that's what you folks are trained to do. The U.S. Courts and public opinion don't quite gibe with your assessment, but then again, interpreting evidence (or presenting it) was never your strong suit. and still no answer look it up, ya lazy prick. Your ignorance is not my problem.

  17. I'd say the tough shit is on your end, padre. The dumbshits you allow to represent you have been losing court cases by the bushel lately. Separation of church and state. Love it or leave it. If you don't like that in public schools, pony up the cash for private and STFU. let's make a deal...when you folks can spontaneously create life with a chemical reaction, you can teach evolution Nah. You come up with a non-religious competing scientific theory for evolution an we'll teach both. Oh, wait...you just tried that and lost. Deals? Why? Hey bud, we're already on top. 170 years of successfully tested theory and still going strong. You've shot 30 years of wad in two recent court cases and were destroyed in both. What is it about the Establish Clause that you guys just don't get? In any case, every day you delay coming up with another kooky alternative to evolution just means more evidential proof for evolution. If you understood survival of the fittest, you might realize just how poor your bargaining position is at this point.
  18. I'd say the 'touch shit' is on your end, padre. The dumbshits you've allowed to represent your pro-ignorance agenda have been losing court cases by the bushel lately. Two thirds of your expert witnesses didn't even bother to show up for the Pennsylvania ID trial. Those who did got their asses handed to them by other scientists. Separation of church and state. Love it or leave it. If you don't like that in public schools, pony up the cash for private or homeschool and STFU.
  19. Oh Lord, thank you for blessing me with parents that believed in the power of education.
  20. Last time I checked, highschool was supposed to be preparation for college. I don't remember using a computer in highschool, either, but times change, eh? Look, you're starting the family, not me. If you want ignorant kids, by all means, find the right private school. I'm sure there's one out there for you and yours. After all, McDonalds is always hiring.
  21. how would a person be an ignoramus if they didn't learn evolution. Let's talk about career fields for which the understanding of macroevolution is critical. Well, lets see. Not much really. Understanding natural selection/evolution is only central to a few sideshow disciplines, like... ....agriculture, all the biological sciences, pharmacology, pathology, anthropology, paleantology, ecology, genetic engineering.... ...other than that, not much would suffer.
  22. I'm not a atheisist/agnostic so I can only guess. My quess is that they truely beleive what they beleive like us all. Being like any other human they are dogmatic and want what they beleive taught. I'm fine with evolution being taught but some time should be spent also on other thoughts. Since there is no scientific theory that competes with evolution, that might be difficult. If parents and children want religious education, however, they can get all they want; just not from schools that my tax dollars pay for. Sorry. BLame the U.S. Constitution.
  23. ID is not only not science, but the Pennsylania case proved that ID is creationism, and therefore religion, under a different name. Hard evidence for this (as in damning documents) came out in the trial (rent the flick, it's all there). A previous Kansas case had already ruled that a) Creationism was religion (duh), and that b) teaching it in a public school violated the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution (duh). Evolution, on the other hand, is a highly successful (in that it makes testable, verifiable, repeatable predictions) scientific theory that is central to understanding the living world. Why teach that in a science class? Gee, I couldn't hazard a guess. Because we don't want to raise an entire generation of ignoramuses, perhaps?
  24. I would. Come on down to Ptown bro! Dude, i'd even screw his titties. Do so at your own risk. With all my recent weight training, I just might pinch your dick off.
