Lucky Larry

Sadly, big tear, started life with childhood family members alcohol/mental/religion dysfunction. Believed escaping would make my life better. Vicarious escapism through climbing catalogues and material acquirement. Physical abilities/talent below equipment potential yet there was an empty security in ownership--if only I have the 'right' gear I am somebody. Planetary Resource Bubble limited. Imagine all climbers having all the gear, vehicles, international travel and guided climbing they wanted. Now imagine their ecoprint. As the rhetoric builds against the 1% many of the 99% (30%?) still want what the 1% have. Even if they really don't have the talent, cruelty, ambition, inheritance, stupidity or DNA to get it. Sun, rock, shoes and chalk bag. Less is more?

Your dis-quantified.

President Obama on Friday signed the National Defense Authorization Act, or NDAA, providing nearly $619 billion for war and military spending. Can't say I see any real difference between Bummer and Old Yeller. They both smell of Fascism.

First clue: wall of txt? Bill, anything with wall in it will be built by the Trumpit. How dare you try to usurp Old Yeller!

It's been a few years since I, formerly no'win as Old Larry, has been to the Boulder at the east(?) end of Colchuck lake. At that time I verily bagged 20lbs 'o shat from underneath said boulder. My question is, has it magically returded itself? Beast answer whines holy day for twos in new Is-Real Pal-Stein. Beast Insult wins Troll for Trump pin. Ivan is pre-disquilifried, as always. Taste full ansturds will be flushed.

Trip: tumble creek oregon - u do it u name it Date: 12/17/2013 Trip Report: Tumble Creek Ice approx. 200ft or more(?) This creek valley is in shade all day-it is a freezer box. I no longer climb so this one is for you guys in Salem. I do not know if there is more stuff farther up the road. sorry for the shitty photo-it's all I have. I do not know if it was fatter during the cold snap. Looks like potentially other stuff in area if someone is willing to look for it. there is ice hidden behind the base of tree. These pics were taken on the opposite side of the creek from the ice, so the ice is bigger then it looks. FA goes to you. Approach Notes: Tumble crk trail head #3380 at Detroit Lake. walk up road past locked gate at parking area for 8 min or less ( I'm 58 ).

nice work Joe

Thanks Joe; I actually agree with you. It's funny because I started to think you were a "just say no" kind'a person.

WAIT! We got us hope and change don't we? Do we need anything else? NO! Of course, who saw that the "change" of Bush leaving was that our country would actually become even more militaristic and start even MORE shit. Who the hell saw that coming? Not me. We've got military stationed in 130 countries they report. Holy shite!!!!! Who amongst us even knew there were that many in the world to go stick our often unwanted nose into? Actually, I generally agree with ya Larry. I don't think full withdraw and isolationism is the answer. We need to pick and chose our battles and get the very rare important one(s) nailed and fully committed too. The other down side of becoming more militaristic is that we have to pay a lot more to suppress the people we piss off by acting like asswipes. The very worst thing about the whole disaster is that since we CANNOT AFFORD IT now when things are still generally good, WE ARE BORROWING TO DO IT!!! The borrowing is not only unsustainable, pointless, senseless and counterproductive, but our children will be stuck with the bill at a time where thy will have declining resources to pay for it. Such stupidity. Big goverment. Good story/Op Ed in Al's Jizzum this very day on how much MORE militaristic the US has become with our Nobel peace prize winning dude steering the force projection ship (which probably needs to be renamed the USS Neocon). When I was catching shit from this board by saying years earlier that I didn't see any significant difference between Republican and democrat, this is the poster for that thought. Here's the link and the entire story. If you like it send the Emir a personal thank yew: http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/06/2012625125236369213.html thank you Bill and all my troll friends,it's good to know some one is out there in cyber space. @ Bill, the link to al Jeeza was informative and scary too! The face of of Death has been removed; it no longer looks like the deformed person or mentally challenged person; in fact, it has no face at all. And therefore; is easily, disposable. Geer's to all. Hail O'bummer. Bill, check out Give them Hell Harry (aka Harry Truman), Opdyke showed it to me, it will blow your mind.

It isn't the the criminals, mentally ill, the ex-vets, pregnant mothers, gutter punks, unemployed and homeless people that are the problem friends; they are all just symptoms of a much bigger problem. It is a system that is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results: insanity. Can you imagine a society that would put it's money into it's people instead of death machines and war? Many scoff at such a crazy idea; they say, "why, you can't just give it away; people would waste it." Down with the war/killing department; up with the peace/people department. A call to Peace is a call to compassion. I believe some famous guy said love your enemies, forgive those who do you wrong.

your darn right it isn't about us ; in fact, it's just all about me..He Haw

I'm really sorry for the senseless loss of another very good soul. Please, really watch out for each other you guys. I almost lost a friend the same way because I took it for granted that he knew he was at the end of his rope (I knew he had done the rap before) when he pooped off right in front of me--he walked out with a broken wrist and bruises instead of in a coffin or worse.

just think of all the great bureaucrats and minions your tax dollars, I mean pass fees, keeps employed and fed--signed, should have been a slippery tongued bureaucrat egg layer with lazer beam eyes--Dr. Evil

you got me The dihydrogen monoxide hoax is a deception that involves the use of an unfamiliar name for water ("dihydrogen monoxide")

Hugh, you gotta love how the stuff we throw away is made useful most everywhere else. I saw a funnel made from a plastic bottle in Nicaragua; brilliant, for a dull bulb like me-- never buy a funnel again. It truly is amazing what gets thrown out because contractors can't afford to pick it back up, truck it, store it, then move it again--just cheaper to throw it out. wah wah

You bet; Is-not-real certainly sucks up it's share to keep freedom alive--Keep the Fed gusher flow'in, wahoo, it's not texas tea Jed, it's wasp-green-backs. I predict Obama will be assassinated if elected a second term..sorry. :: Bill C, your beginning to sound like me, always with the money talk, why people still refuse to take wall street to jail is a crime in its' self.

supposedly, 'love without passion is like no love at all'--Eagles :[]

Not that I drink it anymore but heres something about equality, sort of; Andy Warhol: What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest..... All the cokes are the same and all the cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it. Not that I have ever been there but I guess you can even by it on the Everest Trek.Hee Haw

Thanks Bill, I forgot my pacifism roots, wAr what is it good for--absolutely nothing. baa This sounds a lot like most government/private contract jobs. Hee Haw underestimate cost/overestimate profit sickie Bill: Invariably we underestimate both the time and the costs that we will experience there. Both sides of the US civil war, for instance, thought they were looking at a week or two to get up there into enemy territory, kick some ass and get back home for dinner. Both sides!

I don't want another war; just thought it might be nice to take out some of his jets--why does it have to be so complicated--hee haw

I don't know but whats so bad about taking some of his shit out of the air?

Yep, lets talk about a no fly zone while Gaddafreak sends his jets out to keep the nasty lairs where they belong, face down dead. :: Sure is great how fast the US/UN takes action against a known thug. By the time the UN makes up it's mind Gaddafreak will have already declared, "mission accomplished." Beware dear reader of what I ask for. This despot may be replaced by someone worse than Gaddafreak. Like someone not aligned with the USA. US ambassador Susan Rice said a no-fly zone would only bring limited help. Holy shit, must already be too late, why bother?

Bill, no electrocution has ever been stolen; everything is fair and square...right? BTW Bill, that Michael dude is just a liar, people who have nothing to gain or lose always lie..geeze.

the eyes look photo shopped or meth or something in the woo woo ; anyway, at this time in my life I would happily do her

The shit spillover from wall street still hasn't ended--it's still going to hit the public PERS because they invested in the same shit bags as everyone else--only we are going to hear the crying about it a little longer because they are organized--probably nothing will become of it because that would mean somebodies got to pay for it; and we no it's not going to be the robber barons. Wall street is just fantasy land economics--people still believe in it though--even though they just kicked the global crap out of everyone. sickie I haven't even been able to follow world news much for the Great Depression II and WW III has me depressed enough. Thank goodness for a blow hole like spray to release some pressure. Best wishes friends.
