This brings to mind that South Park episode where the Bush administration was trying to convince people that 911 was a conspiracy so people would think they were competent enough to pull it off.

And a good route too.

I don't always drink beer, but when I do ... I'll second the Paulaner.

70% chance of rain with gusts as high as 30 mph. Have fun. Where the fuck is Forth Creek trail, by the way?

He's not even a candidate anymore you retarded little git.

Wetslide, you fool. That's actually a good question and I had to look it up. George Romney was a "Natural Born Citizen," born outside the U.S., but a child of citizens. Apparently that counts.

They also did it in November so not really a winter ascent.

Pretty sure he and Dan used a heli drop off for the approach though.

There's too many types of snow conditions to make an experiment like that work. In my experience, pickets only work in certain conditions. Seems like, for the most part, pickets and ropes on steep snow are only good for protecting from crevasses and schrunds, because the climbing difficulty isn't very hard.

Just in jest I will remind you that alumni is plural while alumnus is singular. I learned that at MSU. But better than being a 10th generation sheep fucker like most of you MSU alumni.

Burly routes, burly climbers! Nice work Ross and Trish!

That is funny though.

As a 2nd generation UM alumni, I do vaguely remember the pumpkin thing from my time there in the 90's. More importantly, though, Montana is a cool fucking place and I miss it. Missoula and Bozeman both have a lot to offer (never figured out the point of that college rivalry bullshit), but one of my favorite Norman McClean lines comes to mind: ... God Is Love. We always assumed that these three words were spoken directly to the four of us in our family and had no reference to the world outside, which my brother and I soon discovered was full of bastards, the number increasing rapidly the farther one gets from Missoula, Montana.

Where you live I'd think they'd have a magnet school focused around cooking meth.

Speaking of NWHikers, do the shorts-over-polypro crowd tend to vote Dem or Republican? Or as the outfit would suggest, are they undecided?

Pretty sure no one's going to read all of that.

Hopefully the number 300 didn't refer to her weight.

When my cheap Chinese-made Wal Mart TV dies I'm just going to throw it off the top of one of Kevbone's beloved shit hole Portland-area sport crags.

Way hotter right now to rubberneck the rubberneckers!

Shanniqua. He was able to entice her into his Hyundai with the promise of a meal at Wendy's and a shopping trip to TJ Maxx.

Curious about his use of runners on his top two pieces.

Like hospitals - the more you build them, the more they fill up.

Hey, I enjoy your posts and analysis, etc. I just think you tend to be a bit ideological. Anyway, I would think there'd be an easier way for an organization solely interested in profit to make a buck than from secondary education. What is your source for finding out an initiative's sponsors? Not trying to rebut your conjecture, but after a cursory search such information apparently isn't easy to find. Interestingly enough, Democrats for Education Reform support it. My union, in solidarity I suppose, is against it. I think I'm against it too, primarily because it would cost the state lots of $ in administering and regulating the thing.

Why do you think that everything involving private business is inherently bad? You come across as being the exact mirror image of Fox News conservatives that think anything involving the public sector is anathema.

Like why do fat chicks wear lycra?
