No argument there. I was merely recalling on of my favorite southern rock bands. Yes, Marshall Tucker does rock.

Molly fuckin' Hatchett.

I would have paid as much to watch Gary deal with the guy at the dump as I would to watch a ttk/fw battlecage death match.

jeebus ttk, you're one sick mf'er!

Chuck Norris would just stare at the cannister until it recycled itself.

All, there was a bill introduced to the Washington Legislature last week (HB1214) that proposed adding a twenty five cent surcharge to all "Sportsman's" licenses (fishing, hunting, etc). That money would fund an account that would be used to reimburse volunteer SAR Organizations for expenses while on a SAR mission. Further, it allowed the SAR volunteer organizations a method to go after the subject for additional renumeration of up to $500.00, providing lack of reasonable care on the part of the subject led to the rescue. The bill went to committee this past Tuesday. and was basically killed, but one of the sponsoring legislators (Goodman, Woodinville) wants to continue dialogue and perhaps resurrect it later. I think it would be wise for communities such as this to be aware of these types of legislation and get involved of the process to ensure that bad legislation doesn't get through and that the proper things go into it to make it good. Here is a linky the proposed bill. Please take the time to find your state legislators and let them know how you feel about this.

Herad from a friend who heard it from a friend..... On that day I was working in Palmdale at the facility where that shuttle was built with a few of the folks that built it. Pretty devastating for a lot of those folks.

Kinda like "Well, if only Clinton hadn't gotten a blow job from an intern, we wouldn't be in this mess" mentality? Yeah, your probably right.

So, many have declared Obama's presidency a rousing success success by virtue of him getting elected. On the other end of that spectrum, others think the country is doomed. Serious question/semi-poll: How long do we give the man before we consider him a good or bad president? Personal story of how proud I am of him; Like Obama, I grew up in Hawaii, and at the same time he was there. I was with several of my cousins this past weekend and we all remembered driving past some of the run down apartments on Beretania St. wondering who would live in those places. Now we know.

George W. Bush will be seen as the great protector of American Freedom.

No its not.

Probably the best spray EVER!

So my IT Band has come along very nicely. I just did the stretching and other exercises recommended. I have been running about 4 - 5 miles per week for the past couple of weeks and the symptoms I had been experiencing have gone away......THEN I PULL A FUCKING HAMSTRING (on the same leg!) SKIING ON NEW YEARS EVE!!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!

nice work Pat.

The column by that title was written by an LA Times Columnist. Lars, were you referring to the column or the polititcally satirical song sung to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon" first aired on the Rush Limbaugh radio show?

It still is. Nice of you to resurrect it from the dead, have it perfumed o'er, and annointed... Man, where are those guys now? E-rock, Greg_W, lummox, specialed, Charlie, DFA, slothrop... whatever happened to those guys? Saw where E-rock was active a few days ago, but for some of those guys, it's been a while... Lurking I'm sure.....

jeebus, can't pope spell his name correctly?

Wow Carl, you've been missing out on something... 8D Kitten, the other white meat.

10 mile commute. 2 hours. grrrrr!

When people think of mounatineering, its usually names like Whitaker, Wickwire, Viesturs, etc. that come up. Fred has done as much for mountaineering than any of those guys, just not a publicly as them. And yes the NYT article is finally giving him the cresit he is due.

Nice article and video on Fred. The man will probably never get the credit he deserves, but I suspect most people here have the proper amount of respect for him.

WTF? Lesbian canuck teens prefer gay canuck boys?

I saw that same ticket here in Seattle! Awesome show. Oh and for another underrated band: Wishbone Ash.

Apparently the assailants arm was broken while in custody. I guess the Iraqi security folks are former NY cops.,
