Spit on it and stick it in.

Did you blow a seal? Or is that mayonaisse from the sandwich?

Think Joe Simpson may be involved?

Have you seen the re-buttal? I'm fucking retarded. Can't get the youtube thing to embed. Go to you tube and look up "I'm fu#%king Ben Afflek". Even funnier

This whole mid-week TR thing, summit objective achieved or not makes me green with envy. The hating won't last forever, but for now it is all I have.

Hope he's gonna be o.k. Porter!

some people just have a "different" way of "doing it".

Hmmm....Just out of curiosity, was there a Becky first ascent anywhere near the vicinity of where this turd was found?

Porter, you have way too much sway around here!!

Its just that we wanted to try the new method on Canadians before using it here. I guess it must be news to you that you are our lab rats!!! My refresher comes up this year. OW, I commend the guy and find no fault in it. I would have done the same.

You'll be smokin' a turd in purgatory for that one sonny!

It is fascinating to know that I can probably remove that extra couple of ounces of mouthshield out of my first aid kit now. It has long been my understanding that in the backcountry its a let your conscience be your guide regarding CPR. Fact is if the PT doesn't revive within 15 - 20 minutes the prognosis is grim even if ALS shows up. In the backcountry that usually means a helo. We had a situation on Mailbox (hardly "backcountry") about 5 years ago where a guy went into cardiac arrest and his hiking partner gave him CPR for something along the line of 90 minutes. A helo from NAS Whidbey was able to get there by then but taht was only to assist in the recovery of the subject's body. I really felt for the guy who gave it his all for 90 minutes against all hope.

I was thinking of pointing that out to you Gary. I told you there is a certain sexy factor to the Mac Books.

Two words: Fawkin Hawt!

I'll be there. I have to bail by 5 so if you and the youngn want to take my seats, you can have em!

I'll ask the question first: Anyone have any reviews on Scarpa Summit mountaineering boots? I'm thinking pretty hard about a new pair of boots. I'm a little torn at what to get, though I'm narrowing it down. Today I tried on a pair of Scarpas that were a light weight boot on the low end of the range for a technical boot (I can't recall the model). They will accept crampons. The fit really well. In looking through their literature they also make a more burly boot (the Summit) from the same last. I'm told that If they are built on the same last, the fit will be the same. I figure if I need something really burly I'll wear my plastics, so these would be for more general cascade mountaineering. Any thoughts?

No, it would be Hallify

I'm going to take a bath in crude tonight baby!

Isn't that called fishing off of the company pier? As opposed to screwing your co-workers which is called dipping your pen in the company ink?

Marmot also has a pretty good sale rack, same as the basement at the old Capitol Hill REI. I like FF as well. It's just that it's difficult to comprehend any REI not carrying mountaioneering boots!

It's snowing pretty good in Kent right now.

My bitch with REI lately (last 10 years or so) is that their stock is usually very limited. This was proven to an even greater extent last Saturday. I found out that the birthday party I took my daughter to was ok with dropping her off and coming back later. So I decided to head to the Southcenter REI to look at some new boots. They don't carry Mountaineering boots at that REI!!! Why not just put them in the freakin' mall and call it the Life is Good Store???

O.k., so Bobby Kennedy may not have been killed by Sirhan Sirhan. I hear that David Kennedy was killed by Syringe Syringe

Mixed snow and rain in Kent right now. Just look at it this way Minx, If you go out this weekend and buy a few end of winter specials, you can really relax in 250 or so days when everyone else is stressing out!

Why? Was Obamba's father a lying, murdering, backstabbing thief like the Kennedy dad apparently was? C'mon Bill. Old man Kennedy was a Nazi Sympathizing Bootlegger.
