You say thos things like they're bad or something.

This test is even more indicitive of the typical cc.com'er: http://www.sailinganarchy.com/general/2002/cool_test.htm

Isn't there a law in Oregon that basically says if a law is broken, and there is a search & rescue effected, the subject can be held liable for costs? Seems to me it came into being 4 or 5 years ago.

True. However, if a volunteer FD, such as Snoqualmie Pass FD, goes out of their jurisdiction (off highway), they can and in some cases will charge you for their services. I've seen a bill sent to someone from SPFD for $1,200.00 for hauling their butt off of the Iron Horse trail.

I hope Brett Favre has the game of his life tonight. I'd love to see the Seahawks make the playoffs (why, I'm not sure), but if Favre does play tonight he will be one inspired sumbitch. Beside that, I can not cheer for the Raiders. Al Davis is as big a slimeball as there ever was and/or will be!

Shit, Charlie isn't any where near the asshole of somne of the folks that are tolerated on a regular basis on this board. Was he "warned" about porn prior to the ban? Shit, he's a sleazball pornographer. What the hell do you expect from him?

The hair is all wrong.

And the debate rages on..... http://www.nwcn.com/statenews/oregon/stories/NW_121903ORNskierrescueLJ.b984e6ae.html BEND, Ore. - Mount Bachelor resort officials have fined a 23-year-old skier who skied out of bounds at the resort and had to be rescued by ski patrol more than $4,000 to cover costs. Twenty minutes before the mountain closed shop on Saturday, a ski patroller noticed a fresh pair of tracks that crossed the boundary, but could not see any coming back, said Chris Johnston, the resort's communications manager. The area is clearly signed with warnings that skiers and boarders might be charged for any search and rescue efforts, Johnston said. Less than hour later 13 ski patrollers began a search and Deschutes County Search and Rescue was placed on standby. By 7:50 p.m., the skier - whose name Mount Bachelor declined to release - was found near Hosmer Lake, Johnston said. Apparently he had crossed the boundary three times that day. On the third time out, he got lost and was in deep snow, Johnston said. While the stray skier was cold, he was uninjured. Now the skier has to pick up the tab for the search and rescue effort - more than $4,000. That amount, Johnston said, covers the cost of labor for the ski patrol men and women who worked overtime hours trying to locate the lost man; for the use of equipment, including snowmobiles and snow cats; and to pay for damage to a snow cat that occurred during the search. The man was also cited for theft of services for using someone else's season pass, Johnston said. Johnston said charging for search and rescue efforts, which is not a new policy for the mountain, isn't so much of a punitive action as it is a way to recover the costs of a search operation. According to Johnston, the Saturday incident was the first of two so far this month. On Wednesday, a 17-year-old also crossed the boundary. The teen's parents will likely foot the bill for that search and rescue effort, about which Johnston had few details. While the mountain charges for search and rescue, the county usually does not, said Deschutes County Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Swearingen. "I think...that we could, but it's not one of those deals that we do," he said. "...We don't want people to be discouraged from calling if there is a problem."

I heard Slade interviewed on the radio yesterday. He seemed to back track from any comments made by him alluding to this beig preventable. It was actually the 1st time I heard him say something I agree with him on.

Jewel. I'd drag my balls through a mile of broken glass just to lick the hubcaps on the truck that takes her dirty underwear to the cleaners.

Skagit Mt. Rescue, like most Mt. Rescue units are funded via donations. Sometimes there is an allocation of funds that come from the county(s) that they support, but more often than not, they are funded by good folks like us who may have some spare change to donate. That being said, I would urge any that could afford to send them some $$ for equipment replacement to: Skagit Mountain Rescue P.O. Box 2 Mt. Vernon, WA 98273 Any and all donations would help! You guys

I detected a smirk on his face. Probably minute to the smile his daddy's wearin'

A date in Fairbanks? I've heard that the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

I really wonder if that guy is still around.

I for one am damned glad that he is in custody. I did not and for the most part do support the war and occupation. I do however believe this guy needed to be removed from power. Is there a shadow of doubt that it really is Sadaam? I'll choose to believe it's him until proven otherwise. I second Will's comments about historically guys like this when captured do tend to go quietly. Kinda like they are big chicken shits one on one with no one backing them up. I hope that this brings and end or at least a huge slow down on the attacks on American troops in Iraq. Now let's get this thing over with, get our troops home and prosecute Halliburton, get Bush out of office and be done with it!

My experience is that several members of this board have opinions. Anyone got one (opinion) on BD Shrike Ice Tools? Thinking of buying a pair for general mountaineering and the occasional Water Ice route. They look like they'd bounce off of anything too hard, like Alaska Ice, but that isn't in my immediate future. Spray away.....

Exactly! You just never see a pee thread! Fecophiliacs? Better that than coprophiliacs. Overheard on a glacier after someone with diarrhea let loose on the snow: "wow, looks like a roarsach test!"
