HOLY FUCK!

DRUL WILL BE EQUALLY CRUSHED WHEN HE FINDS OUT HE CAN'T POST IN THE NEW SIT START FORUM

The job of the moderator is to talk behind people back and roll around in the cc.com Humvee drinking 40s and smokin blunts. Not really glamorous really.

Any more thoughts about new forums?

LOLOLOL. DRU YOUR RIGHT I'M AN ASS. I GUESS THATS WHAT A LIQUID LUNCH AND THREE HOURS OF WAKEBOARDING DOES TO A PERSON. THAT AN KNOW I TYPE LIKE ERIK.

I think the DMMs are one digit higher, so a 3 DMM is the same as a 2 Camalot. Could be wrong though.

I don't know about the Clog's, but although Friends and DMM have the same sizing they use a different numbering system, so if you do go this route make sure you look at actual size and not the number.

A couple years ago I bought some of the Kong ultratop/wiregate draws with the wire gate and keylock gate. I was so happy with them that I have 12 now, and have bought a bunch of the same keylock biners. They are light as hell and the action on them is great, they don't get hung up on anything and it's like the rope just finds it's way into the biner. My friends have used them and think they are always blown away how nice they are to climb with. PMS sells them for $14 each I think.

Just so you know HC is $1.75 at Trader Joes versus $5 at Safeway. Also saw yesterday that Clif Bars were like $.79 at the grocery store in Ellensberg if you are passing through there.

I saw something very disturbing while in the Enchantments last week. Unfortunately I pulled a and didn't have my camera, but here are some artistic renditions of what I saw. There were these goat/whitetrash hybrid animals up there. The young ones kept coming up to me and saying "Have you seen my father, his name is Traahahhahhahahahhahahaahhask?" Then I gave them a golden show. Go figure.

I just talked to a Redmond Police Officer and explained to him what was going on. He said if I have emails showing that someone is threatening my life and I feel threatened by it, this person can be charged with a felony, and the penalty gets more severe by the number of people threatened.

This weekend I ran into three people from the site that I would have never met if it weren't for this place. Out if it came some fun climbing, getting really wasted, and bailing out someone who forgot a pretty crucial piece of gear. Don't worry this place ain't going anywhere. If you have been surfing this site long enough you know who they are from, he has threated more people than I can count with both hands. The emails are directed at me not Tim. I honestly have done absolutely nothing do deserve this from this person, and he is now threatening to kick my ass or kill me. He claims I am some poster I am not. I post as jon, and sometimes Fido . Pretty fucking cool I tell you. But I tell you what, this shit has been going on for three years and I'm fucking tired of it. This is probably the fifth incident now for myself, all of it without instigation. Come to Pub Club and kick my ass. Make yourself feel better and beat my face in. Kill me over an internet message board. I'll even cough up some blood for you. You blabber all this military shit like how I am so ungrateful because I haven't served. Not everyone in the US can serve in the military. I'm the first male in my family not to go in the military motherfucker, but I know exactly what sacrifices have been made. Burying my grandfather in Arlington was the absolutely the saddest day of my life. My uncle was a Raven in Laos and lost half his friends from his unit and the Academy, he couldn't even look at the Wall when we visited it. One of my best friends is Iraq right now, I think about him and his wife every day. Fuck you don't tell me about being ungrateful. I've met a lot of military people but I've never met anyone who acts like you, so stop using it as an excuse. I called my friend who is a police officer in the city I live in. I'm taking you to court. You stepped over the line and now you are going to pay!

Werd dude I was just talkin some smack.

Well both mine and Tim's car were broken into. We put all of our other stuff in the back of the truck hoping that it would be ok. In hindsight it was stupid because there were like four packs, three ropes, two pairs of expensive boots, a full rack and then some, tent, etc. etc. We considered leaving his car in town but decided that the risk might just be as great. Anyways we kept running into people after the wall trail saying that all the cars were broken into, and we were shitting our pants. I had nothing in my car, no gear not even a CD player, except a cell phone but they broke in anyways and took it, more on this. Tim's car was hit too but amazingly they took nothing, not even the CDs in the passanger area. It's obvious they were looking for wallets and that's about it. What good is a cell phone because you can trace the numbers they call. I called my carrier last night when we got into Bend and they had used the phone and I passed the number off to the Sheriff, so these guys may have fucked themselves. Talking to my car insurace company today, and they are a national company (USAA), the woman said for the last two months they have been receiving nonestop calls regarding trailhead breakins. Anyways it kinda sucked to end a great 5 days in the Icicle on a shitty note but none of our gear was stolen and more importantly we walked in the door in one piece.

Ashcroft doesn't loan ropes dick.

Trask I'm going to knock your ass out, shave your legs and your head, dress you up like Marco Pantani, and drop you off in front of Ken Schrams house with a bag of flaming poop.

Sphinx the problem is that drivers don't differentiate between the two. I ride safely, and while I occassionally break a rule, I usually am looking out for myself and take into consideration when I'm holding up traffic or whatever. I still have people drive to close, honk and swear, try to drive me off the road. When Ken typically rants it has little effect on people, it may inform them of certain issues or change their stance about an elected official or an initiative. He gives Tim Eyman a lit of shit but he really isn't threatening Tim's well being. So regardless of the impact of his statements nobody is really terribly effected. His rants about cyclist, and while I consider it pretty unlikely, has the potential for getting some drivers really fired up about this issue and taking matter in their own hands and/or showing more disregard. In this instance you aren't threatening someone's chance of being re-elected or whatever, you putting someone's life at more risk then it already is.

The problem is this. Ken is making angry drivers angrier about cyclists. He is just making the situation worse. A mistake by a car results in a fender bender, you call your insurance and it's all good. If you are riding a bike and you are in an accident with a car, you can fucking die. There are a lot of people who see cyclists as obsicles and treat them like that, driving as close as they can at 45 mph. I'll be doing 30 in 25 and people will still try to pass me. The thing is that the majority of people who break the rules are not cyclists, they're just riding a bike. While I've seen my fair share of "jersey boys" breaking the "rules", most of the offenders are people with not riding with a helmet let alone a brain. They don't ride everyday let alone really care about riding, it's just a way of getting around, like my friend from the Ave who almost ran me over Fact is proportionally speaking there are way more bad drivers then cyclists and here is why. You can be a stupid driver, get drunk, crash into shit, and still be fine, in fact you can make a lot of money this way like one of my jackass friends is right now. When you are riding a bike on city streets you are about as vulnerable as you can get, so it make sense for you to ride as safely as you can. Some people still don't but most do. And as some people in Portland found out sometimes it doesn't matter, you could be doing everything right and still have some drunk run you and your friends over, end of story, end of life. Oh yeah fuck you Trask.

Here is his yearly rant about cyclists. http://www.komotv.com/kenschram/story.asp?id=26456

I was just took a two hour lunchbreak to go wakeboarding, landed my first 180. Thanks taxpayers!!!

I was going through my Vegas pictures from my trip a month ago and couldn't help to notice how severly stained my tough was from the 10 Redbull and Vodkas I had that night. God I was blitzed.
