    He was? Why was the Supreme Court involved then?

    stupid topic

    It sorta happened like that. What happened is the guy was 'teaching' his wife how to rappell somewhere in the BC by the Sisters. He had the kids wait somewhere far down the trail and then purposely rigged the rappell to fail when she loaded it. After she decked he scurried off to get the kids, who noted that mom was screaming in agony. Pops ignored the pleas of his children, drove them back to the hotel then went to the front desk to call 911. He was in no hurry. She was dead by the time SAR arrived. He was convicted of murder. Oh--and he was a cop from Tacoma. I watched the re-enactment on the Discovery Channel. Forensic Scientist or something like that.

    bullshit!

    There was a report in one of the mags out there that the Park Service found webcams mounted in the mens showers in Yosemite.

    Huh? Any diesel engine will burn biodiesel and I just learned over the weekend that its readily available here in Portland. Hell, I can have a 55 gallon drum delivered right to my house! I'm looking into fueling our Passat that way. So why is it you can't upgrade? Yup! There is a place in seattle that sells it now too. The point was a vehicle I want. word has in that the 'o4 passat will be availble with the new PD diesel engines and AWD! Thats what I am holding out for--a passat diesel wagon. Or the hydrogen SUV. Then you and your SUV-hating attitude can engage in self-abuse. Iain--its my understanding that the VW's don't require any retrofitting whatsoever.

    And talk about the relative merits of your favorite pokeimon characters. It'll be a real hoot.

  10. Nice backpedaling to avoid having to provide proof of your illustrious achievements.

    YOu weren't around for the Muir on Saturday thread. We've got a long ways to go before we surpass that one.

    A friend of mine supplemental his financial aid in college via this method. His girlfriend often complained, and sometimes helped, but he seemed to be a happy camper.

    But Josh, if you saw me in my suit driving to work on the ONE day that year I did so wouldn't you be passing the same judgment on me that you did on the other guy? Don't you see the hypocrisy?

    Pisswater? I dont think HB sells coors.

    And as I've stated (and shown evidence of) it is my business, and everyone else who has a penis larger than 2" and doesn't drive an environment wrecking, "fuck everyone else around me", yuppie death-mobile. Hey Ursa-- I'll be at the Pub Club at the Horse Brass Thursday. I drive a forest green 4runner and I will park it right out front under a streetlight. Bring some stickers. And some bandages. Here's a story for all you judgmental little twits out there: I own the above-described SUV. I've been bike commuting to work and elsewhere in Portland for over 15 years (7 of those years I didn't even own a car). For the most part, my truck remains idle throughout the week (less than 20K in the 4 years that I've owned it). I use it when I go to the mountains, when I am hauling a lot of crap and/or my two dogs. My wife drives a TDI Passat that gets about 40mpg on the highway but is impractical for hauling around gear and dogs and she doesn't want to fuck it up by driving down the gravel roads that I oftentimes drive my truck down. On the extremely rare occasion that I drive to work you may actually see me driving solo in it with a suit on because my wife drives the Passat to her work. Oh--and in those 15 years of bike commuting I've had three accidents involving motor vehicles. Twice with hondas and once with a BMW. Never with an SUV. So Ursa, wanna tag my truck? Its really sad that you are this judgmental. A car is a tool. Do I need to drive an SUV? Probably not but its the right tool for the job.

    Silver Subaru's burn nicely as well.
  17. Your honor maybe? If that matters to you.
  18. Please, go out back to measure your peni.

    bullshit!

    Bullshit: as an editor for a climbing magazine, a voice for our beloved sport whether we like it or not, he did something undeniably stupid and refused to apologize for his actions. He potentially risked access and his actions reflect poorly on the climbing community. That, dear fejas, is indeed bullshit.

    Thursday, Horse Brass, 7 pm. I will not be there until 9 but will be ready for some debauchery. B-rock: I'll bring some new lipstick for your SO; DFA: bring the midgets and wesson; Winter: Miss Nude Oregon and Drew; Shred: Digital camera to capture it all; Chris T: an anecdote to the sausage festival; Topics for discussion: is DFA really Iain in drag? Will Pete remember anything from his trip to sin city? Who will barf first during the Sisters Marathon?

    You didn't see her? She spent most of her time wrapped around a pint glass. Personally, lipstick around your hand is not an "SO" but thats just me.
  24. If this subject interests you I recommend a book called "Galileo's Revenge" which covers junk science in the courtroom.
