Oh...you were talking about drinking a beer??? I guess you missed the part where I actually used the word "beer". See ya there!

Mmmm. . . ice climbing. . . mmmmm

Eat balls asseyes. Drinking and climbing are not mutually exclusive activities.

While toe-sucking a midget at the Dwarf-tossing event, Greg_W almost choked on his . . uh. . .'stick-clip' but instead ended up filling his galoshes with the cornish game hen he ate for dinner that night.

Ah, well I will defer to your vastly superior knowledge with respect to Belgians. As for the beer, I follow the leader (as much as I can before I pass out) and if TG gulps it down who am I to argue?

The man makes the clothes, not the clothes the man.

How often do you get enough thread in the ice on the first turn that you can spread that knob out and not lose the 'bite' that you started? In other words, when you are starting a screw and you turn it all the way you can on the first rotation, it seems to me that spreading that knob out creates too much leverage on the scew so that when you try and turn it, it pops out because it doesn't have enough bite in the ice. I try to place screws about waist high so I can use my hip to hold apply pressure as I turn it.

Yup. Temporary duty assignment. Sometimes the ends justfy the means. While history may not always view those actions in a favorable context, sometimes action is necessary and no amount of handwringing will help.

Don't forget the eggs! Hey Snowbyrd--don't get greedy sistah! The TG-man is donating his luv brew to the fest. He works so hard he never gets to climb so I will be happy with his presence alone, much less his beer selections. That Triple he brought to a PDX get-together left us all polluted beyond recognition and an impromptu 'campout' in Winter's backyard. The stuff of legends.

Put a wig on him and I bet he'd make some cell-mate very very happy.

let's take 1 car you can guard the keg! Better hope your guard doesn't bring a cup. Thats a mighty long, and thirsty, drive.

I did not have sex with that woman! What is it we are talking about? Oh yeah--Tex made me do it. Thats it. Steve, we went through two kegs. I'm willing to be the transport vehicle again if that makes things easier for ya. Shit, I'll do just about anything to keep from having all that Busch beer sitting around our campsite.

They both have their virtues for sure. In your case, you are surrounded by that which we Oregonians crave after months of climbing choss. Therefore Smith might be better for you since its more convenient for you to get on granite whenever you like. I didn't go to the 11worth gig but was at the Smithfest '03 and had a good time. Probably too good a time as the climbing was a bit shakier than the norm. Tough decision you have to make there.

well hello stranger

Glassbonghits? Care to weigh in on this?

Its got a nice beat but you can't dance to it.

Good thing we have Dwayner to act as the moral arbiter of our society.

Don't be dissin mah threads or I'll trunk your ass beyotch.

Yeah--took a few days for my eyes to recover. Made a flight back out right afterwards.

Anyone ever done a winter ascent of Washington? I'm thinking the ski would be well worth it but does the mountain itself receive enough neve/firm snow to make it fun? Is the road beyond Hoodoo plowed at all? How far can one drive beyond hoodoo?
