    Uses for Bamboo?

    In a lot of Asian countries they make some burly scaffolding out of bamboo
  2. There are plenty of reasons why you may need a large vehicle. In my business you can't do the work on the bus. Maintaining trees relates to global warming, but it also relates to keeping your house value up.
  3. Yeah I've got a 3/4 ton diesel pickup. Talk about a hog. I had it initially because I periodically had to tow some heavy equipment for work and do some funky off road driving. Nowadays I'm pretty god damn happy I can drive since I'll still have to do that for work, but I sure as hell don't need and can't afford an ubermacho pickup. Climate change isn't even the immediate reason here. I have been riding the bus a lot, and I imagine I'll keep that up even though I can drive whenever I want to.

    7/7/7

    It's 7/7/7 I hope you're having a lucky day I suppose you could write it down as 07/07/07 but it's all the same.
  5. I've seen some pretty sharp ice cubes out ice climbing.
  6. That's just about the best youtube video I've ever seen.
  7. All those extra goats could be put to use right in Seattle. I'm not kidding or looking for love. All the steep hillsides in Seattle have a major problem with English ivy and many other invasive non native species of plants. We need a few goat herders and thousands of goats on the hills above I-5 and other spots to clean up the place. On top of that all the kids will love driving down the freeway checking out the goats. baa baa baa baa baa baa
  8. If you're a really cool Prius owner you can add on battery packs so the thing is even more electric. Maybe that's why they didn't let him off the hook.

    BITCHIN CAMERO

    It was a picture of the album cover not a Camero.
  10. Index is a pretty good example of this. If the idea is to preserve it in a truly natural state then we should stop trundling and cutting out trees, shrubs, moss, and dirt. In addition we should be making an effort to restore areas where climbers have changed the cliff environment. Personally I like climbing and I figure that doing stuff that will increase the number of people out enjoying the environment is a good thing. If you look at a historic view of the PNW you'll find that the indians living east of the cascades used to set fires in the trees to burn out the new growth but preserve the older big pine trees. The idea was to create an open but still forested environment that would encourage deer and elk to stay in the area and thus improve the hunting. I figure the best thing we as climbers could do is to come up with a consensus on when the best time to do trundling would be and be responsible enough to post notes where climbers park informing them on the trundle zone.

    So...

    I've been fighting a bit with the yellow pages over them demanding payments for services that I never signed a written request for. All I can say is budget some time to call them repeatedly to say, "what the fuck?" Tell them you sent in a change of address (on the exact date) and question why they haven't actually changed your billing address. The key is to be polite, take notes on what the conversation was about, write down the names and exact contact info for the people you talk to. Then don't be afraid to call the people you talked to initially back after they haven't called you back and repeat the same process. Sometimes stuff like this takes several phone calls. Yes it is bullshit and it does suck.
  12. That's a first now Sheaf has made 2 posts in one topic.
  13. Dude get with the program. The real debate is how Sheaf was fathered.
  14. Interesting theory, or was his dad screwing the sleeping dog in the house then making up to the dog by giving her a tasty dog bone to chew on.

    BITCHIN CAMERO

    Bitchin' Camaro Rod - Hey Jack, what's happenin'? Joe - Oh, I don't know. Rod - Well, rumor around town says you think you might be heading down to the shore. Joe - Uh, yeah, I think I'm goin' down to the shore. Rod - Whatcha gonna do down there? Joe - Uh, I don't know, play some video games, buy some Def Leppard t-shirts. Rod - Hey, don't forget to get your Motley Crue t-shirt, y'know, all proceeds go to get their lead singer out of jail. Joe - Uh huh. Rod - Hey, you gonna check out the Sandbar while you're there? Joe - Uh, what's the Sandbar? Rod - Oh, it's this place that lets sixteen year-old kids drink. Joe - Oh, cool. Rod - Y'know who's gonna be there? Joe - Uh, who? Rod - My favorite cover band, Crystal Shit. Joe - Oh. Rod - Yeah, they do a Doors show, you'd be really impressed, in fact, it goes a little like this: Love me two times baby Love me twice today Love me two times girl Cause I got AIDS Love me two times baby, once for tomorrow, once cause I got AIDS Joe - Wow, Pretty good Jim Morrison impersonation there. Rod - Yeah, I hope those guys have a good sense of humor and don't take us to court. Joe - Uh, what's the court? Rod - Never mind that, Joe - Oh, you mean like the People's Court? Rod - Well, that's another story; the important thing here is you gotta ask me how I'm gonna get down to the shore. Joe - Uh, how you gonna get down to the shore? Rod - Funny you should ask, I've got a car now. Joe - Oh wow, how'd you get a car? Rod - Oh my parents drove it up here from the Bahamas. Joe - You're kidding! Rod - I must be, the Bahamas are islands, okay, the important thing now, is that you ask me what kind of car I have. Joe - Uh, what kinda car do ya' got? Rod - I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO! BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I ran over my neighbors BITCHIN CAMARAO, BITCHIN CAMARO Now it's in all the papers. My folks bought me a BITCHIN CAMARO with no insurance to match; So if you happen to run me down, please don't leave a scratch. I ran over some old lady one night at the county fair; And I didn't get arrested, because my dad's the mayor. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Doughnuts on your lawn BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Tony Orlando and Dawn When I drive past the kids, they all spit and cuss, Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO and they have to ride the bus. So you'd better get out of my way, when I run through your yard; Because I've got a BITCHIN CAMARO; And an Exxon credit card. BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO Hey, man where ya headed? BITCHIN CAMARO, BITCHIN CAMARO I drive on unleaded.

    BITCHIN CAMERO

    You better get out of my way or I'll run you down in my BITCHIN CAMERO No shit I am pretty fucking happy. I just got the word today that I'm approved by the Hospital and the DOL to drive whenever I want to. So you better stay off the road.
  17. I knew you ladies had done that route, but it's nice to see the pictures.

    It's easy to confuse me when I've never done much reading on the East India Company.

    Hmmm, and I always figured it had to do with Mt Fairweather.
  20. I was a slacker yesterday, but not today. I didn't even run stairs, but I did spend the day nailing on siding on this house. Right now I'm at 208 lbs. That's down 12 lbs from my start or down 8 pounds by the official rules.
  21. Where on 85th is the Ballard Bar? I don't remember it.
  22. The faster you drive the safer you are.
  23. Yeah those are pretty styling shirts and vests. I've got some old elvex gear I stole from my previous employer, but they aren't anywhere as styling. Please note that the kevlar chaps you see the dude wearing are pretty standard chainsaw protection that have been around for years. In fact I've been to the emergency room twice because I wasn't wearing them and I took one employee to the e room because he wasn't wearing them either. I never saw any pictures of MJ on stage with a chain saw. In fact he doesn't deserve to say, "I'm bad," without a chain saw.
  24. You've missed the theme of the thread. This isn't a debate just post random bullshit.
