More likely I'm time spent on the internet impared. I notice that all the statistics you quote are from 1965 till now. I'm sure the averages are in your favor when you use a time span that includes 8 presidential administrations. What I'm interested in is contrasting the period from 2000 to the present. To be fair a good statistic would compensate for population growth inflation etc. Hmmm I can blow off work and spend the day researching and arguing with F....Hmmm I think I'll go to work.

That's nice about secondary schools Fairweather. What's more important is what's going on in the primary schools. Without a basic education the likelyhood of turning to crime skyrockets. GW Bush passed a no child left behind bill, but guess what? That's right he didn't put any money behind it. So I suggest putting the tax money you save Fairweather plus a little extra into a fancy security system.

It's not a joke they do suck.

due to the nature of my work i pay all at once. due to my nature i spend my money and dont save too well. april is painful. April 15 hurt me last year.

I'm actually getting money back this year. I suppose I should thank GW, but I want to be taxed if it pays for public education and cleaning up the environment. A basic health care plan would be good too. Too bad PP is against a clean environment and public education.

They created this after studing sharks

Hippies and Patulie oil

Ya know democracy is cool and all, but you all sound like a bunch of chickens with your heads cut off. When I first posed this question everyone seemed into the 24th/25th weekend not the 1st/2nd but now I can't figure out what the hell everyone wants and Jay just brought up the 17th/18th which just ain't gonna happen. If you'd like to have the Ski In on the 24th/25th say so in a manner that is comprehensible in the english language or if you'd like to have the party on the 1st/2nd do so in a likewise manner. Ya'll have until the 8th before I make a decision. PS Dave P's vote counts way more than most of you suckers.

I would say that Whistler is money friendly. If you''ve got the bucks you can do whatever you want to.

Fuck the Big Time. I don't know if I'll make the show, but ask yourself this. Do you want to go drinking with a bunch of deadhead, petulie stinking, hippies ? Fuck the Big Time.

Hey those are mine give em back.

I think it's more important to lash down whatever tarp you use so it doesn't flap a lot in the breeze.

Way back at the begining of Saturday Night Live there was this guy. Hey Tippy Turtle walkin down the street Tells us what you're gonna do First I'm gonna bother everybody I meet Then I'll probly go home and get drunk Tippy inspired quite a few PNW climbers.

That's pretty cool what you're doing with the sandblasting. I used to climb there in the 80s and the place was a pit; graffiti and junk were everywhere. Despite that I thought the rock was a fun place then. It sounds like it's even better now.

Sorry Double E looking at the most recent report, I'm 95% positive that the highway will be open on the weekend of the 17/18th. This means that we can party on Sat. April 24th and Sun Apr 25th. Unless a bunch of folks say otherwise.

"No sir I didn't like it"

I'm a little late here, but I find Marylou's comments just wrong. TN is doing a good job of describing things from his perspective, which just happens to be a lot closer to the action in Iraq than any of ours. I don't always agree with what TN says, but I think it's downright offensive and narrow minded to discount his oppinion's the way Ml does.

We dropped a bunch of stuff out of a plane when we went to Lotus Flower. We put most everything in these screw top 2 gal containers. The pilot did a bunch of circles where we had a 5 second window to drop stuff into Fairy Meadow. The pilot flew as low and slow as he could. We had a lot of canned food that survived in a semi mangled condition and one container hit a rock in a streambed and exploded. I don't think I would drop a regular 1 gal white gas can. I'd pad a container and put a few metal fuel cans. Just make sure you have a back up plan if things explode, and don't use your $500 down parka as padding.

I remember when they were logging after the fires in the Icicle. They had the whole place shut down. I can see them doing the same or worse while there building this tunnel. After it's done there bound to put up a bunch of security fences and have roving security pigs fucking with climbers.

I think someone's just jealous I think Dru's deamed of being a woman for years.

We've been talking about you all day in at least 3 super secret forums Dru

While the RC post is a good example of Lambone inspired dysfunction, the dude at RC who hates L has nothing on Captain Caveman. If he really hated Lambone he'd flood the board with bizarre death threats that somehow related to each forum.
