Fuck you, you anti oval people. They were good enough for me when I started climbing, and they are just fine now.

Just so you know Scott I was Scot'REI. Have fun with your silly chat board. I'll only post in the future if I can figure out how to make pot smoke come out from your computer.

Bzzz wrong you are Erik The Summer of Love was in '67. I remember it well being 3 years old. After they made LSD illegal there wasn't so much love.

Yow!!!!

I think TLG and I would find common ground till we had knocked Allison out.

This whole discussion is funny. If you are a good skier you will eventually push your limits and fuck up. If you wear a helmet then good for you. I don't cause I started skiing way before helmets were even considered for non downhill racers, and because I seem to be really good at taking a hit. Bottom line; in a race between Allison and TLG my money is on TLG.

Sorry I guess I'm not keeping up.

Did you have to have a private moment after the photo shoot Trask?

Jordop and I took advantage of the nice weather and headed up north of Pemberton for a ski trip. Our original objective was Mt. Samson; however when we reached Rairoad Creek we found a closed gate on the road further up the Lillooet. We decided to keep driving up the road to Railroad Pass. The road was compressed snow from a lot of snowmobile traffic. I put my Dodge in 4 wheel low, and we headed up the road on a surface was solid snowmobile whoop-de-dos. Up and up we drove. There was no snow on the hillside but lots on the road. We passed a spur road that headed towards Samson, but we decided that, due to the low snow pack, we would end up walking too much, so we kept driving uphill. My truck was doing fine as long as I stayed at about 5 mph or less; eventually Jordan told me we had driven past the last steep grade before the pass. Just when I thought we were going to drive to the pass I felt my truck start to sink into the snow, and 50 feet after that we augured in. We were only about 1/2 miles from the pass, so it only took a short time to ski there. At the pass we headed east till we reached a point we could ski up Donelly creek. We got off route, but eventually we reached the basin under the Train Glacier. Much to both our suprises we discovered the basin was a haven for high-marking snowmobilers (I may say more about this in spray). We set up our camp and did a short ski. The next morning we skied up the Train Glacier and eventually summited Faceless Mountain. I had never been this far north in the Coast Range, and I was totally psyched to get views of both the Pemberton and Lillooet Icefields. The ski down was Fun; we collected our gear and headed down to the car. All in all this was a Fun trip and the views from the peak were awesome

A few people were talking about the Pyramid last week.

Go get em!

Bummer. I'm sure it's only a little set back though!

Fuck off Dave. I left extra money for his share. Besides all he had was 2 pepsi's. Also as a person who has walked out on their own tab, let alone tip, many times maybe you should keep your mouth shut.

I found this on a Google search. It's the text of some Senate hearing. OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR LAUCH FAIRCLOTH Senator Faircloth. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. .............. Mr. Chairman, in 1990, after the Iraqi invasion of their country, the Kuwaiti government in exile formed Citizens for a Free Kuwait. They hired the lobbying firm of Hill and Knowlton to influence public opinion in this country toward entering the conflict. Lauri Fitz-Pegado was in charge of the effort. Her strategy was to use alleged witnesses to atrocities, to tell stories of human rights violations in occupied Kuwait. Using their testimony, she orchestrated what has come to be known as the Baby Incubator Fraud. She first coached a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, identified only at the time as Naira, to testify before Congress that she had seen Iraqi soldiers remove Kuwaiti babies from hospital respirators. Naira claimed to be a refugee who had been working as a volunteer in a Kuwaiti hospital throughout the first few weeks of the Iraqi occupation. She said that she had seen them take babies out of the incubators, take the incubators, and leave the babies ``on the cold floor to die.'' Naira's emotional testimony riveted human rights organizations, the news mediums, and the Nation. That incident was cited by six Members of the U.S. Senate as reasons to go to war with Iraq. However, it was later discovered that the girl was in fact the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. It turns out that Lauri Fitz-Pegado had concealed Naira's real identity. Since then, reputable human rights organizations and journalists have concluded that the baby incubator story was an outright fabrication. Every study commissioned by the Kuwaiti government could not produce a shred of evidence that the ambassador's daughter had been back in occupied Kuwait to do volunteer work in a hospital. It was a total fabrication.

site your source please! thanks! I seem to remember watching a 60 minutes story where I heard this, but I'm too lazy to look it up. In any case I've heard both the story of throwing out babies and then the story that the young woman testifying was a daughter of a prince and she had been coached.

You are speaking from the perspective of a centrally located poster of cc. Also CJZ has attended a number of Seattle Pub Clubs. The Idea of Pub Club was for posters from the greater Seattle area to get together. The first compromise was that we would visit the eastside once a month. After we did this for a while it became obvious that there wasn't enough eastside support to keep up that schedule, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't visit the eastside from time to time. Since our original system broke down we have been operating under a system one could describe as tyranny of the majority. If you don't live in Ballard/Fremont you are forced to drive long distances to attend Pub Club, and worse yet you have to drive home. Think of this in reverse; how often would you attend Pub Club if you had to drive to Redmond. If you want Pub Club on the eastside you are forced to start a fight to tear it out of the hands of the Ballard/Fremont croud. CJZ isn't asking to go back to the once a month plan; he's just trying to get things so that when a few eastsiders ask for pub Club once every couple months (the last eastside one was 4 months ago) they get some respect from the rest of us. Pub Club is fun. We should be willing to share.

I like your TR. Fuck climbing.

Good times! We all had lots of fun dissing Fremont/Ballard folks (oh my god I am one ) Advice for Dave Schultz. Get your hands on these 2 things: A car Self respect Oh yeah and Good luck to Mtnranger!

Nice to meet you Matt, and Geek too!! All in all that was one of the better Pub Clubs I've been to in a while. It was nice to see a bunch of folks who don't make it into Seattle very often(Lisa, Matt W, CJZ, Jon). For us Seattle folks that Celtic place is really easy to get to, and the bar is a good spot for Pub Club. I may add more details to the report in the Spray version of this Pub Club thread.

Crazy I tell you!

Right you are Trask! I'm cool with that type of moderating

I thought it had something to do with Chic Scott.

I thought you didn't like the term Columbia Mountains.

There is one thing I've learned over the years; you can always count on CJZ to make a bad situation worse.

Hey buddy
