straight tequila with burritos? no one better get behind you...

You're absofuckinglutely correct. I had sent one of the drafters to the store with a wad of cash, and instructed him to get whatever he wanted, but at least one sixer had to be "something different" this time... So I thought he had only bought Coronas, and I posted the OP just before I headed to the fridge to acquire the first catch of the day. Imagine my surprise to find what I currently hold in my hands... a Nukie Brown ale. yummmmmmmmmm...

Well, since I have to leave work a little bit earlier than usual tonight, all of us here decided that perhaps we should get an earlier start than last week. Sooooooooooooooo, here's to the first top to pop today! Coronas with limes this afternoon... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Spencer, If you are referring to the Eduard Burceag tradegy, then one needs to look no further than about the second and fourth replies, wherein counterfeitfake and JoshK state that they walked right into what anyone could have predicted they got had they looked at a weather forecast. So you're argument that "No Body not one person on this site" judging them in hindsight just doesn't hold water. We can armchair quarterback on our own local climbers just as well as we can QB about climbers halfway around the world, thankyouverymuch.

WTF, Ken??? You quit the Corps, or just moving to the Seattle District? And who's giving you shit about your coiffure?

[thread drift] Reminds me of a story told by Col. Charlie Beckwith (US Army, Ret.), the founder of Delta Force, in his book of the same name. Story goes that in the Iranian desert, during the night preceeding what was to be Delta Force's first operation (the ill-fated mission to free the US hostages at the American Embassy in Tehran), a helicopter became disoriented in the night while moving to refuel. It crashed on top of one of the parked transport planes and burst into flames, engulfing the men inside the plane (the chopper crew was incinerated). One of the Delta operators was asleep in the plane, and was rudely awakened by the blast and subsequent fire. He leapt from the plane in the classic parachute dive form, and face-planted into the sand, got up, and ran away from the carnage. Afterwards, Col. Beckwith asked him what he was thinking by doing that... Beckwith: "What was going through your mind, son?" Soldier: "When I woke up, I thought we were still airborne and the plane had been hit by a missile strike. I just wanted to get the hell out before it blew up in mid-air." Beckwith: "But you didn't grab a chute before you jumped." Soldier: "One problem at a time, Sir. One problem at a time." [/thread drift]

That thing looks one-half of a fucking AT-ST Imperial Walker. Ain't much for the stealth approach with that whiny 2-stroke powerplant, tho...

Ba-dum, ching! ouch, that stings. but kinda funny, in a morbid sorta way.

or mebbe some Quilter's Irish Death from Iron Horse Brewery in E-burg, hmmm?

Maybe I don't know what "soft" is these days. I always thought Tieton grades were harder than Squamish, Leavenworth, Smith, or the very few 5.easy climbs at Index. If anything, Tieton will seem a lot harder to a new 5.easy climber because it is steep. Maybe you mean Vantage is soft... I caught that one, too, F4. Tieton will scare the crap out of a new trad leader who doesn't have his skill set down pretty good going into it. The exit moves on many a climb are contemplative, to say the least.

OK, ya got me. And I will not resort to stealth editing.

Not making any judgments here, SS, just pointing out the facts. Any chance then that the shooter on Sauk has a history of torturing small animals? I have no idea, nor any idea why you think I would know that. Non sequitor. Well it is supposed to rain on saturday. Duh. The price of tea in China has certainly been on the rise lately...

Mr. Vang apparently had a history of intimidation of others with his weapons.

Yeah, but can you take it all with you when you go?
