  1. JFC! You are such an idiot! Again! I don't know the first fucking thing about these two, but a Google search using "pulver faber" turned up, in about, oh, 3.62 nanoseconds, a MMA (that's Mixed Martial Arts, so you don't have to ask about that one) fight coming up. Quit being so goddmaned stupid. Or lazy. Or both. Relax Sobo…….I am the trolling king…..and ……I caught another fish (you)…….isnt that the point of spray? No, it isn't.

  3. Lawn and sprinkler shit on Saturday, then taking the wife and kids out for Mother's Day dinner. Me and The Boy are going trout fishing at some of the small lakes in the Blues east of Dayton on Sunday (he doesn't know that MD is always on a Sunday, so we "switched it" to Saturday so he can go fishing without a guilty conscience).

    Measles outbreak

    I think the inference here is obvious. We haven't had a good religious spray event discussion in a long time either...
  5. Aye, true dat.
  6. Something made me think it might have been you as the anonymous partner. As soon as Amar said, "she"... Nice work, Hannah! Have a bottle of red on me.
  7. Thnx! Nice! [preemptive mention]Tape for R&D? WTF??? Tape is aid. blah blah blah[/preemptive mention] There, it's been said. That should keep most folks from giving you any shit about it. Looks like you had a lot more fun than me that day...
  8. Kevin, my point is that in less time than it took you to type your first post on this thread, you could have answered your own question. And saved the 'bone-bashing in the process.
  9. Jeezus H Christ, 'bone! Just how fuckin' lazy are you, anyway? A search on this board with erden in the Subject Only box, searching all forums, date range newer than 7 years, brings up 7 fucking pages of hits all the way back to 2002. From any one of those threads, you can pick up his last name, Eruc. Then... A Google search using erden eruc nets over 40,000 hits in like, 0.04 seconds. I should think anything on the first 2 dozen pages or so should fill you in. Or do you want us to read it to you as well? You offerred yourself up as a punching bag in another thread, but we're really getting tired of throwing you left hooks... Oh yeah... Way to git 'er done, Erden! :tup:

    Caption Contest

    "I musta taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque."
  11. Cant you go to Kayakers.com for that? If that isn't just askin' for it, I don't know what else would be...
  12. Predominantly classical, although the somewhat more obscure classical. Usually written in a minor key, and with a strong violin section. But my musical tastes are highly varied. To say I only listen to classical music would really be misleading someone.

    Muir Snowfield

    As CFF and Skeezix have pointed out/implied, print off the Get Your Bearings sheet and take it with you, and a device with which to use it (compass or GPS). It should be intuitively obvious to know how to use the chosen device(s). Other than that, stay hydrated and have fun! And sunscreen - LOTS of sunscreen. And sunglasses, with side shields. And - well, you get the idea...
  14. No apology required. BTW, we weren't called either.
  15. too bad you didn't Ba-dum, ching!
  16. Now that's just not funny. Unlike the Sportka commercial where the cat gets his head lopped off by the sunroof. Now THAT was funny. The one with the pidgeon and the hood is even funnier.
  17. I can't help muhseff, but I thought that was really funny. Sorry, 'bone...
  18. Thanks Keith. I only included SMR (via edit) because of this statement, from your post above: "Bellingham Mountain Rescue volunteers and the group Snowmobile Volunteers plan to search the area in the lower Coleman Glacier. Skagit Mountain Rescue will also search the east side of the mountain in case Lafleur went into the Baker Lake area." I don't know how wide Gilder and friends want to cast their net, so I was being inclusive of both MR units in my last post.
  19. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... the similarity is distinctive...
  20. Not trying to stir up the pot here, but Gilder, if you decide to donate to the mountain rescue folks that looked for Kevin, be very specific that you want your donation to go to the mountain rescue folks, not to SAR in general. Let me explain... If you contact the BMRC (and/or Skagit MR) folks directly, or use the link woodchips provided and click on the PayPal toggle, rest assured that they will get your donation. However, if you contact the Whatcom (and/or Skagit) County SAR directly, which operates out of the county sheriff's office, the likelihood of your donation reaching BMRC (and/or SMR) is considerably reduced. Your donation will likely go into a "general fund" of donations. If that's OK with you, so be it. But I sense by your post that you would like to donate directly to the folks who were on the mountain looking for Kevin. That would (primarily) be the BMRC (SMR) folks. The Whatcom (and/or Skagit) County general SAR types, probably not so much. As Bug tried to explain, us Mountain Rescue folks are all volunteers. We have a skill, and we lend it when it is requested of us. We get that request through the reporting party calling 911. The 911 call/request for help is then routed to the county sheriff for the county where the assistance is needed. The Sheriff's Office for that county then makes a decision that SAR (in general) is needed. Once it is determined which specialty group (i.e., mountain rescue in this case) within the larger, general, SAR organization is needed, that group is contacted. It is primarily those folks that go up the mountain to search and rescue. Why do I say this? We in Central Washington Mountain Rescue (CWMR) have had several missions whereupon the conclusion thereof, the parties (or their next of kin) have wanted to make a dontation to CWMR. These people send in their donation to the Yakima County Sheriff/SAR (who we operate under, as previously described), who cashes their check and deposits the money into the general county SAR operating fund. We (CWMR) never see the money. Sometimes, we run into these people again somewhere, and they ask about their donation. What have we to say? "We never got it. It went to SAR." So the lesson: Be very specific to whom you want your donation to go, if in fact you want it to go to BMRC (and/or SMR), and not the general SAR organization. Thanks, Paul Soboleski Immediate Past President, CWMR
  21. The parting of the hair would give it away, but he's shielded it from view with the non-Mountie-certified double bandana scheme. Curses, foiled again!
  22. HTF did I miss this razor-sharp exchange (b/w Mark and Dru) of witty banter? Hilarious, yet informative (sorta).
  23. Ya know, Bala, I never put 2 and 2 together on those pics. Figures that a smart guy like you would do the math!
  24. Post 'em here when you get 'em. Pics of R&D are always well-received. For some reason, I just never take pics on climbs anymore.
