Interesting concept. My former partner (before he got with kids and all) and I used to go back and forth when it came time to bail. Neither wanted to be "the first" to bail. Typical conversation: Partner: The fill in whatever natural phenomena happen to be most pertinent at the time looks sick. We should really think about bailing. Me: I'm not gonna bail. You wanna bail? Partner: I'm not gonna bail. You wanna bail? Me: I'm not gonna bail. ad nauseum It's a wonder neither of us ever got deaded!

...or setting up tarps for slideshows! Glad to hear how much things have improved for you, Kurt. Carry on!

Again, pure eloquence. Friction bougars are great!

Just not Lincolns...

But think, Pax, to a not too distant future, where only The Almighty Dollar reigns, and you are a major stockholder in Monsanto/ADM/whoever. Some countries will have lots of money with which to feed their hungry; others will not. To which country will you sell your wares? While I can appreciate your statements regarding the susceptibility of our nations, and the world's as a whole, agricultural products and industries, you must admit that my scenario cannot be discounted.

Unless you strap a piece of toast with jam on their back.

I share that worry. When all the "family-owned" farms are gone and all held by private corporations, who then decides who eats and who starves?

Nope, we haven't. This stuff hasn't been around long enough to do that sort of study to a large degree. And there's the rub, I guess, for most people.

You're shitting us right? They've got staff for that? I guess this sort of shite might not be that far off for us out here, given the latest Hood falderal.

It's a "sticky" in the Climber's Board forum. Here.

You mean that's NOT how the NFL draft works??

I'd like to be able to clone myself. That way, I could leave my clone here at work to sit and do nothing except spray, and I could go out climbing. Or drinking. Or whoring. Or whatever. It'd be like having my own Beta-unit!

My Dog, man, what the hell species are you? Your strange digital construction aside, I agree with your sentiment completely. Speaking of stealing a joke from my kid... Q: How do you make a handkerchief dance? A: Put a little boogie in it. ba-dum ching!

That's why I like this guy.

I just want to give some incentive.

Cute, TT. How long did it take you to make that up? Or did you steal that joke from your kid?

:lmao:

incite?? insight?? hmmmmm...

Your practice at spray has produced sublimity in its variables. This is what I was talking about. Only you know that this means. Not necessarily true. Others here can also appreciate The Count's prose.

Finally! Someone able to eloquently put into words what I have believed for oh so many years. Tinkerbell, I humble myself before thee!

Your point being???????? It's a well-known fact in the world today that the United States is "leading" a largely unsuccessful "war on terror", much like we tried, and largely failed, to conduct and win a similar "war on drugs" some 20-odd years ago. I use the expression simply because it's well understood by most people the world over, even if it has become hackneyed. Quit reading my drivel and go read the books.

I was noting the irony of that as well.

NYC is a good date. he doesn't complain about endless belay sessions or bivying in the car. And he dresses nice...
