sorry CC

I live in Benton County. Where is this McDonald Forest of which you speak? EDIT: nevermind. Google produces a McDonald Forest in Benton County OREGON

Wow, I'll bet that was chilling. I didn't know that they left all those people's bones out there after Pol Pot's ouster in the mid-1980s. Did you read Survival in the Killing Fields per my suggestion? I spent a long chilling day at Dachau, outside of Munich, many years ago. I still carry the memory of that day. Just plain frightening. Sorry if I put a wet blanket on anyone's day with this post.

How much are ya asking for the tickets? Doesn't matter - I'll take one.

"Well, that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid. Has it's own weather system. HEED! BEER! NOW!" One of the funniest movies ever!

Yeah, even the Minnesota Vikings have been known to "Coug it" in not one, not two, not three, but four, that's FOUR, Superbowls!

Got stalked by one on the way up Mt. Aix (near Bumping Lake) on the east side of the crest off SR 410 a few years back. Only my prints in the snow on the way up. Later that day on my return, there were my prints, and some pretty damn big cat prints for about a half mile. Similar thing happened on one of my early trips into Strobach Mtn. for some ice climbing. I was solo both times (yeah, solo ice climbing isn't all it's cracked up to be ).

Nope. We're closed here. Move along, move along.

THREAD DRIFT WARNING Funny story from Vietnam So my wife's vegetarian; I'm not. We're in Saigon a few years back, and she's trying to tell the waiter that she wants something without any meat in it. Finally, she thinks she's been successful. Food comes, and she's served what appears to be the feet (the clawed ends) of chickens. After some "discussion", the waiter reappears with a magazine and points out a rooster in it. He points to the rooster's feet, and points at the plate in front of my wife. My wife indicates that she's not going to eat it (which I eventually do). The waiter is adamant in his broken English, "No meat, just feet." We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. If you're in the Dry Shitties, the Yummie Pho at the corner of Columbia Center Blvd and Clearwater Ave is the place to get your noodle fix. I eat there about 3X/week.

Wow, I'd already figured out the rubber band/TEC and TEC/Mauly combos on my own, but I had no idea about the double Maul combos. I just tried 'em both out, and the 19/32 combo has way more impact force! And they're both pretty damn accurate weapons, too.

That's all I needed to hear to cement my attendance.

That is so not true! That's what we wanna hear! Making the appearance, I mean. I'm your huckleberry.

that would be spraying from the bathroom... in more ways than one.

Not if you're reserving the site... Ouch!

wet blanket

careful with that hook, man...

A similar, but much shorter, book, The Burden of Guilt, a Short History of Nazi Germany, 1914 to 1945, by Hannah Vogt, is a great read. I finished it in only one sitting late one night. Fascininating.

50% Polak, 50% Kraut, but Born in the USA. Male, white, middle-class, and no, I don't go to church... ever!

More votes for slothrop's and rbw's mention of starting the paper trail at the local PD. Another vote for motion sensor lighting, although foraker's SmartWater "criminal tie-dye" idea looks like it has possibilities... Any thoughts on getting a big-ass Rottwieller? EDIT: chipmunk beat me to it. I type too slow... And DH has it right: reasonable belief of imminent danger of bodily harm

You wanted an opinion, oly. Here's mine: Stick with September 16-17 or later. I can do that. Any earlier than the 16th and I'm a no-show. But all y'all fokkers don't give a crap about me anyway so do whadevva it is yer gonna do, and I'll see if I can work it into my life.

Sounds like yer doin' it up right! Have a blast, arch!

Why ain't you grabbin' her fine ass, then? Can't be you.

You could prolly get that CG, as long as you don't put minx in charge of reserving/paying for the site. No offense meant, minxie! Last year the 8-mile group site was snatched up by some RV/truck camper group, and the "Westside Westfalia-ers" had the fall-back Bridge Creek group area. minx's name was a four-letter word for the weekend.

I'd forgotten about that!

Yeah, that was a nice spot last year. Johnny Creek CG I think it was... memory black-out ensues...
