angry old rich man. He's a major founding figure of modern climbing. Show some respect. Angry? I would be too, (in fact I am) if I witnessed a golden revolution (clean climbing) devolve into a world where climbs solely dependent upon bolts (sport climbing) has become acceptable. Rich? Got a problem with money, Sparky? He earned it. I have to agree with The D man here. I knew Coonyard lightly or even passenly in the late 60's early 70's and he did earn his money. Not like the current Si chip zillioniars that flaunt their "new" money shit. Got a problem with that? If ya do fuck you.

Well we all know waht list Necronomicon will be on as soon as the powers to be surf this site. Nice knowing ya, Necronomicon. I'll send ya some KY so it does not hurt when Bubba and Milo come to see ya.

I like giving nick names to people that piss me off. Teachers that piss me off became: 1. The Romulan = a bitch that was mean to kids and other teachers that did not see it her way(she looked like one too) 2. Ferengi = holy roller that persecuted kids that did not attend church and b/4 school prayer meetings(had big ears, short and wore weird clothes that sparkled like that bar tender dude in Star Trek) 3. Slitmore= an evil woman that tried to ramrod a student out of her science class by telling lies about him(she hated any assertive male). 4. Halibut Head= central admin guy that was hated teachers and was the hatchet man for contract time. Rumor he'd screw anything with a skirt.(name was because of his narrow forhead and wide front to back ratio of his head) to name a few

GAWD I HOPE NOT. And you thought people hated YOU!!!

Is this thread going to pass Muir on Saturday?

Politics is ghoulish.

When I worked for REI and MSR in the dark ages both companies noticed an increase in sales when the weather turned to rain and cold.

Minx, I know of some things you can mix up and put into your microwave to cause an explosion. Did this out side one time using an old microwave...very serious debris went flying in air

Are you enrolled at Michigan Tech?

Not true, Off White. If it did the nations of the world would have a small miltary budget and bigger budgets for social good.

christ you must be starved for entertainment. U responded so i guess that answers that, fuck face

My all time favorite is watching the family cat hack up a fur ball and then having the family dog go over and try to eat it.

So Surf-Dog Erik: what's the name of this "best" surfing beach Chouinard "closed down"??? it is called the ranch, and it borders his property. GOOD GOD, ERIK, LETS SUE THE SON OF A BITCH. ITS AN AMERICAN TRADITION AND WE ALL KNOW THAT TRAD IS BEST!!!!

He's a miltary man, what kind of hair cut do you think he has?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, god damn I nearly shit myself on that one!

Are there a lot of greedy trial attorneys out there? Of course there are. The profession attracts lots of jerks and to be a successful trial attorney you almost HAVE to be aggressive and good at manipulating people. I used to think that Plaintiff's attorneys represented the worst among my profession, but for the last four or five years I have shared an office with one and, yes, he fits some of the stereotypes. But once I've had the opportunity to hear things from his point of view I have come to the conclusion that, on average, insurance defense attorneys may be the lowest of the lot (and I have personally known some of them over the years, as well). Still, it takes both sides to make our system work -- even if you aren't completley happy with how it stumbles along. I hate to agree with Matt, but I do here. When I pick a lawyer I ask around, usually a lawyer that does not practice in the particular field I am asking to be represented in. I ask that lawyer for the person they would trust with their life. I usually end up with a fucking wolverine on crack. I love these lawyers when I go to court or into the office of the people I am having trouble with. you can see their ass hole shrink. I have never sued anyone but have threaten to sue my employer of 20 years when they fucked with me. They backed off and left me alone. I could see fear i n their eyes when I walked in with Mr. T-----. A lawyer in downtown Anchorage. He is THE WOLVERINE!

Now that made me laugh. hahaha I haven't puked since I quit boozing. The last time out I puked so hard that there was no room for the flow from my mouth so it came out my nose and mouth...the Mexican poison and all the food I had eaten...fuck I think I have to puke...got to go now.

You fucker Trask, I am in a public school and I clicked on the site without thinking that anything sent by you had to be XXX rated. God almighty.....

The Glacierdog wants some more beta...this time on good climbing areas in the Father land of Germany or at least close so he can get there easily. By the way G-dog send me a pm or a email, ya fuck!

I figured all the greenies on this site would use the "Ahab the Arab" hand wipe routine and clean off in sand and a little water.

Obscenity is the crutch of inarticulate motherfuckers. Funny, as soon as I saw this post all I could think was how Sisu's potty mouth has gone down the shitter. In the past he would have said shit like: "what kind of s*&t is this?" Poor sisu, giving into peer pressure. Where's that conservative individualism, old boy? I'm on a public computer in a photography class surrounded by 17-18 year old boys and girls. I have to be on my best behavior.

Your comparison is not even close if that is what you are trying to do. Your example is the total disregard for something that was going to happen...the T-bone accident. (I agree with you on this example but not on the 911 attack) Public buildings are designed to withstand what ever engineers consider "normal and expected" stress and strains. A passenger jet is not "normal"!

Sept 11 lawsuits can proceed From correspondents in New York September 10, 2003 A US federal judge ruled today that lawsuits can proceed that blame airlines, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Boeing Co for injuries and deaths in the September 11 terrorist attacks. The 49 page ruling by US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein was based on the cases of about 70 of the injured and representatives of those who died in the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and the crash of a hijacked plane in Pennsylvania. He said the Port Authority, which owns the World Trade Centre property, "has not shown that it will prove its defence of governmental immunity as to negligence allegations made by WTC occupants". The defendants had argued that the lawsuits against them should be dismissed because they had no duty to anticipate and guard against deliberate and suicidal aircraft crashes into the towers and because any alleged negligence on their part was not the cause of the deaths and injuries. The judge said the evidence he had seen does not support Boeing's argument that the invasion and takeover of the cockpit by the terrorists frees it from liability. The plaintiffs said Boeing should have designed its cockpit door to prevent hijackers from invading the cockpit. The plaintiffs had said that American and United Airlines and the Port Authority were legally responsible to protect people on the ground when the hijacked aircraft smashed into the twin towers, causing them to collapse. As a result of the ruling, court officials were preparing for a possible legal onslaught at the Manhattan courthouse as early as this week as some people choose lawsuits over applying to the federal victims compensation fund. December 22 is the last day families may apply to the fund, created by the US Congress to provide financial aid to the families of those killed or injured in the attacks, and to protect the commercial aviation industry from crippling litigation. As of late August, 2275 claims had been filed. But roughly 1700 families had yet to decide whether to enroll with the fund or join lawsuits against the airlines, security companies and government agencies. The average payout so far has been about $US1.5 million ($2.32 million), with the highest award $US6.8 million ($10.52 million). The minimum payout is $US250,000 ($386,877). The fund has made offers averaging $US1.41 million ($2.18 million) to 398 families thus far. About 1600 families have filed papers stating an interest in applying for the fund.
