Dwayner Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 ...went back to Hawai'i for a little while to reasbsorb some of the old spirit, attend the Ironman thang, traverse some lava landscape, etc. and I come back to read a couple of weeks worth of cc.com this and that, and what do I encounter?: The old bolting/sport climbing unresolvable "debate" raging once again for like the third time this year and as usual, with lots 'o anger on all sides; odd stuff about "moondancing"; a picture of a skinny girl in her underwear being touted as "the most accomplished all-around female climber in the world" - never heard of her; and a strange composite photo of the lovely Holly Climber's head on someone else's body; plus lots of nasty chatter mixed in with the rest. What happened to the aloha, my righteous alpine brethren? (Lot of folks uptight about the horrendous mayhem, no doubt...no excuse for being mean-spirited, however. And remember, you still got a far greater chance of being hit by lightening or a car than being attacked by a terrorist and there's little you can do about it anyway.) So all I got to say is: Spread the shalom and share the aloha. And don't call me a hippy for saying so. Here's a sample: http://www.himah.org/meaning_of_aloha.htm http://homepages.uhwo.hawaii.edu/clear/lawaloha.html aloha, Dwayner Quote
Lambone Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Namaste Dwayner-time to lend us a little inspiration around here... Quote
pope Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 "Tiki mano ahu akoakoa haliaki kamu poa." That's aloha-land for "Tiki says, "A bolt in the mountain is like a fly in the poi!'" Quote
Bob_Clarke Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 I too just returned last night from 10 days in Maui. Aloha! What's up with this cold weather? Why is everyone so pale? Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 That's awesome, Dwayner. Aloha to you, and aloha.... To everybody!!!! Quote

sexual_chocolate Posted October 15, 2001 Posted October 15, 2001 Hey DRU, you're kinda getting it, but like I said, it relies on terrific foot-speed and sleight-of-foot tricks. Those guys are definitely way too one-dimensional.... Someone on this forum recently personally witnessed the splendid dance that is known as the Moondance.... Quote
