northfork Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Sure why not. Ed is simply being smart. Who cares. Quote
Country_Jake Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Sweet dude... I wont a bunch of free computer gear and a nice fat check in return for a little publicety work... dude we're all climber, but we're obviouly all computer nerds as well... why not take the free stuff, the shit is just like having another toy for free or for the use of his name... power on...

hikerwa Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 ok , just being devils advocate here,but didn't most of us just finish ranking on Christine Boskoff for allegedly driving a Land Rover she may or may not have paid for herself..... Quote
rayborbon Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Man I want some laptops and xp products shipped to me asap Then I'll hawk em off for some expedition gear Quote
rodeo Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 XP. Doesn't that stand for "eXtra Painful", or is it "eXtreme Prying"? hmmmmmm (--Clim on,,, Quote
Figger_Eight Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 You do what you gotta do I guess. I wish someone would pay for me to go on expeditions. If they're gonna give me free computers or a car...that's just a bonus. Quote

klenke Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 It's called "endorsement". Heck, if I could get endorsed for a climb to get all its requisite expenses paid for, I'd let any place endorse me. I'd even let Microsoft endorse me. So, Ed Viesturs is having his next excursion funded or partially funded by Microsoft? Mr. Viesturs can improve his climbing ability. But Microsoft Windows will always suck. If climbers locked up as much as Windows, there wouldn't be any climbers left. They'd all be in a pile down below on the talus. Quote
Brock_Landers Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Yer all jealous. I'd endorse Depends if they paid me to go climbing. Quote
Country_Jake Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Hell I'd let the Casttle Super store endorce me (that our local porn store)... endorce me for climbin' or f@#%in' makes no diference to me... Quote
miker Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Depends and a harness, now that is a look! And think about it, no pooptube, no need to stop, just climb, climb, shit, climb...hmmm anyhoo, I say if you can get free stuff for endorsing something and it isn't like a euthenasia kit for home use then more power to ya. If you have issues with the company or it's policies then don't endorse it and don't buy it, real simple. mikerP.S.-see ya at JTree this weekend you posers! Quote
klenke Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 Question is: who's endorsing who? Viesturs: "Hey Gates, I'll say I use your product [who doesn't?], if you give me the money I need for my next big expedition." Gates: "Sounds good. Be sure to wear the Microsoft logo on your helmet when you try for K2's summit." V: "Does it matter then? Who's gonna see me? Besides, I don't think I'll wear a helmet for K2." G: "Then be sure to wear the logo on your thermal underwear." V: "But I won't be wearing any underwear. Never do." G: "Damn! Uh, can I get my money back?" Quote
Peter_Puget Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 gotta mix threads for a second, in the rei post replace rei with castle super store, it's sorta funny... well not that funny... Quote
klenke Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 What's the joke about Castle Super Store? Haven't heard of the store before. Just curious. Quote
Slide Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 Castle Superstore is a huge chain porn shop. I buy all my dvd's there You can pick up 3 dvd's for about 40 bucks there. DVD porn, the future is at hand!!! Quote

I dunno, i just find it very humorous that msft is sponsoring a climber, thats all. first he was in vertical limit, now he's got billy g in is pocket i'm jealous Quote
offwidthclimber Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 dude, you ALL know the real reason for the endorsement is because Viesturs wants to hook up super phatty computer shit so he can quit climbing and spend all his time here becoming a master cascade SPRAYER! ...and i agree, if i was a world class climber, not some fucking punter like i am, i'd let depends or castle super store or whoever sponsor me if it meant more $$ for more climbing! peace.
