Peter_Puget Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 I didn't get a chance to post....Why the closure of this thread and not the Mountaineers thread? Quote
payaso Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 REI thread is re-opened right here! I seems like everyone has had the same crummy experiences with REI. Someone in the thread said it perfectly that REI would be happy selling nothing but fleece which they make a real good profit on, and only consider the climbing equipment as a bait to get you in to buy overpriced fleece and Nalgene bottles. I like the idea of creating a new co-op. Put em out of business. Quote
lizard_brain Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 How about some 'splainin'? Waddup wit the closure? Fill us in! [ 04-04-2002: Message edited by: lizard brain ] Quote

Ok here's the truth, REI wanted the thread closed so I said that I'd do it for a Land Rover running Windowz XP with a Mounties sticker on the back so I could drive it up to Muir this Saturday and tell Dan Larson he sucks. Obviously they fell for it. Quote
Peter_Puget Posted April 4, 2002 Posted April 4, 2002 wow, good call Jon, can I get in on the swag fest? Quote
slothrop Posted April 5, 2002 Author Posted April 5, 2002 Sheeit, nice work, jon. I think I'm going to start a thread on how much a new set of Friends and twin ropes and a rack of Express screws really really suck. I actually had question relevant to the REI thread: one poster said that you can special order anything and it's dividendable, while another said that you can special order, but it's not dividendable and you have to pay a $25 fee for the special order. What's the scoop, yo? Jules? Quote

What's the scoop, yo? Jules?[/QB] sloth, I'll have to verify that. And I requested the original thread closed because I was hearing too much about it from the office. Go for it on this one, kay?!

jon Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 She's lying don't trust her!!!!!!! I first asked for a humvee but they said no way so I settled for the Land Rover. I'll fit in just fine in Bellevue now. I pitched them the idea of the "mattp effortlessly cool alpine beta buddy" doll and I thinked they liked it. It's like hey alpine buddy what should we climb this weekend, pull the string, "let's do a rare line on Big Four!" YES!!! Quote

glen Posted April 5, 2002 Posted April 5, 2002 Hmmmm... It was stopped on post 69. Perhaps it is a subtle comment on the REI flagship training program? That or we can start coming up with some tantalizing conspiracy theories! Quote
