badvoodoo Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Bush may ride the short bus, but I can count on one hand the amount of people I've seen on the internet who will concede a heated debate just because they were wrong. in 2004!

Off_White Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 there may be more peeps here but thery are not good ol' boys. Sisu posts way less, trask doesn't post, and greg ain't a good ol' boy any more....times they are a changin' Sisu never has never been a prolific poster, and of late he's become very disenchanted with Bush. I think that's as powerful an indictment of the man as anything else posted on the board. I haven't noted any particular changes in Greg, unless the outing of his passion for clogs has changed your perception of him. Out of the right wing contingent, I miss Mtn Goat and Fairweather (though FW did just pop in the other day), and it's too bad Caveman doesn't much talk politics anymore. At the same time, I've been largely absent from politcal debate lately too, just too damn much work going on (thankfully) to spend time crafting arguments.

willstrickland Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I read an interesting poll yesterday. It seems that 50% of regular internet users classify themselves democrat, 25% republican, 16% independent, a few percent libertarian, a few undecided/unaffiliated. I guess there's not much else going on. Hunting season is over, the rivers and lakes are still frozen up here so fishing is out, Britney hasn't been tonguing Christina, and Jen-Ben is history. Might as well bag on the Shrub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin_B Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 After W's re-election in November the Bush spray will tapper off as we all settle in for another 4 years of sage wisdom from the greatest linguist ever. So hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icegirl Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 As far as the elk steaks go, you're welcome to what I can offer...there will probably be organic beef hamburgers and/or steaks. Anyone step up to planning this shindig? Icegirl? Chuck? Greg_W I'll help the planning, we gotta figure out if we want it at Sandpoint or Woodland Park. Also a date would be good, I know we did decide either a Wed or Thursday. There was some debate about how soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Icegirl - May 4 would be about right. We did it in early May last year, and the daylength was about perfect. We held it on a Tuesday night, on the theory that nobody would want to devote a weekend evening to such an event and that space in the Park would be easier to come by then. We had a barbeque and then slides started around 8:30 or so if I remember correctly. I've cruised by Woodland Park and they have power outlets and a sink in some of the picnic shelters there, so that might also be an option, but last year we decided that the picnic shelters at Magnuson might be a better place for us because they are more remote.

icegirl Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hmm... I think some people were hoping for something a bit sooner, and something not on a PC night. We can always plan the May 4 thing as well, as a real PC event. Woodland park has some really nice spots, and on the weekday evenings, my experience has been that they are rather empty.

Greg_W Posted March 19, 2004 Author Share Posted March 19, 2004 Also a date would be good, I know we did decide either a Wed or Thursday. There was some debate about how soon. I'd like to lobby hard for a wednesday...potential dates: April 7 or 14? That gives a few weeks to get the word out and for parental types to get babysitters or whatever.

catbirdseat Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 If we had McCain as president the Republicans would have a man they could support in good conscience. Hell, I might even argue on the side of McCain some of the time. There's a man who has honesty and integrity- a real straight shooter, the sort of guy climbers admire.

mattp Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I have no problem with a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday. I'd push for a few weeks later so that we'd have a little longer daylight and better chance that it will be warm outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) FYI (not that it matters): May 4 is a full moon. April 5 is also a full moon. Edited March 19, 2004 by klenke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 That would mean that it'd be pretty full for Greg's April 7 date, too. Maybe we should have a warm-up event somewhere. And then a weekend in Mazama, another at Smiffy, .... we could all quit our jobs and abandon our families and it'd be all .com-all the time.
