RobBob Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 the new soft rock version of Spray. With threads like Silly Mountain Names and Digital Music, we now have spray at the top of the cc.com site, but somehow it all just feels kind of... Quote
tomtom Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Of course, Spray is starring threads such as "Favorite Movie Lines" and "Best practical jokes" with THREE ???. Zzzzzz Quote
Dru Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 i just love this picture. it is like a "spot the difference" game. you got 1) chica on the left with the stealth pants-over-gaiters look 2) slab dude has super high flood pants, or pants tucked into his boots. also whats up with that sweater? is that an 11th essential? 3) granny on the right with her DFA brand Lycra tights, Goretex jacket on this fine sunny day, and gren wool gloves for high friction slab spotting 4) our favorite, "Fat Guy", after shining a compass in his own mouth during the route finding course, and getting his face farted in during the laybacking demo, now relaxes, serene in his absorption of superior mountaineering technique. He's thinkin his fashionable Nautica "waterproof-breathable" jacket will score him some face sitting time in the tent to night from spotter granny. And with a gut like that she wont need a thermarest to fall asleep on either! Quote
iain Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I still can't get over how polished that section of rock is, as if, for decades, this has been the rock on which to practice walking. Quote
fern Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 just imagine the heady days of 1985 when that foreground bush was verdant and lush. "Yes! this is the perfect walking rock! If our footing is unsure and we fail to accurately land the hop to the small rock our fall will be broken by the bush!" ... and now so many years, so many tumbles later ... it is the bush itself that is broken Quote
iain Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 just look at the erosion around the thing! it's like the base of heinous cling Quote
minx Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 i'm shocked that no one has pointed out the very stylish straight ahead comb over the very stylish rock student has. fern-you seem so upset. is that where you learned to walk on the rock? Quote
bDubyaH Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 you guys are killing me dru you definitely have the scientific eye. looks like that slab walk is about as committing as heinous cling as well! Quote
minx Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 further more where IS his helmet???? that poor guy could slip and fall!!!! don't these people know that being outside is dangerous????? Quote
bDubyaH Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 i'm shocked that no one has pointed out the very stylish straight ahead comb over ... don't knock it till ya try it! Quote
Ireneo_Funes Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 This has to be the most over-analyzed photo on this site. Y'all need to think about applying to grad school. You can over-analyze all you want there. Nevertheless, it's funny. Carry on! Quote
Dru Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 I wonder if it's a Wolfowitz saliva-glued combover? Quote
minx Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 oh sh!t, i take it all back. that could be me in the orange hat is there any other kind of combover that matters? Quote
bDubyaH Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 This has to be the most over-analyzed photo on this site. Y'all need to think about applying to grad school. shit man i have a (in the voice of the guy from npr) masters degree...in science! and speaking for all who have less hair than they did a decade ago...comb overs are BAD. don't go there! Quote
bDubyaH Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 ...but if the combover is associated with a mullet Quote
Dru Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 nothing sucks worse than having a hole in your mohawk from male pattern baldness Quote
RuMR Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 further more where IS his helmet???? that poor guy could slip and fall!!!! don't these people know that being outside is dangerous????? kinda looks like a cc.com convention to me? Quote
RobBob Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 huh...I shoulda known this would get moved to spray. capricious moderating I'd hafta say. pusswipes. Quote
RuMR Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 why don't you send a note to cracked?? He's all for more moderating!!! Quote
olyclimber Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 It warms the cockles to see these pics again... Quote
bDubyaH Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 looks like he's attacking his jewels with that ice axe Quote
Dru Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 It warms the cockles to see these pics again... Scientific analysis. 1) What's the green thing on Butt Glissade Guy's pack? It looks like a rolled up foamy or thermarest, but it's MINISCULE? Maybe it's a neatly rolled green garbage bag. He forgot to use it to protect his horts when glissading. But this means, if caught in a suden storm, he can fashion a lightweight, acceptable ponch out of it buy cutting out arm holes and a neck hole! 2) I love the pack this girl has . Finishing touch is the Backcountry Barista coffee mug hanging off the pack. You never know when you may come across a river of boiling coffee and have to french-press the grounds out! I think it'd be sort of like those chocolate rivers in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory The dude in the background has shorts and gaiters but NO POLYPRO! Such deviation from the herd mentality is the sign of a worker unit going rogue. "I've seen things you've never dreamed of...attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion" Quote
bDubyaH Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 dude, they forgot their helmets. they're on the ground behind them on the visquin. mandatory that those get clipped on the pack! Quote
olyclimber Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Is that an ice axe poised to puncture her shoulder? Quote
