Could you post links to posts in which I bagged someone who couldn't climb 5.10? I'd be curious to see them.

 

I'd also be curious to see who agree with your comment:

TR's are boring unless you do something that someone hasn't done before or you epic.

 

I think you should post a poll to see if others agree or disagree with you.

 

Before I joined the site my “climbs to do” list was big... since joining the site and reading others TRs my “climbs to do” list has roughly tripled. Additionally it has prompted me to explore alternate climbing styles that I had previously dismissed based on the success others had in a TR. So I welcome and encourage anyone to post a TR for anything.

 

Finally and most importantly: I am the first to admit I am egotistical… to the point it borders on shallow; it is something I constantly struggle with… As improbable as it might sound; I have actually decreased the size of my ego over the years ooo.gifblush.gif. The site definitely keeps me humble... or at least cuts me down to size… I think the other problem is my writing style in conjunction with the anonymous nature of a message board only propagates the perceived size of my ego... I would argue of the few people who have met me after reading my various posts most would agree I am just another passionate climber chasing his passion... nothing more… nothing less. I apologize if you can't swallow my ego... I can tell most people choke on it. But if you are willing to be patient with me I promise to try and put up with you.

 

Peace!

John

we tried that but our replies somehow got lost in cyberspace. rolleyes.gif

 

I replied to every single person that wrote me. You didn't get a reply becuase you didn't follow the directions.

That is why I don't post them unless something notable happens. I hate reading lame Toof TR's but if they are funny and injected with some humour they are fun too. I was just telling you why I don't write as many, not making judgments on others.

Good catch but I work and climb with Kirb dog... As his cube is right next to mine I make sure to fart with my ass pushed against the cube wall on a daily basis... in addition to heckling him on line. FYI I also work with Illini so he also gets online heckling (my leg hurts...)

 

Honestly Ron climbs harder than me... its a shame he has only gone climbing twice this year (are you reading this ron?).

This makes even Freddie Mercury uncomfortable. NOLSE and Scott, time to admit your true feelings for one another...

 

I like girls thanks.

and NOLSE please don't tell me you are denying that you talk shit to people taht can't, as you say, "pull-down." One might make the argument that you can't pull-down either. At least I know that climbing 5.11 is weak-sauce.

fuck that! I am not searching for your verbal masterbation so can find proof that shit stinks. Your an asshole and you said as much just a few posts ago. You are demeaning and you are an elitist that isn't in the elite. How pathetic are you?

I met NOLSe at Tuff Love a few weeks ago, he was one of the first people to walk up and talk to my antisocial ass and my two friends. He seemed just fine to me. Then I came back and read some of his past posts and what I saw more of was people calling him a chestbeater for silly little things. If there's a little ego thrown in every once in a while, I didn't notice and besides, who gives a shit? How about this: from now on, whenever I see NOLSe post anything, I'll call him a chestbeater or arrogant. That'll save you all the trouble. I'll even start today. And I like trip reports even for stuff that's been done before. So if there's a trip report for something that's been done before, how about you don't read it? If you see a TR for Das Toof, just pretend it says "[TR]My foreskin" and don't bother reading it.

There are WMDs in Iraq!

 

No there isn't!

 

Yes there is!

 

Then show them to me!

 

Fuck that! I'm not going to search for them! But they have them!

Does anybody else feel like eating some french fries? Cause its Friday afternoon and the beer is flowing at work [stella] and some fries would really help soak up the alcohol bigdrink.gif
