korup Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yes, boys and girls, the inevitable has finally occured. The new Fall REI catalog DOESN"T HAVE A SINGLE PIECE OF HARDWARE ANYWHERE IN IT! The transformation to Eddie-Bauer-yuppie-GoreTex-yoga-grrll-style emporium is now complete. I want my freakin' membership fee back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EWolfe Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 They are trying to regain their peer status. You don't need "equipment" to free-solo Brass Balls, you know. Pffft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashw_justin Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Did you guys know that they even have some kind of ranger station in there? They're really only a clutch of snaffles and a pit toilet away from the Complete Outdoor Adventure Experience! Soon the REItes will feel no need to visit the highly inferior, crackaddict robber-infested backwoods, and return it to you depraved forest-raping primitives for the gratification of whatever sick pleasures you are addicted to.

lizard_brain Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I bought all of my hardware, my last 3 packs, my last 2 pairs of boots, two sleeping bags, assorted clothes, and my last rope at PMS. -Mostly more serious gear. Â At REI I bought my trekking poles, a lanyard for my work ID card, insect repellent, 5 boxes of Gu (25% off), a bandana, gloves (on sale), a 5-oz. capacity water bottle, a couple of slings, a pair of plastic spoons... -Mostly nickle-and-dime stuff.

He believed in love and peace and never wore no shoes. Long hair, beard and sandals and a funky bunch of friends. Reckon they'd just nail him up if He come down again.  'Cos everybody's got to have somebody to look down on. Who they can feel better than at anytime they please. Someone doin' somethin' dirty, decent folks can frown on. If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me."   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

builder206 Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) filled with a bunch of left wing wackos who...listen to depeche mode... Â What's with Depeche Mode? Was 1988 an atavistic low-water point for you? It's a stupid and much too personally obscure reference. Spit your self-dramatizing bile on something contemporary.
