allthumbs Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 JayB- The best examples were on the bbs thread that got nixed. I've kind of noticed the animosity over the few months I've lurked and sprayed here though. It's like there's no love loss. Like the Navy vs. Marines. Quote

Wayne Love (If I ever see that pervert I'm going to cut his nuts off and feed them to him!) *The German Guy (I can't remember what his name was, Pope hasn't used him lately)...pretty sad when you're mad at imaginary people, eh? *Donna Top Step (would like to challenge her to a mud-wrestling match) Quote

Remember Charlie, kick a reverend's ass and you'll end up smoking a turd in purgatory with Blakely (Blow up Mary Magdalene thing) Rumor has it that someone was going to the Rev's confessional one day to confess cunnilingus. Being rather nervous about his pentence, he asked an altar boy what the reverend gives for oral sex. 2 candy bars and a coke was the reply. Quote
allthumbs Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Not necessarily Alpine. Unless of course you think you're better than the locals cause you lived and climbed in Colorado. But you're probably from Washington too, so I guess you're a local too. If you read the threads it's obvious that there's some anamosity between the states. No big deal. I wasn't trying to start shit. It was just an observation. I think there's been enuf uptight shit happening here today. Peace. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I wasn't being very serious Trask. I lived there and there is good climbing, but PNW kicks COs butt anyday in my book. You should see what they call glaciers there. Quote
allthumbs Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I figured as much. Good climbin' bubba, and may no big icicles fall on yur noggin'. Quote
z Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 You should see what they call POWDER in Washington. Tit for a tat...and I sort of like the angst around here. Quote

You should see what they call glaciers there. Dude - what are you talking about! The glaciers in the park are huge. I was on one just a couple of months ago and it was at least the size of a couple of football fields with a crevasse that was at least a couple of feet deep. You could really twist your ankle in that thing if you weren't careful! Seriously though - one thing about Colorado that really does suck is the lightning that plagues the entire state during summer afternoons, especially on the front range. It usually starts blasting away by 12:30 or so. This really sucks in the park, where it can snow until early July, and by which time the lightning has already started in a big way. About the only time you can climb the big stuff safely is a one or two week interval in mid-September when the lightning is tapering off and the odds of snowfall are relatively low. And as long as I'm on the topic, other things that suck are a twitchy continental snowpack, and the long intervals between powder days. The snow's great when it comes in, but the freshies are much more consistent in the PNW. Plus the terrain is better out there - nothing that compares to Crystal Mountain's Backcountry terrain or the stuff at Whistler/Blackcomb. Even the "legendary" back bowls at Vail are weak by comparison. The only area's where Colorado has a clear edge over the PNW are the sunshine and the ice. The fact that you're closer to Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico is a plus as well. Anyhow, my three year tour here will come to an end shortly so I'll have to resign my membership in the Colorado Booster's society before too long.... Quote

z Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Nobody is going to refute that washington kicks ass over colorado, but damn just don't tell them that OK? Quote
z Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I wish I was skiing that with you today, but I will be pretty soon KF. Quote

I've lived in both places for a while and those are two things that absolutely suck about (western)Washington. Quote
jeffers Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 JayB, catch the back side of the lows to avoid the lightning...watch the pressure rise and go when it first starts to level off, otherwise you're in the high wind zone. Look upstream for dark areas on the satellite vapor images. No water in the air, no lightning. Since it is at least theoretically possible for an airmass to pick up some moisture from snowpack, lakes, dense forests, etc, keep watch in the am. On a good day, you may not see clouds at all until 11 or noon. Significant cloud cover before 9am or vertical development by 10 or 11 and you're at risk. Cheers, and good climbing. Quote
mikeadam Posted January 23, 2002 Author Posted January 23, 2002 I actually do like a number of people on this board. Let's draw up the battle lines and go to war fellas. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I do battle with Lambone. I tried to be friendly multiple times but homey keeps stepping on my shoes. Alex constantly trying to correct me when I need none. Insults me by using my name as a threatener to homeys that asked for the death threats Chongo I like that name and am jealous. I want that as my 50th avatar. Max for targeting me when I never even talk about him. Max can kiss it. DanE for targeting me as well. It is obvious he has to disagree with me even when I am trying to be friendly. Dru he keeps trying to catch me Philfart because he has the Beckey signature and I dont! Trask because he sprays better than me. Quote
allthumbs Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I have a pressing Colorado related question.

z Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 We just tend to be more agrro from birth. Alex do we need to talk again? Quote
