YOUR ETHOS

YOUR PATHOS

YOUR PORTHOS

YOUR ARAMIS

YOUR BRUT COLOGNE

YOU'RE WRITING HOME

YOU ARE HOPELESS

YOUR HOPELESSNESS

IS RISING AROUND YOU, RISING AROUND YOU

YOU LIKE IT

IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO DO

IN THE DAY TIME

 

HEY BUDDY, YOU NEED A HOBBY

YOU ARE TIRED OF MOVING FORWARD

YOU THINK OF THE FUTURE

AND SECRETLY YOU PIDDLE YOUR PANTS

THE PUDDLE OF PIDDLE

WHICH USED TO BE LITTLE

IS RISING AROUND YOU, RISING AROUND YOU

YOU LIKE IT

IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO DO

IN THE NIGHT TIME

 

WELL, YOU TRAVEL TO BARS

YOU ALSO GO TO WINCHELL'S DOUGHNUTS

AND HANG OUT WITH THE HIGHWAY PATROL

SOMETIMES YOU'LL GO TO A PIZZA PLACE

YOU GO TO SHAKEY'S TO GET THAT

AMERICAN KIND OF PIZZA

THAT HAS THE UGLY, WAXEY, FAKE YELLOW KIND

OF CHEESE ON THE TOP...

THEN YOU GO TO STRAW HAT PIZZA,

TO GET ALL THOSE ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS

THAT NEVER BELONGED ON A PIZZA IN THE FIRST PLACE

(BUT THE WHITE PEOPLE REALLY LIKE IT...)

OH WELL, YOU'LL GO ANYPLACE, YOU'LL DO ANYTHING

OH YOU'LL GIVE ME YOUR UNDERPANTS

I HOPE THESE AREN'T YOURS, BUDDY...

THEY'RE VERY NICE, THOUGH

YOU GO TO SANTA MONICA BOULEVARD,

YOU GO TO THE BLUE PARROT

NO PROBLEM, YOU'LL GO ANYPLACE

YOU'LL DO ANYTHING

JUST SO YOU CAN HANG OUT WITH THE OTHERS

THE OTHERS JUST LIKE YOU

AFRAID OF THE FUTURE

(DEATH VALLEY DAYS, STRAIGHT AHEAD)

THE FUTURE IS SCARY

YES IT SURE IS

WELL, THE PUDDLE IS RISING

IT SMELLS LIKE THE OCEAN

A BODY OF WATER TO ISOLATE ENGLAND

AND ALSO RESEDA

THE OIL, IN PATCHES

ALL OVER ATLANTIS, ATLANTIS

YOU REMEMBER ATLANTIS

DONOVAN, THE GUY WITH THE BROCADE COAT,

USED TO SING TO YOU ABOUT ATLANTIS

YOU LOVED IT, YOU WERE SO INVOLVED THEN

THAT'S BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN YOU USED TO

SMOKE A BANANA

YOU WOULD SCRAPE THE STUFF OFF THE MIDDLE

YOU WOULD SMOKE IT

YOU EVEN THOUGHT YOU WAS GETTING RIPPED FROM IT

NO PROBLEM

AH! ATLANTIS, THEY COULD REALLY GET DOWN THERE

THE PLANKTON, THE KRILL

THE GIANT UNDERWATER PYRAMID, THE SQUID DECOR

EXCUSE ME, TODD

THE BIG OL' GIANT UNDERWATER DOOR

THE DOME, THE BUBBLES, THE BLUE LIGHT

LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT

BLUE LIGHT BLUE LIGHT

THE SEEPAGE, THE SEWAGE, THE RUBBERS, THE NAPKINS

YOUR ETHOS, YOUR PATHOS,

YOUR FLAG HOLE, YOUR PORT-HOLE

YOUR LANGUAGE

YOU'RE FRIGHTENED

THE FUTURE

YOU CAN'T EVEN SPEAK YOUR OWN F*%$ING LANGUAGE

YOU CAN'T READ IT ANYMORE

YOU CAN'T WRITE IT ANYMORE

YOUR LANGUAGE

THE FUTURE OF YOUR LANGUAGE

YOUR MEAT LOAF

DON'T LET YOUR MEAT LOAF

HEH, HEH, HEH

YOUR MICRO-NANETTE

YOUR BRUT

COLOGNE

I dunno Dwayner, I guess I don't see the connection, but then again I wasn't listening to the song whilst stoking the angst. It certainly seems like he's singing about people your and my age, and being afraid of the future is more a trad-only thing than a sporto obsession. I'm not trying to wax your beard buddy, I just don't get it...

ohhh speaking of which, my dad got to attend a motivational seminar conducted by the one and only big Jim.

 

apparently there is autograhped copy of his autobio made out to yours truly. i will cherish it.

I was practicing the ancient art of automatic writing: my fingers move and something is written. Perhaps I'm worried about the future of my language. Being a moral relativist, you have my permission for it to mean whatever you want.

jesus dwayner... that was, well, nothing short of strange and stupid.

 

disconnect from the internet, shut off your monitor, crack open a cold mickey's and do something else for a while, my friend. [Razz] that radiation from the glowing screen must be scrambling your brain cells!

No, he's actually pretty easily understood and straightforward. Uptight egotistical anachronism with unchecked spray problem.

 

You just weren't looking at the situation from the right perspective. Dr. Flash Amazing faces E/SE, which is a fine perspective for seeing things as they really are. Give it a shot, you'll see.

I enjoyed Dwayner's post although it was a little long. The connection is there: The young Dave Grohl fears life and craves attention and a place to belong. Sport climbing is a soft option to solving his problems. There are few big dangers, no approaches or real work involved, but you still get something to do on your days off and you can be a part of the "climbing community". He buys a membership at a gym, goes to Vantage or the Exits on the weekend and is born again,...until he sees Dwayner's post on his favorite online site.

I give it a 5.10b for art/spoken word on an internet site.

The connection between Dwayner's offering and unSPORTing CLIMBING is not as tenuous as some of you suggest. If I'm not mistaking, the first photo is Christian Griffith as he appeared in his high school annual. The drivel that follows is the unabridged version of his "sport climbers' manifesto".

Posted

Ahh, the wise Pope steps out of the mists to solve all important mysteries, if I'm not mistaking.

 

That's a pretty sick (in a bad, non-bouldering sense) manifesto for climbing.

Posted

Get a life Whiner. You too Poop. You're hardly succeeding in reducing the numbers of sport climbers, although you may successfully scare away some kids who might otherwise use the board to carry out some fun conversations about sport routes and stuff.

 

There is nothing wrong with sportos. If you don't want to sport climb, then go ahead and don't sport climb. Just leave the rest of us alone to make our own choices for crying out loud.

I'd like to become more involved in sport fucking. Is this the right bbs?

Well, sport climbing is like masturbating... you don't really need to worry about protection, but you miss out on such foreplay as the bushwhack.

Posted

what's foreplay? is that a golf term? [laf]

 

is this forplay?

There is jolly good bushwhacking right next to many WA sport climbing areas. Feel free to hop right in. Or you can do like a buddy of yours who bushwhacks through Ravenna Park on the way to school, apparently for fun.

So my annoying posts are going to scare the kids away????? Not the rampant comments about equine reproductive organs, flame wars crossing the line from cruel to heartless, vulgar jokes you'd be embarrased to tell in a bar??? Get real, amigo!

 

"There is nothing wrong with sportos. If you don't want to sport climb, then go ahead and don't sport climb."

 

I'll TRY not to.

Dude! Who is stopping you from making choices or doing anything else? What! You wish to stifle my free-expression; my right to share my opinion? Leave "us" alone? How 'bout this....if you don't want to read my drivel, then when you see "Dwayner" as the author of the post, scroll on by.

 

Rock on, Icelandic brother!

So it seems that it's OK to be a sport climber if you are from an exotic place.

 

Dwayner. I'm from Puyallup, though I was born in boring old Seattle.

 

Puyallup has been mispronounced by many famous people.

 

Does that count?
