The onion is the only news I read/watch. How else would we know that multiple stab wounds are harmful to monkeys? and that babies refuse to protect themselves from the wolves, rain, dehydration, etc....babies are stupid.

Honestly, how does this thread go on for 6 pages when everything that needed to be said was said in the first 3 posts?

I would assume it's the quote from Anchor Man. That still doesn't explain the mystery of how this thread is still going after 6 pages.

This had better not be a new kind of PC++, because there is a guy on here who might read this and fly in to some sort of rage. It really upsets him. Oh yeah, I still think the atc sport is a bad idea.

At the grocery store they sell lowfat buttermilk. For some reason it reminded me of the ATC sport.

That's just the kind of shit that keeps people from posting to informative threads like these.

Yea, or just a sport crag with ethics prohibiting wear (top roping through, lowering through) on the fixed anchors. Have fun. Post pictures of your soiled unmentionables.

Holy shit a minute! I don't have time to climb a route AND take a minute to clean the thing! But seriously, do you microwave your pop-tarts or do you take the time to toast them?

Do you take the long way home from work every day? Why spend the same amount of money on something that complicates your setup, adds weight of the extra locker AND adds time to your procedure? It's entirely illogical if you ever plan on leaving the gym.
