...if you spend time on an internet forum worrying about who is and who isn't a poseur.

Hey, gimme a brake, it was shitty weather today. I have 100's of climbs within two miles of my house in each direction. Trust me, I'de rather actually be climbing, instead of sitting here watching you (the pot) calling me (the kettle) black!

Can't we just start a twelve step or something like Poseur's Anonymous?

"Hi everybody. My name is aclepius, and..., and.... I am a Poseur."
"I just don't know what happened!?! It just got so out of control!' sniff, "I mean all of the glossy TNF gear, the P'rana pants. First it was just the shorts for bouldering, then Man-pris for gear routes. My Poseur-dom just escaladed unitl I was wearing CarrHarts and Mountain Masters at Star*ucks while headed to the gym on a 70 degree, clear, and sunny day."

-You stand around yelling "Allez" at boulderers ... in the gym... in Texas.
(that was in honor of my favorite poseur on this site)

-You eat ham sammies... with the crusts cut off.

-You are sure to tell everybody about your good friend 'bongo' who totally lives on a wall in Yellowstone.

--You spend more than a minute rolling your climbing specific pants up into the gym-couture, man-pri look

--You commonly use the term "man-pri"

--You use the term "couture"

--You place gear before the first bolt on routes that aren't mixed gear

--You record ascents on the routes database of routes you more accurately aided up just so you look more core

--Your username is zeke_sf, and you are, therefore, guilty of all above poseur-specific behavior

You think that the term "full suspension" refers to a disciplinary action.

Darn, guess that means I'm a poseur :lol: , BUT I am climbing so that should count at least a little bit.

"wannabe"? nah, you've fully arrived at that point :) I wish I could afford a Hummer. actually, I wish I could just afford the cost of gas because that would mean I could afford whatever the hell else I want.

Hummer H2's are not just for poseurs, you have to be a punter to own one aswell. Add 100 points to the punter score if you are also from Texas.

Oh man, it's not just that it's a Hummer. I mean a beat up old surplus original Hummer I might be able to admire (Might... if beat up!). But man H2, the clean light rack, lack of privious mud on the roof, the roof rack (too shiny), and the fact that the spare has a tire cover.....
That's not just poser and yuppie.... that's LAME! :lol:

You might be...
...If you buy clothes just because they're made by a climbing company

...If you climb in the gym and think you're HARDCORE because you lead 5.10 in the gym

...If you use the word HARDCORE more then 3x a day to describ yourself or what you do

-You've been dirtbagging "for a week dude"...and still smell like soap.

-You know the names of all the first ascentionst, route names, and beta for Indian Creek and have never been there.

-You post on the backcountry board at JT that you are looking for a partner to climb Figures on a Landscape and then hide in your tent all day so everyone thinks you already left. That night you strut around HVCG talking about how epic it was.

-You and your friends keep speed records of all the hard 5.2s you've done.

-You and your friends know all the Yosem speed records...and have never been.

-You talk about Chamonix like you were a Frenchman.

-You stopped brushing your teeth so when you pull up at the world class crag, you smell like you're a Frenchman.

-You (poseur) detest all the fucking poseurs.......
