So no mod sent you a notice about moving the thread? Excellent. I don't want to jump on anybody and start slamming mods (Andrew usually does a fine job for the aid forum), but haven't we had a number of threads discussing this exact issue? Hasn't there been universal agreement that mods should a). Notify the original poster (via PM) of the thread and indicate (briefly) why it was moved, and b). Indicate who move it and when with a brief message in the thread when it was moved.
I mean, why not give us an avenue to communicate directly with the person who moved the thread, rather than have us bitch and gripe publically in the forum? I'd rather have a PM discussion with a mod and eventually agree to disagree than post this crap for everyone to see. That being said, it's not my thread but one of mine was moved recently -- likely for similar reasons.
I'm just suggesting a little communication, mods.

The mod who moved it did PM me(after the fact) which I greatly appreciate. I do agree with the move...this probably didn't belong in the aid forum.

Cool. I don't agree with the move, but the communication issue is much more important to me than the actual location of the thread. Glad to hear about the notice, and nice job to the mod.
Now can we get back to this shoe thread?

Arghhhh !!! Don't make it a shoe thread, then I'll have to move it to Gear Heads, or worse split it into TR (FB&TR), flame (Comm.), and shoe thread (GH), then send PMs to too many users.
I only have but one life on this planet, and the time it would take to do that would require reincarnation. :wink:

RRRadam: you do a great job, but perhaps this whole discussion could be ended by giving Pete his own forum. You know, like the "ladies area" kind of thing. That way, an area thread which becomes an aid post that turns into a nasty flame war, then shoe thread and then finally a PTPP flame war would start out right at home. Those who want to "exclusively bash" Pete would finally have their own forum.
Now, I should not say too much about anything since I just re-read my previous post and realize I can't even spell "hte" correctly. Sh*t, there it is again.
I'll shut up. I like hearing about the valley BTW, in case anybody is interested. I have a wife, kids, house, business, you know: the "whole disaster" and have to pass on the annual pilgramage to Mecca and live vicariously through those who can go.
Sometimes I feel like the Banger sister who when straight. Sucks.
Now don't go and move this to the "whiner's and complainers" forum now I'll stop. I don't have anything bad to say about anybody, even Pete, so talk about boring, eh? Maybe I should make something up about Pete and the Donkeys over at the stables so I can fit in here? Hmmm. I'll have to think about it.
Regards to all:
Bill

:lol: Every climber(I'm talking about men here) that's been to the valley knows that you only have a couple of chances to get some in the valley.
#1- Bring the meat(ie- a girlfriend)
#2- Meet the climbing girlfriend of your dreams(highly unlikely!)
#3-Tourist chicks at the mountain room(goodluck dirtbag!)
#4-The donkey's over at the stables(this is your best bet!) :shock:
So does anybody know the best climbing area to meet chicks??

ahem.
Are you blind? The females that work there (800 in summer, 400 in winter) are DYING to hook up with he-man studly climbers! Problem is, most of the climbers are wall rats; fat smelly drunks with the social skills and breath of coyotes who could'nt get laid with a $1000 bill. Look at those old pictures of Huber freeing the Salathe back in 95. That's Melinda the barmaid down there at the belays. THAT'S how a player does it.

Sigh. I wasn't kidding. I realize that I am not supposed to say this, as you guys will now all say I'm a b*tch and that I don't have a sense of humor, but it really is sexist and unpleasant to be referred to as "meat."
Anyway, flamer, flame on.

Flamer may be sexist, but who cares! He's FUNNY! :lol:

This had me laughing... it just slides off the tongue, "Bring the meat." What a great way to put it.

Don't get offended by this sorta stuff - there is so much out there that is much worse to get offended by. Anyway, "meat" couldn't possibly refer to a climbing girlfriend, it's just a girl filling the need. A climbing girlfriend that does walls - why, you are are like the unattainable golden ring!

I'm with Valygrl. Not many of you would think of using the 'N' word in the company of African American people and then suggesting that they keep their sense of humor b/c you were talking about some subgroup? :roll: And if someone did suggest such tripe, it would be in the archives within minutes.
Here's my tip for getting dates in the Valley...
1. Don't refer to women as "meat".
2. Be nice.
3. Climb hard.
If you can handle 1, 2, &3, I for one wouldn't care about BO or coyote breath. Chances are, you'd have to deal with mine.

God damn! I'm a retard!!! I didn't even realise that valygrl was talking about the "meat" comment! I thought she was talking about the whole statement!!!
I guess I figured the meat comment was so out there it couldn't be thought of as sexist!! Funny funny!
Sometimes I stir the pot when I don't even mean to!!

Damn it! How about if we try hard to climb hard? Does that count for something? Aren't there any women out there who are impressed by a guy who on-sites 5.6 any crag, anywhere? How about gear? Lots of gear has to count for something, doesn't it? It certainly helps compensate for a small Johnson.
Oh well, back to the drawing board...

Actually, Ed, I think the only one that ultimately matters is 2.
Since you're definatley a #2, I've you haven't met her yet, I'm sure you will. :wink:

On the other hand, if you are a woman and you are looking for a particularly immature male for a one-night stand with absolutely no strings attached, referring that male as your "meat" might actually get you somewhere. Unfortunately you will likely regret having gone there in the morning, so Dr. Coyote does not recommend this practice. And besides, getting a guy is about the easiest thing in the world to do. But finding one worth being with is a whole 'nother topic.

Yeah, there's lots of worse stuff on this site and out in the real world to get offended by. I get p-o'd about it all the time, I guess I just clicked the submit button on my reply this time, instead of cancelling it like I usually do. I wasn't really directing this at flamer in particular - I'm surprised that Lynn defends it, though. Melissa, thanks for the support.
My sense of humor may in fact be impaired after spending the last 3 days straight in the cardiac ICU at my dad's bedside. Yuck.
Cheers, beers, and... what was that other thing?

Wash your hands then retire to your tent. Wash hands again when done. Voila. Hope this helps.
