you also might be him if you are a really nice person

:D

Boy! Does he have you fooled! :lol:

I love Canadians.

A whole country full of comedians!

yea but think of how easy it is to check on sellers on here.. hey brent.. how's ___? yea i bought 18 things from him.. he's good ;)

You land on BD Cams.. Brent_E owns this with 10 hotels.

Brent

If you refer to your gear as "Frankin Rack", you might be a brent_e.

:lol:

Bastards.....


thanks, kimmy!!! At least i've got ONE person on my side. You're my new best friend.


chossmonger,
I was thinking about getting you some neutrinos as a wedding gift....but you may just get poootrinos, now.


I hope you choke.

Brent

UGLY. but it works!

Doesn't sound like the reply you would expect from a really nice guy. :lol:

If you claim that your rack works but you've never actually got to try it, you might be a brent_e.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

just uped that % but I am too damn lazy to figure out by how much.

it's one word, dinkis. frankenrack. But yeah, it's true, it's a mess.
metolius (1 + 2), rockempire (#1??), DMM (3/4-2), wildcountry(forged, 11/4 -4), CCH(black). UGLY. but it works!


:D


Brent

That's how I roll.

Four BDs, seven metolius, two aliens, five trangos, and a partridge in a pair tree.

i knew i wasn't alone!

what number partridge do you have? OW??? Fist size? slung on dyneema, obviously???



Brent

Brent, Brent, Brent.

You silly fool, you can't sling a partridge!

Well you could, but they are pretty hard to keep slung, let alone keep in place. They are far to soft anyway. Any slung partridge will be marginal at best.

You need to sling the pair tree.




Back on topic. How many people have a mismatched set of nuts?

Do your nuts hang a little lopsided Brent? :lol:

as you're new to aid, i know that you haven't heard of the partridgehead. You have to paste it in a smaller crack with a hammer, Nate. They wiggle a little bit at first, but after you start wacking them in there, they don't move so much and are bomber. Chouinard fixed, like, 6 partridges on el cap.

The think aboug pear trees is they take a long time to set. approx 11 years. You need to sling the seed really long, then wait a while.

and yes, my nuts are lopsided, but they still work fine, thank you very much. (actually, i do have a full set of one brand - trangos - just so you know!).

You don't even have a set of matching aiders! :lol:

You obviously have partridgeheads confused with beaks, which are similar but none the less couldn't be more different. If you used a partridge head in that situation, "paste" would only begin to describe the mess.

You just need to get them started before you even get on the route. Just make sure to keep the roots moist or they won't grab as well when they are set.

I find they are much easier to deal with and far more reliable than partridge can be.

It's good to know you do have a full set of nuts, even though they are lopsided. :lol:

touche. BUT, you don't have any scream aids!!! what self respecting aid climber doesn't have scream aids???

when all the blood dries up, they stick like nobodies business. unless a marmot comes and eats them, of course

I dunno, man. what would you rather do; wait for a tree to grow or run it out over a partridgehead?

they are all lopsided, when you think about it...you have micros on one side (well, you have micros on both side...whole 'nuter story) and then you have your larger nuts on the other. sometimes you keep them on different biners....but let's not get into that.

What are you talking about? I have three of them sitting right here. :P

Besides, what aid climbers have any self respect to begin with? After all they are aid climbers.

Miracle Grow

It really doesn't take that long. You can depump, eat lunch, take a nap, look at the topo, then have confidence when you are running it out above. Not to mention the pears you can eat while waiting!

I'll freely admit I have a big set of small nuts.

I try and keep my nuts from getting lopsided. I generally have a double set of the smaller sizes and a single set of the bigger nuts.

Everyone knows it generally takes a bigger set of smaller nuts to do harder routes.

Have you ever lead a sport route on gear? VVVVV

crazy nate

You practice good Kung Fu Grasshopper.


Now if I could only figure out how you ad posts so quick. :?

:lol:

well, to be honest, i've been working on my posting speed of the last couple months. I figure that if i use mozilla and keep a couple tabs open, i can refresh one with "my topics" and post up quick replies there while i browse the frontpage or other articles with another tab.

and it's easy to the do the "crazy nate" thing....just hover on "url" and it will give you the beta.

and yes, my kung fu is leagues ahead of yours.

8^)

Brent

I figured out the link part already. I just don't think I want to commit the time to be as good at posting.

Your style of Kung Fu is admirable, but is not the Kung Fu to end all others.

You might be a Brent_e if you're a damn canada who's secretly in love with a Texan cowboy who will NEVER love you back.


:lol:

Geez, will you guys have a blessed day already?

:P

It's kinda funny. Did she say "blest" or "bless-ed" ??

What the heck is this thread about? Canadians who employ ....Kung fu ....with lop-sided nuts ....to get a bit'a lovin' from Texans..... hmmmm :P

You're an inventor, right Brent? What does the "e" stand for anyway?

Being the team player I am, I'll surely trade Brent's frozen toes for some good ice. :lol:

If half the posts in the "Buyer/ Seller Feedback" forum are by you, you might be brent_e.

And we did have a blessed day, well kinda, more of a weekend than a day.

Blessed for who! I was told I was going to have to go back to work in Canada that afternoon, and then I dented the front panel of my car from slidding into the guard rail the next morning (while you were harping at me to pull over so you could have a better look at the ice next to the road).

Fun weekend, sure. Blessed.....not bloody likely!

:drama:

Yeah and you like what you are doing now better than what you were doing before.

And I wasn't harping at you to pull over. I was harping at you to SLOW down before you pulled over.

Sheese, never let a woman drive! :lol:



Maybe I'm just a positive thinker. :lol: But all in all that was a pretty good weekend, things could have been far worse.

You forgot about work. The damage done to your car was quite minor. And in the end Brent's toes are probably okay.

Not to mention, Brent got his first free screw. :shock: :lol: An I got to buy my first pair of $80 mittens!

She said "Have a blessed day.".


Brent was just like, :wtf:?

I don't think he quite picked up on what she was saying at first. It came sorta out of no where.

I was worried she was Jehovah's Witness or something. We almost had the car packed ready to go climb some ice in the Dacks, the last thing we needed was this woman trying to witness to us.

It had been a bad year for ice and we were chomping at the bit to get going. Lucky for her she just kept on walking. Blessing my day as she went by. Brent was reaching for his ice tool and I think he was going to plant it right between her eyes if she would have stopped and held us up.

I proceeded to the car with the last of the stuff and told Brent "Have a blessed day." We jumped in the car, Granite_Grrl looking at us like we are from another planet and we drove off into the night.

And we did have a blessed day, well kinda, more of a weekend than a day. We froze our asses off in the Dacks. Poor Brent froze his toes. But we got in a lot of good climbing. Being the team player I am, I'll surely trade Brent's frozen toes for some good ice. :lol:

You guys just made my morning. Was that in St.Kitts that you nearly got witnessed or in the Buff Zone?
As for the good ice, it's still here in the Rockies. I may go for a quick solo in K-Country tomorrow before work. The weekend should be great weather for rock but ..... ahh, think I'll head up the icefields parkway for more ice.

I'll give you guys a heads up, I want to head back to Ontario for Christmas this year with the ulterior motive being a trip to the Daks. I'll introduce you to the Bivvy if you're still around those parts. On the other hand, if you head out to Calgary before then, you'll be on ice a lot sooner :wink:

Anyway I'm done raising the CanCon for now so "Have a blessed day".

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Grant, you suck!!! :lol: Climbing ice still, and then telling us about it! Have you no decency?

So what time can you pick me up at the airport? :D I can get my ice gear together pretty quick, and if I leave while the Wife is at work she'll be powerless to stop me! :twisted: Bwahahahahaha!

By the way, you were supposed to flame Brent. :roll:

Nope, not a decent bone in the rack. Just a few lonely nuts. :boring:
As for the airport, I live 10-15 mins from Calgary's arrival curb. Call me. I actually have a guy in NZ waiting standby for a flight. Maybe I can make it a double pickup. :)

You might be a Brent_e if you knew Darkside had been playing on the coldside all winter. :P

Oh hey Brent, there you are :righton:

Hmmmm?

Brent's been awfully quite today.


Maybe he finally got carpel tunnel from all that typing. I tried to warn him. Poor kid tried getting too many posts too fast and musta blew something out. What a waste! He had potential. :cry:

If you go slammin' the salmon with your dad, you might be a Brent_E.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

you might be a brent_e if you trade your buddy defective picks for a reverso (hopefully not defective).

The Reverso should be fine. I didn't use it very much. Besides, I think the one I bent was the one for all the food I bought for you when we went to the Daks.

We don't know if the pick was defective yet or not either. Maybe I'm just too strong. :robert:

i read the manual last night for the reverso. looks cool. So you're saying i still owe you money??? Even though i threw you a couple scream aids?!?! EVER THOUGH!!!! :D

it's likely not defective. you likely had it torqued off angle a bit and manked it, like i did with my pick. But hey, at least it wasn't a B-rated.....that thing would be trashed if you did the same move, i'm sure.

You would almost think you should break the pick rather than bend it though. I could be wrong. I'll ask James.

it's the same steel, though. So if one bends, the other should just bend easier because of the thickness.


if you straighten the pick that you manked, it will likely break next time. You've work hardened the spot that you bent back, and made it brittle.

I would think either would break. T-Rated should be harder to break because it is thicker.

I would think it would be more likely to bend again, then break off from metal fatigue.

We better be careful. Phaedrus might move this into Gear Heads. :lol:


If you act like a cheeky monkey, you might be a brent_e.

There that should keep this out of Gear Heads

yeah, it'll fatigue, break, you're tycho, die, and it'll all be over.

Good job on the test. Now if only your posts made sense.

Say, where is this "Bufferzone?" Is it sweet, or does it suck?

You fellas have a nice little chat thread going here.

Say, where is this "Bufferzone?" Is it sweet, or does it suck?

I don't know how easy it is to spot weld to something so thick. It might be easier to tig weld a plate on top, a la trango. I might be able to figure out how to heat treat them, too.

what's a "bridge"???

i'll weld up some drytool picks.......100 dollar....

I don't know either. I just come up with the idea, its up to you to make it work.

I should have been an architect. :lol:

A card game.

100 CAN? That would be about $1.50 US, right? :lol:

I should have held those Grivel screws hostage. Man, I really screwed that one up. :?

you'd be the van gogh of architects.

100 CAN? That would be about $1.50 US, right? :lol:

I should have held those Grivel screws hostage. Man, I really screwed that one up. :?

you missed the 8. 81.5US, yes.

and yeah, you really messed up on that one. 5 brand new screws, sitting in your house! :lol: What were you thinking???

I'm not about to cut off my ear and send it to Rebecca.

No, I don't think I did.

It would probably be more than 81.50 now. The US dollar has been slipping.

I'll have my chance again.

Besides, if I don't put up routes for you, how are you supposed to practice your drytooling?

I used about $20 worth of hardware the other day just so you could have something to aspire to. :robert:

Now you want to charge me $100 to modify some picks? :?

Where is the love man? :cry:

we'll make the drop

You might be a brent_e if you're too busy playing with lop-sided nuts to get in gear and get a Gunks climbing trip together!!!

You silly Canadians! I'm still waiting!!! Off of Exit #41 on the NYS Thruway, you'll find a Petro gas station with an Iron Skillet Restuarant. Find a dark booth in the back and I'll meet you there and we'll make the drop- then off to the Gunks!!!! MAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :twisted:

This is code right? You don't want his gf to know. Brent you are a very very bad man. ;-)

All right you jerks, where is this damned Bufferzone. Is it where you live if you might be a 'chossmonkey?'

81.50 is about 98 bucks if the US dollar is at 1.20 cad. I don't know what it's at. I see it as everything in the states being on sale! :lol:

yeah, you'll have a chance. you'll have a couple (yes, a couple) purple TCU's at your place sometime soon.

I'll give you some cash for the hardware.

or i'll belay you on all of your projects! :lol:

the bufferzone is everywhere, and it's nowhere. it's the place you don't want to be, but can't escape. it's black and white. it's heavy lightness and serious vanity. it's near niagara falls. get a damn map.

Brent 8^)

I think it was $1 US = $1.16 CAN the other day.

I remember back in the hayday when I could get any thing shipped from MEC and it was $1 US = $1.50 CAN. On top of that a lot of stuff was cheaper in CAN$ than US$.

Yeah, I forgot to add that TCU I broke into the price.

Lucky for me there is a replacement on the way. :D

You don't have any money to give. A belay slave would be good, but that isn't happening either.

All I really wanted were some mods done to that set of picks.

They even wrote a song about the "Bufferzone"

"On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Bufferzone..."

you said you had exams to do you mumpy.

and i don't know if i like the sounds of the "dark booth" thing. :shock:
what do you have planned for me???


Brent

I ain't got any of *those* kind of plans. I was was presuming that you would be with granite_grrl and chossmonkey, so I'd met the 3 of you in a dark booth in the back.

That's the spirit! :D


Um, CB, he has a girlfriend already.


Um,.... hold on a sec..........


Hey Brent she ice climbs!!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And you might be a "brent e" if you won't sell me a cinch for a lowball price. :P

I was was presuming that you would be with granite_grrl and chossmonkey, so I'd met the 3 of you in a dark booth in the back.

Edited to say: Granite_Grrl- if Mr. Wanker (aka "Brent-e") won't take a weekend off to go climbing in the Gunks, my ex and I are back together, so barring he doesn't have to work on any given weekend, he can meet us in the Gunks. FWIW

If you assume all the ladies want you and they really don't, you might be a brent_e :boring:

Kinky. :D

You might be a brent_e if you're a complete tard :roll:

You might be a brent_e if you're a complete tard :roll:

Kinky. :D

Oh calm down now. I dated a Canadian once before- and vowed never to do so again.

my SO is Significant! I like her. I think i'll keep her (if she lets me).

Mrrrrroooow!



Now just how dark is this booth? I really have no desire to see Brent's hairy ass. :shock:<---- Should be a puking smiley.

Pretty disappointing aren't they?

There is a reason Granite_Grrl married an American, and it wasn't to immigrate.

I've heard that it has something to do with the long cold winters they have in Canada. The extended cold during puberty leads to permanent shrinkage or something.

How significant can she be if you don't even know if she'll keep you? Truthfully I have a hard time trusting someone who doesn't climb ice. :twisted:

don't you think we would split up in pairs somehow, Nate??? :shock: Like, maybe, you shouldn't have to look at my hairy ass, cuz you would be with your wife??? Do you have a crush on me?????

it's not the size of the banana that counts, it's what kind of curve it has in it.

good one, Nate. She's fairly significant. We've actually talked about "the thing that is not to be mentioned too soon else to freak her and me out a bit."

And I think i'm stuck with her! (thankfully, she is a good woman who i find very attractive so we're good).

maybe next year we can try some ice?! :lol:

note to self: don't get on climbingbetty's bad side! :lol:


we still good for late may, CB???? or am i banished from your life???


banished


Brent

Now if we split up how would that be kinky? Group of 4=kinky. My wife and I, well okay, I guess it can still get pretty kinky. :oops: But that's not the point. :roll:


If your idea of kinky sex is something other than Missionary, you might be a Brent_E. :lol:



That's just what women tell guys with small bananas, as to not hurt there feelings.

Honestly why would CB be so turned off by Canadian men and GG had to find someone out of the country?

I'd say its likely the Canadians they knew didn't know how to use their small banana. Not to say you are in the same banana boat as every Canadian man. It was just a generalization.



What? You are merging racks? :shock:

I don't think Rebecca and I have really fully worked out the merger of our racks. That is why it is important I get a new #0 TCU soon to replace the one I broke of Rebecca's.



Is she pregnant?

It takes more than being a good person and good looks to make things work out long term.

You need to have common life goals and plans.


Dude, you'll be doing good for YOUto get out and do some ice next year. :lol:

Banished? No! Just cuz I raz you a bit doesn't mean I'm never gonna climb with you!


If you're skin in thinner my 90 year-old grandma's, you might be a brent_e :boring:

and how's the 96 for kinky positions? it's where you lay back to back and fart on each others heads.

:lol:

WOW! I think that one would be past the line for me.

if you think the 96 is awesome, you might be a "brent_e"

:lol:

Aha! Is it Buffalo?

I used to date a girl from Buffalo! :shock:
