DMT You remember "climbing" this is a "thread" about "climbing.' Not getting the joke? Apparently YOU aren't getting the joke.  Dingus did. "Remember Alice? This is a song about Alice." (Altered only slightly to fit the thread.)  Ah, sorry 'bout that. Didn't quite get the connection at first. Well here's one for ya: When somebody says that you HAVE to fix the roof this weekend and can't go climbing you "wanna kill...Kill...KILL!" Pleast note that this is NOT a threat. Listen to Alice's Restaurant by Arlo guthrie and then you will understand half of these posts.
And the Sargent came in, and we were all jumping up and down saying kill... Kill... KILL!!

When you keep hanging around this thread even though you haven't climbed in so long that you really have nothing to add...

Guilty as charged.
Oh, and it seems that there is a bit of an inside, reoccuring joke on this thread.
You know you are obsessed with climbing when...
You take a half a ton of climbing gear, put it in the back of a red VW
microbus, take biners and chalk and implements of destruction and headed
on toward the local crag.
Well you got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the
gate saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And you had never heard of a crag
closed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in your eyes you drove off
into the sunset looking for another place to climb.
You didn't find one. Until you came to a side road, and off the side of the
side road there was another 50 foot cliff so you decide to climb there.

Our gym doesn't open til 12 during the week, 10 on weekends. They need to open by 9 at least.
I work at a gym that opens at 6am and we have this problem too.
and you're not really obsessed with climbing until you quit your job and buy a van

Here's another - when you eat shit and drive a rust-mobile but insist on paying extra to have the best climbing gear.

Did I hear Curt come in? does he drive a beemer, eat $20 steak and climb exclusively on bd? If so, I'm not sure he qualifies as a trad climber.
I'd say that he's pretty much a badass, btw.

But he mostly boulders anymore. Boulders harder than me, when he forgets his shoes and has to buy a new pair.

This just in-
You know you're a dirtbag climber when roadbikers riding by comment on your filthyness.
When push-starting your friend's POS car (no offense, jmenzies, but it IS a POS) becomes a casual experiance.
When considering where to park and what shops you can go to, push-starting considerations must be made.
When you look foreward to "gourmet dinner night" all week, which consists of two tins of chef-boy-ardee ravioli and some parm.

When during the break up argument with your was girlfriend one of your retorts is "oh yeah, well you're a shitty belayer and I'd rather solo than have you as my partner!"
