In reply to: 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: 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$.
In reply to: 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: 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.

In reply to: In reply to: All right you jerks, where is this damned Bufferzone. Is it where you live if you might be a 'chossmonkey?' 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^) 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..."

In reply to: 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!!! That's the spirit! :D
In reply to: 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!!!! Um, CB, he has a girlfriend already. Um,.... hold on a sec.......... Hey Brent she ice climbs!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

On top of that a lot of stuff was cheaper in CAN$ than US$. Yeah, those days sucked for us. Actually, I think as a whole the bad american dollar is not good for canada. I think it messes up some of the trade. But i'm no economist! :D Some things, like gas, are still cheaper for canadians even with the exchange rate.
In reply to: 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. ha! i don'tk now why i got both purples. I think it's cuz one was in great shape and 25 bucks shipped. the other was 30, or something. really cheap for me. And I like tcu's! nope, not much money, and not much climbing. I can likely do the mods to your picks. I don't know what to weld onto them, though. Stainless/chromoly/some other high carbon steel. I don't really have cromoly that I could use (we have some for the racecar....but i can't really steal that!). Got lots of stainless, but it's soft, which actually might be better - more bite in the rock. to keep the spirit of this thread. You might be a brent_e if you had a negative balance in your bank account to pay for a new pack. Brent

I wash my hands of your bufferzone. And you might be a "brent e" if you won't sell me a cinch for a lowball price. :P

In reply to: All right you jerks, where is this damned Bufferzone. Is it where you live if you might be a 'chossmonkey?' I was a chossmonkey long before being damned to the Bufferzone. There is a lot of good choss only 15 miles away, but its highly illegal.

Welcome to the Bufferzone..." No desert. More tollways than highways. That warm smell ain't colitas, and no I didn't shit myself. It is the petrochemical processing plants up wind. It certainly isn't Heaven, I think it must be Hell. Hopefully I can leave! :shock:

MAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :twisted: Ah Betty, you have all these Canadians asking to climb at the Gunks with you, and then we dissapear for a while. Still want to head down there sometime with you, talked with Brent and he's keen too (if he'll ever take a full weekend off). We'll just get Mr. Monkey on board and pick you up on the way (hopfully we'll all fit in my car!).

MAWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :twisted: 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 Oh calm down now. I dated a Canadian once before- and vowed never to do so again. 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. And I do have exams, now, but next month in May, which isn't that far away I will be back, exam free and ready to play!!! Better get on the calendar soon, my schedule fills up fast! 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 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.
In reply to: Oh calm down now. I dated a Canadian once before- and vowed never to do so again. 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. :lol:
In reply to: my SO is Significant! I like her. I think i'll keep her (if she lets me). 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:

I really have no desire to see Brent's hairy ass. :shock:<---- Should be a puking smiley. 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?????

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: Brent

Do you have a crush on me????? 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:
In reply to: it's not the size of the banana that counts, it's what kind of curve it has in it. 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.
In reply to: 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." 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.
In reply to: And I think i'm stuck with her! (thankfully, she is a good woman who i find very attractive so we're good). 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.
In reply to: maybe next year we can try some ice?! :lol: Dude, you'll be doing good for YOUto get out and do some ice next year. :lol:
