"Sure, stand by for an extra large image post."

There's no need to out-source it to India. Just make all customers place orders by starting a thread on Supertopo. Russ will get it faster and the heckling comments are always entertaining.

You must be a member of that "other" West Coast, the one that doesn't have to hump it until 6:30 these days. Or as Napoleon Dyno would say "Lucky!"

Russ, I talked with my web/email hosting service and found a possible glitch that could have been tripping your spam filters... a shared IP. I bought a dedicated IP day before yesterday, so hopefully you can receive my emails now. I just sent you another email via mountainserver. If you see this message but did not receive my email please reply to me.
Also, can't you email me directly anyway and set your spam filters to allow email from specific domains?

If Steve was so very benevolent as to be letting Russ know about something that needed fixing, then he would have sent Russ an email, and not implied that unresponsiveness was a repeated problem with the title "at it again" even if he is "nice"

and I was wowed by the fact I got dern near a years' worth of
chalk out of the deal too.
I wuz just lettin' Russ know about the thread. . .
I got no problems with Russ. . .
Thanks for the defence, friends!!!!

I ordered A Pro Bag and a Mini Pro bag. Zebra end - hoping for the svelt Green Mirror Ball fabric on the Body.
I got a job Pole Dancing at a local "club" and my first gig is Friday night. I need the bags to tote my goods and outfit (gotta show up in style, yeah?).
So I'm sure the stitching is still hot when it went in the overnight FedEx bag. Now I just need to find some pumps to match like Jeff M has.
Oh...and some slings but that's for something total ghey - climbing.

I know I know... but I think Russ is mad at me for something I said about the chicken... or something. So I figure I better go easy on the drop date.
Actually... I used "Whenever" and "Whenever Whenever" :-)

How many Fish/Russ topics are there now? Probably time to either change the name of the site or print t-shirts:
That's all for me. Off to Tahquitz.

Underneath it needs to say:

Seriously!

New alpine aiders arrived yesterday just in time for the next two weeks of trudging, even though I ordered them very, very late.
I ordered from Russ cuz a pro deal from a much larger maker never arrived (out of stock, item too hard to find in the storage room, bros too hungover to check invoice, the new hottie in reception too distracting, the boss's dog ate all the aiders, etc. etc.).
Next time, I'll just FISH to begin with.

Just to follow up on the whole chalk bag fiasco, there's a very frightening side-effect to using Fish Products.
See, I've been a very happy 5.4 gym climber since I started climbing a couple months ago, but when the bag showed up I became severely possessed. My friends thought I had lost my marbles when I decided to jump in the car and head directly to Tahquitz for no apparent reason. Like a zombie, I trudged straight up the trail, knocking hikers and other climbers out of my way. I kept angling up right until the line at Traitor Horn stopped my progress (too many people to try to trundle). There was a couple standing there pointing over to El Camino Real and using words to the effect of "run out" or "small fingers," and "maybe tomorrow."
There was something magical in the name "El Camino Real" (make sure you trill your R and you'll know what I mean). The remarks had an incendiary effect, and gave a severe prod to my manic state. I poked the guy in the eye, and proceeded to steal his rack (then I stole his buxom girlfriend, the Fish "power" being so strong). She succumbed to the overwhelming aura of "The Bag," handed me the sharp, and said "Gun it, Big Boy," with her seductive, Nuun-scented breath.
I can't comment on what happened on Jungle Ledge---and the compromising position the girlfriend and I ended up in at the anchor is too risque to relate here---not to mention the buck-naked, Bushmills-fueled, lube-a-thon in the Whodunnit chimney. (And I only know all this from the link to PornTube that someone just sent me.) All I can say, is that when I finally took "The Bag" off, and realized I was miles from the nearest autobelay, I high-tailed it back to the gym, getting no fewer than eight speeding tickets (adding even more to the "ownership" costs of a Fish Product---and I haven't even mentioned all the antibiotics, rehab and therapy incurrences).
Basically, as far as Fish Products are concerned all I'm trying to say is: CAVEAT f'ing EMPTOR!
(Behold the "Power")
