Man, you folks were busy over the weekend. 664 here?
I was surprised to see how often the North Buttress of Mt. Goode is climbed. Almost as much as the class 2 SE Slope.

Bwahahahaaa! Locker the baboon. If you come near me with that shiny a$$ I'll have to put some hurt on you!
Ouch, aside from being a great artist, is psychic. I just put my glasses back on today since I'm shifting back into work (well, look like I'm working) mode.
I'm going to search my home for hidden cameras tonight....

So where are we number wise? I guess I'll know once I post this.
EDIT
679
and 20 seconds to load page (on ADSL)
ANOTHER EDIT
Okay, for those techies out there, am I correct in assuming that once 15:00 or thereabouts (24-hour clock, 3pm otherwise) hits here in Ireland the internet slows down as far as loading pages – eight hour time difference to the West Coast - so I figure that it is because the West Coast is waking up and going online.
This does happen BTW, the net slows down noticeably, after 15:00 Irish time. Would a large online population such as the West Coast of North America make a difference to internet speed?

Yes, Patrick, I think so. I wonder if it can be rigged to avoid the delay?
What is this thread about, anyway?

well Dingus is trying to get something out of nothing, I'll play....
I mean, what's the deal with 666 itself? What's up with that? Can you splain?
it would be surprising if DMT didn't already have some idea and was counter-trolling LEB, or at least putting out the bait.
But, the "deal" has to do with Christian and Jewish mysticism... and references in the Bible (both testaments), e.g.:
"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
from Rev. 13:18 of the King Jame's bible. Someplaces this is 616, and is generally thought to be code for Nero. Since the writers didn't want to name names, and then deal with the political fallout.
However, the considerable ambiguity of the code and intention, and the long forgotten assignment had led to a very diverse set of speculation regarding the meaning.
Finding this in the Wikipedia article and perhaps relevant to the contemporary Taco poster avatar pantheon:
'Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) claimed that he was the Beast prophesised in the Book of Revelation and took the name “?? ???? ??????”, Greek for “The Great Beast”, which adds up to 666 by isopsephy, the Greek form of gematria.[16][17]'
So I want to know if posting a welcome to long departed climbers actually does work in getting them out of their "lurking" state.

Any good climbing off of US Route 666? I read they were thinking of changing the number on that highway awhile back.

I once heard that Ronald Reagan was the antichrist because all three of his names started with the same letter and all were 6 letters long? weird.

Locker, you are being swayed by the darkside. Come back, come back, don't listen to L. She just wants to control you and you KNOW that free spirits shouldn't be controled. Where would the Television world be without the show about nothing " Friends" ? That show united the world in nothing. You want us to be united don't you? Its really this thread that united us. NOT that silly thread with pictures. Knott that there is anything wrong with pictures, but the indians were right, pictures steal your soul. So don't give in to Ls persuasions, although I might give in and go to the otherside because, well, lets face it. Our side has pictures of Woodys rear and thier side has pictures of Nita, and Crimpie, and BB, and L, and Mimi, and Ekat and Crusher ( mercy, who thought she was a gorgeous woman ) oh.......I feel so confused.........must resist....must not give in.......LOCKER.....HELP ME. We can do it......Nothing must win out over community and caring. We are the Lords of Nothing. ( reference to Fatties post about Lords of War and Lords of Peace ) We must prevail if Nothing is to survive.
Rally round you good and cheerful folks. Come to the AID of NOTHING..... TRADitionally NOTHING has been the domain of REAL climbers. Photos are for SPORT. CHOOSE your side........

This thread is too classic to die. For one, it contains the best taco post of all time, courtesy of JohnX01:
The aircon hummed in the reception room of the LEB Suite in the Glen Gardener County Hospital, Dr Lois read the case notes carefully.
He'd been brought in bound and gagged by two guys in a pick-up truck, the nurse thought there names were Wuss Ralling and Dingus Cheesecake, but it appeared to be quite a confused situation.
That was four days ago, since then he'd been tied to a bed in his 'tighty whities' in the foetal position, babbling incomprehensibly.
The intercom buzzed, it was Janet, her clipped Canadian accent announced she was on her way up with the patient. Dr Lois stood up and stepped round the front of her desk.
All her years of practice could not have prepared her for this, Janet stepped into the room holding the long bony hand of a dwarfish, sinewy, 'gollum' like figure with wide staring eyes. Their eyes locked as she spoke "Hello Locker, I'm Lois it's so nice to meet you". A wave of terror washed over his face, his eyes rolled and a ruvulet of spittal leaked from the corner of his mouth and down his chin.
No normal medicine could treat this 'creature', she lead him out to her ceremonial teepee in the grounds of the GGCH. Like an animal she tethered him to the shamanic totem and stepped into the tent. Humming to herself she unbuttoned her floral dress and let it drop to the floor, she scooped something from a clay jar near the fire pit and started to smear her body with bear fat. After rubbing cold ashes into the fat, she commenced the mystic painting of her body, finally she kicked off her sandals and slipped on her psychic elk skin moccasins, she picked up her shamanic drum and stepped out into the sunlight as 'Long Winded Dear' Shaman of the Shushoni, magical healer, warrior of the other world, she started to beat her drum and dance around poor old Locker.
Three days and three nights she fought those demons, when it was over she slept for 48 hours solid and was woken by a nurse telling her that Locker had just made his first post on SuperTaco, it was commenting on a slight mis-spelling in another post, it was polite and grammatically correct, she
smiled to herself at a job well done.
Over the next week Locker's post grew in content and volume, people were amazed at the transformation, carefully thought out theories on climbing ethics, a discourse on Ancient Greek attitudes to the State. She did not post, just read and wondered at her patient's progress. Ten days later she had just finished reading Locker's last post(2 Gigabytes) on Metaphysical Bouldering, a tightly woven and carefully argued treatise on Bouldering and American Foreign Policy, she could resist no longer, she logged onto ST and posted..............
