Hey Brian
Now all yer sprayin’ makes sense! You must be continually peeved at yourself, what with all the “purity,” conflict of interest,” “git off my public land ya money-grubbin’ corruptos” and other dogmas you’re always tossing off. hee hee (hee)
…ditto on domestic beer
…but you always say “yer”!

That’d be “all yalls” or “you’uns”. Too much ivy league in you. Need to schedule another cleansing session.
Tom…you don’t really want me to surf up all yer old posts and point out all the grammatical and spellin’ issues, eh? Har har…
My pet peeves?
#1: Dogma. Everything else pales.
Minor peeves:
American Triangles.
Missouri (or was that Minnasota?) clippin’ (ref. an El Cap fatality if I recall correctly where a party clipped from said state clipped their anchor biner over the webbing and not into a loop. When one of the bolts blew, they perished. I still see folks doin’ it at belays sometimes…).
Guidebooks and websites with beta (for bringin’ the crowds). Also, me not havin’ guidebooks and websites with beta. Condundrum.
Folks learnin’ to aid climb on popular trade routes in Zion. Folks portaledging 2 pitches from the ground on popular trade climbs in Zion. Me not having done all the popular trade routes in Zion.
Folks not wanting to share anchors and gettin’ ugly mad about it.
Inattentive belayers.
Huge wads of slings on anchors.
Bent over bolt studs.
1/4″ rapid links (instead of 5/16″ or 3/8″ ones).
Gear that busts before its due for retirement. Gear that is overpriced and doesn’t slice the bread as well as you thought it should but you bought the darn thing anyhow.
Wimpy shock tape or straps on the back of harnesses that wear out in the first chimney you scootch around in.
GPS without map or compass skills. Cell phones without emergencies. Untended dogs at the crags.
Group food on long trips. Cookin’ food in the water pot on long snowy trips. Finding toilet paper in my water pot on long snowy trips…unburied or unburned or any visible toilet paper…(evolved into a theme…!).
Careless arrogance. Arrogant guides. Ok, arrogance in general.
Having someone misinterpret confidence and/or passion as arrogance or elitist.
Being moderated on an egroup that I’ve been a member of within a month of its inception but still apparently can’t be trusted to show restraint and good judgement. Note that this is a minor peeve…as far as YOU know… Gee, maybe if I just contributed something worthwhile on occasion…oh well (heavy sigh)…always something to work on…yuck yuck yuck…
Major label domestic beer.
Having to spell out “you are” when “yer” gets the point across with so many less key strokes.
Pet peeves I’m guilty of? Not always wearin’ a helmit, even when its in my pack (For shame for shame I know I know…would would ANAM say? But…even ol’ Coonyard doesn’t like helmits…). Fillin’ the pee bottle and not emptying it. Sleeping in. Not practicing self rescue techniques enough. Long expired advanced first aid and emergency care. BS’n. Not stayin’ away from unproductive flame sessions on egroups (but hey, gimme some credit as of late, eh?). Maybe being overly passionate and vocal when I should be shuttin’ my trap. Not lettin’ it go…(stressin’ stressin’….). Not havin’ the aplomb to tell someone that their technique could use some help or they are doin’ something wrong and/or dangerous (there’s an art to this kind of communication, sometimes it clicks, sometimes it comes across wrong and everyone gets bummed). Full rack of pork ribs instead of a small side salad with no dressing.
Enough already…

So Tom is unhappy with the large quantity of rednecks and hillbilly speaking members in the Egroup. Perhaps he would feel more at home if we had a Swedish Chef, a couple of Valley girls and a few gangsters from the old neighborhood. What do you think Tom?
