"None."
You beat me to that one, old amigo. It's my own answer, certainly. but let me embellish my remarkks."Nemo, Sister Mary Simon, no time have I wasted, just copied and pasted to get the attention of those who ARE wasted."
Sr. MSimon was our Latin teacher. She was not a lay teacher, but could lay on the homework!
Ergo, I like to read this play, one of Bardini's best. Tempest About Nothing.
I like it better than his unfunny Two Gentlemen from Ventura, which I thought was in boorish taste, especially the scene where they blow Budweiser up each other's noses. But they were in Canada, and it gets the point across that Canadian beer rules! But I knew that coming here. So that beer thread might be a waste. No beer drunk is wasted.
She's no longer a nun, and has a shop selling sex paraphernalia and blogs as Sister Neverbeen. She also taught classics. I think she'd have appreciated Bardini.
And Norwegian.
because only the wind suggests
the absolute truths.
Hey, this is a theme from Dante, ya perv, ya danged aid-climbing, long-winded, obtuse, pseudo-plaigiaristic, non-pugilistic puke!
It's lookin' like Budweisers at dawn, face to face, lips to nose!

WASTED? Every second I spend on this junk is PRODUCTIVE in one way or another!
Peace
ditto. I've met either for real or virtualy with a lot of great people because of the taco. I do not consider it a waste of time.

sigh.
ST is like my life.
There are great moments!
I've read some great stories.
I've reconnected with 5 old friends and made at least 6 (that I've met and climbed with)new ones since late fall 2008.
I've written down and shared some stores that are worth saving.
I feel like I am part of the ST family! (on a good day on ST)
There are "downer-moments"
Posting on politard threads.
Quibbling with people, just to quibble.
And there are the many wasted moments.
No-one to blame for that but me reading those threads.
Best Wishes to all that post "good-schist" on ST!

Quibling with people, just to quible.
For Christ sake! Buy a dictionary, you, you...or sum thesaruri. Got a toolbar?
It's "wuibble."
I been there, Fritz, and I don't just mean the Taco, I mean the lovely long grade III in our friendly skies to the north.
There's an echo here.)))))))))))))
:O)
And I'm a n00b.

No time wasted. Helped save my life. Lots of stellar new friends, reconnected with old friends. I began climbing, got a job in a climbing shoppe and another in the Eastern Sierra which added hiking, peak climbing, and kayaking to my life along with more new friends from Lee Vining, June Lake and Mammoth.
Love yo Super Topo. Lynnie
Edit: and I didn't even mention, all the Face Lifts, Nose Reunion, Granite Climber at the Autrey Museum I could go on and on. ..... and on. :D

Looking back...I'd say the amount of time I spend on ST is directly proportional to the size of my stomach. Thankfully I've been on a smaller stomach cycle the past 12 months or so...
Occasional snacking is okay ;)

you can't waste time because time doesn't exist.

ritz, I agree, you are correct, it's absurd to question a man of your "hey, whate'er" attitude and integrity. But...
Are you sure you were there in the Bugs in 1972, as your photo suggests?! Because The Flames were there in 1970. I think we may have just missed Weej, as I posted sometime in the last month somewhere, don't waste your time looking bcause I already have, speaking of wasting time, so we might have just missed your party, as well, by a similar phenomenon, assuming, per the suggestion above, that time doesn't exist.
Now, more than ever, it seems as if it is very acceptable and maybe even legitimate to think in this way.
I know how to waste time productively. QED.
Likewise the brilliantly misguided Ed Hartoun.

What's Supertopo? Oh, you mean that bunch of climbing clowns who talk about everything under the sun, and then some.
Hey Mouse from Merced, did you really go to Catholic school? It was torture for me.
Got kicked out in sixth grade, but mom talked them into letting me back. Mother Superior, Sister Gregory, slapped me so I kicked her in the shin (that was in seventh grade).
It was public school after that.
EDIY
Quibling, wasn't he the Nazi puppet in Norway, no my mistake.
