You're too charitable gentlemen. You give W/C that which he craves. Wes' essential presence on ST is that of a dog chasing cars. Honk, grimace or steer away from him and he celebrates it as victory. Give him a moon (or flame thread) and he howls in glee for keeping tender souls from sleep.
I heard this very morning that Bob Van Belle was in acute phases of weschrist fatigue. Please pray for Bob's recovery and ignore the nuisance barking.
I don't know Wes well, just met him once, but he was mountain biking in Tahoe and looking for cool boulders.
He was actually doing stuff.
He was super cool to talk to in between problems on a kickass boulder in the xxx-xxx valley there.
He's knowledgeable about a ton of climbing areas - the kind of specific knowledge that only comes from actually going there and exploring and getting after it.
His opinions are valid and generally well-thought out, even the ones I don't agree with. We've debated a couple of subjects here on the Supertaco and he always respected my opinion.
He's got more of a place on this forum than most of the people who post, flame, politicize, etc...being an actual climber who has original thoughts rather than just spouting the latest hippy crap - or conservative crap, as the case may be.
I suspect, like most of the people here, he's better in person than online.
In that light, I'd love to actually meet Crowley - he's GOT to be better in person than online. Unless he stands around all day handing out anti-bush propoganda and disrespectfully calling people derogatory names, like he does here.
Jody too, but on the opposite side.
And so on. Etc.
Give him a moon (or flame thread) and he howls in glee for keeping tender souls from sleep.
Ah, did I disturb your sleep? If so, you obviously haven't worked hard enough to deserve resting.
I heard this very morning that Bob Van Belle was in acute phases of weschrist fatigue.
Oh God. If only I had known I was hurting the ones I love.
Dearest Bob, you know I never meant to hurt you...
next time remember to use the safety word, umkay.
(Thanks for the kind words Aaron. You going to be around Bishop next weekend?)
HaHa Weschrist, You can't fool me.
I seriously doubt that is a pic of you.
One of the dead giveaways that tells me,
that is not a pic of you , is the CROSS that the Gent is wearing.
OH, look! Dirty showed up to the party!
F#ck off, Dirty! Go start a feud somewhere else.
No Bishop this weekend for me, Wes - have fun there!
I'm stuck in retail-land here in San Diego. Black Friday and this weekend should have me pretty busy.
You can do anything you want, Jello. You know what you have to do.
Morpheus: Let me tell you why you're here, Jello. You're here because you know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind -- driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Jello: The Matrix?
Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?
(Jello nods his head.)
Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Jello: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind. (long pause, sighs) Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
(In his left hand, Morpheus shows a Red pill.)
Morpheus: You take the Red pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (a Blue pill is shown in his other hand) You take the Blue pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (Long pause; Jello begins to reach for the Blue pill) Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.
(Jello takes the Blue pill and swallows it with a glass of water).
hey there ed, say, nice idea.... (i'll stick to the appreciation part, though) .... :)
i never saw it the first time...
wes, sending appreciation to you... as i always know that
part of supertopo wouldn't be the same without the feedback, each one has
to offer, and you've been part, for so long (though, i haven't seen a lot of your post, yet, just a few).... :)
say, on the next note, your pup-dog is so nice! i just
recently saw it on the dog-thread... very sweet looking, and different looking dog...
take care... hmm, say, remember, "knitting" falls apart very easy,
if you miss a stitch... ;)
I like Wes he thinks this sh#t is funny as hell & he has no filter on the things he says subsequently making his comments usually quite interesting. He also climbs & doesn't give a fuk what u think. Just so long as you don't take things too seriously here & don't get all butthurt over other people's opinions he's a fairly easy guy to coexist with in my experience. Keep it real Christ!!
Cool vid Wes. Thanks. Did you know friends of inyo was working on a proposal with the forest service for a toilet at the milks awhile back? Ill post the link on your milks thread.
I tried my best with Wes. Over dozens and dozens of climbing trips to areas both well-known and obscure I tried to show him the ropes. But the kid just can't learn. In LCC, he flailed on my warm-ups; in Josh, he cried like a little baby on stuff I was hucking solo laps on in 1975; at the Horn, he'd eyeball old highballs I'd done alone 10 years before and shudder while pee dribbled down his leg; in Flagstaff, he floundered; at Ibex he'd avoid my stellar beta; I never could get him the to the Valley, which in retrospect is probably a good thing; and despite countless attempts he never did master my espresso machine.
BUT, he was always down for an adventure sesh no matter how short-noticed, ill-advised, or long the drive. And as a spotter he hangs right in there to the bitter end. What the f*#k, I'd do him.
I missed this thread the first time, being incarcerated and all.
I haven't met Wes in person, but from our online conversations and knowing at least one person who studied with him, I consider him a friend, and prize that friendship. Witty and smart, even if somewhat politically misguided ;>)
I have always thought that Weschrist's posts were mean and vindictive. Maybe his is different in person, but as for his internet personality, I would rather shovel sh#t than hang around listenting to HIM.
I don't like to flame or be mean, but that is how it is.
Added 30 bolts to EXISTING lines! Since you're strutting your stuff, just exactly which routes were graced by your passing. Inquiring minds want to know.
sheesh Mimi, I'm a little too worked up to respond. You really got me in a tizzy and I'm not sure how to deal. I need some alone time to process your piercing critic of my existence.
If you still climbed you might have noticed the added bolts... except that they aren't on the 5.6's.
Kevin, that is all well and GUD, but aren't you the least bit curious where Brother Weasley has tossed in two and and a half dozen bolts on established free climbs in Yosemite?
Or maybe he shot his wad on the Housekeeping Boulder.
Okay Weasley, please tell us which 5.7 routes you tainted.
i don't think wesley has ever been to yosemite. if he has, he's been hiding it from me -- no doubt out of shame after getting his ass handed to him on stuff i was soloing in chucks in 1974.
dood, I used to be so ripped back in the day... and bold too!
I've only done a few routes in Yosemite, but they were all cover shots in at least one guide book or climbing mag, so it was rad. The bolts I added were for rapping the routes before my on sight attempt. That place sucks, so I never went back.
WB, yep... all washed up now... that's why I'm here.
I don't shop at Walmart... my gf does all the shopping while I sit home and eat our stockpile of Twinkies and coffee.
I did do the FA of the best finger crack in Yosemite, but I never told anyone about it and I'm certainly not telling YOU were it was.
2 bolts for rap anchors... hahahaaaa... I'm not that bold, I use 4! I spray painted them hot pink after I placed them so I could find them later and to match Joooles' hair. If you still climbed you would have no problem finding them.

You're such a maroon. 4 rap bolts in granite?! At least you inadvertently support the breast cancer movement.
I'm playing darts. I'll flame on your sorry ass later.
I still can't give much credit to the jibes of a crowd who quietly tolerates pedophile humor/threats and only picks up the tar and feathers over a sarcastic dude who occasionally plays a dickhead on TV. Sorry, ye courageous head rollers and finger gaggers ;).
True. The majority have been "interesting", I would say. Although, we still have people crying over the loss of the most despotic of asinine non-climbing ass klowns in LEB. Go figure.
I'd like to get back to these 30 rap bolts, you haven't DODGED any questions yet young man!
I want the updated topos on my desk by tuesday 9am - SHARP! If they aren't there with updated hole counts we are kicking you out of our Yosemite club, taking away your badge (no you can't buy another box of cracker jacks to get a new one) and banning you from climbing anything put up before the iron curtain fell.
I didn't have to return under a pseudonym, I just didn't bother asking for the old one. CMac is obviously too busy to put much thought into who he bans or why, so why make him consider whether or not he wants to unban someone?
GD, I can give you a list, but you've probably never heard of them. They are cutting edge futuristic rock climbs. For starters:
Thanks for those awesome action shots, BVB. Keep em comin like a porn star Big Stone.
Oh c'mon Wes, tell us about the finger crack. Most of us aren't that interested in rap bolts unless you placed bolts on the routes. And after seeing your bouldering prowess, I doubt you could place a bolt on stance. LOL!
Are you still hanging in that refrigerator box down by the river? Or did you upgrade to a stolen POD since you're in school again?
I never said I placed them on lead. I rapped in to place them, sheesh, I'm not THAT bold. I'm working the routes in 2 parts, which is why I used all 30 bolts on 3 climbs.
Wes could use a boner about now seeing how bvb has been frosting his balls so well upthread. LOL!
d-know, I guess you didn't notice this is the Weschrist...and Flame Thread. You must've be one of the spotters subbing for his greatness and consequently entitled to a sniff of the sacred, but secret crack.
Post deleting by d-know, always the hallmark of a weasel.
Not at all, d-know. You must not be one of the unlucky souls on here that has had historical problems with Wes. He got banned for being a dirty player and now he's back. I'm merely enjoying flaming him. Can't you tell how much fun we're all having?
Do you know him? Are you a friend of his? Have you witnessed the secret crack?
Being a dirty player? Sheesh, you call one old skank a two-bit slut and she whines about it for... what's it been now Mimi... 5-6 years. For fuk sake, get over it. I guess I should have just mused about taking your life, which is always tons of fun and the mark of a super high class, well adjusted person.
I'm a nobody and you are some big time famous skank who did some mediocre climbing back in the day that kids these days flash after spending a year climbing in a gym... before moving onto paddle boarding. Maybe you are just upset that you were never as great or cool as Sue McDevitt or Nancy Feagin or even Steph Davis, so you have to take it out on some noname boulderer.
No, I got banned because Cmac is pretty damn lazy when it comes to who he bans, obviously.
BVB, thanks for those picture posts, your commentary on them is cracking me up. At least wesme is getting on the stuff (even if he's just a boulderer) and anyway, I bet Wes is one of those folks that comes off better in person than on the net. Welcome back mewes.....wesme....Christ.
I'm sure bvb and Mimi onsight 12a finger cracks as warmups and my accomplishments will always pale in comparison... but nevertheless I was pretty proud when I onsighted Sentry Box on my 4th go. Not bad for a boulderer, I'd say. Not quite as fun as Freeway, but still enjoyable.
hey now, wannabe hippie picts from FB are off limits! I've had death threats you know... and you wouldn't want to be an accomplice when they come to make the world a better place.

This is exactly what were talking about asshat. I suspect you would never say that in front of Mimi or Steve, and to there faces only behind a computer screen.
Wow, tarbaby, didn't take long at all to melt you down. It was my insults about your housing wasn't it?
For a dual purpose thread, we sure don't see much appreciating and you're easily on the path to being banned again. To suggest CMac is lazy about banning is a reach.
How about manning up to acknowledge what a nasty and bitter little fuktard you can be behind the monitor? You get another chance but you just can't stop from being your true self.
How about manning up to acknowledge what a nasty and bitter little fuktard you can be behind the monitor?
I hereby acknowledge that I am a nasty and bitter little fuktard behind the monitor. But I do it with a smile on my face and there are plenty of people who get that. And there are those who never will because they take themselves way too seriously. And yes, if someone threatened me with violence to my face for a joking around, I probably would call them a skank. Of course I usually don't interact with people who take themselves so seriously.
Yep, CMac is lazy when it comes to banning people. Anyone who lets threats of violence slide, while claiming to ban people for giving stupidtaco a negative vibe is either lazy or a hypocrite. I choose to believe he has better things to do and is just lazy when it comes to this forum.
LOL, tarbaby. Thanks for the belated admission. And you're kidding yourself about CMac and his staff.
Threatened you with violence? As I recall, you were being a 5 star jerk and I think I stated something like having the same conversation in person at the base of a crag somewhere. No, I don't take myself seriously and the fact that you rub so many others the wrong way to gain merit is a self-indulgent and weak argument.
Let's start over. I will ignore you and you do the same. Seriously, just like old times before you got canned.
You know its possible to ignore someone without announcing it... like I get ignored all the time, and it rarely seems like people make a statement. lol.

"Why does Mimi keep calling people Tarbaby?? Should I be appalled??"
No. She is directing that at Mewes. Consult the internet.
Wikipedia quoted below, no need for being racially offended.
"The Tar-Baby is a fictional character in the second of the Uncle Remus stories published in 1881; it is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br'er Rabbit. The more that Br'er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes. In modern usage, "tar baby" refers to any "sticky situation" that is only aggravated by additional contact."
"In one tale, Br'er Fox constructs a doll out of a lump of tar and dresses it with some clothes. When Br'er Rabbit comes along he addresses the tar "baby" amiably, but receives no response. Br'er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as the Tar-Baby's lack of manners, punches it, and in doing so becomes stuck. The more Br'er Rabbit punches and kicks the tar "baby" out of rage, the worse he gets stuck. Now that Br'er Rabbit is stuck, Br'er Fox ponders how to dispose of him. The helpless but cunning Br'er Rabbit pleads, "but do please, Br'er Fox, don't fling me in dat brier-patch," prompting Fox to do exactly that. As rabbits are at home in thickets, the resourceful Br'er Rabbit escapes. Using the phrases "but do please, Br'er Fox, don't fling me in dat brier-patch" and "tar baby" to refer to the idea of "a problem that gets worse the more one struggles against it" became part of the wider culture of the United States in the mid-20th century.[citation needed] The story was originally published in Harper's Weekly by Robert Roosevelt; years later Joel Chandler Harris wrote of the Tar-Baby in his Uncle Remus stories. A similar tale from African folklore in West Africa has the trickster Anansi in the role of Br'er Rabbit."
"a problem that gets worse the more one struggles against it"
Mimi, Couch, Wiki... Thanks for the new metaphor!
"Quicksand" was getting old, lol!

re: tar baby as a slur
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "tar baby" as "a difficult problem which is only aggravated by attempts to solve it", but the subscription-only version adds a second definition: "a derogatory term for a Black (U.S.) or a Maori (N.Z.)".
Several United States politicians—including presidential candidates John Kerry, John McCain, Michele Bachmann, and Mitt Romney—have been criticized by civil rights leaders, the media, and fellow politicians for using the "tar baby" metaphor. An article in The New Republic argued that people are "unaware that some consider it to have a second meaning as a slur" and it "is an obscure slur, not even known to be so by a substantial proportion of the population." It continued that, "those who feel that tar baby's status as a slur is patently obvious are judging from the fact that it sounds like a racial slur". In other countries, the phrase continues to refer to problems worsened by intervention.
Mechrist, are you OK with Mimi calling you a Tarbaby?
I have this wondeful scene playing out in my head where Dr. F comes up to Wes at a formal dinner party (Martini in hand) and asks Weschrist the same question.
"NO its not OK! WHY WOULD IT BE OK! I'm dying over here, man... f*#k. How can I live with myself?"
Wes begins to cry into his fistful of appetizers. The good Dr. puts a reassuring arm around the poor lad, smirking not so much at his good deed but how great he looks doing it.
"It'll be alright, Kid. The Brer Rabbit fought the tar-baby in that old song of the South. It means that the more people tangle with you, the more f*#ked up they get, because you're all covered in tar."
Wes peels his clenched white knuckles away from clawing at his sobbing eyes, just long enough to look up to the Doc and ask "Isn't that racist?"
"No, Wes, Mimi isn't a racist!" Dr. F exclaims with a chuckle. "But she IS a pedophile."
(You are only seen as a not-racist to people that are steeped in sharecropping folklore, so everybody.)
Don't be so hard on yourself. If I recall I was teaching you how to use your feet. Besides, I know it's hard to take your eyes off my sexy lower half when I'm climbing.
Wow, second post ever and already censored. Looks like jeremy a can call people homosexuals and talk about their mom but one can't do the same. Looks like the dirtbag mud wrestler has a 'fan' club with the moderators even after he left.
... wait, life after death, fundamentalists defending your honor... Jeremy is the true christ! He is risen!
Jebus, you're cute and all, but I'm taken. However, like most cragwhores, I'd be happy to let you check out my ass while you spot me, but only if you shower me with attention.
dood, look how long my finger is in that picture!?!
I posted just before MeChrist's last post where he says he 'already has a guzzler'. I had made reference that Jeremey A followers like to imbibe heartily in his bodily fluids. Apparently, this gets your post pulled here. Given the language on Jeremy's posts and TRs, i was not aware that i had stepped over a line, or perhaps there is a special line in relation to Jeremy that one does not cross.
Admin deleted a whole page once, along with my posts
and it was when I was trying to get Farouk banned, and there 10000s of !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111666s on it
since I was reposting his !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let us know!
