kids at the crag. Yes or No

"More times than not, I see no other climbing parties with their kids, dogs, boom boxes and/or "Bee Nets". How do I manage this? I get the fuck OUT of Dodge!" -Locker

The Irony Department is on the second floor, but returns are handled at the Main Office by the front entrance.
I wonder how many minors read your comment?!?!?
I'm not against the use of the word fuck and my kid has certainly heard it.
But I didn't write the part about others showing "some RESPECT," as you put it.

Exactly!
You have to clean up your god damned language before you suggest that other people not say fucking shit.
Easier than that is just not caring what others say - words gain their power from scarcity, not over-use.

A quick question..

Would you still be inclined to "curse A LOT" if your mother and/ or father were on scene?

Just curious

Sorry I made fun of you.
I thought you made the mistake of looking like one when you suggested other people show respect while saying fuck twice in a post. I didn't realize you actually were a fucking moron. ;-)
But since you suggested I was prudish, now I realize, it wasn't ironic, it was revealing.
Some day we should sit down and have a damned beer and you can find out how prudish I am.

Age and responsibility makes the difference. Kids who climb are usually fine and very interested in watching. Little kids are a pain, get into stuff, are loud, cry or whine all day, etc. I prefer none myself, unless well disciplined and under control.

Uh... are you sure I was not just playing along?
Weed makes me paranoid, so I'll turn that down.
I'm sure we'll chat some day when I leave gear somewhere and want it back.

I signed up for an account just so I could post in this very important thread.

I don't think I'm a good enough climber to be qualified to directly address this question.

I just wanted my first post to contain the words shit, fuck, pussy and cock.

Thank you to the OP for presenting me with this opportunity.

Carry on.

Lol Paul.

And don't take tony too seriously Locker. He is one those new dads who now has to redefine himself as protector of the family and such. He'll realize he is just another guy that reproduced and will eventually get over it.

"kids at the crag. Yes or No"

Yes. Because my kids have as much a right to enjoy the public outdoors as you have to spray and curse and be offensive while yarding on draws.

And if my kids want to call you a potty mouth, I hope you sack up and take it like an adult.

Spot on.

To be safe,
DO NOT let your kids talk to Locker.

He is a proud smoker of the demon weed. Just talking to him will give you a contact high.
Locker is the gateway drug.

Not really at all.
Actually more like struggling to see himself as a father at all and trying to find that headspace.
But feel free to analyze the shit out of people you don't know and make a fool of yourself in the process.

No one does that round here Tony.

Congrats man, kids are wild, I like em as long as I can give em back when they start leaking.

Not helping your tough guy image Locker.

Or did the "demon weed" turn you soft?

fuckin a!

This thread reminds me of a cheesy novel, I almost even shed a tear when Locker busted out pictures of his boy and girl. ; )

Ps. Your son's eyes look almost as crazy as yours!!!

Locker wrote:I personally would be highly offended if a child called me "Potty mouth". Now if the same child called me Fuckhead? Totally ACCEPTABLE!

hahah. My kids already have been coached that the only time I will allow them to drop an F-bomb is when they see a guy with a carabiner tattoo. ;)
