Nigal is back!

“Well he was. He made a few posts. Maybe newgirl can lure him back.”

“Nigal, or someone posting as Nigal....”

“I would like to thank those who e mailed and sent cards and candy bars during the time of my incarseration. And thanks for sending smokes Hyper...they kept me from gettin' my salad tossed more than a few times.”

“Salad tossed eh? LOL!!!”

“Glad to hear you're un-incarcerated...sorry to hear about yer salad ;)”

“Nigal - heard a lot about you. Look forward to reading your posts!”

“Nigal buddy? Is it really you? Welcome back. Can't wait to hear the latest installment on the Misadventures of Nigal”

“Nigal - I missed you. I also missed you on the Llama Rama 2001 trip...Maybe next year!!”

“Nigal, its good to have you back. I hope you are dealing with your new found freedom well. When I got paroled in 96 ( seems like a life time ago) It was such a hard transition. I am also glad the smokes kept your backdoor an "exit only" if you know what I am saying.”

“Nice to see you back on TT, Nigal!”

“knee-gall, knee-gall, knee-gall!!!!!”

“so, what were you in the can for?”

“What a revolting development this
is.















Yay! It almost makes coming back to work after a long weekend bearable.

Welcome back.”

“rad, I never got it in the can. Remember the smokes?

All right I?ll tell ya. Me an? Dirtbag Darrel were on the way to the trail head for a hike. I gave Dirtbag my alcohol stove to use because I got tired of him mooching off me just because he doesn?t wanna carry a stove. The only problem is he keeps drinking the HEET fuel for the stove before he even makes it to the trailhead (He doesn?t have a drivers license for anything faster than a tractor so I have to drive). We stop at Waffle House (his choice, not mine) and he starts in with his a$$ slappin? and ?Toots this and Toots that? with the waitresses. Long story short; ass slappin?, truck driver, tire thumper, parking lot, Nigal saves Dairtbag, local sheriff, Darrel mentally incompetent, Nigal in orange coveralls with an Acme butt plug. I did learn one thing though:

What?s got three teeth and six teats?



Third shift at Waffle House”

“so the good news is, you were found to be sane”

“This doesn't sound like Nigal, sounds more like the guy who wrote the stories, what's his name? You know, Mel's boyfriend.”

“Very loosely, but yes?.technically.”

“LOL!”

“I remember, it was Gentle Ben. That's who Nigal sounds like.

Had he said he was taking care of an elderly family member during their last days, I would have believed it was Nigal, but.”

“Oh my gawd Chief! No you did not just compare me to Genital Ben! You been suckin' da peace pipe too much, no? 80)”

“Not for some time. You know, drug testing and all. That and I kind of like being married.”

“Nigal- wanna make out?”

“You must not have seen my picture yet in my profile. LOL!”

“Heck, Ms.Biz prolly has less and more decayed teeth (or should I say teef) than you Mr.Nigal. Well, I could be wrong 80

btw - Hope to see you on the Zaleski trip in Sept. Although I have an important date on the 18th that may decide my future for a while, I still hope to come down and meet some new folks.”

“I'm on vacation from the 7th to the 16th so the rest of the month is pretty much toast for me. I'd like to meet every one though...just not all at one time! LOL!”

“Ha, ha, ha, that is funny...Nigal got compared to Gentle Ben!!!!
I love it!”

“Never met Mr.GentleBen...but Mr.Nigal sure could fit the bill!”

“Buddur, you don't even want to go there...”

“I actually miss Benjie.”

“Yer prolly right, Mr.Dunadun.”

“Hey, Nigal, do you think Ben misses you? I remember some classic flaming, back when.”

“As easy a target as am? Heck yes he misses me! Yes, I had my childish moments with him. Bad Nige! Bad Nige!”

“I am curious about the new Nigal.

Notwithstanding the bio page and link to DIrtbag Darrel's page etc etc it sounds different than old Nigal.

MOre . . .more ....not sure. I will watch it closely.

Am curious also about the 'back story' on the six months hiatus. We got the "parking lot fight at a bar went to jail" version which, is of course, possible. ., .but is it christian?? would the nigal on the page here have done that?


I think this nigal is the real nigal . . .but am curious


And obviously spending way too much time thinking about it!”

“LOL Lee--I was going to check and see if he is posting in some of his other old haunts. Sounds a bit different to me too.”

“MaryPhyl -

Different tone. Different voice.

Of course, six months in the joint will do that to a guy.”

“Nigal --

quick . . .without peeking . . .what is unique about your walking stick?”

“SHHHHH!!!! Nobody else help him out!!!”

“tick tock tick tock”

“I made the stick from a piece of Mini-soda white pine from my first trip to the BWCA. It says ?Dead to the World Alive in Christ? on it. Haha! It was a story. I thought it?d be funny. I wasn?t put in the poky or poked in the putty! I haven?t been arrested sense I was 17. I?m just here to have fun. What is so different?

Mary, the only other board I post to is TLWB. Ever read any of the silly stuff that one dude posts? Buzzcock Coffeehound?”

“Nigal dude!!! It's YOU!!!!!

FUn to have you back around. Hope you are well!”

“Nigal,
You're still my guru.
I look forward to more posts.”

“Nigal, I was just beginning to suspect the true identity of "Buzzcock Coffeehound" after reading the story about carving chopsticks & sleeping on a garbage bag.”

“Too Dirtbaggish Omahiker? heehee!

BS, guru of what? Dorkness?

Thank you for the kind words lee, especially considering last time I was here I was an a&&hole to you. My life passion now is respect and kindness towards all. As long as I stay focused on this life will be a joy.”

“Well Nigal, back when this was a backpacking web-site your advise was most informative and helpful to me. You still backpack don't you?”

“Yes I do BS. It seams I do very little of the dirtbag hiking though because I hike with others now and am a bit more civil when hiking with others. I haven?t been out solo for almost a year now. I miss it. I think I may get my Ultralighters Club Card torn up though. I just weighed my packs for a 7 day kayak trip and they come in at 55 pounds (10 pounds is beer though). In the words of the apostle Paul, ?Holy poop!?”

“I think you can keep the card on this trip as canoe and kayak trips are not qualified as having the necessity of being ultralight.
Have a good trip!”

“ALthough I can certainly attest to having been a deliberate a-hole to people here . . .I can remember nothing you directed at me registering on my a-hole meter. And I am not just saying that to be nice . . .”

“God bless the Dirtbags.”

“Nigal I saw your pic. I still wanna make out with you”

“And people wonder why I won't send Phil a pic.”
