RE: Backpacking Trivia
It's all ChinaChas' fault. It started with the second post on the thread and went downhill from there.

It's really difficult to dig a hole in frozen ground. I look for a patch of pine trees that have a nice needle base when it's freezing out.

RE: Backpacking Trivia
Not a backpacking related story but this thread has pretty much deteriorated to the point of no return, so why not?

I had a friend pull into a new development one time because I had to pee so bad, I thought I would burst. There were no homes yet, just the street. Being the creative type, I wrote my name right there on the cul-de-sac. Just as I finished, the local cop pulled up like he'd just cornered public enemy #1.

His first question was "name?".

I just pointed it out.

It was probably a felony assault; pointing a deadly weapon at someone.

Not really but he let me go after he couldn't really explain what harm I'd done. At first he said he'd seen some boys on the main road skateboarding but agreed they couldn't see me and probably wouldn't be permanently scarred if they had.

RE: Backpacking Trivia
I've run marathons in numerous, major US cities and have had to get pretty resourceful in finding a place to go just before the start when the porta-potty lines are still a mile long. Maybe the cops are more forgiving then.

RE: Backpacking Trivia
I stop at roadside porta potties quite often - jobsites, etc.

I did it on a first date once. We were driving along the interstate, and I stopped at one adjacent to where they were doing some road construction. The girl freaked. I told her to shaddap and finish her beer... LOL!

Hey, where the hell is Biz? She started the god-awful thread of trivial minutiae, after all.

What's the singular of minutaie? Minutia?

No, I just think Biz should be here to share in her creation.

RE: Backpacking Trivia
Yeah. That is a classy move Mr. Gojo! Did you take her dumpster diving for dinner as well?

Gojo is nothing but class. Does he pick up dates at roadside toilets too?

No wonder Txwoodswoman found him adorable.

LyndyS, if everybody peed at the same time, the song becomes, "Yellow River". Loved that song...

1970 something.... age 15
1st ever rock concert - Frank Zappa and the Mothers. My hero!
1st taste of wine
1st taste marajawanna
Corrupted at an early age by big brother... such memories.
Come to think of it, I don't remember a damn thing but my brother swears he had to beat me to get me to stop singing "Watch out where the huskies go...." all the way home.

respectfully submitted as useless trivia - the furtrapper (who by way was strictly commercial)
