LoboLookingForGirl” 2:44:45 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “I'm new and I will leave it at that.” 2:55:46 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “I've been here sporadically the last 18 months or so. I don't know if I've been recognized by 5 people though. Usually I end up killing a thread by the time I contribute. I did send my pic to Phil so I'll be recognizable whether you like it or not.” 3:00:10 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Hey I don't have a scanner or know much about computers so I haven't sent one in. Now that I think about it, I don't have a good picture that wouldn't scare the sh-t out of every one.” 3:02:55 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “me neither lobo” 3:15:58 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Matt needs to add a counter that keeps track of how many posts everybody makes” 3:19:27 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Where do you post your photo? I looked in the pictures section but that mostly lppks like senic photos.” 3:22:08 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “lppks like senic photos ok so I'm a retard” 3:23:51 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Tea! stop trollin.” 3:25:27 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Broken.. you just email your pic to Phil.” 3:55:24 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People 3:57:41 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Aero - I think that makes you "Double-New". Yucka, yucka, yucka!” 4:33:32 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Geez, all you old, many posted, reconstituted recognized TT'ers are mucking up this thread. When are the lurkers going to post, that was the question! Lizs and I are on the edge of our seats just waiting to rip away at their alias names, lol!” 4:52:50 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “hey, broken, it says in your bio that you live in VA! where 'bouts?” 5:11:43 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “I'm new here but I guess I'm close to 25 posts. As far as recognition goes, I'm good for the 5..... 5 mornings out of the year I MIGHT recognize myself when I look in the mirror.” 5:11:53 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Just lurking! How nice to meet all of you.” 5:23:35 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Cool name!” 5:34:20 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Yeah, but what happens tomorrow? ;-)” 6:11:02 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Jack of Diamonds” 6:21:39 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “I think I am ready for a new site.” 8:14:48 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Find a better one than here let us know whould ya?” 10:10:03 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “ Welcome to the wild and crazy world of Trail Talk. In this guide, I will go over various terminology, and ways of the Trail Talk (TT) folk. Use this guide as a reference for any thing that you don't understand that goes on here. However, before I continue, I must warn you that this is one untamed site SECTION A, Spelling and Grammar: Always use your best spelling, and grammar. We have a few English teachers, and one professor, that post here. ACRONYMS must be capitalized if used, and please limit them to the very basic ones of LOL, and BTW, after that the TrailTalkinanes loose it. If you are brain dead, and need help, and training on the laws of basic English we have this web page for you. SECTION B, Scientific stuff: When ever posting any thing that is very scientific, please have sources to back that up, and a link to a web page with the fact on it would be great. Most of the TT crowed are narrow-minded; if you find something hard to believe, don't expect them too. Oh' and one more thing, have that source reliable, "the national enquire" doesn't work here. SECTION C, TROLLS: If you have not been accused of being a troll already, you have good luck today. Trolls are basically people that are out for attention, and they will again that attention by posting completely radical things, for only one purpose, the purpose of creating havoc. If that has not explained trolls well enough for you, we have this great web page that will aid you in you search for what the hell a troll is. The websites most infamous troll is Tarpy, he has posted under the aliases of Wild Child, Mantra, Jara, Tarp Rat, ATBackpacker. In the past, he hasn't post any thing worth while reading, however with in the past week he changed his name to CX, and has posted nothing but normal stuff, and I believe that he is trying to change his ways. We also have another troll, his name is Joe Moma, there are about 5 people with access to that name and post wild things under it. SECTION D, HTML: You can use most HTML in at this site, just please don't go over bored with it. Matt, the Webmaster will change your post if you go to over bored, and he doesn't like us to post pictures often, because they slow down the site (and this site has enough technical problems as is). If you don't know much about HTML, well guess what, we have yet another great web page to educate you about HTML and how it all works. SECTION E, Trail Talk Terminology: A Trail hoe, is a person that hikes a lot. A Trail Pimp is a person that makes up the trips for us to hike on. A Trail virgin is a person that has never been on an over night trip. A Trail B!tch is a person that hikes, and likes it, but doesn't do it as often as the hoes. A Troll, well I hope you know what that is by now. A Regular is a person that posts nearly every day. A thread is the topic that your are posting on. A Handle is your name, AKA Trail Name. A Lurker is a person that surfs the site, however they don't post often or at all. There's more but I just forgot it. SECTION F, Bio's, Calendar, and Photo's: We have a web page with pics of us nuts on it. You can find most of us on the page, and many people that don't post any more. The older photos are at the top of the page, and the lattés ones are at the bottom. That web page is ran by Phil a TT regular, NOT Matt who is the web master. We also have a a bio's page, with all of are bio's. I don't know how accurate they are, but they are there. We also have a page with all of are upcoming events on it. We call it a calendar. To make life real easey we have a page with where we are all from, so if you want to stalk/kill/rape/rob(this works real good because we all post the time and date that we wont be home)/hike with us you will know. SECTION G, Instant Messaging (IM): Most of us have some for of IM, weather it be, ICQ, AIM, MSN IM, , and or Yahoo. Some of us use MSN, a slightly larger hand full of us use Yahoo, more of us use AIM (AIM RULES), and most of us use ICQ. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This site crashes often so by a helmet, posting heavy HTML, or when ever Matt tries to make a change, it crashes. You will often get a line saying something about line 28, or line 26, don't worry about it. Its not you computer it's the crazy server. To survive here you are going to have to grow some thick skin. In conclusion I welcome you to the nut house, enjoy. ” 10:19:10 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Nice description” 10:26:07 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “Rad... Watch which way you swing that thing. Presupposing you are still naked. New? Not I.” 11:14:53 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “...And ice tea is a 45 year old member of the FBI (or is it the CIA?). So watch what you say.” 11:30:54 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “no way Fritz! I want to see a picture of you! I think fritz is a troll!” 11:45:05 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bcd'” 11:48:06 PM 11/06/01 RE: New People “I'm pretty new...only been around here about 8 months. Posted about 20 times. Started backpacking 1 year ago.” 12:08:26 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “broken, is speed-racer a legit e-mail address? What exactly is or has been broken on you? How old are you? Are you married?” 1:33:34 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Of course not...neither Masai nor a troll. I was in Kenya for two summers, '82 (they had a coup attempt that year) and '83. I really don't speak Swahili, just a few phrases here and there. I'm sure you've drifted off to sleep by now, AG, and I am just leaving for work. Lala salama...” 5:41:49 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Didn't Ice Tea recently have a birthday? Isn't he 46 now?” 6:29:24 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Tea is 46, but he was fired from the FBI.” 7:24:20 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Just read that long thing by Tea, it's made me even more regular.” 8:28:51 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “it makes as much sense as spock's posts! LOL!!!!” 8:30:55 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Yeah, I hear Tea is doing security at the mall, now.” 8:35:47 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Where is Spock, I havent read anything from him recently or can I now pick which threads to bypass.” 8:40:20 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Shhhhhh! He'll hear you and think that it's an invitation.” 8:47:23 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Not too many brave newbies out there I guess. I will try to get the new stuff posted soon. Fritz - I believe it is spelled Maasai. My friend lived in Kenya a great part of his life. He speaks the Maa language and wrote a book titled, "Doing Theology With the Maasai" based on his doctoral dissertation. Interesting book if you are into theology.” 9:31:27 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Virginia Beach” 10:24:54 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “I'm new! I've only been here since August. I need a trail name. Do people actually let other folks pick out their name for them? Okay, maybe on an AT thru-hike, but what about everyone else?” 10:28:58 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “come on an ECT, or just join me for a hike. i'll call ya sumthin'! LOL!!!!” 10:30:47 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “i live in VA too, broken! kewl :-) Alexandria right now...grew up in Roanoke. i betcha the right name will find you, BobK! :-)” 10:32:37 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Good luck to you BobK, I'm still looking. LOL!” 10:40:43 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “oh yeah, both of you guys live in GA, right, rad and BobK?” 10:41:57 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Phil that book sounds interesting to me. Right now Im actually studying how to deal with theology with African Tribal religions and many other religions too. Fritz I made it until 5:00 I believe las night, I was not online the whole time though. When I lived in Kenya two summers ago my Kenyan friends told me I was an Albino massai. You speak Swahilli better than me it seems, and I took a course in it. There has been things you have said that I had to get out my swahilli english dictionary for!” 10:42:31 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “yeah, and by the way, where the heck did ya get "sklukaz" from, anyhoo? :-)” 10:42:43 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “I got a trail name for you sklukaz.. :)” 10:43:36 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “yes!” 10:44:02 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “Hey...More of a lurker than a newby, I've read this wacked out board for a couple years now. I've only posted a few times, usually on gear-related stuff or tunes/misc deals. And now that I think about there was a punk RA from Minnesota that got me riled up a few times. I've avoided all the insanity for the most part, and don't really even read it anymore. I backpacked a ton for the 4 years before this one, this summer I only got out on one trip -- but got 50+ days in on the river in my kayak, new obsessions are rad. Seems like most folks on here are from out East of Cali, I was kinda thinking there'd be a bunch of other Colorado kids but I guess not. Well, there you have it. See you guys on the interesting threads... fenway” 10:44:12 AM 11/07/01 RE: New People “i'm your new obsession? creepy!” 10:45:21 AM 11/07/01
