Identity Crisis

“Big Foot is the TT poet;
Violin is the HTML wizard;
Dunadan is the haiku master;
(sorry Violin, you can't have two)
Rad is the funniest;
Newgirl is the most mysterious;
Not sure who is the smartest
But I know it isn't me;
bpbaby is the sweetest;
SnowNymph gets out the most;
Gear Slut has the most gear
(I dunno, I made that one up;)
Pekka has the most impekkable grammar;
Lizs is the best photographer;
Buddur most resembles a deceased C&W singer
(Sorry Buddur, you're more cool than that
but I am starting to reach,
in case you hadn't noticed;)
bacpac is the most cantankerous
(if that isn't a word, it should be;)
Naviguesser has the coolest trail name
Or maybe wolfsister does
But certainly Fritz doesn't;
Lipstick hiker has the most hair;
RichB has the most resilience;
Splash is the most-improved backpacker;
Phil is the most loved;
Spock is the most hated...

I discovered TT too late,
there are no good roles left for me....”

“If you continue to besmirch my character you be known as mud.”

“Yeah well, I've been around for years and apparently there aren't any for me either! *Snif* ~:o(

You've broken my heart Fritz. I feel so sad and lonely.”

“I'm the cartoon character~<%^>”

“Oh, Sass...I am so sorry. It's just that I barely know you. Please don't cry.

{{hugs{}}}”

“I won't if you let me paint your toenails if I ever hike with you. ;O)”

“Um...OK, just promise not to cry...”

“...unless it makes you feel better...”

“Fritz A$$ kisser is the roll that fits you best”

“Slappy, you're probably right, but you'll never be so lucky. ;-)”

“How cool is that,... I got on the list, I do more poetry, but many here are much better than I ever will be!

Still,... Thanks for thinking it!LOL”

“Gear Slut Identity Crisis = online male or female???”

“online 'mo.”

“Fritz speaks Swahili. Therefore he is the most loved by all of the African TTers.”

“I think I'm me.”

“You forgot me Fritz. I have the LEAST amount of hair. (now why the hell did I admit to that?)”

“You've always got a hat on in your pics!

So, the pieces fall into place...

Actually, I am barely getting to know the crowd here. I did think of you but couldn't think of a category/role/distinction to give to you.

I'll make it a point to include you in my next list.

Hey! Matter of fact, I already did! See the "Real TT'ers" thread.... ;-)”

“Oh, and AG....thanks so much, every vote counts!

Mungu Hakubariki”

“Spock=Nutsac=Tarpy

case closed”

“I don't think so. Tarpy liked guns and hated communists.”

“Can anyone pull up some classic Tarpy threads where he was talking about poppin you with his Baretta? That musta been before my time on TT and I'd like to read some of that. Too bad Tarp Rat ain't round here no more.”

“Kewl! I made it on a list! And its a good thing!”

“Tarp Rat was talking about cap'n someone's @ss? Who???

I just heard he hikes with a bivy, tarp, TNF boots, TNF pack, Gaz stove, and the gun.”

“There is one more unfilled role on TT, and Fritz is going to fill that role:

The most toenail-painted backpacker, courtesy of Sassafras. (Are you sure you want to get that close to a backpacker's feet?)”

“He was a big anti-communist and bought Chinese mfg'd gear?

That'd be like B. Bear owning a French stove.”

“Nigel brought it up recently, ragging Tarp for how he used to rant about how he's gonna pop everyone's ass with his piece. Anyone remember the thread(s)?”

“Sure, Fritz, there's a role left for you.

You can be me.”

“Splash - my feet may be ugly but they don't stink.

Mel - I'm intrigued. Is there a manual that comes with that role? It sounds complicated. Also, do I have to smoke cigars???”

“Just pick who you want to be, and do it! LOL”

“And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are”

“I yam what I yam and that's all that I yam!!”

“('cause I eats me spinach!)”

“If I have a cool name, does that mean I AM cool? 8^)”

“Well, it's probably a non-sequiter, but...OK, yes, it means you are cool.

In fact....way cool!”

“be yourself....by yourself”

“Tex - planning on having some yams for Thanksgiving?”

“Sometimes I wish I could be more like me!”

“I feel left out.
:@(”

“Walkindude: TT's fastest hiker

Feel better dude?”

“Thanky!
:@)”

“Yeah, what LeSubtil said. Be yourself. You might turn out to be smart, cute, funny, or . . . mysterious. I had no idea I was until I was just being me! Hehehe!”

“Sasafrass = Joy

I just now found that out. When did you change your name?”

“do I dare ask what I am?”

“Oh about a month ago. Pay attention Dude!!! :o)”

“I figured you were just taking a break from TT.”

“Dude, A month ago, get a clue. Expect a new name tomorrow. I don't understand, 'identity crisis' either, but it seems to happen alot.”

“You missed me didn't cha? Admit it!!!! ;O)”

“I hope I never have an "identity crisis". I've walkindude for the whole 2 years I've been on TT.
I've used it as a trail name for about 7 years now.”

“Hey it just took me awhile longer than the average TTer to find my trail name. It's no fun using your given name!”

“Walkindude is my given name.
Walkin Dude Moore

I sometimes just go by my middle name, Dude”
