Where the Hell are all these newbies com in' from?

“Is Matt finally advertsing on the porn sites like Rad and I suggested?”

“For me, call it a middle age thing, guess I am tired of working all the time (2 jobs) and I want to get out away from the stress and enjoy myself before I die. Whether I dayhike or backpack to me it is just getting away. I have thought and talked about hiking for the last 2 yrs and kept putting it off and now I am going to start doing it.”

“welcome newbie, be prepared to be hazed!

lol”

“"welcome newbie, be prepared to be hazed! <

Is that like purple haze :-)”

“Some of us "newbeeze" are not so new. I've been lurking for a long while. I outted myself under a different name but when Matt changed the format, I couldn't log in as my old self.”

“Ewker, I know just how you feel. Too much work and not enough play.
I have camped quite a bit, but not too much on the backpacking, mostly base camp and then do hikes, but reading about all the great trips, Im ready to take it to the next level. And I also am new to the site, have really enjoyed the threads and talking about things I really like.”

“I haven't camped since I was in the Boy Scouts and that was many,many,many moons ago. I want to get back to camping but right now just getting out in the woods sounds good.”

“I too have been lurking around here for about a year. I posted once or twice but never really introduced myself. I thought I would just try to slip under the radar and blend in. I now realize this is futile so here I am, haze away.”

“I once had a teacher who liked to pick us up by our sideburns --- what a sick puppy he was, LOL. Hey, that's one thing you shouldn't have to worry about here, *G*.”

“Well in the fall, as the weather begins to turn cooler especially at night, the fleas and ticks become more attracted to warm hosts on which they can over-winter. Oh sorry, maybe that's not the best analogy in the world. Nevermind.”

“heeheehee do i get to lead the newbies out to the woods and get um lost? hehehehehehe”

“As you all recall.. just a few months ago.. we were all lamenting.. cos we wanted some new faces.. hehe.. so you got them.. and stop your complaining.. :)”

“i lose to many guys that way....Why cant they ever keep up?”

“Vyxtryx: come hike with us next weekend.. how far are ya from Georgia?”

“im in ca :(”

“why cant you all just come out here?


THE WEST IS THE BEST”

“I'd agree with that.”

“Hey I am new.....I came from my mother and then I learned how to walk and then I learned how to go backpacking...And then I came here to TT.......:)

Happy hiking

Mike”

“Hey, we in California have our own neat set of hikers.

Where in hell do you think my Llama Ramas come from?

I live in the Sierras.
Phil is down near LA.
Dunk is from over on the central coast area.
So is Freedom, Kent, JVZ, Obi Wan Canoli, Roseymonster, Tehipite....
Oh, TONS!”

“I still wish folks would choose names that somehow indicate if they are male or female. Maybe we should all put G or B after our names. Mary (G)”

“girty (G)”

“girty (B)”

“Mel
B

This should really confuse people.”

“What?”

“Because the other message boards stink. MDSHiker(B)”

“rad (BMF)”

“Tahoe, now that is pretty clear ain't it. HAHA”

“pepsi(B)”

“iluvbackpacking (B) :}”

“My full name is tilt... Tilt... BLAM!

Does that help?”

“blam?

"boy likes a mom"?”

“More like,'what happens when Mark leans too far back in his chair.'

hmmm... that's odd...”

“Mel, does that (b) rhyme with "ditch"? 8^P”

“Sirpete (m)”

“I reckon' you'd guess me to be a feller, but in case ya don't, I yam. I'm between Sactown and San Fran, and I have no ax-seunt, hehe.”

“Biz (W)

and NO, I'm not the sensitive type

(BMF, that's funny rad)”

“vyxtryx (F)”

“it seems that they're taking over”

“Tilt,
is breeding them.”

“no,
Marvin Garden is sending them to check us out and to report back to him all the happenings on TT.”

“clones.


They are all the same, but you have to give them different names or its impossible to talk to them.”

“We really need to put up barbed wire and mine the perimeter.”

“get PS to gaurd us.
or better yet Goebeet!”

“I'm not sure that I want anyone to gaurd us. Does it hurt?”

“it darn well does

god gaurdly!”

“We were all newbies once. Some of us still are. Just warn them to watch out for Violin!”

“Oh boy - can we have another long discussion about how great it was on Trail Talk years ago before we had sign ins and everyone was cool and didn't hardly ever talk off topic?????”
