Newbie Here!!!!View Messages“Hey y'all, I'm a newbie here to thebackpacker.com from reading your past threads you all don't seem to like new comers well I will try my best to fit into the culture around here. I'm just a poor inbreed hillbilly from Georgia who happened to stumble on backpacking one day and fell in love with it. Now I practically live in my van travelling around trying to find a new trail. Anyway just thought I would start off by saying hi!” 4:20:50 PM 2/06/02 “Welcome aboard! Note there's a North Ga/NC trip in mid March.” 4:22:42 PM 2/06/02 “I don't know about hiking with y'all. I'm somewhat of a loner when it comes to hikin.” 4:24:23 PM 2/06/02 “Hey whats up welcome and I hope you have a good time here on Trail Talk.....:p” 4:25:17 PM 2/06/02 “Thank ya kindly sir” 4:25:50 PM 2/06/02 “Greetings from the Northwoods. Actually I think TTers like newbies ... just have fun during the brutal initiation period and remember the phrase, "Yes sir/ma'am, I'd like one more!"” 4:31:54 PM 2/06/02 “"... happened to stumble on backpacking one day ..." thewisper 04:20:50 PM 02/06/02 so where HAVE you backpacked?” 4:34:53 PM 2/06/02 “Well I have backpacked all over Georgia and alot of North Carolina. Can't recall the names of the places I just do a lot of backpacking since I can't work because of my condition. I spend months at a time in my van travelling and hiking as I go.” 4:37:17 PM 2/06/02 “That sounds like the life...:)” 4:38:22 PM 2/06/02 “Sorry, I don't buy it. come back when you want to tell the truth. :0” 4:40:11 PM 2/06/02 “Sounds a little trollish.” 4:40:16 PM 2/06/02 “See this is what I thought would happen. From reading past posts I just knew this would happen.” 4:42:27 PM 2/06/02 “So who cares.. go away.. !.. :).. ok ok.. I will be nice.. So when you going hiking next?.. this weekend somewhere? (this is gojo, right?)” 4:44:04 PM 2/06/02 “Seems like hikers would be nice folks but for some reason this just ain't true at all. That is why I hike alone” 4:44:10 PM 2/06/02 “I think what he's getting at is that you can't work, but you can carry 25-35#'s on your back while you walk miles and miles through the woods.” 4:44:22 PM 2/06/02 “I'm sorry I do not understand your question” 4:45:04 PM 2/06/02 “Not nice, we invited you on a hike site unseen. The response was that you'd prefer not to hike with us. No problem.” 4:45:27 PM 2/06/02 “As in "...I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in..."? Can we classify trolling by its obviousness, as in which are "surface plugs," "shallow runners" or "deep divers"? ( I always figured collecting all that fishing gear would pay dividends, if only metaphorically.)” 4:45:39 PM 2/06/02 “I don't think it's gojo. Who else could it be. Hikes in GA, but doesn't remember the names of the places. I guess it could be the old dude from "A Walk in the Woods" that thru-hiked but got lost every couple of days.” 4:46:38 PM 2/06/02 “(in my best rainman voice) ya.. definitely a troll.. definitely.. and wopner comes on at 6.” 4:47:31 PM 2/06/02 “so what kind of pack u got.. sleeping bag.. do you prefer shelters or tents..” 4:49:52 PM 2/06/02 “by calling me a troll are you trying to poke some fun at me or something?” 4:50:52 PM 2/06/02 “Ya know, sometimes I feel like I'm not REAL TT'er because I've never been a troll before. Maybe I should try it. I think living up to the example Violin set a few weeks ago is what is holding me back. Nothing could compare to Rambo troll ie. Moutain Roamer” 4:51:57 PM 2/06/02 “let's get back on subject.. what kind of pack u got.. sleeping bag.. do you prefer shelters or tents..” 4:52:13 PM 2/06/02 “can't work.. backpacked everywhere.. but don't know the names of where you have been.. just a poor inbreed hillbilly from Georgia .. this is a great story line.. Can I call ya Billy Dunn for the book I am writing?” 4:54:08 PM 2/06/02 “I don't have much of a backpack just one of them old external kind not sure of the brand. I do have a Kelty Sleeping Bag and a Kelty Tent which are probably the nicest thing I own.” 4:57:54 PM 2/06/02 “I don't think I like that TownDawg fellow very much is seems like a real #&%!$!” 4:58:42 PM 2/06/02 “Yeah, you'd better watch TD. He's real brand conscious. He loves TNF and wears it where everyone can see it.” 5:00:25 PM 2/06/02 “I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) Credits: Newberry / Newberry I woke up this morning with the sun out shining in I found my mind in a brown paper bag but then I tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high I tore my mind on a jagged sky I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed in I watched myself crawling out now, as I came crawling in I got up so tight I couldn't unwind I saw so much, I broke my mind I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in Somebody painted April fool in big black letters on a dead end sign I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind Eight miles out of Memphis and I got no spare Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in” 5:00:38 PM 2/06/02 “Dawg's only act this way when the smell a rat. Right Sarabelle?” 5:01:24 PM 2/06/02 “night all.. have an appointment with my tax accountant.. have fun with our newbie.. not bad.. less than ten posts..and he already hates me. :) (Good to see I haven't lost my touch.)” 5:02:56 PM 2/06/02 “oh by the way dayhiker.. hehe.. cute.. luved that post.. you DO know me well!!!!” 5:04:06 PM 2/06/02 “Just wonderin. When you chose your name, did you mean thewhisper? How close are you to Eagle anyway?” 5:05:52 PM 2/06/02 “can't spell, maybe it's Ice Tea or poppinfresh.” 5:07:48 PM 2/06/02 “LMFAO!!!!!! Don't know the names of where I've been. Give me a F'ing break!” 5:13:25 PM 2/06/02 “Poor inbred cracker don't remember where he's been probably had some bad m'shine from a radiator coil.” 5:24:46 PM 2/06/02 “Don't know where I've been, have a condition that keeps me from work but not backpacking, won't say what that condition is. He's a super troll.” 5:31:37 PM 2/06/02 “thewisper = buddur” 5:32:30 PM 2/06/02 “Who from GA would say you all. Definately a Yankee. It's Ice Tea or I'm a monkey's uncle.” 5:39:13 PM 2/06/02 “well I s'pose there are some problems that would keep one from working and yet leave one with time and ability for hiking - drug addict, alcoholic, skitzo, paranoia, depression, extreme BO, ... however it just does not ring true - more likely unemployed by choice but living on disability payments from SS - living in a van down by the river and eating government cheese - at least I think that is the way that skit went. On the off hand possibility that thewisper is real and not a troll it is possible that the idea of hiking or at least camping with a group from here may just seem a little dangerous. To this all I can say is that I had by doubts too and I still mostly hike and camp alone BUT I have also enjoyed the few TT hikes that I have gone on and the people are a whole lot nicer in person than they come across on the forum. So there is no real reason to be concerned for one's safety. On the other hand if your name is Chip Leonard (sp?) maybe it would be a good idea to stay a loner.” 5:45:15 PM 2/06/02 “Well, c'mon guys. Missing the obvious!! Where are you posting from, thewisper? Where is your computer?” 6:40:10 PM 2/06/02 “LOL......:)” 6:49:16 PM 2/06/02 I'd Like To Chime In On Something... “I have NEVER trolled, thank you. Yet.” 6:57:16 PM 2/06/02 “...it's like putting a 'Kick Me' sign on your own back...” 7:32:53 PM 2/06/02 “LOL..........:p” 7:35:11 PM 2/06/02 “I think he's gone” 7:39:56 PM 2/06/02 “BTW, I think tahoe may have it pegged.” 7:59:15 PM 2/06/02 “I didn't even notice the you all thing. What kind of redneck Alabama boy am I if'n I didn't notice that he didn't say yall!” 8:03:24 PM 2/06/02 it needs an update but I don' thave the time “
” 8:05:01 PM 2/06/02 “ 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. PS, if there is any thing directly negitive about tarp rat in that guide, I have changed my views on him. TARPY IS THE MAN!!!” 8:07:23 PM 2/06/02
