Whatever became of Oldie?

“does anyone know?”

“I remember him being in college, so always thought his name was a bit ironic. Perhaps he was an old man in college?”

“he got old.”

“Didn't he graduate? Wasn't he talking of moving out of Minn? I have wondered where he is hiding these days, too.”

“didn't he say that he'd had enough of this site?”

“He left and never came back...TWICE! I believe he did graduate and was looking into the Peace Corps. Cindy Lue would know if anyone would.”

“If he doesn't have the fortitude to stick it out here with all of us burnouts, then we are better off without him.”

“He wasnt old. He was in his twenties. He graduated from college last spring, and then worked at camp for the summer. He then came back, but soon disapeared for good. I also have been wondering what happened to him.
The same thing may happen to me some day.....”

“I thought he got gay?”

“Kidnapped by ninjas?”

“Oldie has just become an oiler for the Swiss Bikini Team
he`s furthering his education in ways he didn`t even dream
maybe not the best of pay, but he`s making the most of it
money`s not everything you know, gotta figure in the benifit”

“I have always wondered if I was ever taken away from this site, would you guys come looking for me?”

“Sorry Dan,.. it`s not odd that hikers turn up missing now and again,... they tend to just up and walk away!LOL”

“Hey Dan,.. how`s your eye doing?

Hope you get better soon!!!”

“Eye's fine, how about you?”

“I'd be doing a lot better if someone would post their password again.”

“LOL,.. you mustta talked to Lizs last night too?

I`m fine NOW, I didn`t do myself any real harm, or none lasting anyway!

I`m glad you`re better Dan!”

“Didn't Oldie run off with Rick Steadman?”

“"Whatever became of Oldie?
Has anyonme heard a thing?
Once he shone
On his own
Now he sits all alone
And waits for the phone
...to ring"

“I remember Oldie was adamant about protecting the feelings of gays and lesbians. Actually he struck me as being rather effiminate. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Actually I whole-heartedly supported his fight against the prevailing religious bigotry and ignorance-induced intolerance by the religious sheeple here. He probably got bored with this forum. After all, this is the right-wing southern-good-old-boy backpacking forum. Talk about culture clash.”

“Hey Mutt, good to see ya back. Hows the hikin been?”

“Oh yeah Mutt, its good to see ya comin back on to TT swingin at the fences....”

“Mutt said: After all, this is the right-wing southern-good-old-boy backpacking forum. Talk about culture clash.

You must have missed spock et. al.”
