The day i quit being a lurker-Hello All

“I am a 23 year old female college student who is reletively new to the backpacking sport. I have only been backpacking for about a year now and i must say im absolutly hooked! I first became interrested when i read Bill Brysons "Into The Woods." That book planted the seed which quickly has grown into an obsession.
I had always known that backpacking was a sport since my brothers were in boy scouts growing up but untill a while ago i had always been told, and believed, that this was only a guys sport untill i met some women who did it as well.
I go backpacking as often as my busy scheduel allows now...which isnt enough. Well thats me- im glad ive found this trail talk.”

“Welcome aboard!”

“welcome to the insanity

btw who is "All" and why do you think backpacking is a sport - I don't find any real competition in the activity of backpacking just a lot of good cooperation - no competition therefore its not a sport”

“Congrats on discovering backpacking.

My condolences on discovering TT. Its addictive. Ask Ice Tea.”

“Sounds like you have enough experience to post opinions.
Hope to hear lots from you.

Welcome.”

“I just thought you all needed a good dose of sanity....so i've jumped in. watch out it may just rub off!”

“too late we are already infected - of course then there is Crazy Mike”

“Sanity? That's against the rules!
You're banned from Trail Talk!!!

8^D”

“Welcome coyote. Yeah - Bryson's book was a kick. I read it while sitting on the beach in Key Largo - dreaming of the woods. I guess you could say that book help rekindle my interest in the hobby/passion/pastime/sport.

By the way - if you hang around TT too long you'll probably pick up more 'rancid soot' than you get rid of.

Where in Cali? I'm jealous if you say FSU - so close to Yosemite.

Welcome.”

“Sorry i didnt know sanity was against the rules. Is there anything else illegal i should know about?”

“i don't believe in sanity... i wrote a story on it once... but i believe everyone has at least a little bit of insanity in them, there is no such thing as a totally sane person.”

Has anyone contacted you about the initiation rites and the potato?”

“Im attend SanFrancisco State college...I love it there”

“is that the carved potato or the uncarved potato

... poor Idaho”

“Do i even want to know what an initiation rite and a potato has in common? ~im trying so hard to keep my mind out of that dark gutter place~”

“did we forget the gauntlet? and yes, we can't forget the initiation tests”

“I think you cheated spirit! It sounds to me like you have been practicing your clever retorts before you started posting them.

;-D”

“SFSC looks like a great place to go to school. Walked by it when my wife and I were toodling about the town. Seems close to the action and the park.”

“spirit coyote-
Get in your car and drive to Idaho. Wait there. You will be contacted and given further instructions at the appropriate time.”

“Hey whats up I hope you have a good time here!!!

8)”

“ut-oh!

Houston! We have a problem!”

“What do you mean pathman? I never cheat! I just happen to always win at poker..........”

“I thought the initiation rite had something to do with Lime Green Jello!”

“o good not another namr change!!

howdy!”

“ya'll forgot about the nakid pic that she has to send to put on phil's page...or you can e-mail it to opie1979@ya....errrr Welcome to the board..even if your from the "granola" state....*mumbles*..buncha fruits, nuts, and flakes...

ohh..and this thread has 22 post and not one about boobs....soo as you know from lurking...i'm going to have to issue a citation to this thread...the fine will be that your next 3 threads must contain the words boobs, and beer.”

“Thank You Prowler.”

“'welcome... to the matrix'”

“Hey there, SF coyote. I lived in San Rafael for 9 years. Got tired of living on 101. It is nice out there. Any radicals left on campus?”

“I hope you like swimming in the TT fish tank!!!!!

“"Do i even want to know what an initiation rite and a potato has in common? ~im trying so hard to

If you want to keep your mind out of " that dark gutter place" you won't really fit in with 90% of the posters. We have had some great theories of thread degeneration that address that dark gutter place.”

“dark=good MUHAHAHA!”

“"If you want to keep your mind out of " that dark gutter place" you won't really fit in with 90% of the posters."


It is my hope that through being always happy and friendly that my diffrences will be over looked and i will be accepted. Besides who wants everone the same? I think i will enjoy being in the 10%.”

“And hopefully the typo trolls will stop pestering me!”

“just 'cause i can't type doesn't mean u can call me a troll”

“Typo trolls are little buggers who jump around on your key board adding, deleating, or rearanging neccesary letters and words as you type.”

“hmmm.... i think i saw him... he lives underneath my key board”

“Sniff,sniff... I smell some new panties lurking about. Now tell me what you're wearing!”

“You don't know it but i just slapped your face hard enough to send you to the moon.”

“There are a couple of other guys that need to take a trip to the moon. Just wanted you to keep the left palm ready.”

“OhHHHHHH!!!! me me me!
pick me PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Back off Dirtyoldman. She's not done with me yet.”

“you might as well give up trying to pass your sanity off on us. We don't want it, don't need it and surely don't believe in it. And as for backpacking being a sport, its not, its a way of life! And really, what kind of panties are you wearing, inquiring and degenerative minds don't want to know, we neeeeeeeeeeeed to know...tell Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

Welcome to the reality that is based more on fantasy than fantasy is to reality. I think Dr. Funkenstien said that reality is nothing more than fantasy that has been actualized. So get out and make your fantasy become real...wear a thong...I'm not quite sure where I was going with this thought, so I'll just run along and play with my gear...bye.”

“naw - I bet she goes commando”

“*opie pictures HOI leaned back by the fire...an unusual hush falls over the group of gathered TT'ers....then...from the edge of the shadows.... HOI speaks up* "nah....i bet she goes commando"...


----Me personally..if i heard him say that in real life..i'd fall in the fire...I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!”

“HI S.C...welcome.”

“S.C., greetings from the Great North Woods of Wisconsin, where the coyotes have not yet been suburbanized and Coyote is still known to be a trickster.

Spent some time as a toddler in S.F. and few months again in the 70s. And lo, tho the Mother Earth doth smite the City by the Bay with a great shaking, again and again, it doth rise and bear fruit(s) and (Nash) bridges once more.”

“Welcome Spirit Coyote...how long did you lurk before you signed in?

I signed in 5 minutes after I found this site...I didn't even bother to think of a cool trail name.”

“Paging Mr. Thinair,,,,,,Paging Mr Thinair. You are wanted front and center.

You two definitely need to meet.

Do you have bubbly handwriting? Like OMYGOD are you for real?”

“Two words: goat's blood”

“Hi Spirit Coyote!!”
