ok lets try this...

“hey, i got ripped off!

it was sposed to say

this is $hit

that is shinola.”

“Delusional, that's it.”

“Ok, well...

Most people.”

“I've learned a whole lot of bping stuff and I hope to learn more. Also, I learned about how crazy people interact in a virtual community. Also, I learned who the one woman in the world was that could take on Tarprific . . . Lyra. Also, I learned how much I love old, bitter men . . . like Bacpac. Also, I learned that dogs can type . . . like Sarabelle. Also, I learned that Phil may be the closest I'll ever come to interacting w/ James Bond. Also, you get the point.”

“I've learned there are more good people here than not-good people, I've learned there are people willing to spend time to help a complete stranger be better able to do something he/she enjoys, I've learned there are people willing to give away gear to someone they have never met(and sometimes even pay shipping!!) that they could easily sell, just because their heart is good, I've learned that people can be accepting and helpful to others even when there opinions and principles vary widly, I've learned tons of how-tos, where-tos, when-tos, and even a few why-tos, AND I've had ample helpings of that single most delectable culinary treasure on earth (OK maybe second most delectable).....Food-for-thought.
Thanx Ya'll”

“I love to give away my old gear here for free!

So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

You crack-head!

8p”

“I've learned that I can backpack with a group of total strangers and have a great time. Scully has taught me that, if I ever go to a full length sleeping pad, the Therm A Rest LE is the way to go. (OK everbody, in unison, "L-E!, L-E!, L-E!...)












Speaking of strangers, how'd the trip to Virgin Falls turn out there, Searcher? I'm thinking of taking Ma Goose out there in a couple of weeks.”

“Mother Goose and Virgin Falls, OK!”

“Hmmm, you could be right there, Geezr. Maybe I should leave her home. Do ya suppose there are any virgins left at Virgin Falls?”

“Lets hope there's more vigins than Crazy Mikes!”

“Amen to that. BTW, what's a vigin?Is that one of them thar critters what don't eat meat?”

“Ok, I'm off to dayhike up to Basin Lakes. I know I'm going to hit snow at 8000' but at least I'll be out. Too nice of a day to sit around Billings. Plus I have to work off last nights DQ blizzard.

Speaking of mmmmgood!”
