Hello - New Here

“Hi. I’m new to thebackpacker.com (actually kind of new to this country) and thought I’d start off with a hello.”

“Welcome to the funny farm.”

“Hello and welcome. Lots of good people here, lots of silliness, too. If you need backpacking information, search past threads, then post specific questions.

Have fun!”

“Does the P stand for Pick up?”

“HAHAHAHA geobeet!”

“I take it the P stands for Picoup? Picoup Andropoff the Russian chauffeur for click and clack at Car Talk Plaza. I listen to Car Talk. Nice name but the fact that you say you are new to the country smells like troll to me. Who are you really?”

“Man, I need to get out in the woods. To much work and not enough woods. Welcome to our nick of the woods P Andropoff.”

“hay how come he doesnt have to tell a joke???

:(”

“I think I'm goin CRAZY.”

“I can help remove the element of doubt DD. If you're posting on this site, you are crazy.”

“Just one of those days Geobeet after a long week. Wish I was back up Cranberry now.”

“That's the problem DD, we're all where we don't belong. See what happens when people take furry critters out of the woods?”

“Geobeet and mtn gal are most perceptive. They must have been aware of my long incarceration as a Soviet dissident. I credit the fine people of America for freeing me. I understand that there were literally thousands of signs across this great land reading: Free Pickup Andropoff!”

“Didn't you rule the U.S.S.R. a few decades ago?”

“I think "P(ickup) Andropoff" might fit in here, even if he/she is paid by Click & Clack.”

“What gave it away Pickup was the way you spelled your last name. It should have been Andropov, and yes Buddur, Andropov was indeed the Soviet big kahuna. He was an ex-KGB type and he cooperatively died after being in office only a short time.
And yes Mtn Gal, Click and Clack the Tappet brothers was the source of Pickup Andropoff. Love those crazy guys.
Were you listening the day the astronauts called in from the space shuttle several years ago and were trying to explain their vehicle to Tom and Ray? That was a Car Talk classic.”

“I'm so embarrassed. Duped. Scammed. Tricked, fooled. Sucked in. Bamboozled.

A little too hasty in my kindness.

Oh well...”

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

8)”

“That's classic.”

“LMFAO!”

“I'm a little late....welcome aboard P.A.”

“I thought for a second we actually had somebody new from another country, thought it was pretty cool, but guess not”

“soooo... reports of your untimely demise were somewhat premature?


I think the headline in the Post was

REDSKY DEADSKY!”

“Those who got taken in should not feel too bad. You have to be an NPR junkie and CarTalk geek to have picked up on that one.”

“Finally I'm rested, after chasing you all 5 miles back to the pole.”

“Hello. I'm new here.”

“wank off newbie!”
