Saturday Night At The Fights

“Welcome sport fans. Tonight's championship bout here at the Coliseum promises to be a real thriller. It's a sell-out crowd and they're all anxious for the main event, which is coming up next. The reigning champion, The Mighty Thrasher, Aero, will be defending his title against the challenger, The Giant Puffer, Prowler. Neither of these outstanding, popular athletes really needs an introduction.

Outside the coliseum I saw TownDawg. He was selling raffle tickets for a date with SmokeyGirl. Bpbaby was standing beside her motorcycle, where she was trying to unload her remaining ECT Patches. I saw Wild Flower. She was chasing some guy down the street who was trying to sell an inflatable kayak. Tilt was on the sidewalk urging people to "keep looking up," that our future is in the stars. The police sent away some guy wearing an aluminum hat. They were afraid he would use it to reflect light into the fighters' eyes.

The prefight interviews in the locker rooms a few minutes ago were interesting. The champion, Aero, appears to be in prime condition. He said that he trains hard on mountain backpacking trails. "Any youngster who thinks he can overtake me is in for a surprise." About the challenger, he declared, "He'll be so doped that I'll take him out quickly."

Across the way the challenger, Prowler, displayed confidence. "I found some new herbs that have increased my strength, notibly. And, they're legal!" As he went on ranting about what he was going to do to the Champion, I observed a discarded, empty bottle of milk-of-magnesia. Watch for a lot of movement in this fight.

Between rounds we have a crowd pleaser. Newgirl, a candidate for TT'r of the Year award, will be parading around the ring showing the Round Numbers as well as other things.

A lot of people from Trail Talk are in the coliseum. TxWoodswoman is close to the ring, ready to help anyone injured. Phil is at ringside with his camera. Dirtyoldman is out there working the crowd selling TT T-shirts. GoJo is missing from the crowd. Security refused to believe that Sarabelle is a seeing-eye dog. Pedxing is at ringside. He said that he would never miss a possible bashing. He brought a towel and said, "I'm looking for red meat!"

There is a whole section of folks from Trail Talk. Going across a row I recognize Pamster, Father Goose, mtnman, Pathman, donman, Ewker, chili36, stikmon, Briar Rabbit and le Subtil. Somewhere in the crowd, disguised, are bacpac, Gear Slut and skullcap. Hey, there is a disturbance over there. Roseymonster had to dodge some spit, while walking down the aisle. He made it past OK and I see my assistant there, What happened, AdakHiker? "Nowslimmer, I just questioned the man. He is a bench warmer from NY. He is mad because roseymonster has been letting his dog do his thing right near the bench. And he said, 'The other day he put the dogcrap in the trashbarrel right by my head. How would you like to smell something like that near your pillow?'" Across the aisle seated next to Evergreen, a man declared, "THAT GUY HAS A MAJOR MALFUNCTION!" Gotta go, Adak, but suggest to him that he report roseymonster to the police. This sounds like a good case for chili36.

There, in the next row, I see the snow folks, bitpusher, radagast, Dunadan, JOSH MAN, J0SH, gforce and treebait. Across the aisle is Humanpackmule with about 30 boyscouts. He always takes the scouts with him so that he can enter at a reduced, group rate. Continuing, there is lyra, Geezr, Biz, Geobeet, and donman. Violin is here as someone, but I'm not sure who. I saw his newly designed TT T-shirt being worn by Smiley girl. Seated further back are more TTers, Birch, Sassafras, baume 66, Big Coop, the flatlander, OM, OPIE, walkindude, Hodgeman of BC, pepperDog, tango, Wind Walker, gordon and Fritz. In another section Buddur is sitted with a group I don't recognize. They are all taking notes.

The rest of you, I see you there, but the fighters have entered the ring. The referee, Buddha Bear, is finishing his instructions. He motions for them to shake with their gloves, but they refuse. Boy, this is going to be a real fight! But what's this??? Prowler opened his mouth and blew a puff of smoke into Aero's face. Prowler must have inhaled something before entering the ring. Aero is fit to be tied. He is mad! Getting smoke in his face was not in his fight plan. There's the bell! They both rush out swinging and hitting and hitting. It looks like they each want a quick knockout. Wow, a solid right by Prowler, a left to the body and a right hook to the head by Aero. I sure would not want to be hit by either of these guys. They're each holding their ground in the center of the ring, slugging it out hard. What a fight. But wait! A low blow by Aero has Prowler doubled over. He's hurt, but he hangs on. He won't be using that equipment for a while. Now they're both swinging again, but look. The crowd is mad, they're on their feet. Dirtyoldman drops his TT T-shirts and heads for the ring. I hear lizs, "this all is making me soooooooooooo sick!" And now the crowd is headed for the ring. It's getting wild, it's a pandemonium in here. Pedxing is climbing over the ropes and Artex is in the ring. What the ?





















The lights went out. Matt, the WebMaster, pulled the main circuit breaker. So, I guess that's it, folks. The fight is over. Please be careful on your way out.

“At least you are KNOWN! DOM.”

“I notice you have Me & Tango seperated. Probably a wise Idea.
LMAO!!!!!

“Too much, 'Slimmer!

(there but for the grace of Marvin go I)”

“LMAO NS, that rocked!

BTW - when the lights went out, crazy mike bit both of thier ears off, so I had to disqualify them both.”

“LMFAO!!!!!

And if I must say the ears did not taste that good.

8D”

“Possibly due to excess earwax, Mike.


For his excellent astutity in promotion of this wonderful edeavorance, I nominate Nowslimmer as the Don King Of Trail Talk.

Concomitant with this eventualitude your hair may be declared a Superfund Site, but small price to pay, eh?


ONLY IN AMERICA!”

“[blushing] Gee Tilt, thanks, I think.
Yes, that would be a very small price, unless you can accept hair from places other than my scalp.”

“Great Job NS. I'll keep my medical bag handy just in case..

Ears?? Wrap them in a towel and put them in a bag with ice! We can re-attach them!!

Save the ears!!

Tex”

“Ya the wax did not taste that good!

8D”

“Dude, that was hilarious! Absolutely classic! Good stuff, Nowslimmer!”

“Toooooooooooooooooooo funny!! ("No longer sick" lizs”

“We cudda used this story around the non-campfire Saturday night!

Great one NS, ROFLMFAO and holding my sides!”

“Way too funny to read on a monday morning with coffee in my hand.”

“Gee thanks ns, now I have to call the IT geeks to come up here and clean the coffee off of the laptop.

How do I explain that I spewed it out while reading a TT thread?”

“Gee, I don't know, chili36. I thought lawyers were supposed to be able to explain things like that.”

“Easy chili, plead the 5th!”

“Uh, gee Kevin, really,,,,, I don't know how that coffee got spewed....”

“Just tell them you turned everything on and it worked, so you were so amazed you spewed your coffee.”

“LOL geo,,,it would be amazing if there were no problems during the day”

“Yeah, they'd probably figured out that you were lying right away. "Hey man, our softwear don't never work nohow. You bin reading Trail Talk again, haven't you!"”

“OOh chili- laptop cleaning! Is it handicap-accessible?”

“LMAO @treebait. Good one!”

“Kewl fight scene nowslimmer!”

“Jeez...I didn't even make it into the crowd!”

“Things are so slow tonight, I've been reminiscing.”

“hee hee...”

“It is so quiet I thought I'd look back at some livelier times.”

“Thanks nowslimmer. But I'm still jealous ya'll are on a trail somewhere without me! ;O)”

“Thanks, Pamela, but I'm not on a trail. I wanted to hike for some conditioning, of which I need a lot, but I did not get to it. Then I was going to attend Trail Days this weekend, and I cancelled. So I'm still at home trying to get ready for a long, car-trip with a daughter and granddaughter. I'm trying to get out of it. So I made an appointment to see my cardiologist. I guess I'm hoping that he will tell me not to go because of my poor condition. I alerted my daughter yesterday evening that my plans included trying to convince the doctor to order me not to go! Anyway, I am not on a trail. I have become an old man before my time.”

“This one is probably the best of Nowslimmers work.”

“It's cool, but didn't he admit he borrowed the concept? It's not really his work if I understand it correctly.”

“On TT, plaigerism counts.”

“LOL
good thread”

“On TT, plaigerism counts.

True!”

“It's not Plagiarism, since I gave a credit.

"1. the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work."

The only thing copied was an idea. I had to make the inserts and some of the organization myself plus insert the details.”

“Ok, good point, NS.

On TT, the unauthorized use of anothers work is not only acceptable, but is encouraged.”

Great artists steal.'”
