“After spending many years in the woods on overnight trips and reading commentary of fellow backpackers at TT and other websites I have found the solution for backpacker’s number one problem. After a hard day at work most American come home and connect to their TI720 (the most common model among Americans by 85%) and release any built up tension that was cause by staring at a computer screen for too long or what ever. But most backpackers neglect to massage their eye whites and their optic nerves, because the TI720 is just too large to carry and the EGK 900 is still to big and even less effective. Yet, in the backcountry it is even more of a necessity to maintain good eye posture and healthy eye whites. For when you hike, the eyes tent to look around more, whether it be for rocks not to trip over, or a rampaging bear coming down the path. Lets face the facts, if you don’t take care of your eyes in the woods your oblemzatmine may be come disconnected and who knows what will happen then. If you are not using the TI720 or the EGK 900, what are you using? I have come up with an innovation on the TI720 building on the concepts of the EGK 900. All that you need can be found in the common household. A plastic spoon, a sponge (preferably none latex based, but if it has any soma in it that wont due either) and a turkey baster (the thing that you suck up the juice from a turkey and spray over the bird when it is in the oven), and 2 oz of crazy glue some duct tape. Directions are as follows: Directions: Duct tape the baster to the spoon in a parallel fashion with the squirting end start of the bowl in the spoon. Trim down the sponge to fit easily in the bowl part of the sponge. Make sure that the sponge is exactly 1/32 of an inch for any lack of precision this tool will leave your oblemzatmine in disarray. Then crazy glue the sponge to the bowl part of the spoon. To use your new TK 3000 just apply it to the back of your eye like the TI720 except for squishing the baster to get full suction. I hope this gear innovation will help you just as much as it has helped me. My eyes feel so much better when I hike now” 8:58:07 PM 9/02/02 “I tried your idea, and now my oblemzatmine is all messed up!!! I'm going to sue you!!” 6:15:05 AM 9/03/02 “Maybe you didn't follow the correct procedure to construct your TK300” 9:06:55 AM 9/03/02 “Am I the only one that feels like a lost ball in high weeds? WFT is Tea talking about???” 9:19:48 AM 9/03/02 Isn't LSD illegal? “Are you sure you had that right, tea? My oblemzatmine is all gooey now and won't gel up.” 10:00:10 AM 9/03/02 “Whadda' Fa'? Tea, did you decide to try a new recreational product this wkend? A little Mary-Jane perhaps?” 11:24:05 AM 9/03/02 “This is Tea's revenge for our kidding him about his spelling. Now we have no idea if he's kidding, or just misspelling the words...” 11:25:41 AM 9/03/02 “Yeah. I think he tried to write a trip report about his hike down Route 17 to Dunkin Donuts but he spelled every word wrong and it came out like this.” 11:32:01 AM 9/03/02 “Something skeery anyway. Why don't you try getting some sleep Tea, okay.” 11:43:50 AM 9/03/02 “I don't do drugs.” 2:30:38 PM 9/03/02 “So your excuse is?...” 2:42:11 PM 9/03/02 “they do him?” 2:44:17 PM 9/03/02 Are you saying... “Tea was 'tabbed'?” 2:45:34 PM 9/03/02 “??? the plot thickens... recent Tarpy quote: "But what if it makes us paranoid???" (eyes darting from side to side) LOL!” 2:49:58 PM 9/03/02 “"They do him." - Lyra LOL! Tea can't handle his stuff, man! LOL! I'm only kidding you Tea-Baby. I respect that you aren't doing drugs. Good work. Keep it up and your spelling might improve.” 2:52:36 PM 9/03/02 “Maybe I was just feeling a little mixed up ”3:43:44 PM 9/03/02 Oops! “It wasn't suposed to get that big. [in a Homer Simpson vioce] "Doght'"” 3:46:05 PM 9/03/02 3:56:46 PM 9/03/02 “ 4:00:17 PM 9/03/02 “What happen to that pic? Tilt you messed it all up” 5:02:38 PM 9/03/02 “This thread sucks.” 5:13:08 PM 9/03/02 “I Did Not, LOL” 5:13:27 PM 9/03/02 “Son, there are some things that you just should not attempt until you get older. Everyone knows that until you're over 21, your oblematzine is not stable enough for any kind of manipulation. Sorry that you had to find this out the hard way. This might explain your spelling challenges. So, just go back to manipulating what every young man manipulates constantly, and leave your oblematzine alone, for now.” 5:28:25 PM 9/03/02 “Ice Tea + proofreading = Marvin Gardens? Bizarro mon.” 5:34:40 PM 9/03/02 “I've been called Marvin Gardens before, I think that insults us both.” 6:26:25 PM 9/03/02 “Don't be slammin Mg- We are all from the Northern Hemisphere-what else do you expect?” 6:55:17 PM 9/03/02 “Yeah!” 10:45:40 PM 9/03/02
