Ok I'm New

“That is why I hold up my tale.”

“I walked nekkid to. Then I got a pakpak tho. I still walk nekkid some times tho.”

“.”

“If I have to walk naked can I at least wear boots?”

“(SIGH) Ok I'm borrowing gear from my boyfriend and going hiking with my first cousin. IS that cleared up for you now?”

“!”

“Hello blistered. Welcome to TT! I hope you have gotten some useful info, amidst all the standard mindless drivel. :-)”

“?”

“Thank you Fritz. So far I have learned (especially about duct tape)and I'm even enjoying the mindless drivel a little.”

“Just so long as your boyfriend isn't your first cousin.

Unless he plays banjo.”

“Ok, the next thing you'll need to learn once you've returned from your first outing, is how to post that photo of you wearing nothing but hiking boots.

Trust me, we'll all be here to help.”

“Why does it matter if someone is gay when they go on a TT trip? I thought this was all about backpacking? Or are you just a bunch of gay bashers?”

“#”

“Just a note...your homepage link thingy on your profile isn't working.”

“I think most people on this site like happy people who hike.

Except maybe Bacpac...”

“Can I believe what I read posted here? Is there a lot of jumping into sleeping bags that you didn't start out in while on the trail?”

“I wouldn't know...”

“lizzy2, no there isn't. It is all talk.”

“I generally prefer to use my bag only. Other people might become annoyed if they found you in their bag.”

“Blistered, that's because I don't have a homepage.

Here's my Photo Link”

“Musical bags anyone?”

“Unfortunately there Are a few gay bashers around here. Francophobes, too. And if you're Gay, French and don't like Cheetos, you're in Trouble.”

“So a single gay female wouldn't find someone trying to convert her while out on a TT trip? I am nervous about being around all this pent-up testosterone.”

“Welcome to TT!

I hope you enjoy your stay!

8P”

“!?”

“What the hell happened around here while I was busy today?”

“O”

“All the things that happen on TT!

8)”

“Just the Standard Stuff, Pathdude, <G>.”

“Guess they get excited when they see someone new in here.”

“lizzy2, I can say with some confidence that TTers are equal opportunity offenders. This, based on years of behavioral study and research.
;p

Welcome, Blistered! Have a great time. Play the "newbie" card for as long as you can, because eventually you're gonna have to carry your own crap.

For now, play off all of that useful-at-times testosterone and make him be the pack mule. That's what I do. ;)

Trust me on this. He'll appreciate you being refreshed and energized at the end of a long hiking day.
heheheh
;p
BTW, first cousin is only legal in 'Bama, unless once removed.”

“(grumbles) MY BF is not MY COUSIN!

But for those of you who do date your cousins here are some simple guidlines:

The Redneck Guide to Dating Etiquette
by Sandy Lindsey

1. Do not enter your date in a female mud-wrestling contest without asking her permission.
2. Do not refer to your hunting dog as "the other woman in your life."

3. Do not mention your UFO abduction experiences until at least the third date.

4. Do not expect a woman wearing a dress to be happy about climbing into a truck with tires that are taller than she is. Be sure to warn her to wear jeans.

5. Your favorite faded Dukes of Hazard t-shirt should be saved for the fifth or more date, unless, of course, it's the only clean shirt you have.

6. If the woman drives, never, ever try to get away with spitting tobacco down the side of your seat on the hope that she won't notice. She's not like your slobbering fishing buddies, so you must always roll down your window when you need to spit.

7. Never compare her figure to that of a Coors can, even if you're trying to tell her that she's real sleek.

8. Deep Woods Off! is not a substitute for deodorant.

9. Never tell a woman straight out that you can't have her name tatooed on you because your Mom, who is so proud of your bicep bearing her name, would be psychotically jealous.

10. Do not invite a woman to go cow-tipping if she's wearing high heels.

“Why is it that all the newbies instantaneoulsy know that they're 'new,' car camping is nerdy and post like pros?

Uh. Troll”

“p.s. women don't call them 'women days' men do.

A woman refers to it as PMS. P-M-S. See, we are not afraid of it. We also call it 'that day that men are idiots.'”

“Biz, you say that day as if you are only referring to one...”

“Ahhhh, Biz is back. What happened to your leg, bizzzzzzzz?”

“Hey, what up with all this men bashing?

SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT!!”

“Whoa now I see why you all warned me about some of these posters...

Chill Biz”

“Yeah :) Let's get on with the female mud wrestling!”

“Weezr, says men are ALWAYS idiots and I say, Women are from Venus and men don't give a $hit.”

“Blistered - I bet you didn't expect this much response in just one day, did you?

whisper: you're doing a great job at putting up with the hazing. stick around, it'll thin out after a while.”

“Blistered - I don't think you said where abouts you're located..... Warning... There may be TTers right in your neighbourhood!!”

“Artex, way to suck up. GRIN”

“Ah well, I try.. :-)”

“You want to jump in her sleeping bag too? I hear you had quite the experience in Montana! I hear you are quite the stud!”

“Well I live in Roseville Ca”

“blistered.....get good socks....and a good liner sock....a good liner sock would be something that wicks....and go get you a couple of pairs of socks called smartwools.....NO COTTON clothing of any kind....then you won't get blisters....don't skimp on the socks....if your feet feel good you'll have a good time...good luck”

“Thanks bbinkly”

“Ur just around the corner from me...”

“Come on, you know everyone wants to know!”
