“As posted on backpacker.com

I've stayed away from this stale, useless, wannabe website for 2 years because I knew it was lacking the cutting edge conversations on backpacking that I was looking for. Today, I was forced to waste my time and sign up to defend a brother of mine from the only true forum for backpacking on the internet (you know who we are). Now I know that some of you regulars here are decent folks, and the rest of you are anal retentive, getting tripped in the lunch-line, non-hiking, wedgie recipients, who have nothing better to do than gently stoke your latest peice of precious, unused gear, while fantasizing about something Captain Kirk did on Star Trek 20 years ago. I speak to the former. Come and join a cool site, where wit, charm, and real life backpacking experiences dominate. Eventhough you may be a philanthropist, there is no reason to hang here with the rest of these pathetic, thumb sucking, bed wetting loosers. We may not NEED you, like the maggots here, but you would compliment the best backpacking website on the planet. In conclusion, the men of thebackpacker.com are long on wares, last all night, and leave a smile on every ladies face. Our women are hot, smart, and know how to treat a man.

If you want to be a part of the backpacking genetic pool that Darwin said wouldn't last, stay here, have fun, and get ready to wipe the "lunch ladies" special off of your face. The rest of you better know that if you insult one of our own, you can expect for the aplpha males and females to: quote "bring the smackdown" on you.

Adios, my last post in looserville.

“HE SHOOTS HE SCORES!”

“Great post, Buddha. I have to catch up on what's going on....”

“can I get a link to the page that you posted that on. I would like to back you up.”

“hey hiker90210. You seem to talk like one of the minions of the Dark Lord...you have envoked one of his greatest powers...envy and ego. You use your hiking abilities to put other down in an endeavor to make yourself feel superior to others...this is a sure sign that you are in league with the Dark Lord.

You will have to be vanquished and destroyed. I challenge you to a duel of hiking sticks...you shall feel the rath of the keeper of the light of Vishnu, the holder of the Flame of Arnor...you shall rue the day that you choose to attack a fellow wizard from the school of Trail Talk...we shall descend down upon you and expose your miserable soul to the power of the light...you shall perish by your own vileness, your own evil shall engulf you and send you back to the dark places, reeling in pain and defeat...flee now, while you may...you miserable miscreant and tell your master that we are coming and he should be afraid, very afraid, and judge not my School of Magic, nor my companions who stand by my side in the battle against the evil that you represent.


The Magical School of Trail Talk Strikes a second blow to the enemy.”

“stikmon, you scare me bro!

lol!”

“Buddha Bear, my brother of another mother, that was one heckuva post! Dude, you rule. Corporal Nasty is a great guy, I've had the pleasure of hiking with him several times. I'm going to have to do something similiar to honor my fellow Northman. You've raised the bar for sticking up for those on TT, and for that, my friend, I salute you.”

Now that's an impressive piece of work.

I guess you showed them who are the intellectual giants.”

“nah - that was the males pi$$ing contest part of the rant, juvenile, yet absolutely essential to get the point across.”

“are my ememies too...”

“Did you tell them about me? That would make them shudder.”

“I promis I will run my #&%!$ing through a spell checker”

“What would they do with Spock or Marvin Gardens?”

“that was hilarious. buddha bear, dude you're too much.”

“That was Awesome dude!!!”

“Buddha Bear Rant


Don't Feed the Trolls Spinoff”

Lay down the law, Budda

Bacpacker mag kicks major A, but this trail talk page has as much life in it as the bear shìt stuck to the bottom of my boot.

“Good post buddha!! That site does suck.”

“Buddha Bear, who was the brother you were forced to defend?

Anybody giving odds on whether the people who oversee the backpacker.com site will leave up your rant when they wake up on the west coast, and turn on their computer after watching a talk show on TV?”

“for Nigal

"Now I know that some of you regulars here are decent folks"

I was speaking to you in code.”

“Yo Tea, your spelling on that last post was impeckabul.”

Backpacker Mag totally sucks dude. I'm was glad my subscription finally ran out!”

“So is this the same prosecutor who was the subject from the thread with Corporal Nasty on "the other site?"

Or are there two? Inquiring minds want to know.....”

“LEAVE THE OTHER SITE ALONE YOU DOUCHE BAGS, who cares about them

RE: CORP NASTY'S FIRST POST, LET ME TRANSLATE IT FOR YOU...
WHAAAAAAAaaaaaa WHAAAAAAAaaaaa (cryin' like a baby)
that translater means...”

“that translated means...

Whiiiiiiiine Whiiiiiine”

“hilarious, i like it when i'm told i leave smiles on the ladies' faces.”

“Why do I suspect alcohol was involved??? BB, I think they already axed your post dude,,,,”

“That'll be funny. All the spinoff troll threads, and any latecomer will be clueless at to what started them.”

“lol, yep they axed it. It was there earlier this morning, but it's gone now...”

“I choose not to get involed with this. last time I had "someone" peek over my shoulder and comment on something I said here from the "other side"
I dont think its fair. Ive said it before and Ill say it again.
I like BOTH sides.”

“I JUST HATE THE TROLLS, THATS WHAT MAKES THIS AND OTHER BOARDS SUCK SOMETIMES”

“Not to distract from all the chest beating and muscle flexing (suck it in a little BB . . you're looking a little too much like your namesake to present an intimidating picture)

Anyhoo . ..


Ya know . . .I follow your links to the OTHER site with the best intention of ranting and raving and defending honor etc.

BUT

The site is virtually unreadable. What is with the FORMAT?? The discussion "trees" are bizaar . . .even trying to view the thread as a whole is difficult. Is it just me??

I tried to follow Corpl. Nasty's Webshots battle vs Prosecutor . . . but I never did find a message responding to Corp. Nasty's original post from Prosecutor. I saw a lot of Monty Python stuff . . .but no contreversial things . . .have they all been deleted?

I have tried three or four times, but for the life of me . . .i can't figure out how to read that GD mess.”

“I'm with you lee.”

“Great rant BB! Those fascist censors over there won't be able to erase your message fast enough.

My TT brothers and sisters: Copy and paste BB's original post 'over there' whenever they delete it. Their lameness will always be on display - they will have to embrace it. (I'd suggest a link back here for those able and willing to leave Pleasantville.)”

“Well I had to post it again. They are really protecting the hothouse flowers from BBs hurtful words.”

“Too funny!”

“Why bother? Let them eat cake!”

“They deleted that one too! This time I posted it on 'Thanks Prosecutor!', 'Backpacker.com Forums Award' and 'If you could live anywhere, where would you choose?'

How long before I get banned (as if I cared)?”

“This is too funny- BB, your rant is a masterpiece-
You know, that was my first real post over there, and I was just amazed by the violent reaction to it, threats of thread deletion and all that. MY POST WAS TAME, for the love of god. No, I don't take any of it personally, I was just surprised there are that many people over there who seemed so damn offended by it. Is it just me, or would they go blind if they came here and read any given one of our threads?”

“They'd go blind...”

“What was the prosecutor's comment in your guest book anyway, Cpl. Nasty?”

“Hehe! I'm still tickled by that chick that posted a link so everyone would know what a troll was.”

“There are definitly a few putsz over there, but hey, I'm a putz too.

Good thing bacpac didn't post his "new Penthouse mag" thread there.”

“What was the comment in your guest book anyway that started this, Cpl. Nasty?”

“I was just trying to start a Cheers v. Gary's Place rivalry. Some of those dudes seem pretty cool over there, but I'm sure most of them drink thier wine with pinky fingers extended. Oh well, glad I could make some folks laugh.”

“Violin- Prosecutor- Shoulda known.”

“we've been duped my friend!”

“Pretty sneaky, Violin. Hell, prosecutor's reply in my guestbook wasn't what I thought was retarded anyway. It was the onslaught of uptight reaction I got from my post over there- I guess the score is actually thebackpacker.com 2, backpacker.com 0. Chalk one up to Violin for exposing the wussies. If by some chance Violin and Prosecutor are not the same person, and you both want to know what the post was all about, it's all in my original message over there...”

“I don't think Violin and Prosecutor are the same person. Why do you say they are?”
