The Trail Talk Clans

“Twigeater, I'd hold out for your own Maine faction even if it was just yourself, ayuh.

We can pop up to see you from time to time and help ease the lobster glut.”

“Florida's been readmitted to the South???”

“What else were they gonna do with it? Castro turned them down!”

“Florida should have its own clan: The Gated Chads!”

“Only because U of Florida was allowed to join the Southeast Conference, FG.”

“Hey now, northern Florida is very southern.. I grew up in Gainesville (U of F), and it's a tooooootally different world there compared to south Florida (which is more or less a tropical New York).”

“If you live in northern Florida you're a southerner and if you life in southern Florida you're a New Yawker???”

“Basically, you pretty much hit the nail on the head there, Geobeet.”

“Dang state's turned downside-up, that explains it all!”

“South of I-80 in Iowa, you're a "suth'en'r."”

“Buddha Bear,

Is that "Lama" as in "Western Dali Lama" or were you more into the "llama" as in cloven-hooved, beast of burden?

I guess since I'm out west I can be part of the respected Western Dali Llamas gang, but when I go home to MT, I can don my Dune gear.

It is by will alone I put my mind in motion”

“RE: Northern FL=South.

Shore 'nuf! I remember 1968 when Wallace bumper stickers outnumbered any other in Okaloosa and Walton Counties.”

“so, are of us scattered about the Rocky Mountain West part of the Western Dali Llamas?”

“Shouldn't that be Dally Llamas?”

“whats all this about clams?”

“Twinkle Toes said Artex was like a puppy on crack, so Artex started this thread to deflect attention away from his new nom de guerre.”

“As long as its not a dalliance with llamas!”

“I don't know which clan would include Northwestern Wisconsin where I live..I lurk (beats work) in Michigan's UP and Minnesota's North Shore and roam westward to see mountains taller than Brockway Drive(in Michigan..I believe it's the highest place between the Rockies and the Appalacians)”

“I don't know which clan someone from Northwestern Wisconsin belongs to..I lurk (beats work) in Michigan's UP and Minnesota's northshore.......Hmm-m-m”

“I don't know which clan someone from Northwestern Wisconsin belongs to..I lurk (beats work) in Michigan's UP and Minnesota's northshore.......Hmm-m-m”

“sorry about that..”

“just for the record...

As long as there are Hooters, the South shall Rise Again.”

“I'm not touching that one with a ten foot pole.”

“I remember Tilt well, long before the flaming feminists reduced him to a heap of ashes. Brave man, he was!”

“LOL!....when i played with the outlaws (softball team) one year, they nicknamed me "hoota buddha"
i didnt mind...it was just those tank top jerseys they like to see their wimmen play braless in that i put my foot down to.
i guess if we suthunas have to be hooters..so be it.......nature made me what i yam!

i am still not sure what all this has to do with clams.....”

“I'm part of the McCalifornia clan...and yes we love plaid...and fornication”

“So now I belong to a clan or gang, but I'm not getting a tattoo of a black bear.”

“Artex, since you are obviously leader of the clan, can I do the coconut shell thing?

And since we are the bear clan, does that make us the Clan of the Cave Bear? Does it give us immunity from bear raids?”

“Although I live in Tennessee, I don't really claim total loyalty to it. I prefer to do trips farther away from my own neck of the woods for the most part.
I recon I kinda fit into the Trail Ho Clan.”

“I am STIKMON!!! keeper of the Flame of Amroth...weilder of the Staff of Olftauron...Seeker of Truth...and defender of the Realm at Large...”

“mataharihiker, here in the Superior region of the U.P., Northern Wisconsin and NE Minnesota, I think we are likely the Loon Clan. May not be ferocious, but we have the coolest signal call.

BTW, welcome to Trail Talk from a former Yooper, and much former Troll, now exiled (with visiting privileges) in da Viskonsin Nort' Woods.”

“Stikmon says he's an army of one!”

“Me, the leader of the Northeast clan? No, no, no, I don't think so! But you can totally do the coconut thing. I just hope we don't run into any castles where some Frenchman perched up high on the walls starts taunting us.

I'll fart in your general direction!”

“i wanna be the crazed salamanders!(NW AR division, private-first class)”

“kewl...now, we'z a gang?! Can we get special bandanas or wear "the colors" do-rags?
>;D”

“"South of I-80 in Iowa, you're a "suth'en'r."

That's not true. It's south of Highway 2. I know--I lived there for 18 months one year!”

“Yo, I be n Several clans and I like clams! Dorag lol”

“18 months in one year? whoa!”

“yep! He's all a southner, yo'all bet your grits.”

“Should each clan have its own banner banner or should we have one good one for TT to be displayed at TT functions and hikes?

large banner

small banner”

“Oh ayuh Geobeet, I think that's a good ideah - the lobstah will be waitin' for ya!

jerbear don't need no do-rag, he's got "hair." Lost one of his hairs on Katahdin and I was supposed to look for it. However I was lax in my duties, but lucky for me someone else found it and remembered it was his. :)”

“Yeah, it was longest year of my life!”

“Ask Snow Nymph She's a member!

Some of the West Coast Clan own and lead Llamas.”

“Excuse me, gotta clean the steam off my glasses.”

“Not meaning any disrespect to the South, but I'd much prefer a lobster to a crawdad.”

“Yipes! Snownymph on the loose!”

“I'm not sure what you'd call us clanmembers in Utah. I don't think any of us have gone on a hike with another one of us. I keep thinking it would be great to join up with one of the others but don't quite get around to it. What's a clever way of saying 'lame'. Maybe that's what the name of our clan could be.

However, I have played frisbee golf with Griz.”

“newgirl,

Do you mean the people from Dune the movie, or Dune the Sci-Fi Channel produced mini-series? There's a difference.”

“mediaman, i don't think the lame frisbee golfers is taken....




tell us about your trailname...”

“The book(DUNE)was good.

Northern New England should be its own clan, it is a sovereign state of being.

I am a spiritual member of the West Virginia Highlands Clan, even though I live in this dump........I mean, Baltimore.

Buddha Bear....Mercenary Of Flatlandia.......Mojo Warrior”
