“When did this happen? How did I miss it?

Holy #&%!$! 1/8 cup cayenne????? whiskey????

WTF??? That's not chili....it's rocket fuel.”

“Soaking the beans overnight will help soften them for cooking the next day. Yes, you have to plan ahead, but there are worse things.”

“dang...rocket fuel, indeed!!

hey, i learned something about cooking beans from the Cooking Channel (see, all my TV hours are not "wasted")--you shouldn't put salt in until after the beans are cooked. if you put it in while they're cooking, the beans will stay hard.
:-)”

“They'll be in the 2nd week in feb,,,but i heard they can look them up at your local REI on the computer on Feb 1st.”

“Wait the original recipe doesn't call for "cayenne" pepper, it calls for "cyan" pepper.


So, anybody got any blue pepper out there?”

“bitpusher's a dork!!”

“lol...”

“Don't forget the Bean-O!”

“With all that cayenne, banditos will cry for their mommies!”

“what's been goin on???

Nothing is sacred...if skully won't mess with you, I will.

Welcome back.”

“you still have your iron skillet, and alarm clock?”

“and why haven't your trolled as your sister yet, poppinfresh?”

“Here's one I thought up while sitting around the fire sippin' Scotch:

"Scotch-Serpant Surprise"
Ingredients:
One large rattlesnake
One medium-to-large alligator
One bottle Scotch

Directions:
1)While bushwacking in swampy terrain, be startled by the presence of a large rattlesnake.
2) Remove rattlesnake's head.
3) Drink half of Scotch to calm nerves.
4) Feed rattlesnake to nearby gator.
5) Drink remaining Scotch.”

“can you shorten the recipe by just going to steps 3 and 5?”

“That'd be my preference too chili...”

“its not all that spicey”

“Tell us about the SAR incident...inquiring minds want to know.”

“SAR?”

“SAR=Search and Rescue”

“oh that long story short i was out of shape and got acute mountain sickness pretty bad made a big scene too”

“Yeah ...what happened?”

“Man your quick...I've had altitude sickness....It sucks!”

“bump---- you all may see me at sierrapolooza”

“And what about this coast gaurd thing. What happened there?”

“didnt make it thru basic”

“Dayum poppinmyboy!!! All these trail tales while ya been gone, and no trip reports. C'mon!!!!

“SAR trip not much to say.
