What's a 'Beta Bug'?

“On page 26 of the new Backpacker gear guide, they list the new Bibler Beta Bug – a 1 lb 14 oz, 50 sq ft, 49 inch high, $119, hexagonal shaped tent (tarp?).

It is not listed on the Bibler site and a Google search turns up nothing.

What is it? Where can I see it? Are they just #&%!$ing with gear whores?

Oh, the humanity…”

“Beta bug - I heard it was a rare STD transmitted only through women in the Beta Pi Sorority.”

“i thought it might be a bug that pops up during beta testing of computer programs..lol”

“Opie, did the tenactin work on that Beta Bug problem you were telling me about at TC@?

















That was a joke Miss Opie, we never had that discussion. I am just kidding, put the shoe down, put the shoe down!”

“Actually there were a number of entries for that kind of beta bug OPIE.”

“Guido awoke one morning with tiny little bumps all over. He exclaimed " Iza musta havza beta bugs.”

“This will teach me to never start a gear thread here.

Back to trolling.

YOU'LL ALL BE SORRY!”

“Shouldn't that be, "Beta Pie"?”
