B.O.B.??

“My order from Campmor just arrived. The mechanic in our garage brings it in... the package is really long, like 3 feet... and 6" sqaure at the ends.

Mr. Mechanic comes in and says, here's a package for you, what is this? Bob?

And I started laughing and thought, does that mechanic know about BOB??! So I said, what do you mean?

He says, battery operated...

I said, dying laughing...OK OK.. and NO IT'S NOT!!

LOLOLOLOL

It's my Eureka Zeus Exo for one person, fleece pants and balaclava..

anyhoo... we both had a good laugh!”

“and just what do u think you're going to be doing with that broomstick?”

“You should have gotten the TerraQuest!”

“I just picked up a new TerraQuest, can't wait to try it out this weekend!”

“Buzzing the control tower!”

“well, thank you! phhhhhhhhhhht!

What the heck is the Terraquest?

Also, I've gotten good recommendations on this tent already. The most recent person to get one is Arky, although he got a two-person and mine's a one.

Plus, it's free-standing. I really wanted that and many tents aren't.

OK, so tell me about the Terraquest, price etc.”

“Here's more than you'd ever want to know about the TerraQuest! http://thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread.php?id=19201&age=999”

“...and you can use the Terraquest for a "free-standing tent"!”

“Doh! What's the second B stand for? Battery operated what? I'm dense this morning. I'm dense most mornings, but especially dense today.”

“psssst Geo, it's "boyfriend".”

“LOL!! How did I ever miss the thread on the Terraquest???!

Hmmmm... I might have to rethink this tent......”

“Geo!! And you call yourself an editor??!! You must get yourself more up-to-date on the world!!”

“LOL @ Tilt!”

“Doh! Well lizs, I work at a family newspaper. What can I say.

So, does stikkie know about Bob? What about Bob?”

“Thank-you, Twigeater. I thought my best comment in weeks has been for naught.

Nice set-up, Simer!”

“And it was On-Topic for once!”

“A sign you've been spending too much time with BOB - you blush when someone's pager starts vibrating.

=D”

“yikes! LOL”

“Ok, so bob's a great guy, but what are his career prospects?”

“Like anybody else, if you work B.O.B. too hard, he will eventually fail, but if you give him some time off, let him recharge his batteries, he'll right back at work in no time, happily buzzing along, doing what he was meant to do...”

“I found a 2' tube in my door the other day, a special delivery.

Kidding, it was just tent poles for my new tent. :)”

“Boy, Smiley, Dr. Freud would have a field day with that post!”

“2' - that's scarey”

“LOL! I didn't realize what I typed!”

“Well.......Happy Valentine's Day!”

“no wonder ya smiling”

“Damn, my secret's out!”

“I guess that's why she's smiling all the time...”

“Wow! This must be a record for Thread degradation!”

“Way to handle yourself (as it was) Smiley!”

“Warning! Nasty thread! Handle at your own risk!”

“harmless innuendo”

“I don't think you're supposed to use those things as a handle...”

“How can you call this thread degeneration??? I mean,it says, B.O.B.?? in the title!!! LOL!”

“You people are ill aren't you!?”

“..and your point is?”

“Yes, but at least we are enjoying it...”

“And all this time I thought that humming sound from my co-workers office was her computer!!!!”

“I just set the Zeus Exo... errr "B.O.B." up in the office, much to the hilarity of my female co-workers... and of course I had to crawl in and tent ventilation. :-)”

“and CHECK tent ventilation. Looks like a coooooool tent!”

“Here's a good way to test tent ventilation:

1. Set the tent up in your office (like lizs has already done)

2. Eat a lot of beans for lunch.

3. Crawl into the tent, and well, let nature take its course.

4. With a stop watch, time the interval between the, uh, gas deployment, and the first reactions by your officemates.

5. Repeat the step 4, but sitting next to the tent instead of being inside it.

The difference should give you a good indication of how well the tent ventilates.”

“LOL!”

“....from BOB's to farts....


simply amazing!”

“lol - I'm adding nothing to that remark”

“How realistic would BOB be if he didn't toot from time to time?”

“So this bob, does he have any hobbies?”

“Spelunking...”

“Submarine racing...”

“He doesn't sing, but he can hum...”
