Temporarily Changing Clans

“hey... Who's that guy in the Mickey Mouse suit with the platter of ribs?”

“Waaaaaaahhhhhh is right!!!

Finally get some good people in the area and look what happens.

We will miss you!!!

Maybe I won't smell the noxious oders driving through the NorthEastern part of NJ???

Yeah...wishful thinking!

Good Luck Artex!”

“Thanks Adventurist! You guys will all be missed big time. :-(”

“Four threads on Artex, he's the man.”

“It's gonna suck this summer trying to find a new whipping boy. Anybody? Bueller?

Just don't get spoiled in the flatlands with all those warm temps. Say 3 oonga boongas every night before bed and think mountains.

We'll be here waiting fer ya.”

“Thanks Pennsy. :-)”

“Good luck Artex, Too bad you have to move, but it sounds like it will be good for your career in the long run. Hope you find the job you're looking for.”

“Pennsy, I enjoyed your company and would be pleased to hike with you more often. Althow I am a far cry from Artex. I do not stink, and I am not nearly as funny. In fact I am not funny at all.

Artex, try not to kill to many gatters with that gassly ass.”

“Try the UK for a while. See if your new employer can impose bathroom rules on you. The bastard will have met his match!

chargeme?”

“LOL @ treebeard! Ya know, it's funny though... I have this thing, I just don't go number two in public restrooms. I have no probs at taking the kids for a swim at an outhouse or a cathole out in the woods.. but public restrooms, I just can't bring myself to it.”

“I can see that, Art. But, maybe it's my age, but if I have to go bad enough, I could probably do it on national TV...”

“LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

thats good enough for me.”

“Age definitely has something to do with it. I no longer give a damn, as long as the thing is relatively clean, i.e. nothing on it I can't wipe off. You'll probably be relieved to know (or maybe not) that telephone handsets and computer keyboards have much more bacteria on them than public toilet seats.”

“I too, have never had a problem taking your kids to cathouses and outholes....

Kids? what kids??? Is this why you are leaving? Is Artex a deadbeat Dad ???”

“Well, I was going to say "growing a tale", but I didn't want to gross you guys out too much.”

“Wow, I missed all of this...

Dang, Artex my friend, I am disappointed, but happy for you too. Sounds like a good thing for you.

Sorry I missed your going away bash. Definitely make sure I know when you are coming back north (or, down east) for another hike.

Vaya con Dios.”

“Jamie, I for one will miss you. you always made me smile.

please plan on visiting us ASAP!


May your Kayak never be full of water! dont forget to get a little boat for the beer!!

have a safe trip.”

“Definitely, Fritz.. I'd like to make it up there sometime this late summer for a hike, I'll definitely make sure you're in the loop. :-)”
