lawyergary = chips76

“I'm having trouble with my "lawyergary" account, so I'll be posting with my old name "chips76". A rose by any other name is...er...a tulip?”

“cool. looks like 76 was your birth year - so what is significance of chips or should i ask?”

“Met and hiked with a brit named Fish (last name was "Fisher") on the AT in '99. People started calling us Fish and Chips. The name stuck (and, fortunately, so has our friendship).”

“Just a reminder...”

“I like 'Chips' better. Just so long as you don't wear that friggin' skirt!!! ;-)”

“Yeah, chips76 is a better name than "girlymanwhohikesinaskirt".

j/k!!! :-)”

“The skirt WILL BE WORN, FG! But dont panic...I will wear underwear (mens underwear). Anyway, its not an issue until summer arrives...and even then, I probably wouldn't wear it except for a long distance hike.”

“Thank God...”

“The Chipmeister! The Chipster! Chip-o-Rama...”

“LMAO”

“Do you wear one of those mountain hardon kilts?”

“A lawyer named Gary hiking in a skirt? Now that will greatly improve the image of lawyers!”

“chip is better. Everytime I read the other name it appeared as lawyergay to me and then I'd take a double take, not that theirs anything wrong with that!”

“Just one more reminder...”

“Yeah, yeah...whatever blows yer skirt up! :D”

“Does this mean I can wear my kilt to ECT events now?”

“Tomorrow, I'm gonna wear my kilt to work. Of course, I work at home.”
