Snow Nymph clones, soon to be ready

“unbeknownst to Snow Nymph, I was able to acquire a strand of hair, off her pack. It was just floating in the breeze as we were hiking down Cottonwood Canyon Trail, in Death Valley (read the trip report). I stealthely reached out and plucked it from its precarious location and stashed it in my journal.

If you all recall...
Sometime ago, I had asked Snow Dude to send me some skin samples, so that I could begin a Snow Nymph cloning operation. He was beligerent in his haughtiness, laughing at me and saying that "I would NEVER have access to the DNA of Snow Nymph". Dude...I laugh back at YOU!!!. MMMMMOOOOOWWWWWWHHHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

During my recovery from this hike over the past week, I have been setting up my lab and have been conducting minor experiments on the analysis of the DNA of Snow Nymph...It is amazing! the superiority of her cell structure is astounding.

Anyway...to the marketing angle (since thats what I do)...I have now in my possession 100 petrie dishes under grow lights, and I am now generating my own Snow Nymph clones and not to be the greedy schmuck that I am made out to be, I am willing to share in my good fortune.

I am going to start the bidding at $100,000,000,000 dollars.

You no longer need be envious of Snow Dude, now you can be the first on your block to own your very own Snow Nymph...she hikes, she snowboards, she's cute, she takes wonderful photos...cooking is not an option at this time. She makes witty conversation around a campfire, and she (well, never mind, you'll find out).

Come on guys...this is your chance to get in while the price is cheap. Lets hear it!!!

***(all proceeds go to Stikmon's "I need new gear fund") and its all fully tax deductable...I have a 5013c tax exempt cert.”

“Can you alter her DNA just enough to make her comfortable with 80 LB packs ? That way she can carry my gear too and maybe, just maybe I could keep up her on the trail.
:)”

“Have you changed anything about the DNA?”

“that's why the cooking things is out...and there are other foibles, I can discuss them privately, not on an open forum.”

“you had your chance...I opened the door to this opportunity, and you laughed in my face...I'll show you, you, you

Snow Nymph hoarder. I will blanket the earth with my Snow Nymph clones and thereby reduce you to a mere mortal man. A man with only 1 Snow Nymph...where, under MY permission, a man may own 2 or even 3, heck...5 Snow Nymphs...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....I will rule the earth and make backpacking men everywhere as happy and free as you are....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Mad, some may say, but nay, it is not so...I am not Mad...Crazed, ok, but surely, not Mad, well sometimes angry, but thats all in the past, anyway...I have a new Dr and he is wonderful (great mds too)....and soon, SOON!!!! I shall have my own Snow Nymph....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

“Watch your petrie dishes...they may just disappear into the mountains each weekend...”

“You realize that exact copies of snownymphs are just going to turn their minds on cloning snowdude, riiiiight?”

“Hey - There will never be another Snow Nymph - she's unique.”

“Hey stikmon, can I pay you on the easy installment plan? ;)”

“I think Phil and Phaedrus might have valid points, so I'm only going to bid $5.


When do you think my order will be ready Stik?”

“when I'm finished...there will be plenty of Snow Nymphs to go around...

Naviguesser...your puny bid of a measley $5.00 is an insult...and I reject your offer...and...I also...


Fart in your general direction.”

“I have exposed your scam! I know you don't have real Snow Nymph DNA because you said you changed it, and now it doesn't cook. The REAL Snow Nymph doesn't cook!! So, if you changed the DNA, then the clones WOULD cook! You're now caught in your own deception. That knock you'll be hearing at your door soon will be the FBI anti-clone-scam unit.

Try as you may, you'll never have a Snow Nymph.
MMMMMOOOOOWWWWWWHHHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

“BTW, I may take one of the cooking clones. Then I'd have one that cooks, in addition to the one that is permanently attached to the computer. Can you clone one that cleans too?”

“LOL”

“ROFLMFAO!!! too funny man...

Hey Dude, it was great to finally meet half of the team, wish it could have been 100%. another time. I hope that SN had fun...I know, I sure did...and I said that I hadn't changed the DNA and that SN does NOT cook, so...my plans remain on track...as for the other foibles...for you to know...for us to find out.

8-)”

“500 of them! Its inhuman!
- Hartcort Finton Mudd”

“If anyone gets a clone, send it my way and I'll test it out for you. I have other ways of telling how authentic they are.”

“LOL!”

“What say you miss Snow Nymph, of my insidious plans to lay waste to the worlds population of mindless backpacking men...to ensnare them into the plot with your help is pure

EVIL

on my part, do you not agree?”

“Phew! What smells?





OK, OK, stik. $6.00.”

“LMAO Stikmon and Snowdude!”

“My plot is already in motion...2 snownymphs...its only the beginning....MMMMMMOOOOOWWWWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”

“This I have to see.

8)


I expect to see all the test papers.”

“As many of you may remember, I asked Snow Dude to enter into "partnership" with me. His end of the deal was to supply me with cells that I would use to clone Snow Nymphs, which, I would sell on the internet for a handsome profit. He flately refused and I was forced to take matters into my own hands.

I quickly put together a trip to Death Valley last year, in which the unsuspecting Snow Nymph attended. I was proven correct in my thinking that she is the perfect backpacking partner. At this meeting, I was able to acquire hair samples that I got off of her hat. She never knew it as I was supremely sly.

2 weeks ago, I was able to confirm my choice in choosing her as a viable subject, with a 2nd and even tougher backpacking trip to Death Valley, and if 1 year has done anything to Snow Nymph,it has made her even more attractive. I choose wisely...well....Now to the real news...

I then sent the hair sampling off to my Korean counter parts who were endeavoring to create the perfect human clone, and today, we are proud to announce to the world that we have been successful. In short time, I will be the proud owner of my very own Snow Nymph and soon you will be too...

you all thought I was mad...and I laughed at you all for such innane thoughts...today, I bring you proof of my genius...

NY Times article

Let the bidding begin anew...”

“You dumb klutz. It will take 20 years for those embryos to mature. You'll be an old fart by then!”

“master Geobeet...You underestimate my genius, but, you are not the first. But, I shall show the world that true genius is in my possession...The Koreans and myself are working on an excellrated growth program as well....we expect to have a fully functional backpacking Snow Nymph as quickly as 18 months.”

“I thought there already were about a half dozen Snow Nymphs out there judging from Webshots! =80”

“Hey genius! you misspelled accellerated.”

“Not sure about the clone just yet, but I'd like to order a large bale of whatever you're smoking.”

“make it two!”

“Stikky has never been very reality based. ;-)”

“what do you Bid...and remember...early purchasers will have a lower serial number, and therefore will have more value on the secondary market.

I have been in touch with Ebay, to see if they might be willing to assist in Tier 2 of the offerings...

and I did not mispel excellarated...thats how we are spelling the process...

and...I resent the implications that I am imbibing on ANYTHING of a natural substance. Your continuance of misdoubt is disconcerting and shows your ignorance to my true genius...”

“18 months? Are we teachers even allowed to read this thread?”

“Second-generation is always a better product. I'll wait for the early-adopters to work out the kinks (hee hee) and then I'll look into getting one myself...”

“i could use some clones”

“I'll start at 1.00. Please note that my bid is denominated in Korean money.”

“a first bid ladies and gentlemen...

roam around is bid 1.oo.00 korean dinars.

do I hear 2?

think about it men...your VERY OWN nymph.”

“boy the action looks pretty slow - maybe some "artists renditions" of what the proposed full grown clone should look like might spark some bidding.”

“run of the mill drivell...now, when someone posts something thats annoyingly innane and sometimes not very humerous...then that thread gets hundreds of hits...post something thats just plain silly and fun which doesn't slander anyone, well...it gets no action...thats the goofy thing about this website...most people sense of humor is just plain mean...anywhoo...I dance to the beat of a different drummer...beat on!!! hahaha...I said beat...I crak me up.”

“Marc, The only problem I see with your story is that you claim to have gotten a stand of hair while walking down the trail. I know that your hiking speed/style would NEVER put you directly behind the AWESOME Snow Nymph. You would have been at least 2 miles back or more. Now if you said you got the hair in camp, I'd have believed that.

But, if what you say is true, I'll take 5 Snow Nymphs.”

“D'oh!! WD you cut deep!”

“First ya gotta outbid me!”

“Here's what they end up looking like:

”

“Can I get one in exotic green?

Kinda like this:

”

“Wow! Snow Dude's going to be busy!”

“will be clad in Wonder Woman wear...

I am going to call her..."wonder Nymph".”

“I dig it!”

“I like the green one.”
