“"hey all, im new to this forum and just wanted to introduce myself and make myself known. ive postd alot on backpacker.com . so anyway my names ben, im 24, in the AF and living in newport news. im in the mountains almost every weekend. hope to get to know some of you guys"”

“Welcome to TT- Of course, you'll be called a troll. You'll defend yourself and try to prove you're not. Some will believe you, others won't, some will pretend to believe you, others will pretend not to. Then comes the politics, then the innuendo, and in the end you'll realize that everyone here is, after all, a troll. Until you go on a TT trip, that is.”

“Hey hip, I used to live in the Hilton neighborhood.

Air Force, huh?

I once saw on of those bumper stickers, "Aim High Air Force" above a urinal.”

“ha ha ha tom yeah ive seen those. i got one question, ive seen it a cpl times and im usually pretty good at contexting words but what in the world is being a ''troll'' pls help me”

“that means your probably not one...

ban backpackinhippi, he ain't a troll, but maybe he's a trill.”

“Being a troll means you're here to cause trouble- Deliberately trying to piss people off, trying to masquerade as someone you're not, etc. etc.
I saw a cool bumper sticker the other day-
Sure, the Marines are a department of the Navy. We're the Men's department.”

“It's someone who just posts to stir up trouble...pretty much everyone on this forum. It may not seem like this is a backpacking forum sometimes, but in the short time I've been around, I prefer asking these people questions to the people on the other board. I've pretty much stopped visiting it. I'm looking forward to the time I can actually get out and BP with some of these people. You all should do another Gorge trip, or go to BSF or something.
Or maybe you're going and are smart enough to keep it a secret from me!! OMG...you don't want me along, you're sneaking around behind my back.....The AGONY!!!



Somebody slap me.









I'm okay now. (sniffle)”

“I did three years in the army myself, always nice to see another military person out there.
Stikmon- Let's not forget that your more advanced species of troll will of course say that they don't know the meaning of the word... :)”

“Before they get wound up hip..just ignore them. Welcome!”

“Hello hello hip :D! Post a pic! (clothes optional) And I will tell you if you are a troll or not!”

“Never trust anyone who says they are in the military, but calls themselves a hippy.”

“hey hip, are you unattached?





WOHOO! NEW MEAT! (sorry jello...but i havent seen you posting lately)”

“Welcome,come in, sit down,have a drink,get cozy,,,and enjoy the putdowns,,you will recive,,,,
just kidding,everone here is, well nice informative,,,yet realy odd.....”

“maybe the hippi and the crabs guy are the same people?”

“Enjoy your stay however long or short it may prove to be.”

“well this ceratainly seems like an interesting place. i think i may stick around awhile. yeah the hippi thing and the military thing confuses alota ppl. im a big deadhead/jamband fan that somehow found his way into the military. as far far as the insults well bring em on! i can give like the best. i do work aircraft maintence(F15s) and we survive on bashing each other, you know, in a friendly way of course.....who the hell is the crabs guy? oh and nasty i may be one of those hybrid cross genetic trolls so you may want to watch yourself ha ha ha”

“Hi there Hippi. THe Crab person is another newbie who likes to collect aquatic and terrestrial crabs as pets. So they say. THey showed up today as well. How'd you find this joint?”

“"im a big deadhead/jamband fan..."


OK, you won me over.”

“NEW GUY BUYS THE BEER!

preferrably dos equis with a lime......”

“Dos Equis?! Ick! Newcastle!”

“New guy also packs the beer.


They may try to sneak that by you later. Be sure and check your pack if it seems a little heavy on any group hikes you may attend ; ) .”

“SHHH! Don't give all our tricks away!”

“*******whispering***********

I'm just trying to distract him so he doesn't notice the other stuff ; ) .”

“Corporal Nasty was pretty new when he decided to join a group hike. I was like "No way am I going to tell my husband that one of the guys on the hike calls himself Corporal Nasty!" But he turns out to be this really great person. So hopefully you are also a really great person and not a troll.

Watch out for Mapleleaf, we call her pottymouth. And I don't know about Mr. Crabs. He seems kinda stiff for a jointed one (no double meanings there, honest).”

“there was a link on somebodies homepage for here. i really like this one so far. now i know what is meant by the ''other''board.
last time i went hiking with my bro i started slipping rocks in his pack. he was making camp that night and all of a sudden i hear.....what the F@#% !!!!!!
as far as the group hikes, you are gonna see alot of me soon ha ha ha if i ever get out of this god forsaken country (Qatar) that is”

“They are right. You need to go on a trip with some of these people to meet them. Just don't go where there are wild hogs!!!! Right Crazy Mike? And I could be your father ...you don't look like a parrot do you? Or a big old Sow?”

“Hi Hippi!




Dodder, where have you been?!”

“So... How do they pronounce 'Qatar' over there??

LOL

I'm a C-SPAN junkie and that's all they talked about for nearly a week...

"Gutter"?
"Cutter"?
"CuhTAR"?
"GuiTar"?

It was pretty silly.”

“It's pronounced "Guitar!!" in your best Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar on Me" voice.”

“TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehe”

“Welcome aboard bphippie, let the hazing begin people....yeeha.”

“you can say it any way you want. i say CUH tar.
uh oh its wvabackpacker. i dont know if i want to get involved with you man you got everyone going crazy on the other forums, ha ha but i love drama once in awhile. anyway ive been wanting to do some hikes in the monagahela, care to show me around?”

“Welcome aboard!! Honestly, I swear, we do talk about backpacking here.”

“ive postd alot on backpacker.com."
~trollin-I-mean-backpackinhippi

And you didn't know what a troll is?

"living in newport news. im in the mountains almost every weekend."
The mountains of Qatar or Old Dominion?

Nope. I don't buy yer authenticity. I feel compelled to get all innuendoey with you. But, seein's how I'm a gentleman and all that crap, I'll let you slide...
for now.

Just keep yer hands where I can see them.”

“LOL detective gojo! So you think this guy has no home other than where he is currently posted for the Iraq war? I agree that if he spends time on the other board, he is inherently a suspected troll.”

“I second the warning about that mapleleaf person. She acts like she's all nice but watch out.
Bam! She'll steal your turtles.”

“Welcome to the twilight zone.”

“WELCOME TO HELL!

;-) lol!”

“Yes, welcome! And for your future reference; I am a troll.”

“satan is a troll? i am in hell? kewl”

“Satan! high-five, dude! long time, no see.”

“I've been busy. So many souls, so little time. You'd be amazed how fast eternity flies by you!”

“Welcome BPH. In your honor, the Air Force Song:

Off we go
Into the wild blue yonder
CRASH!”

“Hey I STILL WANT TO SEE A PICTURE! :D”

“Satan! high-five, dude! long time, no see."
