TT Topic Counter

“HPM! LMAO!

OPIE! ROFLMAO!

Mapleleaf - I suggest that you call your lawyer, sue the crap out of the people who took your treehouse, and post the results on the existant "Lost the Treehouse" thread, or one of those threehouse threads ya got out there. And don't think I don't know the only reason you're inviting me is to watch twinkle toes slap the #&%!$ outta me.

I WANT MY HAT!”

“Is that a no?”

“What baume 66 said.

Geobeet is absolutely correct. I posted a trip report from this weekend's trip and 4 people responded.”

“so you gonna respond to my email”

“Ya know, guys need to know what to do with leftover smegma at all times. So, that thread could count as "on topic".
Let's explore that. (See, exploration is on topic, also.)
The camera pans slowly back on two dudes sitting beside the camp fire. It's a beautiful, starlit night somewhere deep in the remote wilderness.
Joe, "Hey Bob, what Do you do with leftover smegma?"
Bob, "What's smegma?"”

“Joe, "Well, have you ever met Dunadan?"
Bob, "Who?"”

“"And don't think I don't know the only reason you're inviting me is to watch twinkle toes slap the #&%!$ outta me.

I WANT MY HAT!"

Phuck the hat! I want Twinkletoes to slap the shlt out of me and show me I've been naughty!”

“Not only did I read your TR, I immediately searched for your Osprey pack so I could view it's merits. I read every trip report posted, but somethimes think that I have nothing to add, nor any questions to ask. I wonder if this happens with others?”

“Looks like no hat for the mule.

I'm crushed and I don't think my self-esteem will ever recover.

Please, someone validate my existance.”

“HPM - you have a cool, hottie for a wife, who lets you backpack at will, and a lovely daughter.

I have a jar of vasoline, a teddy bear, and now a mesh hat with a captains thread. Excuse me, I needed it more than you!

Existance - validated.”

“HPM, I would have to vote a big no on validating your existence. "Who is Dunadan?", indeed. Hmmph.”

“LOL!

I'm in a quandry! Quick, somebody love bomb me!!!!”

“I'm confused. After reading 105 posts, I now wonder if something is wrong with me because I don't get so tore up about what happens on this board.”

“I say if it is entertaining, start a thread. If you are just bored with your life and want everyone else to be bored too then keep it to yourself.”

“Amen.”

“Hey, Stickman, you might just be a little too well-adjusted to be posting on this site.”

“No, I can assure you that's not the case. Instead of focusing all my angst on this board, I tend to worry about whether or not my nose hairs are attempting to mimic a moustache.”

“LOL!”

“bacpac, that actually made sense.

**chili36 slowly walks away mumbling about siding with right wingers***”

“All this posturing and bowing is very unbecoming of TT.

Its like the mystical toothless poodles of the Serengeti have a Mexican standoff at a territorial line. Each fearing that any outburst of excessive gumming could jeopardize ones status within the extend pack.

Stop trying to take the fun out of dysfunctional.”

“.... and quit kissing my ass too!”

“Bacpac, the odds of you finding anyone on this board that will kiss your ass are somewhere between slim and none.”

“If I were a betting man, you would lose.”

“Bacpac, the odds of you finding anyone on this board that will kiss your ass are somewhere between slim and none."

well know don't be so fast to disgaurd little ole me.”

“Lose??? WTF?? I would find a way to sell tickets to the event and get my money back tenfold.”

“Kiss my ass, chili.”

“I agree with BB...
The ratio of threads is way out of what a person would think as normal. I find myself abandoning searches for trip reports, because there is just to much garbage. I post 99% backpacking related threads. But do post on threads that appear interesting or insightful.
A 50% ratio would seem to be more in line for a backpacking website.
I enjoy reading threads that give some insight into the kind of people who post here. And because of that, I hope to go to the east coast and backpack with a few of the east coast backpackers. I also want to go to Montana and the northwest to meet all those folks too.
But, there are quite a few threads that, make me wonder why anyone would take the time to post them. I certainly would not want to infringe on someones right to speak or post. Nor would I want to make someone uncomfortable about posting something they find funny or insightful.
But where is the line between entertaining and stupid. And I wonder if they actually have a life outside of TT.
Consolidating threads is a good idea. If the top 20 threads are not something ridiculous. If I had a backpacking website, I would not want a new person seeing some of the hot topics that seem to go on and on. Burying useful information, good trip reports, and good honest insightful threads about peoples lives.
On the JMT when I met someone new. We discussed all kinds of things as well as backpacking and trail isssues. So that is sorta what I think would happen here.
As for the person who does not want to backpack with someone who only talks about backpacking. Geez, I think this is a backpacking site. Or so the name would incline me to believe. And I guess that is why God made a bunch of different trails. Since we probably would not want to backpack with you either.
BB thank you for bringing it up. Because, outside of the postings on this site. There has been a lot of discussion about TT becoming a wasted site. Dominated by non backpackers and Hikers. Other than that I like TT, but find I visit it less and less, due to this abnormal ratio.”

“LIGHTEN UP!”

“o wait nevermind you already did. i see everyones to the kissing and making up phase..

treebeard- stop being so sensitive

bacpac- stop making sense. its so unnatural coming from you

junebug- stop creeping me out”

“i mean really, its ok for your woman to be over-sensitive (many of them are)(many women, i mean, not many of YOUR women. oh never mind), but you really shouldnt be more prone to lip-quiver than your woman is. tis the law of nature.

buddha- f!ck tact! keep em comin'. of course, you do know, youre a f!cking hypocrite, but this great nation was built on hypocrisy, so more power to ya, ya bastich!”

“Me thinks we take ourselves WAY too seriously....”

“man, you got 2 other posts in before I typed mine...your fast




ok, I'm slow”

“and before anyone accuses me of being holier than thou. yes i have taken shiznit too seriously. ive gotten into it with ppl and over-reacted to what ppl have said. sometimes i need to get over myself.

but i still say f!ck tact.”

“and i dont really have a problem with all the frivolous threads. heaven knows ive started my share. its the phenomenon of how we become more important, more interesting, more lovable when we die. thats always bothered me, and has nothing to do with netiquette, which is what we're really arguing about here. and thats why i was a little snot on a couple of threads. that, and its just entertaining to stir the hornets nest.”

“Its gotten to a point where pple have found the pple they like and they will look for their info and hike with them when they can..but WLD your right..the talk around the campfire always drifts to how much TT "sucks" now..or heh..that might just be me being jaded”

“what the hell does wld stand for? weapons of lemur destruction?”

“Is TT so important in our lives that we have to start worrying about how bad it sucks these days? Why do we care if a website becomes crappy? Is it because there are only 1029375738945734908 other ones left or what? it's not like websites are an endangered species or limited resource.
I second MtnSteve--we take this stuff too seriously.”

“NO! TRAILTALK IS LIFE!”

“Hey Scoops, stop rambling! Gawd man, if ya can't say it in one post that's a sign you are talking too much.















There, now maybe we can get this thread back on track and do flaming.”

“i am a multi-faceted individual, hence i multi-post.”

“Not being nasty or inflammatory, but do you seriously sit around a campfire talking about trail talk? You may want to think about opening up to some more stimulating areas of canversation...”

“like girls!”

“NS has the right idea!”

“at least we are at a campfire..do some of you chatters even have boots?”

“Had a feeling you would react like that...”

“sure do and all kinds of differnt gear. and nope we dont really talk about TT. we CHATTER about all kinds of things.”

“I supect that some people don't have much left to say around the campfire after they have finished posting everything trivial about their lives here.”

“naw, but we do talk about you gear slut.....”

“i know, talking about all those trivial things like what sex i am really drain me, Sluttypoo.
:-D”

“who cares - just don't open the threads you don't want to.

If you don't like to see the trip and gear threads drop off the page so fast, then comment when you read them. A short post like "great report" acknowledges the effort and encourages more TTers to post their stuff.”
