Bragin rights!!!!

“So how many year have u been on TT?


me 5”

“I ask this cause I just posted on anothe thread bragin about my seniority, spite my age. I was wondering if, again I am a blabering fool, or was I right?”

“Maybe both.”

“I'm a little past two years.

Um...despite my age. :)”

“Fritz was right.”

“200 years. i kick all yer hineys!”

“3 years. I think I need more calcium.”

“tea, you are a blabbering fool”

“Are you sure Tea? Were you already here when Birch and I showed up? Doesn't seem like five years....”

“~3.5 years”

“Half your life on TrailTalk?

The mind reels.”

“Since dirt...hence one of my alternate trail names: Phil Dirt”

“some 5 1/2 years, gads, has it been that long???”

“Around 2 years.


8)”

“Tea, I suspect that unless your math is now as bad as your spelling used to be that you may have your "timeline" off a bit. I recall when you started posting here and Sass and I have been here 4 years now.”

“About five years for me.”

“About 3 years for me. I met some very cool people here. Excellent hiking site.”

“January will wrap up my 3rd year here and I wouldn't have chaged a thing.....well....maybe getting here a little earlier :)”

“I think I just had my 1 year aniversary last month or so. I am not good with aniversaries, so it could've been this month. I do know it's been around one year!”

“I dunno. I lost track. Must be coming up to 3 or so.”

“hmmm...so tea thinks he's been here for 5 years? That's absolutely incredible. Maybe he's thinking in dog years or something.

I think I've been here since sometime in '98. My first TT trip was in June '99 to Mount Rogers.”

“Who the he!! is Ice Tea?”

“Who the he!! is Ice Tea?"

Isn't he some has been rapper.”

“Maybe its that new math he's learning in college, skiracer!”

“lmao!”

“SG, at least we know it's not spelling.”

“Dunno; can anyone help ne here?”

“Birch and Sass... skiracer.... I've been here since sometime in '98. And can remember when Tea showed up. So it ain't no five years, Tea.”

“He's been running ever since I first encountered him, but he's still here!”

“Next week will be one year for me. I remember because I came on on Maple's birthday. She was trying to get you guys to help her figure out what I got her for her b-day by the clues I left...”

“I've been here for three months. 2004 will mark my 20th year of backpacking. Hopefully it will be the start of at least 20 more.”

“It was Jan. '00 for me and I think I was here before you, Tea.

Ahhh! good times.”

“April 01' here. According to Tea Math, I've been here for 27 years.”

“I think two years. Maybe I should think about buying a backpack now and actually go on a trip? Hmmmm.”

“Tea years = dog years??”

“Maybe 5 is just a misspelling. Cut Tea a brick.”

“1997. Me and Dirtbag Phil are plank owners.”

“I was in the class of August '01.”

“Bigpoppa...you were on Sierrapalooza, weren't you?

It's lyra and Violin who need to actually go on a trip.”

“Mid '97, I had a long lurker period after a password was required.”

“The late summer of 1997 with an inquiry about the ADK. Got into an arguement with "peakbagger" aboutthe relative wilderness of the ADK.


Sometime thereafter the religion threads started with Nigal and Jeremy aka naturekid.


So its been just over 5 years for me.




As for Tea. Tea. Tea. Tea. You started posting as a 16 or 17 year old. Like . . .a year ago.”

“In so far as bragging rights go. I don't think that there is anyone who has been posting on this board for longer than I have.


I am willing to concede that it is possible that Nigal has . . .if he knows when in 1997 he started posting. I am fairly confident that mine was August, because I was planning the ADK trip.

It is also possible that my first post was actually August of 1996. I am not sure whether my first trip to the ADK was 1996 or 1997.

I suppose Matt could answer when the board went on line.”

“I will have my first anniversary next March. What do I get?”

“duh. That would be just over 6 years 1997-2003.

Good god I need the time back . . .I could be president.”

“I can’t remember the exact date but it doesn’t really matter anyhow does it? My ramblings are still irrelevant no matter how long I’ve been posting! I prefer to limit my bragging to my big whiener. LOL!

Man Lee, I miss the good old days of flaming Naturekid. Wonder what ever happened to the little scamp. Probably has his own cult by now.”

“i only have braggin lefts

1 year”

“If you look at the gear reviews, the earliest dates I could find are about 5/97.

I do not know when the board started in relation to the gear review page(s)”

“Well, yeah!

Geez Nigal, you have YOUR own cult!”

“The watermelon head cult! Long live NIGAL!!”

“Perhaps '99 ?? I got my feelings hurt a couple of times and left and returned--nobody can hurt my feelings anymore--I have rhino skin :)”
