Hey Artex

“I just wanted to let you know that I will be spending the next two or three weekends skiing.


Moohahahahahahahahahaha!”

“You stupid, no good, bowlegged- billy goat! You daughter of a motherless goat! You pig-eating swine! You moronic, pathetic, good for nothing, loud mouth, BRAGGART!

Oh yeah, have fun.”

“Call me James!


8)”

“Hey Artex - did I tell you that tomorrow I'm going to the Whites in NH for 4 nights?

neener neener neener!”

“Yeah me too.....”

“Is Artex missing Snow Country? I'm headed to Taos this weekend. :-P”

“It's snowy and mountainous everywhere except in Artex country. It must really suck to be you.”

“me too!
well not tomorrow and not for four nights...but I am going to the White's!
o(=D”

“Gremlin's in the Whites too. Not the same location as Twigeater, Pete, and myself, but where there is SNOW and MOUNTAINS

Howz the weather and terrain in Tampa these days? You finish the Florida 150 Footers yet?”

“Yeah but it's going to be 80 degrees this Saturday!”

“aaaccchh!!!!! I'm melting from the thought.”

“Hey! I'm going to Idaho! There's mountains there too!

In fact I think Idaho's lowest elevation is 10X higher than Florida's highest!”

“Pathman that's to much!”

“I'm leaving for Boulder and Crested Butte and Vail in six hours, be gone for 12 days. Wahoo!!!!! Nothing better than New Years Eve in a Rocky Mountain bar!”

“I hate all of you.”

“Don't hate Artex be happy dude!!!



8p”

“I hate hate!”

“We'll be playing in the snow also, in Garmish, (Germany I think). We got cousins in the military over there. They got a line on cheap tickets to get there and back, and they know the area. Good times coming!!!!!”

“May be fitting in a last minute dayhike up in the ADK's.

{:P”

“If Artex has half a brain he'll head to the beach and look for tango.”

“Ahhhh, the beach- it's freezing up here.”

“A freezing beach in Montana? Damn, they thought of everything!”

“Here Artex- up by our place in MT”

“Wow, great pic, aero! I just got done running in 78 degree heat. I'll gladly trade with you.

Geo - perhaps I'll see her and many other lovely young ladies from my kayak this weekend. I'll be doing a big paddle on Saturday.







By the way, you all are still a bunch of bastards!”

“Yo Bastage! (That means you, lowlander!)

You and everbody else here have a nice New Year!

I'll make sure I take plenty of pictures to show when I get back...”

“Have a safe and fun trip. Say hello to my relatives if you meet any of them.”

“How'd you get your trail name? Does it have anything to do with a movie?”

“It used to be Fartex, but they took away the F for bad behavior.”

“LOL”

“Yes.. starts with "Neverending", ends with "Story". I'm named after a damn horse.”

“Yup, that's what I figured, BUT it's spelled Artax.”

“I've seen it spelled both ways, but "Artex" more than "Artax". The latter spelling sounds like a tarriff placed upon pirates.”

“LOL. I just bought the DVD yesterday and it's spelled Artax on the DVD.”

“Is that a Muppets movie?”

“Nope....



FALKOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!”

“savy?”

“I never watched it, but my sons watched it over and over and over....”

“Was that the one with the rock giant?”

“Your copy had a typo.”

“The only reference in the IMDb entry I could find to the horse's name was on this page, where it is spelled "Artax".

So break out the Jolly Roger and the grog, matees!”

“Artax seems like a wierd way to spell it, but that's probably due in large part to me spelling it with an "e" all these years. Nevertheless, it's good to be different. ;-)”

“Word.

Yes, it's the one with the rock giant (Rock Biter was his name).”

“Hey ya bum, AmyG dedicated a pic just for you in the FYAO lean-to and you never bothered to look.

Go now while she still loves you.
Oonga boonga at FAYO”

“Whoa! I missed that pic! That's really bizarre someone put that there way back in '88, unless you guys are pulling my leg.

Ummmmm... FAYO. Freeze ass your off? Bit dyslexic today, gear boy?”

“Awww crap! You're just like Yam. She hammered me about the same dang thing.

nah, not pulling your leg. Shoot, we would have spelled it like you say it if we were. We got an incredible laugh when we saw it though.”

“Yes, that only makes sense.. but of course, I know you guys would never graffiti to begin with.

Well, you can always hammer yam back because she obviously has dyslexia with her first name.”

“you'd think she'd change it to May and get it over with.”

“Or just use her real first name: Tuwanna.”

“I think I was already in a coma then.”
