I think we should have our own!”

“Oops:

link”

“All opposed? Motion Carried!!”

“But where do we host the contest?”

“Somewhere close to me sounds good”

“This is so sexist. This is disgusting and shameful and base. I can't believe this would even be seriously considered. A scantily clad Miss Backpacker competition? And I thought backpacking women were above this nonsense, and backpacking men much more respectful. I am shocked. Forgive me, BUT LET'S DO IT! YAAAAAAAAAAA!!! THIS IS REALLY COOL!!! WOO HOO!!!”

“no matter how much you beg, i will not wear a backpack in a bikini...


well ok”

“This is about as close to backpacking in a bikini that I've seen

http://www.csupomona.edu/~rosenkrantz/personal/newgirl.htm”

“Wow! Too bad there weren't pics of the topless handstand!”

“hey twofoot, you gear freak also?

its cool.”

“Let the nominating commence!

Fire up those webcams!”

“How can you judge a backpacker if they don't have their boots on?

and what's this crap!

"Base Backpackers, set up by French hotel group Accor SA, is investing heavily, with plans for 20 modern hostels in Australia within the next four years, some featuring a girls-only "sanctuary," with beauty kits and Egyptian cotton sheets."

>gag me!<”

“yeah, i don't think they mean "backpacking" in the same way we do...those girls are not nearly so hard-core as some girls here, such as yours truly.”

“inDEED.

<aHem>”

“HA!!”

“lyra backpacks?

no way?

*kisses*”

“In Europe "backpacking" seems to mean traveling with a backpack and usually staying in hostels or backpackers camps.”

“I bet lyra's backpack matches her shoes. ;-)”

“yeah, yeah, yeah. i'll take any attention, even the bad kind.
;-)”

“Who wants to see hairy armpits and an out of control bush?”

“mapleleaf,
I used to be a ultra packer(50 lbs the norm) with a wide load sign accross to back, but now that I am older and I hope wiser, it down to only 25 to 30 lbs. But I still have most of that heavy gear!”

“umm my sister drives with two feet.

I will not get in the car wtht her.
oh and she can not make right turns... now thast scary!”

“I once backpacked in a bikini top and shorts - once.

It hurt too much! My shoulders got all rubbed and raw. Boo to bikini backapcking - it's just silly.”

“We need to bring those six women over to the US and have a Miss TT backpacker 2004 and judge them on their knowledge of backpacking...and their bikini's.”

“or just the bikinis.”

“Come on girls we could really show them!! You guys are just sick pups in heat!”

“I nominate Tarabull.”

“Don't be mad cottonsocks that chili won't let you compete!

I nominate ScorchFire”

“someone needs to nominate me or I'm leaving!!”

“Just start a I wasn't nominated for Miss theBackpacker 2004, leaving TT thread.”

“eewwww...”

“Don't be mad cottonsocks that chili won't let you compete!

Quite obviously, Dub has not seen me goading her on in these types of situations.

Let her tell you the story about our first date sometime.

I already had a handful of ones and the table cleared.”

“umm who said it has to be a female?




I vote for treebeard, just something about those branches grrrrr baby.....”

“Thank god she didn't say it was about tb's "low hanging fruit".”

“Ok, we need some handstand judges for the prelim round.”

“Let her tell you the story about our first date sometime.

I can't wait! It's gotta be interesting if you're letting her tell it. Come on Cottonsocks, enlighten us!”

“WTF? It used to be interesting when I told the stories.

Now I am better off to sit around and listen to cs gab. Of course, gettin a word in can be difficult.

At least my vocabulary doen't revolve around the f* word. When I say that I am (A) really pissed (B) 5 sheets to the wind or (C) the #&%!$ has really hit the fan.”

“I hope your kids don't read the forum...next thing you know they find out that mommy uses the f word a lot and then they decide to drop the f bomb every few words with the justification that mom does it all the time.”

“As fate would have it, we had that discussion not too long ago.

But then again, if my kids read these threads, the f* word would be the least of my problems.”

“LOL, especially if they read my "how to build a proper beer bong" in the deleted beer bong thread a couple days ago.”

“"oh and she can not make right turns... now thast scary!"

Barry Goldwater's plane had no left wing.”

“Driving with both feet is nothing out of the ordinary. If you drive a car with manual transmission. Making 3 left turns to go left, now that's just a waste of time.”

“Cottonsocks has already told the story of their first date during the Savage Gulf hike.
What goes on on the trail, stays on the trail. ;-)”

“I second the nomination of Scorchy for president, er, I mean the miss backpacker thing.”

“Aw, thanks, Buddur. You're too kind.

Does the title come w/ a Tiara? I'm only competing if it comes w/ a Tiara. And a sash. I want a sash if I win, too.”

“Would you then change your trailtalk name to "Tiarabull" ?”

“The rules are the winner wears a sash and tiara and nothing else.”

“HA! I forfeit.”

“I second that must hike.”
