Don't know how long I can use this Board

“Wow I was coming here expecting to be able to see some advice for camping/hiking gear and basicaly this board is 80% political debate. Why not just call it the political debate board. I could really care less about what you think of Bush or what he is supposedly doing or not doing.”

“Uncheck the "Chatter" box and you'll miss most of the political crap.

Post a thread telling us about your favorite backpacking destination!”

“Thanks , That is so much better. I mean all the Krap about politicts here on a Outdoor/Backpacker board. Horrible. Hope Bush wins again just to give most of them something more to cry about :)”

“Regardless of who wins, this board will be nearly unusable for a week before and after the election.

We should set up a "Backpacking Blitz" for those two weeks, push all the poli threads off the page, lol...”

“So, Viper, what do you talk about around a campfire?”

“Lol.....this sux now when i uncheck the chatter box i wont see this thread anymore.....oh well......thats probably Bush's fault too :)”

“I'll save up all my trip reports from the fall and post them then.”

“oh well......thats probably Bush's fault too :)"

You said it, not me!”

“viper, guess what, we also get to ignore morons like yourself by clicking "ignore user". Later dumba$$.”

“Don't be hatin'...

”

“Oh around the camp fire we usually talk about how the kids are doing. What happened this last year for everyone. Who is doing what now and hobbies and stuff. My wifes Brother just got back from Iraq and a friend has been in both Afganistan and Iraq so we talk about that(both glad they are back but had no problem being there like the majority of guys there). Talk about Football and Hockey,Hunting, Fishing quite a bit. i would admitt there is about 5 minutes of political talk but then that dies out cause its just not very interesting and we all pretty much think along the same(republican) lines so we just don't really get into any real debates. Most of the talk is about life in general and whats been happening with everyone.”

“Wait till Viper meets bales.”

“Yeah, yeah... we suck; you're leaving.... Heard it a thousand times (then they don't leave).

Try to be a little more original, mmmmmmmmmkay?


So you think republicans are great.... no wonder you don't want to talk politics! LMAO”

“Well, welcome to TT. You can find your niche here, I'm sure. You a basketball fan?”

“Viper, the TT blissninny brigade consists of: tilt (the quintessential blissninny), treebeard, buddha bear, violin, bitpusher, tom terrific, and probably a few others I'm forgetting.

Just for your edification.”

“We are the proud few!


-The world according to Mutt”

“As far as foreign policy goes, I am your Lord and Messiah! Just call me Jebus.”

“I call you the hegemaniac.”

“That is true, Mutt! I can just see you now: standing next your wall maps of Iraq and Afghanistan with a pointer in your hand! Bomb targets all laid out with push pin flags in different colors. Anxiously awaiting the map of North Korea to come. Yes! Generalisimo Mutt!


Just messing with ya, man! :)”

“Most of us just BS here, but the key to this board is the Trips.
Most of us are pretty hardcore backpackers (well, except for the trolls and politcal junkies).

Go to the Trips Page, button is over on the upper right, sign up and hike with us!”

“Hey, you forgot me, Muttonhead!”

“Here's a few more characterizations:

“TT hammock expert wannabe: geobeet

“well done Mutt! You definitely have your own style...”

“TT Leftover Smegma Thread Starter.
See, Mutt, you forgot a category.”

“TT attack dog: mapleleaf


thats potty mouth to you!”

“Down, mapleleaf! Down!”

“LoL I never said I was leaving I just said there was WAY more political stuff on a board where I was thinking id find more Hiking stuff. Now that I see I can turn on and off the political stuff im ok. I turn it on wen I want to see what kind of comical stuff the liberals have thought up and then off when I really want to see backapcking,hiknig,gear stuff. I don't hate liberals and tree huggers I just think they are misguided and should seek psych treatment.”

“I can just see you now: standing next your wall maps of Iraq and Afghanistan with a pointer in your hand!

I know, I missed my calling in life!”

“It's the old, "I don't care about politics and I'm above discussing them, but I'm gonna get my shots in" tactic, huh?”

“Oh and yeah I like college BasketBAll but not Pro. The Pro thing kinda went away for me after Bird and Magic went away. I love the tournament but my team never gets anywhere(St Bonaventure) and was disgraced last year cause of that player deal. Right when they were on the rise they shoot themselves in the foot over a player who was no good anyways :(”

“It's good that you have a sense of humor, too, Mutt!”

“Nah I was in the first Gulf War so I don't really follow too much whats happening. Im glad we kik the krap out of Saddam with little problem but don't like the way things are going now still losing guys...but thats just part of war always has been and will be. Guess im just talking here while im waiting to see if anyone answers my boot questions. I will soon go to ESPN to see whats going on there. I don't really "enjoy" political talk but I do follow it in a sense and right now its about the only thing thats actually being talked about here.”

“Mutt's new product: The Hege-O-Matic!”

“wow, i made the list! thanks Mutt...i'm strangely flattered. LOL! i totally don't get the "Leftover Smegma" oversite, though.

so basically, Viper isn't above talking about politics, just as long as they aren't liberal politics. hmmmmm?
;-P”

“he does tree, you just need to wwed out all the nasty things he sometimes says. makes me laugh!”

“Jeez, how many sides of a mouth can one guy have?”

“I like talking to Mutt! He's a very bright, warped man!”

“I don't know Geobeet ask Kerry he seems to be on both sides of every issue :). Its not being above politicts its just doing something while im waiting to see if I got the right or decent boots.”

“Viper, the non-backpacking talk is sometimes annoying, sometimes amusing. I try to stay away from the politcal stuff - I agree it is boring! I am a gear ho and love being on the trail, who cares about politics?

Oh, and Bush sucks.

But really, that is as far as I'll go. :-)”

“If the boots wear out, they're not decent. If they wear well, they're decent. Time will tell.

Bye!”

“It's official: Viper's a fool who can't even buy the right boots.”

“so this guy starts a thread about how its not a backpacking board but more of a poltical board, but then starts a thread to moan about it being more of a political threads then backpacking, but in the middle of his non political thread he starts talking about politics.

did i get it right?

Mutt, care to shed some light on this?”

“Somebody's posting as our Pottymouth. There are no !@#$%^&*()_, or +'s in there!”

“Yeah but someone must have worn this brand of boot before Geo thats all I was chacking on. I can't get these here in PA and was just wondering how they were. I read reviews on the brand but not the style the reviews I saw were for heavire backpacking/mountaineering boots not the light hikers.”

“If you weren't so busy bemoaning the political discussions, your brain might have had time to figure out how to use the search function at the bottom of the page or eve the filters at the top.

Dude, you're freakin brilliant.”

“The Hege-O-Matic! Now exclusively offered to world superpowers for zero down and zero interest for the first six months!”

“Oh, I just wanted to mention in passing that there are some rabid, hate-mongering neo-cons on this board who get their facts from the republican party spin machine and wouldn't know a political debate from their ass, but I'm just hanging out waiting on some hiking boot information. Don't mind me.”

“Mutt, care to shed some light on this?

Hey, I'm not trolling as viper, if that's what you mean.”

“oh there was a gear question in there?

crap im getting a headache!”
