Ithaca! Site of the second annual cook- off!

“Ha ha!
You started it! Talking bad about my (not even in my possession) boots!”

“Dem boots is made for kickin'
And that's just what they'll do....

Bobo, I didn't know that Kirsty MacColl had died!

Scorch Ness Monster, I like it!”

“Mapleleaf or Treebeard..has anyone bailed or does anyone have room at their site to share? I've decided I'd like to come up but don't want to camp a mile from where the action will be. Let me know if there is still room available.
NJpacker”

“My family and I are in one tent on site #45.

shep is in another tent there.

Maybe you could sqeeze in with him or someone else on another site.”

“I'm sure we can make room NJ!”

“Yeah, NJP is probably all skin and bones after the PA Hike, I'm sure we can stuff him somewhere!!!

You could probably use a good meal too, so stay away from Tango's campsite.

;~]”

“Bobo, you're a hard man!”

“TT...no threat on Bobo's part. He's really a good guy. I was all skin and bones before the hike !! LMAO........

Capn'Bobo..I can't get enough to eat since I got home, so the offer of fine dining sounds great..I'll even eat what Tango cooks..”

“ I was all skin and bones before the hike !! LMAO........

Very true! You should have seen him in those tights ; )”

“I can see it now.

There may be alliances between the cookers, ala Survivor.

Hmmmmmmm, who to team-up with???????”

“You could probably use a good meal too, so stay away from Tango's campsite.

The demand for my cuisine will be so severe, you might get snapped like a twig NJ!!!”

“severe, as in the need for Pepto-Bismal and Tums!!!!

heeheehee!”

“Reh hehehehehee (scooby doo laugh).

That bobo is just too funny.

No one's snapping NJpacker! I'll be his bodyguard. Anyone who tries to get near him I'll do the PeeWee Herman dance from the TJ Mt. trip!”

“Scorchie-just remember Pee Wee's "dance" got him arrested!

And as for you take an engish comprehension class the word severe is modifying the demand not the cooking!”

“Eh, I've always been a wild one ; )”

“Thanks Scorchie...I knew you liked those tights. Not bad for the old guy, heh !! And thanks for takin' my back. I think I'll survive, food or not. Besides, I'm sure there will be enough cookin' to go around!! At least by past reports, I know Capn' Bobo and Treebeard can both cook. I got good at yogiing during my hike so I know I can beg a meal !! LOL..

Listen..I'll bring the fire and cinnamon buzz, maybe even wear the tights if you promise to do the Pee Wee Herman again...”

“If it means to see those tights again, I triple-dog promise!!!!”

“Is that anything like a pee-pee dance?

Oooooo, I gotta go!”

“Hey NJ, didn't you wear those tights on the Quehanna Trail last year? Looking forward to seeing you again!

To answer your question from up above, I believe site 52 is totally open. Treebeard will have to confirm that one though.”

“Where is that no-good New Yorker?”

“Here I is!

NJ, baby!!! Good to see ya back. Glad you are coming along. And no, we will not re-name the trip, "Ithaca: Men In Tights"

There are a few openings, I am sure. Gremlin just got a site and he may have room for you. Or resident Slum Lord, Wounded Knee, may have an apartment or two he hasn't rented out yet.”

“Looks like site # 52 also has openings on it, Mike. Wounded Knee, if this is so and the last update of 6/4/04 on the trips page is accurate, then fix NJ Packer up, ok? Maple, please check the list of sites and see if this is correct also, please...”

“Yeah, that looks like the way it satnds. #52 has openings.”

“24 days and counting!”

“Ithaca will never be the same.”

“Hey..thanks guys. When things get hashed out, let me know where I'll be, when I should arrive and to whom I owe money. Look...I seriously don't want to get anyone shook up so maybe I'll just leave the tights at home!! Bwaaaaaaaaa!!”

“I seriously don't want to get anyone shook up so maybe I'll just leave the tights at home!! Bwaaaaaaaaa!!"

Uhhh, I think I'll second that!”

“Please name your dish and category!”

“I graciously offer my services as taste tester.”

“Shucks Tango, I won't know until I go shopping Saturday morning in Ithaca.

Whoa!
What if a bunch of us descend on the grocery store at once!
It could get out of hand and the cops could be called!”

“Maybe we should warn Wegman's”

“I am at site 13 on loop 2. Where are we all meeting?”

“At site 13 loop #2, where else?”

“I will be making a salad side, but exactly how or what ingredients it will take will depend on how well stocked Wegman's is.”

“Well, Grem, you booked the site before I had a chance to tell you where we were. We have loop 4 (most of it) and party central is site 46.

Tango, I see you let the cat (or chicken) out of the bag on your dish. We did say that the cooks did not have to reveal their choices beforehand. But, alas, being a nice guy and the holder of last year's championship, I cannot let you be the only one who has revealed their plans. Therefore, being that the dish is going to taste so damned good anyway, I will unmask my intended creation. I will be making chicken marsala.

Now, the rest of you do not have to reveal your dished. that still stands...”

“What if the "Unknown" campsites were filled with other TrailTalkers from an alternate universe???

And we were feeling bad for them!!!!”

“Stop that Bobo you're scaring me.
lol”

“OH! Did Tango reveal her dish???
hee hee hee!!!!

I think Tango is a Dish!”

“Right! And what if loops two and four were parallel universe in loop form? We could be eating with Bizarro versions of ourselves.

Holy pork butts, Batman!

Can you just imagine Bizarro Bobo saying, "Fire good! Me stick head in it!"”

“If I stood next to my Bizarro self, wouldn't I be beside myself?”

“Him be beside self!”

“In the parallel universe, Bizarro MarkO is a normal, run-of-the-mill guy!”

“And short!”

“Take a nap and look what happens...I wake up in bizarro world!

Thank you CB.

What's the biggie about 'revealing' your dish? Like some sort of cold war secret against the Russians. LOL”

“i wanna taste test!”

“"You could probably use a good meal too, so stay away from Tango's campsite.
