Merely curious.....View Messages“Well, I, for one, used to be a nasty, heartless conservative, and now I'm a bleeding heart liberal. Or was it the other way around? Jeez, I can't even remember what my views are anymore!” 11:12:23 AM 7/14/04 “"Or was it the other way around? Jeez, I can't even remember what my views are anymore!" Hey! It's John Kerry!” 11:13:26 AM 7/14/04 “SE - In my case, yes. When I first came here, I was starting to soften up on issues. Since I've been here, I have fully turned in my Brown Shirt, armband and Jack boots and have become a full fledged independant, which my former side of the aisle still mislabels as a lib, but that's is there arror, not mine. Seems as though that it a fact that if someone disagrees with the right on this board, the old dirty "L" word starts flying, which of course leads to the fantasic political discourse that has made TT famous.... (rolls eyes twice) No mind, they need to exsist in order for the other side to exsist, as they both feed off of each other. There is very little that is offered at times, other than the standard political trolling, or misinteruptations. At any rate, I have also been enfluanced by TT with Mutt's predictions of the pending oil crisis. He was one of the major reasons I dumped my car at the begining of the summer. Thanks be to Mutt, yet again, as I've saved a ton of cash with that move. I owe ya a 12 pack. Things are here to change and enfluance opinions, you just have to dig through the pile of fertilizer to get it.” 11:45:26 AM 7/14/04 “I have also been enfluanced by TT with Mutt's predictions of the pending oil crisis. He was one of the major reasons I dumped my car at the begining of the summer Good Lord! Instead of a 12-pack, I think a small, reasonable fee of, say, 10% of what you would have spent on gas and maintenance over the life of your car would be more appropriate. Seriously, Peak Oil or not, glad you're saving money.” 1:40:28 PM 7/14/04 “Oh my God. It's getting to be a 60's love-in. Anyone got a joint and some Mazzola?” 2:11:06 PM 7/14/04 “I'm merely curious about this: There are fuego threads. Are there feugo trips? What would you regular fuegoers do if you all hiked together on the same trip and shared the same campfire? I would love to watch that discussion.” 2:23:44 PM 7/14/04 “I think teeth would be flying like popcorn, ruby.” 2:26:46 PM 7/14/04 “Ruby - One never knows for sure what will happen in group hike. That's why I keep up on my studies.” 2:33:30 PM 7/14/04 “I sure hope not. One of my favorite quotes is: "People generally quarrel because they cannot argue." -Gilbert K. Chesterton And another one pertinent to this topic: "The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed." -Carl Jung” 2:35:22 PM 7/14/04 “Tuesday night's episide of NOVA was all about fuego.” 2:39:37 PM 7/14/04 “-i +o” 2:40:12 PM 7/14/04 “Impressive, NS! I want you with me if I'm ever in a dark alley. (Oh, yeah. And my trusty Beringer. lol)” 2:42:57 PM 7/14/04 “ ![]() Watcha gonna do, Ruby, whack 'em in the head with the bottle?” 2:46:36 PM 7/14/04 “Could-a been the chablis.....” 3:04:12 PM 7/14/04 “Oops. I was thinking Derringers and Berettas. That's what happens when I think too fast. Dang blonde hair. Although a good Beringer would be a fine accompaniment to most situations.” 3:07:32 PM 7/14/04 Ruby “It's exactly Nowslimmer that you don't want to be in the dark alley with. I don't think a fuego hike would be as flaming as the posts. People tend to be much nicer in person...add a little alcohol though...” 3:09:03 PM 7/14/04 Ruby “You would trust me to go in a dark alley with you? Why would we be gong there? I can thing of better places. LOL Could I trust you, taking me in a dark alley with your Beringer?” 3:12:45 PM 7/14/04 “Ruby wants to go in a dark alley with Tom Berringer? Nowslimmer as protection must be for Tom.” 3:14:42 PM 7/14/04 “Yee haw! Beringer and Tom Berringer (purr) AND Nowslimmer in a dark alley! Every girl's dream date.” 3:28:37 PM 7/14/04 Ruby “OK! I'm willin try your, "Every girl's dream date." And I'm not even worried about Tom or Jon! In case you're undecided, I have references: Disclosures by nowslimmer NS:: Trip Report - My Old Flame Visited” 3:37:21 PM 7/14/04 “"What would you regular fuegoers do if you all hiked together on the same trip and shared the same campfire?" I'd have to guess they sit around and get stoned and can't argue anyhow. LOL!” 3:46:33 PM 7/14/04 “NS, Well, it is so tempting. But I'm more than satisfied with Jon. He's my real live dream date (swoon). Nigal, throwing that in the mix would make the show that much more amusing for an observer.” 3:49:51 PM 7/14/04 “"Nigal, throwing that in the mix would make the show that much more amusing for an observer......." Beautiful things happen, once ones mind is freed........!” 4:12:53 PM 7/14/04 “Hmmmmmm. Guess I better not use those references again.” 4:17:16 PM 7/14/04 “"Nigal, throwing that in the mix would make the show that much more amusing for an observer." Well, I’d have to disagree. Personally politics don’t belong on the trail. Bring it up with me on the trail and I’ll crack a joke and wave it off if I can. Debating politics around the fire ring is bad enough but when its with someone who is drunk or stoned and it’s just plain sad.” 4:17:17 PM 7/14/04 “I never argue politics when stoned. If people just leave me alone to giggle, I'm just fine.” 5:08:34 PM 7/14/04 “Just prop him up in a corner; he'll be fine....” 5:21:34 PM 7/14/04 “and use me as a bad example (no one's entirely worthless).” 5:22:55 PM 7/14/04 “My brother had a friend like that. He'd show up at parties with a half gallon of cheap scotch and a straw -- then he'd clear out a place against the wall where nobody would step on him during the night, LOL” 5:33:24 PM 7/14/04 “This is just crazy. Mutt's a hero!!!! Mutt, ya crazy lughead!! Lets hear a Tarzan yell the next time you're swinging from tree to tree. And -- when are ya gonna host a tree hoppers hike?? LOL! As far as fuego hikes, I've hiked with Stratdewd. It was fine. And then there's gojo. I made the mistake of commenting on his Confederate flag bandana in the opening moments of the first time we ever backpacked together. OMG! I thought the rhetoric would never end -- and it hasn't. LOLOL!” 6:30:54 PM 7/14/04 “Most of the trail was a loop, but at the very end we doubled back on the same part as the beginning... gojo: I don't remember seeing that downed tree lizs: well, sheeyat no, you were on a tirade then LOL!” 6:32:36 PM 7/14/04 “Lizs - get us away from our pc's and we're just people. If I ever hike with you, however, I think I'm likely to hear a tirade or two...or three...or four...” 6:37:21 PM 7/14/04 “Yeah, Mutt's a hero.... to the folks at MILK-BONE®!” 6:56:06 PM 7/14/04 “Yup, saving up the tirades for ole Snake Eyes!!” 7:30:31 PM 7/14/04
