Hello all!

“Just thought I would say hi. Got this site from a guy I work with and I think it is great. I spend all of my free time in the woods, mostly in National forests in alabama. Banged around Sipsey a few times, spent a couple of nights on the Pinhoti. I am in the process of changing careers from teaching to one in wildlife biology, so I decided to quit lurking and introduce myself. If any of you work for agencies such as department of conservation, or fish & wildlife agencies, I would love to get some info from you. Look forward to maybe meeting some of you on the trail.”

“Well what guy to you work with mister troll?”

“Hey, he filled out his profile, including an email address, so he is probably for real!

Hello, Joker! I'm in Alabama too, Huntsville specifically. There's a Sipsey trip coming up in November and you'll be able to meet some of us, if you care to.”

“theres several folks in the Huntsville area.

welcome”

“Teachers canNOT be trolls. It would be rude.”

“[b]TROLL!!!!![b]









welcome to TT”

“lol, I know - I'll believe everybody and sometimes pay for it, I'm just messin w/ the guy - welcome to the world of trail talk, I hope your stay treats you well, and don't forget to stop by the gift shop on your way out.”

“Male or female? If female:

What are you wearing right now?
Where are you?
How old are you?”

“Welcome to TT, virgin sacrifice at 10.”

“Welcome!

I'm from Huntsville too. I've been on one TT trip and it was great. I second the invitation to join the Sipsey trip.”

“Well, it's a "he", BearMagnetty...they "banged around Sipsey a few times."

If it is a female, I would be surprised. Not many women here ever use the word "banged" in public, anyways.

Welcome to TT!”

“"Sipsey" is code for "Hooters" on TT, btw.”

“Pictures. I *ahem*, I mean we want pictures!”

“Thanks for the tip, bearmagnet!”

“Last trip I took to Sipsey was to the big tree. Pretty scenery. I read about the photo trip coming up, I would like to try to make it, but I don't get out of work until around 11 am Sat and it is about a 2.5 hour drive. (I run a Sat. morning clinic for high school kids injured during Fri. night football.) Are there any rules or taboos for these trips? I have been on organized trips where drinking was discouraged, others where they brought a radio and blasted it the whole time, and others where everybody brought .22's and shot up cans the whole trip. It is nice to know what is appropriate and expected before each trip. BTW, I am not a troll, I spend much of my online time at bladeforums.com. Come visit if you have any questions about blades. They also have a good wilderness survival forum.”

“There is a newspaper in Washington called "The Blade"”

“I think guns and radios are taboo on most TT trips.

It's taboo NOT to bring booze on TT trips!


Pictures please”

“Yep, definitely male, Bearmagnet. You'll have to wait until the next newbie.”

“Usually, loud music, drinking, shooting, knife throwing, and other debauchery is all encouraged on TT trips....”

“really with the guns? now knife throwing? that's perfectly acceptable!”

“Not only acceptable... ENCOURAGED!!”

“This is pretty much an LNT crowd, so the radio blasting and shooting cans with a .22 are discouraged. Drinking can be a hot topic too, depending on where the hike is. F'r instance, the Sipsey is in a dry county, so drinking at sites near the trailhead can and has resulted in people being ticketed and fined. On every trip however, somebody brings a flask or bottle, so it's accepted.

“For shame all of you. Polluting this person's mind with the thoughts of drunken disobience. You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves!








Hey Bit, remember that Savage Gulf hike where I got all sloppy drunk and streaked though camp! That was the greatest.”

“If there's a hot female banging around Sipsey then I'm moving! Can I find "Sipsey" on Mapquest????

BTW - why must it be male, because he/she reads the Washington Blade? That mag is not for homosexual males only, dammit!”

“streaking and skinny dipping are also encouraged on TT trips... apparantly.”

“lol BKG...I think I was passed out in my tent at the time...”

“BKG, can we expect that to be your Halloween costume at YRSF??? LOL!”

“LNT also means bring a trowel or two for when a body needs to be......taken care of.”

“and remember friends will help you move,

but

TT friends will help you move the body!”

“Which last resting place of a TT'er, who didn't bring their own alcohol on a trip, better fits LNT?

“* laughs at BearMagnet *

Well, you got one chance in three, BM. A quick check against M Woodard in Huntsville shows up with three entries -- two male, one female. So unless mwoodard@charter.net is Mary Ann, you'll have to accept the fact that JokrsWylde is mostly likely Matthew Woodard, or Milan Woodard.

But hey, if you are crazy enough to stalk a newbie and get all tore up over potentially a new female on TrailTalk -- here's where her house is:



Did you want her phone number too? (256) 971-0410.

But you are really going to have to calm down, BearMagnet. Folks are going to freak out if you keep chasing the potential available females and salivating.

;)

“:O

I'm gonna freak them out???????

Look what you posted!!!!!!!!!!”

“Hey guys, I never said I am from Huntsville...not sure where that came from. I am in central Al. And my wife is definitely glad that I am a male. Sorry Bear. -Michal”

“JokrsWylde: hehe.. I was just having fun with BearMagnet. Welcome to TT.”

“NEXT!”

“Welcome to TT.
I'm on the MS Gulf Coast and drive up thru Montgomery and B'ham on my way to most backpacking trips.”

“Welcome to TT! We like people from Alabama round here but if you're a Bama fan you must know we have a quota limit on Bama fans which is 1. Dayhiker is the resident Bama fan as of right now but if you would like to unseat him for the title of lone Bama fan we can schedule a cage match for Saturday.

Sounds like you have an interesting life and wide variety of interests. Glad you’re here.”

“I bet Dayhiker is his buddy.”

“i bet he's dayhiker's troll.

didn't dayhiker once say on a thread how big his knife collection was?”

“We will try hard not to hold you knowing dayhiker against you.”

“But it will be difficult.”

“Welcome. Pardon those around here that are using their "Halloween trail names". You'll probably be confused until late November, LOL!”

“"Troll!"

:-) OK, I know, I'm late... :-)

Welcome to TT, though! :-) TTers are a bit crazy at times, but it's a good type of crazy! (well, most of the time!) :-)

Thinkbubelz & I've just met a few people this past weekend and if those near you are just as nice as the people we met, you should have fun if you hook up with them for a hike!!”

“TD just skeered the hell outta everyone here.


STALKER!!!!!!!”

“Ok.......y'all should have caught it when he said he was 2-1/2 hours from Sipsey that he wasn't from Huntsville.....there are ALOT of TTers in Alabama...woohoooo...


Welcome to TT.....it is always crazy here....always something going on.....now..I need to work on my trip report......”

“Pictures?

We wanna see your booty :DWe need to know what your packing on the trail ;) Inquiring minds want to know how big your pack size is!!”

“Do y'all try and keep track of who scares away new posters?

Do you have some kind of symbol you can stamp on your computer? Are there any Aces out there?

I think TD gets this one, no?”

“*laughs *”

“We wanna see your booty :DWe need to know what your packing on the trail ;) Inquiring minds want to know how big your pack size is!!”

It's not the size of the pack...it's how good you stuff it....at least that's what my wife tells me....wonder why she always snickers when she tells me that?”
