Bring Back Dunadan!!!!

“PS - If we actually met it'd probably go like this.

lizs: Hey bass turd
day: Hey b!tch.
lizs: Wanna beer?
day: Sure, here's some dessert to go with it.”

“gotcha.

but i think i'd look for signs of poison in that beer and that dessert! ;-) j/k”

“BRING BACK DUNADAN BRING BACK DUNADAN!”

“Hey, no marqueeing anymore?”

“Nope, Matt put it in the filter a long time ago.”

“Thank god.”

“What's marqueeing?”

“Nevermind, that's the scrolling html stuff. Correct?”

“Who's Dunadan?”

“Hey dayhiker - leave me out of this #&%!$er!

Here's a bet for you: I'll bet I have more gear than you (retail value or pieces - your choice).

Loser can't post all week.”

“One week penalty - a much saner bet.”

“VioliN - Ha! If you lose, you wouldn't miss a beat with all your troll names! That's a real sucker bet.

But then again, some one would have to verify the gear. Violin would finally be exposed!

I might get in on this, if each piece of esbit fuel counts as an item.

“V - I'll bet you do too. My primary shelter is a homebuilt tarptent. My primary bag is a homebuilt down quilt. I tend to go lightweight on most gear, but won't pay the high prices for glitzy commercial stuff when I can make a better product and have it be cheaper. There's an engineer for ya.”

“OK - make it 2 years then and you're on.”

“Why would you want me gone for 2 years? I don't write haiku. Heck, I don't even read the stuff.”

“Gentle trolling by Dayhiker has V suckered into a stupid 2 year bet.

Way to go DH.”

“Funny, when I try to troll I screw up and when I don't try, I wind up trolling.”

“I wouldn't bet Violin dayhiker. He'd just lie about what he owns.”

“I'd be more apt to complie a list of gear for a 3 day trip in moderate temps and see who can be lighter. I'd win that one.”

“Moderate temps in your neck of the woods are higher so yes you would win.”

“I can be under 20#'s with food and water for 4 days with highs around 60 and lows around 35.

I did a 25 mile trip that was a single overnighter at about 14#'s. We made good time during the day.”

“The only way Dunadan is likely to come back if matt asks him to and if Violin apologizes for his own existance. V - you up to the challenge.”

“Okay.....Okay....

It's time for Judge Chile to rule in this matter.

Gambling is illegal in most states where TT is available. Therefore, the online bets are null and void and without effect.

Thus, all participants may resume their rantings in regard to all subjects as TT is clearly not limited to stories about hiking.

Be it so ordered.”

“Talk about your judicial tyranny! Foul! I call FOUL!”

“i think Dunadan and Violin should totally make out.”

“lyra - talk about girls gone wild!”

“hahaha!!”

“yech! Thank you very much, lyra!”

“well now Aero, i bet they'd let you join in! :-D”

“When is the Bring Back Artex thread going to be up and running?”

“I'll have to wait until 5:00 when I'm good and drunk.”

“Note to self: If visiting Montana, get the hell out of the state before 5PM.”

“Is internet gambling illegal anywhere? And what's gambling without strippers? Where the hell were the strippers?”

“I don't know where the strippers are, but the backpacking strippers get their gear here .”

“LMAO Chili!”

“Is that a nasty site?”

“I don't deal with nasty strippers.”

“Just so everyone knows, I have done my part to return balance back to the force at TT. This was just e mailed to Dunadan...

"Hey ya little liberal! Hope ya made it through the election without doing harm to yourself. LOL!

I admire your sense of honor for holding to bet but it was a stupid bet. Please come home. I hold you to nothing and will never speak another word of this foolishness if you come back to TT nor will I allow anyone else to badmouth you for it. There’s a lot of people who miss you there.

It’s your decision and I will honor it whatever it may be.

You Compassionate Conservative Whipping Boy,

Nigal J. Mcgillicutty"”

“Yahhhh, the return of the Free State Beer boy.”

“I would send the same thing to Q but I'm faily sure he's got me on his e mail block list and I've heard through the grapevine he feels leaving was the best thing he's done. I'm glad he is better for his decision. He wouldn't believe me but I am.”

“To each his own. Personally, I wouldn't leave the friends I have because I didn't like a few others in the crowd.”

“Everyone needs a break from time to time. I can respect that.”

“awwww, Nigal, that is precious!”

“This is just further proof that Nigal is EVIL.

Someone with a sense of justice would have insisted on a no haiku clause.”

“Quite the opposite V. I am more than willing to endure the evils of Haiku in order to one day see the whole “Ban Violin” campaign come to fruition. But then again you already knew this as the republican platform is, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”. LOL!

Being the foremost purveyor of Ban Violin propaganda Dunadan really IS sorely missed.”

“I may be bad but at least I don't have a whole book devoted to my faults:

”

“Still bitter, huh? LOL!”

“I saw an interview (if ya want to call it that) with that author last night on The Daily Show. He seemed to have started with a conclusion and then set out to prove it and examine it. What he seemed to be saying is, “Conservatives are messed up and it would seem they have tricked my state into thinking like them. Why is the right so screwed up?”, and then set out to find out why. Don’t get me wrong here, this is the kind of thinking I like to see. As long as the left keeps thinking it’s the right that is broken they will never try to fix themselves and we can keep beating them in elections.

The road to an established, permanent republican base in Washington is paved with the 48% saying the 51% is stupid. Please keep it up!
:)”

“Well, Dunadan never got back to me so I can only assume the worst. When Kerry finally gave up he must have...I can't say it! He must have...

”

“LOL Nigal... that's a funny letter. And yeah, it was a stupid bet and it was even stupider for those who bet on Kerry - unless they really were looking for something to keep them off TT.”
