trail talk going down the tubes!

“damn you Bison!”

“Bison must be off today.”

“He pay be off, but he's right on target”

“Well, I see this is a popular thread and I don't have time to read all of it right now.

But, seeing the thread title and seeing the first few posts made me realize how much I like this place.

In fact, I broke out into song.....









AC/DC
Highway To Hell (1979)
Highway To Hell

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I'm on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin' my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land

I'm on the highway to hell
(Don't stop me)

And I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell”

“umm, please get off me now Chili”

“lol”

“He pay be off, but he's right on target”

Mom please flush it all away.
I wanna watch it go right in and down.

Watch you flush it all away.

Time to bring it down again.
Don’t just call me pessimist.
Try and read between the lines.
I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t
Welcome any change, my friend.

I wanna see it all come down.”

Thanks a lot Geobeet. That post scared me so bad that now I have bacon on my underwear.”

“you have BACON RING!

OK, time to go to Sacco's Lounge....”

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Women drinking and discussing Baco rings.....I'm there!”

“When we find our selevs being not in agreement over some silly issue or another and feelings get hurt and people get mad we must fall back on the few things we can all agree upon to mend feelings and hearts.

And bacon ring saves TT once again!”

“Bacon rings being a very liberal pastime, of course.”

“Ok, I've said this once before, perhaps on this thread, perhaps on another, but

WHO CARES?

Where does it say there has to be a trip every weekend? Is it possible that people, in general do less hiking/camping in the winter? That's not to say no one does, for I am one of those who at least tries to. But still...

Why is everybody so concerned with what everyone else is posting? Have you looked at the name of the forum: Trail Talk? A very large part of that name is Talk, in order to facilitate a lively community. I gotta tell ya, this is one of the closest-knit communities I've come across anywhere on the Internet. The bonds formed are kinda cool, and at the very least provide the feel of having friends all around the country, and even beyond in some cases. The site provides filters for hiding categories that don't interest you; you don't have to limit yourself to only blocking the default Fuego if that's what you want. You can uncheck everything except for gear, places, and trips if you want, and then watch the tumbleweed blow across your screen.

We have an entirely separate Trips portal, which I think is excellent, by the way. No other BBS site that I've ever been to, backpacking or not, has provided so much facility in getting its members together. I say that as long as there are are trips to go on and people going on them to share experiences with them, why should it matter what else is going on?

Rock on, little dudes! Long live Trail Talk!

Alright, enough ranting. I'm PhantomSoul, and this is what I think.

“Can someone tell me how to do the cool color/font thingee?”

“<center><B><font color=#RRGGBB size=7>[type your huge, colored, centered message here]</font></B></center>

Subsitute RRGGBB for the RGB hex byte code you want (this is where it helps to be a bit of an egghead...heh heh). For example, red would be FF0000, green would be 00FF00, and blue would be 0000FF. Black is 000000 and white is FFFFFF. There are many sites all over reference what codes to use for various colors. Try Googling "html color codes"

The size of a font can be anything between 0 and 7, 0 being the tiniest and 7 being the largest.

“Dang, that PS guy from NJ is making sense.
There's hope for that poor state yet. ;-)”

“So poor we can't even build freeways. That's why they have to charge tolls for them... ”

“Very well said Phantom!!”

“Nooo, everybody should be like me.”

“WTF? I'm to tired. Why isn't there an icon for this crap? LOL!”
