So *this* is the "other site"

“*sniff sniff*... I don't know what they're talking about over there. Do they allow dual-membership here?”

“Welcome to the "other side", of course you can belong to both...many do. Enjoy yourself and dont feed the trolls.”

“Thankya thankya birch. Nice to be welcomed...

Don't I know about feeding trolls. We have enough of our own trolls over there. I like the format of this site though. Kinda. I'm not sure what I like better. Except bp.com seems to be down right now..”

“Welcome, Boomer. Does "Boomer" indicate you're from Oklahoma? I lived there for 4 years, late 70's/early 80's, and enjoyed it very much. You might want to fill out your profile in order to minimize the traditional troll hazing you're likely to receive. You'll find a little of everything over here...occasionally even some hiking. Welcome aboard.”

“Perceptive. Yep, that's why I'm Boomer, living in Sand Springs Okla right now. Where did you live while you were in our fair state?

I didn't notice the profile thing... I'll get on that.”

“actually, youre from the "other" site

this is the site”

“Hey! Welcome! and...what CrashBang said!!”

“Welcome to the funny farm, Boomer :)”

“eh eh....yep, hi BoomerHiker and, welcome to TT..it's a lot of fun over here..and, do fill out your profile, as suggested...the natives haven't caught up with you yet but, when they do and IF you've not filled out your profile, you'll be considered a troll...I think you'll enjoy it over here..they are great fun, very knowledgable, quite irreverant, show no mercy and take no prisoners!”

“I was stationed at an entity called the Coast Guard Institute, located at the FAA Center in OKC. I lived in Moore. Go Sooners...or Cowboys, or whatever...”

“"irreverant" or "irrelevant"?”

“"irreverant" or "irrelevant"? Is there a difference over here? (wink) oh oh..asking for trouble...must prepare for battle..more coffee!!

“You traitors, at least tease this nasty dark-side troll a little before you welcome him.”

“Okay. I lived in Norman for quite a while. Drove through Moore almost every day when I worked in the City.
I'm a Sooner, but do enjoy Cowboy basketball, and root for them in all other sports when they're not playing against us.

For everybody else, I got the profile filled out. What else do I need to do to be considered "legit?" lol...”

“Profile or not, you'll have a hard time here if your parents were ever married, j/k.

I remember seeing the musical "Oklahoma" lived, outdoors, in Tulsa late in the summer of '81. Real horses, buckboards, Cowboys, Indians and "Surry with the fringe on top". Great times!”

“THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE !!

There's another site ?”

“Was probably where you saw that. That's definitely a class field-trip pilgrimage to see "Oklahoma" out there...

So Moore's been flattened and rebuilt at least twice since you've left. Where do you live now?”

“Retired and living in Trego, Wisconsin. Currently at my son's place in Richmond, Va...only 11 more days til I start my AT thru hike.”

“Welcome to TT. This place rocks. After visiting here a while, you just might forget about the other side entirely. I know I have.”

“What other side?!;) Welcome Boomer!”

“For everybody else, I got the profile filled out. What else do I need to do to be considered "legit?" lol...”

well the key item for a newbie to lose their troll status is to go on a TT backpacking trip or at least meet some other TTer in person so that they can confirm that there is a real person under the trail name.”

“Ewwww....backpacker.com germs!”

“Dub... I think one of Oskar's personalities is reappearing over on bp... I thought of you.

For Hog, I'm open for any trips near the flatlands any weekend.”

“scheesh, Dub..you used to live over there so don't get all weird..we all remember your brother, Oskar, and know better..LOL..”

“i'm sorry its early but did nimblefoot say he was in the Coast Guard and stationed in Oklahoma? does anyone else see something odd about that?”

“Dub... I think one of Oskar's personalities is reappearing over on bp... I thought of you.

LMAO
ok you can stay!
welcome!”

“If you really want to make yourself at home feel free to start about 20 “Hey! Where’d my post go” threads. LOL!”

“Hey bommer. be forwarned, this site is dirtier.

Enjoy!

“Hmmm... What is dirty about that? :)”

“All the really good looking girls are here anyways. Heck... they've all already posted to your thread. They are pretty and the know how to curse too...”

“Welcome BoomerHiker. Good to have you here.

With the pleasantries out of the way, there is a question that must be asked, not to start with the name calling and personal attacks but.........













are you an ultra lighter?





Not that there's anything wrong with that........”

“...and they poop in the woods!”

“Post a link, I haven't seen Mr. Oskar in months.”

“BH - Your 'Homepage' link on your profile didn't work. It has to be set to the public page.

Welcome to TT. All from the 'other' side are welcome IF THEY BACKPACK! Visit our trip page and join us.”

“Welcome to TT. All from the 'other' side are welcome IF THEY BACKPACK! Visit our trip page and join us.

I guess that explains why i'm not so welcome here...

Maybe I'll just have to skip the trip this weekend. I wouldn't want to break tradition.”

“No, even worse; you're a mountain biker. GET 'EM!!!”

“Damn, I bet he rides horses on hiking trails too! ;-)”

“Welcome!”

“Boomer, baby, here you are! You just might fit in quite nicely. Watch out for Geobeet!! He's the "Lou Grant" here, the old, owly, weekly suburban editor! LOL!”

“Damn, I bet he rides horses on hiking trails too! ;-)

I do have a good story about where one of my mountain biking partners stopped in the middle of a horse trail and did #2... it was an emergency...”

“I joined the flip side too. :)

Welcome. It's fun here.

To all TTer's... I've met boomer, he's a good guy. Wait, Dub didn't call him a troll! Something is wrong here.”

“I post sometimes on the other site. It's nice to have options, especially when I OD on TT's special brand of craziness - but then I start jonesing for it.

This is the site I'm addicted to.”

“Dang, tough crowd. I ride both horse and mtn bike. Glad I'm not new.

Welcome Boomer! You're ok by me.”

“Hey Boomer, welcome. And Dicentra, you've been quiet.”

“You were grandfathered into the fold dhutch. If you manage to get drunk with established TT before you are outed as a biker or horse rider you are already in. LOL!”

“Yeah, dhutch, but you are cute, so we cut ya some slack. ;-)”

“I think I fixed my homepage link. If I didn't then I'm just not too bright today. Been up for quite a while.

Later all”

“I've been lurking. ;)”

“BoomerHiker, I just clicked on my own Webshots and couldn't get in.
My Bad, my fault, sorry for the wild goose chase.
My work is blocking a lot of different sites now. Webshots may be another of them.”
