Ghost of Masten

“Is anyone else planning on staying in camp all weekend? I know BOOOOR-ING Doc says no hiking just yet.”

“I am likely to be doing a very limited amount of hiking. Nothing too strenuous so that may be a qualified yes.”

“Thanx 4 the reply, this trip sounds like a lot of fun. I'm givin' it some serious thoughts, maybe judging the cook-off will be a great distraction from missin the day hikes.”

“This trip will be Legendary. And as we know people from Maryland have supurb taste you would be a great judge. Not that I'm trying to garner any favor beforehand in case I might be entering.”

“Jack is not off base with that assessment.”

“I don't plan on getting up early and I've got some cooking to do. It depends on what options are there.”

“Don't plan on getting up early? WTF? I plan on stumbling it to the tent at daybreak singing Hank Williams songs at the top of my lungs.

That should get people's attention!”

“Hank Williams songs ...cool!”

“I thought the cook-off judges got served breakfast in bed? ahem!
;)”

“Do I get extra points if I serve it in bed?”

“Looks like there are more judges than cooks!

OK - I will be a judge this year!!!”

“NoNo, Bobo!!!

I'm with Gremlin, I don't plan on getting up early and I've some cooking to do also.

Those who want to do any dayhiking can get up early if they please.
That would be those crazy-legs like ENS and Pennsy.

Careful what you wish for, Amy!
>8^O”

“Soo the cooks will be hangin' around in camp getting schnookered and cookin while chili seerenades us with Hank Williams tunes?!??!

OK - then I'll be a cook!!!!”

“If she wants the meal in bed, I am cooking something that requires whipped cream.

Bygod, I plan on winning this damn cookoff.”

“god damnit! i want to be in on this trip!!!!!”

“Well, c'mon darlin. I can bring two cans of whipped cream.”

“Whoop-Whoop!!”

“Where IS that twigeatah?!?!?!?”

“i was originally going on this trip til ENS changed the dates... that bastard. now i can't do this weekend.”

“Why that low-down, no-good bastard!!”

“whoop!

“Barf-o-licious!?!

“Bobo, MarkO and Gremlin sittin' round and, uh, uh, cookin', yeah, yeah, that's the word, cookin' - all day.

Somebody's gotta do it, I guess.

Dunno.

Trailcutie might just want to go on a long walk anyway.”

“Does someone want to drop off some yummy food to me on his or her way home from this trip?”

“i second that!”

“Geez, first they call for meals in bed, now they want home delivery.

Just goes to show that the more effort you make, the more the crowd demands.”

“damn straight!”

“Well cancel those "other" plans and get your asses to Masten!”

“i can't... i have halloween party plans for both that friday AND satrday... and i spent a fortune on my costume. i gotta go to them!”

“It just won't be the same without the Scorchfire.

Well, I had to bail last year.

Thought about FYAO VII, Scorchie?”

“I've got a couple doggies that would be awfully upset if I didn't feed them all weekend.”

“You beyatches better learn this one by heart...

We are going to sing it over and over again when the Geo. Dickel starts flowing:

It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'
Sometimes it seems so useless to remain
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.

You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
Even though your on my fightin' side.

CHORUS
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me by my name.

I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.

CHORUS...

Well, a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song
and he told me it was the perfect country and western song.
I wrote him back a letter and told him it was NOT the perfect
country and western song because he hadn't said anything about
Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.

Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent
it to me and after reading it, I realized that my friend had written
the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it
on this album.

The last verse goes like this here:

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

CHORUS
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
Why don't you ever call me by my name.”

“i am not equipped enough for a FYAO trip”

“"Trailcutie might just want to go on a long walk anyway.”

Unless she is used to the company of "sailors".

Oooooh, what do ya do with a drunken sailor??”

“Puh-lease!

I do believed the Scorchness Monster is equipped just fine!!!”

“Dat's what I was thinkin'.....

She's probably going to party with those evil people on Staten Island.”

“Ecktewallee, the only time you can whistle on board ship is when you're cooking so that the others will know you're not eating.

Now how many people do you know who would know that? No-one really appreciates me, sigh.”

“wait a minute.....

i haven't seen those evil people from staten island since.... well, since the shennigans pulled at the folk festival in jersey!”

“Hmmmm, good shenanigans??”

“This sounds like a really fun group!! I hope I can get the okay and time off to go. I'm with AmyG, breakfast in bed, and any other type of bribes---I mean tasting of morsals campside would be great. <:)”

“great shennanigans until the hoax of a disappearing child!”

“so how many childlike morsels are there?”

“Gremlin--- only if one wants a heavier backpack--ya know-- but do to my "superb" taste I better hang around and see what cooks? up!!!”

“Canuck









ROAD KILL!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“I am ready for this trip. PA is where I need to be that weekend, for sure.”

“Don't worry trailcutie - at least I'll be cooking food that will be edible.


(and I'll have enough booze to tranquilize a pack of horses!!!)”
