Why is everyone so nice?

“Why is everyone so nice here? I mean I have met some of you here and everyone is so nice. People send me gifts, they send me small things that say, "Hey, i was thinking of ya and wanted to send ya this.". I have people I never met before treat me like and old friend and share great stories with me. I've had people give me help on the trail and off the trail when it's needed. I've had so many people make me laugh and smile when I'm having a bad day. I've had people I have bad mouthed treat me with kindness and forgiveness.

What's up with you people?”

“Please. I insult you every chance I get!”

““Please. I insult you every chance I get!”

Your mouth says, "Nigal, you effing dick head!", but your shining eyes say, "I love you and all of TT....and monkeys.".”

“Are we into verbal S&M here (LOL)...?”

“Moohaahaa! :-D So what you're trying to say is, we warm the cockles of your heart?”

“Heehee! You said cockles...”

“lower lyra - lower”

“F off nigie! were mean damnit!


:) Now who wants cookies?”

“I'm almost always drunk while posting.”

“Yesterday gave us a chance to examine the meanness in us. Today I wanna think about dirty jokes we've swapped, $20 cigars given freely, and many great campfires.”

“Don't forget the annual Ornament Exchange and all the times people have needed gear and people have given freely.”

“If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, HOI...!”

“And fishnets!”

“And all the great suggestions on different beers and drinks. Good stuff, Maynard!”

“You all suck!”

“Isn't it just so peachy to have a warm puppy, snuggling up with you, while eating guilt-free chocolate ice cream on a warm summers evening?


lol!

“I heart this thread. Nigal, you are my FAVORITE!”

“Honestly, good idea for a thread.

Does it really mean something about this place when the mean thread progresses at five times the rate this one is?

Naw! ;)”

“Ha!
Just keep your hands off the cocculus, Lyra!

The mean thread is actually quite comical.”

“How about how when travelling to a distant hike there is always someone willing to pick up from an airport or shuttle. Let alone the couple of times I have crashed at somebody's place before or afterward.

Really good point Nigal!”

“My favorite part of TT is that people you don't even know, half a country away rejoice with you at births, cry with you at losses and give eachother all the help they can regarding their little corner of the world and the hiking there. TT is a good place, even on the bad days, because the number of nice people far outweigh the meanies.”

“when i ran i lost my bankcard on the AT, and subsequently had no money, a complete stranger took me in for a few days. she was a friend of mapleleaf and treebeard. i dont know how many friend of a friends i would take in....”

It just means that moonblow hasnt made it over here yet.”

“Shhh!”

“I loved the sharing of the whiskey/ky under the whiskey/ky tent at Masten!”

“It just means that moonblow hasnt made it over here yet. - Crazy Mike

Another unprovoked attack. Nobody calling you on it.

“Shhh!” - Sass

Another unprovoked attack / double standard.


Bunch of hypocrites. You do realize that don't you?”

“If we didn't have the meanness of TT, it would give us a lot less to laugh about around the real campfires.”

“Why so nice? Why so mean?

We are human!”

“It's the new prescription...”

“"shhhh!" is an attack?

dance, puppet, dance”

“Sorry crash - it would have required you to think about what her point was to understand that. I should have spelled it out for you.”

“dance puppet dance”

“NEWS FLASH for you crash ...

Just because you have people on your side, doesn't make you right.”

“SHHHHHH! You're messing up the NICE THREAD!

stop it!”

“what are we, at the freaking library now?

shh!”

“I really like Sassafras. She's a thoughtful and respectful TTer.”

“cmb=moonie”

“Why am I so nice????


Well......**in my best Elvis voice**


Because I'ma hunka, hunka burnin' love...”

“chili, check your yahoo mail for a chuckle.”

“Well, I stopped by the library and seeing as how the warning says don't open at work, I am guessing I don't need to open that attachment here either.

Jesus, I could wind up being the one and only person in the history of Towsend to be invited to never come back to the library.”

““what are we, at the freaking library now?

shh!”

Man, talk about a butt-kisser!!
If you don't kiss my butt...............that's a double standard.
(_!_)”

“Phaed enough of the sarcasm! =)”

“Nigal has a good, no excellent point. We tend to be most impressed by the negative things we encounter - it's good to think of the positive and the things and people we cherish - some of whom we've never met.

My serious hiking buddies moved away and TT has given me an oportunity to meet and enjoy the out -or-doors i9n a way that would otherwise not have been possible. I won't name anyone for - oh Hell there's MarkO, Bobo, Pennsy AmyG, Mapes, Dave, RichB, EvS, Sacco aChili, Artex and many more.

Thanks, Nigal.

I wish you all a happy season in whatever manner and for whatever reason you celebrate it. I wish you all health and the largest measure of happiness possible in the New Year.

Doug”

“No, I'm serious. I like Birch too. We disagree on many things, but he is a respectful and thought-provoking guy.”

“Thank you.”

“I have yet to meet a TTer in person that wasn't nice.”

“Yay. TT pile on!”

“Happy season and New Year and happy trails to you Monsignor Murdoch!!

I wanna do the Santanonis with ya!

“I remember quite fondly one hiker who was quite ill with a migrane, another hiker who was carrying enough gear for the Normandy invasion...After I had hiked out I came back for my bud's pack. There around this total stranger were the TTers taking care of him, offering to carry his gear....Than night with the Cigars (those were Dang Good Cubans weren't they?) and coffee was really one of the better experiences of my life.

I think on Everest most of us would die to carry you out...(Well MarkO and I would probably sort out the ones who would be a better addition to the Donner Stew later on..but thats beside the point)

And if it got really bad Laq would have to be there for his knowldege of human anatomy to help us pick the best parts to Boil/Roast etc....BUT HEY we would be there for you! (Nigal....don't worry your knowledge of Cigars would protect you...until we ran out of Cigars (LOL)”
