New Rules for Posting

“What are they?”

“You sound like a liberal. Let's make new rules instead of just obeying the ones already on the books.”

“You sound like a liberal. Change the rules and don't tell anybody.”

“Buddha knows what the new rules are.”

“You both sound like you don't know what the #&%!$ you're talking about.”

“If I knew what I was talking about I would not have asked the question.”

“Rules...? We don't need no stinkin rules.”

“Is it safe to say Buddha has been pwned from clear across the country?”

“The rules seem to be the same as always, with maybe slightly tighter enforcement.

But, Matt would have banned Buddah, too - at least after a further warning.

I'm not saying this to diss Buddah. He was a big part of the fun here. Most of the time, he had a take and didn't suck.

“he was so trying to get banned. he gets banned and we all talk about it. it's trolling without a troll.”

“testing, 1, 2, test-test....”

“Buddha down?

What did I miss?”

“Buddha got banned? Wha?”

“It's been a crazed day. Every old thread with the word "Hate" in the title was pulled up, LOL

BB started ragging on Christians like he'd personally gone through the Inquisition --- 3 or 4 different threads.

Check it out.”

“I was advised that i was skating on thin ice by email. I was sure that Buddha was too. He chose to stomp on the ice and fell through. No loss he was the only non banned TTer i had on ignore.”

“so....from a few emails I received it seems bringing up old "nasty" threads is grounds for banning?

Guess I'm gone for bringing up that old one from hyway.”

“Today's actions make me feel like Lee Marvin when he sand "A Wanderin' Star" in Paint Your Wagon.

A Wanderin' Star


I was born under a wanderin’ star
I was born under a wanderin’ star

Wheels are made for rollin’
Mules are made to pack
I never seen a sight that didn’t look better looking back.

I was born under a wanderin’ star

Mud can make you prisoner
And the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes
But only people make you cry
Home is made for comin’ from
For dreams of goin’ to
Which with any luck will never come true

I was born under a wanderin’ star
I was born under a wanderin’ star

Do I know where hell is?
Hell is in Hello
Heaven is good-bye forever
It’s time for me to go

I was born under a wanderin’ star
A wanderin’ wanderin’ star

Mud can make you prisoner
And the plains can bake you dry
Snow can burn your eyes
But only people make you cry
Home is made for comin’ from
For dreams of goin’ to
Which with any luck will never come true

I was born under a wanderin’ star
I was born under a wanderin’ star

When I get to heaven
Tie me to a tree
Or I’ll begin to roam
And soon you know where I will be

I was born under a wanderin’ star
A wanderin’ wanderin’ star”

“Definite culture change.”

“So if we are on thin ice we get an email? Is that a rule? I don't know what email address I used when I signed up.

I am doomed.

“I thought you were saved?”

“I am now, but you know how often people misinterpret my prose.

What if I have been warned and don't even know it?

“Since when does your bs qualify as prose?”

“testing....”

“It is prose by definition:

prose
Pronunciation: 'prOz
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin prosa, from feminine of prorsus, prosus, straightforward, being in prose, contraction of proversus, past participle of provertere to turn forward, from pro- forward + vertere to turn
1 a : the ordinary language people use in speaking or writing b : a literary medium distinguished from poetry especially by its greater irregularity and variety of rhythm and its closer correspondence to the patterns of everyday speech
2 : a prosaic style, quality, or condition
****

We can see how often I am misinterpreted. The question is why? My own theory is that I often challenge people's ideals and they can't handle the truth.

“I also think you've gone soft. Used to be you'd lash out and never appologize.”

“I haven't changed. Perhaps the tone of this place got so bad that my posts are now regarded as they actually are. Civil.”

“Partially, but you used to be a real a$$...not that there's anything wrong with that.”

“I am offended by your accusation.”

“It was I.
I banned the threads.
Through the dark powers I have learned from the Harry Potter books I have banned people that have Hissy Fits.”

“So you've been surpassed in the race to the bottom ---

Which brings to mind one of the great truisms: Things Can Always Be Worse!”

“I can barely see you down there, Tilt.”

“I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...

Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!

[Chorus:]
California Uber Alles
California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California
Uber Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
Mellow out or you will pay!

[Chorus]

Now it is 1984
Knock-knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece

Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower.

DIE on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will croak, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
When you mess with President Brown

[Chorus]”

“he-who-shall-not-be-named raised the bar for obnoxiousness here, and that may explain why bacpac seems nicer. its all an optical illusion”

“altho it did creep me out when he said "sorry" a little bit ago”

“Sarge! Sarge! Sarge!”

“Your friend appears to be on Matt's site:

http://www.lattaoutdoors.com/forum/read/12/83794”

“I wonder if they would have purchased this site if they had known...there are really only two or three dozen real folks and all the rest are trolls and alter egos?”

“Thanks for the link bm. I imagine it will soon be the new hangout.”

“Oh shlt! If there are really only two or three dozen people then I have already met damn near everyone, and haven't hiked anywhere but Indiana and Kentucky!”

“thats because there is no world outside of indiana and kentucky. the liberal media has been lying to you”

“PHUK! I knew there was something wierd about that black helicopter that always seems to be following me!”

“From "Domain Admin"

"If you decide to control yourself a bit, this would not have happened. Matt let it go too far. This is a BackPacking site. Not a flaming site."

You would have thought they would have read a few posts before they bought the site.

I'm not feeling the love here.”

“You have got to be shltting me.

Is that part of a "warning" e-mail you recieved?

Latta outdoors is looking better all the time...”

“no i think that was buddha bear was told”

“No, apparently it was sent to BB.

I have a feeling I'm about to move. When they removed the atonement page, that pissed me off.

There was nothing there that you don't see at the beach, on a backpacking trip or behind the cafeteria at school.

I'm waiting to see that little fish at the bottom of the page soon.

“actually, they didnt remove it. or maybe they removed it temporarily, cuz i couldve sworn it wasnt there for a bit, then it was back”

“I looked several times and it didn't come up. I tried all kinds of variations too.


I will reserve my judgment for now.”

“The End of TrailTalk.
Childish Hissy Fits will no longer be allowed.”
