“why start ANOTHER thread about nothing?

there are currently 5 threads on the same damned subject. they are all filled with pissing and moaning.

we have teenagers telling us that we don't know anything about hiking or the gear we use. i wonder if they use the gear they have more than once a month?

we have "welcome" threads for trolls.

now i know what happened to nomad, explorer, hiker boy, old timer and the others. i feel stupid that it took me this long to figure it out....

have fun. i sure did!”

“rad, are you buggin' out? I've hardly gotten to know ya!”

“...and don't forget threads started by people announcing that they're leaving - bye!”

“Tell it, rad.”

“Quick quiz:

Who was the first person to fly an airplane on the Australian continent?

Answer later...”

“Radagst who?”

“I liked the art appreciation discussion for the bored. I think some off-subject bird-tamer started it. At least there was only one of them.”

“as I was told when leaving my first job Rad - --

it's like pulling your hand out of a bucket of water.

Think about it.”

“Radagast who you ask? Radagast the brown! Radagast the bird-tamer! Radagast the simple! Radagast the fool!

No offense Rad. Just a quote, you know...”

“Q: Aussie Aviator?
A: Harry Houdini”

“This used to be a fun places to get away
I couldn`t believe the things some had to say
it took my mind off the things that got to me
it made me laugh there was so much to see
it`s true, things have gone down hill here as of late
trolls doing the name calling full of spite and hate
I still look here some, but it`s just because
it`ll never again be the fun place it once was”

“For the last year I have just checked in to see the same dumb topics being discussed then move on. I just wait til something interests me then I chime in. Hell, I bet most think I'm a new guy here.

Keep up the fight radagast”

“You should feel stupid Rad...you were the ring-leader for thread degridation more than anyone else here!”

“My first post to TT was a poem and now I`ve done a few
I wish I knew a better place to go, I`d go there too
but, things don`t stay the same, or the way we`d like `em to be
if you find a better place to play Please, get in touch with me
when I first came here I wore my heart on my sleeve
I`ll go the same way and post a poem when I leave”

“switchback -
You can "switchback" now.
LOL!”

“Okay all you whiners out there, quit whining cause you know you ain't goin nowhere and you know ya can't live without your TT fix anyways!

I check in just about every day but only post when I really got some thing to say, well that ain't exactly true but close! LOL!”

“sorry that I'm all of 18 rad. my fault.”

“HA! I laugh in your face!

C'mon, rad....bad day at the office? Bossman catch ya surfin'? Ol' lady pissed at ya cuz ya left the seat up again?

What about the 17 1/2 lime green jello puppy pile threads? Hmmmm?

mooooooooHAHAHAHAAAAA!

>burp!<

Now get me a beer and knock off the whining.....”

“And Ken, pound sand!”

“who said i was leaving?

i was commenting on all of the bickering going on, here, and i was going to try and stay out of those threads. threads... like the ones that clog a drain.

but then i start a thread like this, and look what happens. ironic.”

“and lime green jello was fun for all!”

“Rad is right. I haven?t been around here long myself but it looks like a shift change. And a lot of the new crew is younger, like to over simplify things and more intellectually challenged. What was Churchill said about a young man that was not liberal had no heart but an older man that was still a liberal had no brain, something like that. I am definitely getting older. Wisdom does not automatically come with age but the wisdom that is available to older people because of experience is not available to the young. But the young don?t know that, which is proof it is true. WERE IS THE BACKPACKING TALK?”

“Where's my BEER, wench?”

“kleet, don't make me smack you like the bitch you are. fetch beer, beeyatch!!!”

“You see? This is precisely what I was trying to avoid when I started the Caring Thread. But you guys don't want to frequent the really usefull threads. You just want to pretend there isn't a problem. Now rad's had a nervous breakdown! I hope you're all satisfied!!!”

“i love you all.”

“Sid, c'mon, man, get me the beer. Rad's out of it.”

“After a much earned vacation I have return to my official duties here at trail talk.

Radagast you lose big today. -5 points for arrogance regarding those who are younger and backpack less than you. Arent you in your 20's? SON!

Also you lose 3 points for complaing cause you dont like the threads, what not enough beer and boob talk for ya?

If this is such a poor,repetitive and lowly place occupied by those who hike less than you and disagree with your gear choices...a place that you are better than or have outgrown, by all means join the ranks of Gental Ben,Nomad,Hiker Boy,Explorer and Old Timer. Just dont let the door bruise your @ss on the way out.”

“Kleetn,wait till he stops drooling and muttering "i love you all", when he passes out we grab the brew and run!”

“gentle ben.... now HE was entertaining!”

“and quit whining, OS.”

“I miss G-Ben too!”

“The first time I ever received an e-mail from Rad, He chewed my @ss out about something I'd said on TT. Also in the same E-mail, He told me to bring my @ss out on some of the hikes. Well, I did. Now I've meet about 25 people that hang out here.
So for all you new folks I'll qoute from my good friend Radagast.
"BRING YOUR ASS OUT ON SOME OF THE HIKES"!
Let's get to know ya!”

“Oh, Benny, we hardly knew ye. No more crude initiations from "the stoned one".
You had me thinkin' you was leavin' too, Rad my boy.
This site might be a guilty pleasure, but it's still a bit of a pleasure.”

“jen gave me a shirt for my birthday. it says "take a hike".

well, it's a cool shirt.”

“I have a theory about Gentle Ben. He did seem to have a special relationship with Nigal. And didn?t he disappear about the same time Nigal lost his humility and learned to spell? About the same time that Dirtbag Darryl appeared? I wonder if there was a reorganization of alter egos, and poor Ben with his plastic ak, amorous bigfoot, hatred of dogs and Gore-Tex, just got absorbed.”

“Gentle Dirtbag Nigal???
Is that what your saying?”
