I'm gunna change my tune!

“Dear everyone,

I am going to start being nice to everyone, even those stinken newbie, car campers, ick!

I think people take my words to seriously but it is still my fault for not realizing that and changing my words.

So, I am sorry to everyone I have offended, and I am going to try and be nice from now on.

Sincerely,

Tarp Lloyd Rat”

“Not to doubt you but can I come back and cut/paste this thread every time you start flippin' out on 15 cafe` latte`s on Friday morning and start acting like an a@@?”

“Who the hell stole Tarpy's handle this time?!!”

“Dear Violin:

I wanted to personally let you know that I Tarp Lloyd Rat have changed my tune. I am not trying to deceive you in any way.

Please refer to the above post for details.

Sincerely,

Tarp Lloyd Rat”

“Dear Mr. Rat,

You're a funny guy.

Change is good for the soul.

No wait, that's: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Or is it: Don't change horses in midstream.

Anyway, best of luck in your new endeavor.

Warmest regards,

Violin”

“mr mojo risin'”

“RISIN'!!

RISIN'!!”

“Today's Secret Word is: Tarpy!

Now, you all remember what to do whenever anybody says the Secret Word, right?

Scream real loud!”

“Did you ditch the gun too?”

“He said he was changing his tune NOT loosing his mind!”

“Oh I give up.
Who knows how to link to a sound?

”

“Wild Child, don't change. Screw 'em if they can't take a joke or a little teasing or some "in your face" irreverence. Pedal to the metal, both barrels, better to burn out than fade away. Don't sell your soul! No go out there and piss somebody off.”

“fly, you suck turds, dude!”

“oh, you meant him, not me.

darn.”

“Damn, spell it rite, more-on.”

“D-A-R-N, DOOD!”

“Please don't fight. We should be kind to one another.”

“grilled rat, COMIN' UP!!!!!”

“Never mind! (my eye-sight is failing.) But pound sand anyway. Just 'cuss I'm not right doesn't mean a thing! SHUT UP! or as Tea would say "Shut your hole."
BTW, that is disgusting. Blech.....”

“Did some buddy say rat meet?”

“Sarabelle, SIT. STAY”

“Yes Sarabelle, or should I say gojo, LOL your secret is safe with me LOL!

I think Lounge Lizard made a joke regarding "Grilled Rat". I think it was a reference to my name.

We all know how much you like rats, LOL.

It's great to have you around "stinky butt", ha ha ha ha!”

“Hey Wild, you digging at your leg with a pen knife while writing this stuff? It must be killing ya. You didn't quit smoking again and go goofy on us, did ya???
Happy, happy, happy thoughts. WheeeeeD”

“What is he up to now? I don't trust this . I know he's setting us up for something, I just can't figure out what. Hey Tarp, are you the invisible man or Dr. Laura? If you have really changed your tune you will fess up.”

“Oh, and how long do you have to post before you are no longer considered a "stinken newbie"?”

“It must be killing him. I figure he can last another couple of hours tops.

I think matt, the webmaster must have emailed him and told him to get in line or something.

”

“his dealer didn't come through. he's dying here, folks.”

“Alright! Someone start a thread where we can lay our bets on when he snaps and goes back to being the turd we all know and love (?) in the "Tarpy Freakout Pool". I say he goes off about 9:05 A.M. on Friday the 11th.

Heehee! I'm just kidding Tarpy and I hope I'm wrong!”

“As Matt said, I am not a troll, and I never was.

I have been here for a long time, and have decided to change my act.

I may even post my pic and go on a trip with everyone!

How does that sound?”

“Pretty scary. (just funnin 'ya dude)

Nigal - I'll take Thursday the 10th at 4:55 pm.”

“Post that pick of you with the hundred pound pack again.”

“Yes, I remember Tarp Rat from way back when... didn't he used to be known as AT Hiker, or am I confusing him with someone else?”

“Tarpy has been known by many names, but I think that AT Hiker was somebody else. Tarp Rat adopted that name because he was rat-like, and he slept under a tarp. He carried the tarp because without a tent his pack weighed over a hundred pounds, and he only weighed about one forty himself, so he went with the tarp to reduce weight.”

“This site is like flypaper for freaks!”

“ATBackpacker was my first sign-on!

I got Tarp Rat a long time ago from someone's Thread titled "Techie, or Tarp Rat?". At the time I was a Tarp Rat, and so I adopted the name.”

“Watch it, Creetn.”

“The End, The Crystal Ship, Riders On The storm...It's still The Doors!”

“Ahhh... yes, if I'm not mistaken Tarp Rat, you helped facilitate my getting 86'ed from trail talk, way back when. But all is forgiven, because I have seen the error of my follies. What do you think of this?”

“Ohmagawd! I-I-Is it y-y-you SNAKEBOY?!?!?

Sumbuddy run git the Marshal!”

“Oh oh! =8o”

“I think it's Hiker Boy!”

“I've had many faces over my years at Trail Talk... the first of which was DogFace. Then came HikingNazi and than many others... until my pinnacle with SnakeBoy. I remember foundly the regulars, Mel, Tarp Rat, Nigal, Genital Ben (where is he?), Pamster, Lipstick, and too many others to mention. What do you think of this?”

“I think I wanna hear about some snakes.
...¸¸.·´`·.¸¸.·´`·.¸¸.·´`·.¸¸.->”

“Tarp-

There's a Hiker Boy over at outdoorreview

I don't know if it is your old nemesis or not but I thought you might want to relive old times. I wasn't around for those exchanges but I surmised it got ugly from some of the recent posts here.”

“SNAKEBOY!!! "What do you thnk of this?"

Moooooooohahahaahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mel always loved you Snakeboy. Where's Mel??!?!?!? Somebody git Mel!!!!!!!!”

“yep, violin. that's the one.”
