Is there a spy among us ?

“But it's OUR lack of content. They can't just go around taking it. Can they?”

“why not? at least here it's free and I'm not constantly getting renewal notices. in addition, I can join in the fun.

i have noticed that a lot of topics here are brought up a day or so after the BP mag shows up at our doors with the same thing in it. so are we also stealing their ideas? Sounds like a pretty fair arrangement to me. Feel proud that this group can influence a major magazine.”

“I shoulda put a few of those ;-) emoticons in my last post.”

“crap.”

“Is that one of those Rorschach Ink Blot Tests?”

“sure. what do you see?”

“doo-doo”

“Hey switchback, don't try to analyze me. You're the one posting dirty pictures.”

“so how does that make you feel? Take your time, I'm here for you.lol”

“Of COURSE someone from that rag is reading our lowly, pedestrian, unprofessional, but honest-to-God REAL crap.

Where else could they go to find some originality?

You think those paid-for-hiker-weekend-professional-preppie warrior-grubeating, impressed-with-their own-writing-credential-catalog-posing-as-a magazine-contribtors can come up with new stuff out of their OWN minds?

WE, are a TREMENDOUS, and (thanks to our Patron Saint, Matt) popular group with REAL experience, AND, talent....

Not to mention the jello.”

“Oh, I forgot...
Painted toenail, ass-kissing, sock model, sleeping bag demo wearing, and tent erecting reality-phobes.

Damn!

And I SO wanted to go to Terra del Fuego to experiment with my new titanium hiking boots.”

“Melsie ....quit beating around the bush and tell us what you really think ;)

Titanium hiking boots could be very electrifying in the Sierras!”
