“Pictures, Dammit!”

“found it. Thanks!”

“Thanks Bobo, great to see you again also. I'm feeling better this morning and I was impressed with your car camping outfit.”

“The Bobo Palace is quite something.”

“great pics everyone.

“What a great weekend! and the weather wasn't even all that bad.

It was great to meet new TTers....and see the old faces, too. I missed you guys!

Two words:

Beer

and

Scotch”

“Chili looked fine to me!

Adventurist, we missed you too......bailer!”

“I'll get back to you guys later.

Great week-end, BTW.”

“I had a great time! It was worth making the trip from Seattle for my first TT get-together. Thanks to all who planned and arranged the outing, hauled the TT city up there and left the place looking like we were never there. It was so nice to be able to put faces to all the names I've used disparagingly over the years. Hard to believe I've been around this site since '98 or so and this was my first TT trip.

Thanks to chili for inviting me to go see the Grand Canyon Saturday, and to Capn Bobo for letting me stay in his BoboPalace. Special thanks to aimee gee, who met me at the airport, hauled my sorry ass there and back, put up with me for 3 days and let me befoul her gear. I'm sure she has already burnt the stuff I used.

Today is totally gorgeous here in Atlantic City....where was this weather on the weekend?

Thanks again, everyone.

“sorry i couldn't make it guys. looks like it was a lot of fun. hopefully next year!”

“Once again, I was the only guy who brought alcohol backpacking this weekend. Couldn't even get anybody to share with me!

I'll have to go on one of those east hikes sometime, where I won't be the drunkest guy iN camp!”

“The competition was stiff!!”

“It would have easier to count the sober people.”

“ENS looked pretty stiff.”

“Rob rebounded well on Saturday! I did notice alot of people seemed to be taking it a wee bit slower on the booze after the Friday night debacle!!!!

The scariest thing that happened this weekend was the ease at which that keg was emptied!!!

BOO!!!!”

“Kleetn was teaching ENS the fine art of funneling Scotch Whiskey.

”

“I have to admit though, that is the first time I ever knew the Canadians are prone to give the five fingered bird.”

“Another quote that seemed to have come out of Masten...

"Kleetn, you are sleeping in Bobo's tent....the only #&%!$ that is sleeping in my tent is attached to my dog"

--AmyG”

Bunch of pansies.

:p”

“I think I saw a pic somewhere of BM hitting the JWR staight from the half gallon bottle.

I wouldn't describe that as "slowing down".”

“Those pics (esp. of ENS) are cracking me up!! Looks like you guys had a good time, even if you can't remember it.”

“what happened to me Friday night?

I hope I didn't funnel any whisky..

Particularly seeing as how that was MarkO's gas funnel.”

“one of the last things I remember Friday night was chili asking AmyG, "why do people always say other people make them drink?"

I want to know is, what did you people make me drink that night? I thought I was only drinking beer? lol

Looks like I am laughing my arse off in each of those pics, so atleast I was having a good time in my wasted, trashed, rip, tied and twisted state.

I had a hard time drinking anything Saturday night. I think Phantom Soul pollished off most of the beer cases Saturday night himself lol.”

“I'm sorry, ENS but I can't refuse lyra.

”

“Azzhole, o' mio??”

“Another quote heard at Masten:

"You guys are making me drink too much"

~~ENS”

“Ahhh, those are hilarious! I think someone (probably MarkO) must've slipped something in your drink(s), ENS...to try to get fresh with you.
;-)

I mean, a dozen beers plus whiskey should barely give you a buzz. LOL!!”

“Lyra, we missed you! I wanted to play Old Maid.”

“Well, good to know you associate me with Old Maid. LOL!! I rue the day I missed that party, for sure. But at least I have those pics to laugh at!
;-D”

“"Wait a minute! Wait a Minute! Shhhh! Quiet! lets get serious here.........(head swivels left and right)............................Where's my beer? I can't get serious without my beer!"

ENS”

“I'm sorry I missed that little speech.
Janet thought it was "adorable".”

“It was priceless.”

“That was pretty funny...
"ok, people, let's all be serious now...seriously!"
(said just after we caught his falling-over-drunk ass with the camp chair...see the above picture)
;)”

“lol
sounds like a missed a good time.”

“Was anybody drunk saturday night?
It didnt seem like it.

unless......

I was too drunk to notice.
Think I ate more than I drank. I volunteer to be a judge every year !!
But I think we need a mixed drink and a dessert catagory added.”

“"But I think we need a mixed drink and a dessert catagory added."

Excellent idea!!

We should recruit Lyra for mixologist!
I'm sure she could concoct some stuff that would get people dancing naked.”

“I agree with CP. Lost_souls Sweet Potato pie was the Bomb!”

“Best damn sweet potato pie I ever had!”

“winnie has barely opened her eyes since we left sunday morning. poor thing is exhausted”

I confess, I might possibly have sort of been drunk. This might be why we didn't meet until Sunday?

I had only met four of the TT'ers on this trip beforehand. I was having a hellish time keeping everyone straight while sober. By Sat & Sunday afternoons I didn't know who was who.

It was nice as saturday night progressed I felt warmer and warmer. Being dry was a big help.

I told chili I was going on the wagon but I keep forgetting when that was to begin?”

“I make a killer Red Death. Tastes like fruit punch and can knock an ox on it's ass.”
