NO Ghosts.......Lots Of Good Spirits!! T rip Report

“Scrapple in the south is called liver mush.
They taste about the same with liver mush being a little milder.

I've seen souse and head cheese.......different slop.....no thanks!
I see no point in eating something that looks that awful!

“Well, there went any idea I would eat lunch.

I think I am going to puke.”

“Oy, kinda creepy!!

I still can't believe people actually eat that crap.”

“My first job interview when I got out of undergraduate school was with a meat packing plant. All of their management started out on the cutting floor.

I went around on the tour and they showed me the entire operations. Different parts of the hog were sent to various departments during processing.

Finally we came to an area where all the "other stuff" went. Down a big drain in the floor with what looked like a garbage disposal grinding it up into a slush and pumping it to another part of the plant. I said "what do you do with that?". Guy said "oh, that's the potted meat".

I didn't take the job and decided to go to law school. Everytime I look at a can of potted meat, I cringe.”

“pork pate?

Gremlin - If I'm ever at your place I'll just skip dinner and go for the beer, liquor, and wine............................er...............beer and liquor. K?

Yeah, but CRETINS is what you camped with this past weekend, Gremlin!”

“ENS, as a matter of fact, I told my boss Monday that I would accept a transfer to PA. He said he would keep that in mind.”

“I think you would dig it here in PA. Winter is a little colder than TN, but the people are alot like those in TN. Philly is a little crazy, but once you get away from Philly, it's beautiful countryside, with great housing prices, great scenery, charming little victorian style towns, incredible hiking and backpacking, some of the best fishing in the east and kayaking and canoeing and whitewater rafting etc etc”

“Yeah, I could tell. I really liked it up there.”

“Oh so now you're trying to get everyone to move to PA, ENS? And I thought I was special!
;-D”

“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!
Suckuh!!”

“Ha ha yourself, dork sandwich! ;-)”

“I hear tell that Pensylvania is the Cesspool State.

Hey, that's just what I heard!

It looked pretty good to me.”

“PA is nice, all states are nice and have things others don't. Convenient state to live, so many places are in a reasonable drive, from the Whites to the Smokies.

MarkO- I expect to see you on a PA backpacking trip soon.

Chili- next time you're up, you must visit Ricketts Glen State Park- almost 30 waterfalls along a trail, one is almost 100 feet high. Absolutely incredible place.”

“Thanks, jmitch. I will do that in the spring.”

“Thanks, jmitch. I will do that in the spring.”

“For such good cooks you guys are awfully picky.

You don't know what you're missing.

Haggis is especially good - He!!, it's all good.”

“You got it, JMitch!!

Gremlin, I'll try haggis........some day.”

“Haggis is nothing more than a meatloaf boiled in a stomach or other baglike container. It is quite tasty.”

“Lyra, ofcourse your special. you're the only one I told where in PA to move :)”

“Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish. Although there are many recipes, it is normally made with the following ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately an hour.

Remind me never to have "meatloaf" at RamblinRev's house.”

“I put some pictures in my profile...”

“Nice pictures and I like the one with the kidlets in the kayak. Looks like they are having lots of fun.”

Pictures of haggis??

You rock, Twigeater!!”

“LOL...not unless you count Bobo as Haggis!”

“Bobo as Haggis??

I like this!

Pope Haggis.”

“Popo Haggis the Innocent!”

“Looks like I really missed out on a great time. Trust me, I would have rather been hangin with you all then what I ended up doing that weekend. You've got to make this a tradition, at least for another year. Maybe we can even get a group together a little earlier in the year to get that brick house built (or wooden out house if you prefer, but brick IS much nicer).

"She's a Brick....House...."”

“Brick stands up to the onslaughts of porcupines better than plywood. But trying to mount and hinge a brick door could be a challenge.”

“A mulching toilet would be better than a crap-hole crapper.

Do we have any bricklayers among us??

No, no not THAT kinda "brick".”

“A brick #&%!$house? Now that's upscale.”

“The first year KTA Trail Care ordered a porta-pot to Masten it didn't show up. I wonder how well any structure would survive the onslaught of yahoos there, though.

Stupid me, I forgot and drove my daughter back from NY to PA on I-81 when we could just as easily have come on 14. That was on Sunday though, seems like most of you folks had left by then.

There are differences between PA and TN, the second person plural is either "youse" or "y'uns" instead of "y'alls."”

“Let's build a mulching toilet.
That would suit the site since the crapola does not go into the ground.

I've seen lots of those, the most recent being on The Long Trail in Vermont.

The beauty, if there can be beauty in a crapper, is that they generally don't stank.

That beats the crap outta the bottomless pit style toilet.”

“I see a worm! I see a worm! I'd eat it - fry it up all good and crispy. Yum!”
