I was checking out Lion King's latest and came across this...I am still laughing

[Lilred]

Looks like a cast iron pot on the back of that pack.

[trlhiker]

What a drunk idiot.

"Do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around, that's what its all about"
LMAO!!! That was awesome!! We're still laughing!!:D

[Lone Wolf]

dude just left a billville event. :D

[Smile]

Funny video, wonder where this was taken? What a heavy pack! :)

[Sly]

There's a good reason to carry TWO hiking poles. Much better balance. ;)

dude just left a billville event. :D

Good thing there aren't any RR tracks nearby for him to pass out on. ;)

The apparently-drunk hiker in the bulk of the video'd have an easier time, too, if he got rid of unneccessary weight like the jewelry and his beard. ;)

[dessertrat]

Yeah, the beard is also less aerodynamic.

[minnesotasmith]

Yeah, the beard is also less aerodynamic.

It can also be expected to collect mud, leaves, twigs, bugs, etc., as the hiker repeatedly faceplants. ;) :D

It looks like, from the comments that they made it all the way last year. They actually traveled with a group of people who's journals i followed but didnt put it together until going through the comments.

While i was looking around trying to remember, though, i found this classic pic

So you're saying that if I remain clean shaven during the entire thru I will finish faster! The only problem is the ammount of time you save with your "aerodynamic" face, will be counter acted with the weight of the razor in your pack slowing you down.:-?
Both significant factors from what I can tell. :D

I had disposable razors sent to me in my mail drops, and typically tossed them before I left town. No beard OR razor weight when I got back to the Trail... :)

Yabut, why the purported six rolls of TP? ;)

Yabut, why the purported six rolls of TP? ;)

1) I can put off shaving til I get to town, but I can't put off s******g. That's usually a daily thing.

2) I was often able to stay on the Trail for a longer # of days between resupply points than many other hikers due to carrying more food and other consumables, so needed more days worth of TP.

3) I eat healthier food than many other hikers as well, with lots of whole-grains, more than the average amount of dried fruit per day, etc.

4) I prefer to be, shall we say, more than minimally clean "back there", and don't care for using peeled twigs (no joke, I knew someone who claimed to use them instead of TP), leaves, brambles, PA-style sharp rocks, etc. that way.

Sheryl Crow wants bathroom police to save planet
Singer calls for limit of 1 sheet of toilet paper per visit

Singer Sheryl Crow, fresh from a confrontation with Karl Rove at the White House Press Correspondents Dinner, has some unique ideas about saving the planet from "global warming."

In a blog chronicling her thoughts during a college tour with Laurie David, producer of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth," she suggests "a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting."

"Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required," she writes.

She is also touting a new invention, admittedly in the early stages of development, to help reduce the use of paper napkins, "which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the height of wastefulness."

"I have designed a clothing line that has what's called a 'dining sleeve,'" she writes. "The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another 'dining sleeve,' after usage. The design will offer the 'diner' the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold."

Crow and David rode a biodiesel bus on a 12-campus tour to raise awareness about "global warming" by engaging students on the topic. It started earlier this month at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and was timed to end yesterday – Earth Day.

The two women planned to meet today with House Energy Chairman John Dingell, D-Mich., and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Crow and David made news Saturday night by engaging in an argument with White House political director Rove. They urged him to take "a fresh look" at "global warming."

"I honestly thought that I was going to change his mind, like, right there and then," David told the Associated Press.

Both celebrities were guests of news organizations – Crow invited by Bloomberg News and David by CNN.

At one point, according to the celebrities, Crow touched Rove's arm and "Karl swung around and spat, 'Don't touch me.' "
"You can't speak to us like that, you work for us," Crow claims to have responded.

"I don't work for you, I work for the American people,' said Rove.
"We are the American people," said Crow."

""She came over to insult me," Rove said Saturday night, "and she succeeded."

[mudhead]

I would cheerfully hand Ms. Crow six rolls of TP, one square at a time.

1) don't care for using peeled twigs (no joke, I knew someone who claimed to use them instead of TP), leaves, brambles, PA-style sharp rocks, etc. that way.

OUCH!:eek:
