Yep, but some of us escaped the fiery furnace, and started our own branch, were the unsavory ones at the picnic with mustard on our shirts and wetness where we sit, it's a badge of honor.

Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a drink and
a smoke, when it starts to rain. Jane pulls out a condom, cuts off the
end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.

Arlene: What in the hell is that?

Jane: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.

Arlene: Where did you get it?

Jane: You can get them at any pharmacy.

The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local pharmacy and
announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.

The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely
(she is, after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what
brand of condom she prefers.

'Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel.'
The pharmacist fainted.

They all went into hiding as soon as I showed up and called out Coach Lou to fight. Kinda like the shootout scene in a western, where all the citizens see trouble coming down the street and jump inside to watch behind shuttered windows.
It was kind of anticlimactic, though, due to Coach No-Show.
I went ahead and hung new curtains while things were quiet :D

Hi All, My son and I hiked the AT in 2010, when he was 8, my daughter did 600 miles of it with us, and we are gearing up for the BMT this April.

I wrote, and my son illustrated, a book about the thru-hike, “A Child’s Walk in the Wilderness,” and we hope you will check it out.

We will be giving talks at REI at the following locations,
Boston on March 26
Conshohocken, PA on March 27
Marlton, NJ, on Marh 28
Atlanta, GA, on April 1
Kennesaw, GA, on April 2.

Hope you all will come out and see us. Any questions about hiking with kids, feel free to ask us.

Okay, it ain't humor, but.... I like the advice I get in this forum from my fellow café members. I know there are many lurkers here too. I just wanted to post my latest progress on my alcohol stove setup. I have this stove:

This is my pot:
http://cache.backpackinglight.com/backpackinglight/user_uploads/1264557159_20523.jpg

It was 45 F out with variable winds. I used 1.5 oz on SLX in stove and 2 cups of water in pot. It took about 2.5 minutes before side burners were all lit. It took 8 minutes before water boiled. But here is the big surprise: The stove ran and the water boiled for another 12 minutes. All total the stove ran 22 minutes and 39 seconds on 1.5 oz of alcohol. More tests to come, but I think I am getting real close to having a winner. Next test will be with 1 oz of alcohol.

Where that is, not sure it's an option. Besides, first time out in a long time, will be worried about making it around the loop in time. Daughter will likely be fine, but her fat, old dad is more likely the problem. And we will need to do the loop to get back to the car. No shuttles or resupply options, either.

This is the daughter you're going to be hiking with, right? She's very pretty :)
I love the covered bridge section of your video. It reminded me of when we hiked the Shenandoah NP, and were at the main lodge. Some British guy was arguing with the desk clerk about where to find "THE" bridge from the Bridges of Madison County movie, which had come out about a year before. He was thoroughly convinced that it was somewhere in the area. Try as he might, the clerk could not get him to understand that Madison County, Virginia had nothing to do with some fictional bridge from a tear-jerker movie. The British guy got pretty agitated about it. If Oz was there, he would have said "Stupid Pom :D.

Sounds like it! The next test - 20 ml of alcohol, 2 cups of water. Should prime much faster, and boil in about 5 min (and burn out almost immediately after the boil).

Do you have some way to insulate the stove from the cold ground? That'll make it prime faster.

Sounds like it! The next test - 20 ml of alcohol, 2 cups of water. Should prime much faster, and boil in about 5 min (and burn out almost immediately after the boil).

Do you have some way to insulate the stove from the cold ground? That'll make it prime faster.

I am just using an aluminum disk. I tested this at 4 cups because I might try it with 2 people. I will try your test tomorrow. How much does 20ml of SLX weigh? I should note that I doubt I will be cooking much in 40 F weather.

Astro... I think it's a great name!! :) I was just lettin you know what you are up against... Monty Python! :p

It is a funny skit, but I don't think any of them really walk like that. While most of them are guys getting to do something neat that they have dreamed about for a longtime, and that dream is finally coming true.

On the other hand perhaps they should be able to names themselves. :-?

Hey AK. Back to the stove. By my calculations 20ml is just over 1/2 oz in weight, correct? I understand that I will not be carrying a scale on the trail, but I am weighing at home during my trials.

One day three men were hiking along and came upon a wide, raging river. They needed to get to the other side, but it looked impossible to ford, and they had no idea of how to do it. The first man prayed: “Please God, give me the strength to cross this river.”
Poof! God gave him big strong arms and legs and he was able to swim across the river—though it took him two hours to do it.
Seeing this, the second man prayed: “Please God, give me the strength and ability to cross this river.”
Poof! God gave him a rowboat and he was able to row across the river—though it took him three hours to do it.
The third man had observed how this had worked out for his two hiking buddies, so he also prayed, saying, “Please God, give me the strength, ability and intelligence to cross this river.”
Poof! God turned him into a woman. He looked at the trail map, and in a minute walked across the bridge.
