Humor

[Drybones]

I'm fairly new to hiking...needed an excuse to go to the woods without killing something...and will start a thru hike 3/12. The info on this site is extremely usefull but the best thing I've gotten from it is the humor. I've had tears in my eyes a few times laughing at some of the postings. The "people" experience is the reason I'm doing this hike. There are a few exceptions but most of the people contributing answers to this site seem to be people I'd like to spend some time with.

He refers to the "Great Sleeping Rebellion" of 2008. The wounds run deep. So, so deep.

If I recall the melee finally stopped after the shelter dwellers intervened and threatened to sent the mice into the battle.

Don't forget the stove wars. Been going on for decades.

Some of those mice did see action and didn't make it through however. Someone posted a picture of several of them awhile ago.

We hammockers prefer to call it the "War Between the REM States". I still maintain rodents are against the Geneva Convention.

[hikerboy57]

the geneva convention clearly states "rodents shall not be used as offensive weapons. rodents can be used in self defense, however, and rodent launchers are to be used for this purpose only."

We're funny? Funny how? Like a clown? We're here to amuse you?

The "Stove War" is only one faction of the great war that still endures, how can we forget "Filtration Battles" vollies are thrown back and forth everyday. Filter bombs, aqua-mira bottle grenades, not to mention being exposed to the steri-pen U.V. rays. I won't even get into the cat hole siege.

You should see my cat's arms...!!

Dr. Dolittle goes into a bar and meets a Mexican, a Dairyman, and an Arab. He tells the men, "I've been talking to all of your animals and they want you to know a few things. The burro wants you to stop riding him so much. The Mexican say "Si, no surprise there." The cows all say you milk them too hard and your hands are cold. The Vermonter says, "what do you expect them to say", and the sheep say...... The Arab interjects, " SHEEP LIE !"

If we were supposed to sleep in trees we would have prehensile tails. There is a 12 step program to get you back to ground..... the ladder is waiting. LOL

And of course, who can forget "Pole Wars!"
Lone Wolf even climbed down from his petard to proclaim them silly sticks.
The only answer of course is "whacka-whacka".
As we click-click walk away....
