John, Hijab. The MS thru hike is dedicated to world peace and understanding. Welcome aboard.

It's the cone of silence. That explains why we haven't heard from him lately.

John, Minnesota Smith is a single man. It would not be proper for the ladies on the trail to see his full face and hair. Only his wife may remove the veil in proper old world tradition.

John, He does carry his own personal toilet seat. For future reference, it is stored in his pack: level #6, compartment D, container H-1. Right next to six rolls of TP.

I love that Darwin again! I watched that last night and I was thinking the same thing. What a great signature.

Whatever you say babe.

A haiku. Nice.

Ender at his desk
He's not working very hard
White Blaze wastes his time

My annual Dutch Oven cooking and leaf watching event will be in late October, that's how we first met 3 years ago. But I don't think he'll be finished in time. I'm sure we'll have a post hike get-together and I'm really looking forward to it.

SteveM:

There are already all sorts of celebratory events planned for the time period co-inciding with Smitty's probable finish date.

Most people call this "Christmas."

**Alligator** · 09-20-2006, 13:25

Ho Ho Ho now that was funny.

Enjoyed the Thai Coup also.

It is a head restraint.

It keeps his head at the proper pressure level and attached to his body. Otherwise, it would overinflate and float away.

**Mother's Finest** · 09-20-2006, 17:13

allright, I was doing some ciphering this morning while sitting on the toilet....if things work out correctly, and MS does not finish up till 2007, then we may be able to carry this whole thread forward for Matthewski.....

just throwing the idea out there.

Go Minnesota Smith, Go Minnesota Smith.

This thread has helped out in the real world too, there are people getting married and having children that met on this thread.......

peace

Is it possible to put one of those hunting dog collar things on him? I doubt that we would have to worry about a female hiker removing it.
