woohoo!!! i bet he loves all the attention....
Uncle Pirate making news.......I knew it was only a matter of time!
Here's the best line in the story;
“Used to be for hikers now it’s carnival city,” he says. “Fake hikers are coming out of the woodwork. Cyber hikers.”
“They’ve never been out in the woods but they read a lot of books and watch movies. They’re experts,” he said.
:D
I have worn out three pens signing autographs. Can't wait until the movie comes out. Maybe Bill Bryson will play myself in the movie. Tennessee Jack will play Wee Willie.

What do you know about Pirates you CYBER HIKER. You are just jealous that no newspaper has ever printed a story about you. Last year there were several of us that made the New York Times Sunday edition Myself, Lone Wolf, Wee Wille the Prince Of Whales and Tennessee Jack. If you would get up off your rear end and do something constructive maybe you would be mentioned in an article besides Cyber Hiker Magazine.
Ahhrrrg a Pirate's life it 'tis..

The best I could do was have my likeness appear in a photo on the front page of the region section of the Bristol Herald Courier for Sunday, May 20, 2007. Yes, I too am jealous Pirate!;)

Well, you've posted something like 30 times since yesterday afternoon.
"Internet hiker" sounds pretty accurate to me, bucko. :-?

Maybe you should look at total posts. You've got a lot more internet miles than I do. Woowoo!
And the term was cyberhiker, as in don't do no walkin' just talkin'. That doesn't describe me, and you know it.

Correct. But not lately!
See ya out there soon, between us we probably have two good legs.
We may not be fast but we'll get there eventually, NW.
See ya.
Newsworthy indeed. We need more men of his caliber.
Other than setting his hair on fire, throwing an incendiary device into a group of hikers, burning his thumb and apparently accepting some moonshine just what did he do that so impresses everyone? He may be the greatest guy in SW Virginia but the article kind of made him seem a few bricks short of a load. Hopefully he has more depth than the article would lead us to believe. :D
Pirate has been in the news a million times this is nothing new. Him and Willie have always been celebrity hikertrash. AT least now I have some updated material for my Blog ;)

Matthewski's no cyber hiker; I brought him to the trail with me personally a few weeks ago, when I was heading out to do trail maintenance.
He can get a bit silly, tho'... :banana

Camojack-"He can get a bit silly, tho'... :banana "...and that's when Matthewski's on his best behavior!;)
Pirate for Prez.....
Wee Willie for Vice Prez...
They'll end the war, move tent city back to the river, repeal all open container laws, move the capital to Billville, paint the White House blue and put it on the Island.
Our slogan is:
We're ain't nuthin' but "Blue", and if you're talkin' "White" it better be on a tree or in a jar.
Make it hap'n cap'n

Wonder should be put in charge of Domestic Relations.... I'm not sure what that means but the girl knows everyone... I definitely support LWolf for head of ATF&P.... and Mala for head of Homeland Security!

HA !!
Krewzer this is funny as heck .
Okay, I'll send you a few bucks.
There's such a thing as a stretch HumVee? 2 MPG?
And of course, the lost toe nail, always reminds me of the Doyle Hotel story that B'Jack tells so well.....:eek:
Uncle Silly
05-24-2007, 15:25

I'm not sure we'd need to toss the Justices, just legally re-iterate their function as a standard of Constitutional Law rather than interpreters of it. The Constitution is pretty plain spoken after all. A think a sizeable jail term attached to flagrant "interpretation" would be useful in inducing SCJs to keep their personal moralities and philosophies out of the court room.
