I recommend you tell us exactly which year you are talking about.
Well, most everyone seems to be taking the side of the hiker who came in from the rain. Having read Wingfoot's 1st person account of this story on Trailplace...I'm assuming the exact same thing...
Is this the first broad and emphatic defense of Wingfoot on Whiteblaze?
For me it happened one day around Ceres, VA. 8 of us were trying to hitch, which is pointless, except that an Econoline van stopped with a woman and her teenage son. In we pile, on to Dairy Queen,...
I don't get people who say that PA isn't particularly rocky. The trail passes through an awful lot of rock fields...unstable rocks the size of footballs, just waiting to snap your ankles.
On the...
So Pain^4 = Death?
Really? My first post doesn't make it clear? If that's what you call "refined" humor, I'd hate to see what you consider base humor.
I know you were, but it's more than just wounded ego that makes people dislike Bryson. After publishing the passage to which I referred, it amazes me that Bryson has not been ostracized from decent...
Alastair Moock - Walking to the End of the World
Eddie From Ohio - Old Dominion
Tom Waits - Long Way Home
Hmmm...like the old woman in Hiawassee that he compared to a dog? Yeah, because nothing's funnier than mocking the elderly when their minds age. Especially when you do it in print and give enough...
Some funny questions though. I don't see anything controversial about agreeing that the one party state has the advantage of efficiency. That doesn't mean that I want that situation, just that I...
Hello...I am wondering if anyone has kept in touch with a northbounder from 2000 named Philosopher. Tall guy from South Africa. Thanks.
Used to be like that. Now it happens after a 7 yard gain...or after tackling a receiver who just caught a pass.
Never mind the stink, et al. Just look at the M/F ratio. Your wife will be pleased.
Try to get Allister Moock in your head. "Walking to the end of the world" and "A Life I Never Had" are both nicely applicable to trail life.
Someone threw an egg at me in Pearisburg.
It missed.
Moleskin? Second skin? Duct tape? That's nice, if you don't mind it peeling off, moving around, &c.
Newskin is what you want. Works wonders on hot spots, blisters, cuts, burns. Maybe even as...
You're applying to Mudd and not to Caltech?
I liked using the Companion and Data Book in concert. The best part is the convenience, as the Data Book fits nicely in your pocket (and I'd refer to it many times each day), and I could keep the...
Have we all forgotten VaTech?
Gobble gobble
I don't know. I went through some spells of not being able to get any safe sex and the only risk was excessive frustration.
(Yeah, yeah...I know what you meant)
The AT is not a sporting event, and the ATC does not recognize any records for speed or anything else. Thus, there are no records. Discussion of these things diminishes the AT and detracts from the...
It wouldn't be Christian to deny your children presents, good food, and all that fun just because you don't believe in Jesus.
While I appreciate that you think I'm a big star, more likely I would be someone else who could not find room at the inn. Like Mary and Joseph, (though much earlier) I too slunk off to the manger. ...
