So.

Anybody wanna place a bet on the date of the last post on The Thread? Closest without going over wins the pot.

DixCrit, Sarge 'n' T-Roll ineligible for obvious reasons.

I'm in for ten, date to be e-mailed to a disinterested volunteer who we trust to judge.

I would predict disinterested volunteers by the droves except they're by and large, well,....disinterested.

So the first order of business is to generate excitement among the disinterested.

Same problem the Republicans just had, isn't it?

call me behind, but who is this guy???

You've got to read the entire Minnesota Smith thread to answer that question. But, don't do that to yourself, I gave up on it long ago.

Somebody told me that he sent water in every mail drop...

MS is far to thrifty to waste postage on water. What he did include in his mail drops was dehydrated water which weighs far less.

I heard rumours that Minnesota Smith..every single night would filter, treat, AND boil up to six liters of water. Is this really true??
================================

No idea ...but that's the kind of stuff that feeds the flame.

=========================================

I did not treat municipal water, first off. When I was going to make tea or hot chocolate, I filtered (via a single coffee filter and a small, food-grade, collapsible plastic funnel) the water for it, and then brought it to a boil. That was the only water I treated by boiling.

My usual way of treating water was to do the identical coffee filter routine, followed by Aqua Mira (a chlorine dioxide source). I figured that removing what hikers call "floaties" (bug parts, silt/sand, leaf fragments, bark, etc.) was useful in making the AM more effective. Plus, this encouraged me to drink more water, always a good thing while hiking, as CF-ed water doesn't result in crunching God-knows-what when you take water breaks.

Don't confuse "disinterested" with "uninterested".

DWM's got it right, "disinterested" means someone who is not affiliated and is has no interest, or connection with a contest (for example). Disinterested people are used as impartial judges, juries, trustees, contest administrators, etc.

As for uninterested...we all know what that means... as in "I'm uninterested in being a disinterested referee"
