    HAHA I knew this would perk a few ears and draw the criticism wolves in for a fresh kill. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

    I hate it when people make me break out the cyber dictionary! Ok, it has 2 definitions 1- Any of a race of supernatural beings or 2- A person who sleeps in a park or under a bridge? Yikes!

    Around here it means someone who provokes an argument, asks loaded questions, gives loaded responses, or basically anything to disrupt the calm of WB.

    Search for "Lobster" or his Desert friend if you need some examples.

    "The calm" would be quite an understatement. haha I merely find humor in the responses that some "regulars" seem to give. When I first found this site, I took it seriously, but the more I read and mess around, I kind of find myself not caring much anymore. I hope I don't get labeled as a troll, but if I do.. Well, I got kicked out of 2 different high schools and I've always provoked for the sake of a statement so I wouldn't be surprised! haha Do I get a bridge with the job?

    There's always another bridge somewhere.

    I took it the same way when I started. Now I usually only read the first page or so of a thread and do not subscribe to anything other than the other trails forums.

    That calms things down a lot.

    Sweet! Someone else who knows words of Socrates! But um, wasn't he refering to lies? And I never lie...

    That's cool. Well, look for my freakish neon green tent because I'll be getting a ride back down for it. From the pictures I've seen, I don't want to miss it.
