Homesteading....

[iceman]

Hey, Owens, mind if I pitch my tent over there, off to the side a bit?

Looks kinda cozy, not too close to the fire, and I might be far enough off to get a good night's sleep when the kids start partying.

But I think it's close enough that I can join the fun when I'm in the mood.

Wake me if you see a bear, please.

I think I might pitch a tent also. This campsite is a lot farther away from the interstate than some. But I wouldn't mind playing frisbee in the highway now and then, you know?

</STRONG>Pitch away - Just remember not to pee uphill from your tent...

Hmmmmm, if there's a mass migration, someone could really screw things up by registering all of the powdermag names. Most of the maggots have already registered, but there bmust be a few big ones left.

[Yossarian]

On the other hand, new names are nice sometimes...

damn,
go for a quick peak bag to find the campsite has filled up.

y'all seem like good folks tho. I dont even go to the public campsite anymore except to take the occasional crap when the wilderness toilet gets rank. :D

Yes, I see that happening. Often the public campsite is full, so I pitch a tent around the smaller wilderness campsites.

[iceman]

Sure is quiet in this here campground, though.

[Woodsy]

charming though.

Maybe we could get a keg 7 build a bonfire eat some fungus & howl @ the moon. :D

[iceman]

Sounds like a plan. I'm always up for fun, gi.

Today really upset me on powmag. I year, 1000 posts (lots of inane drivel for sure) but I'm out. I loved that place, but I feel sick to my stomach, cheated on, I don't know. I'm not interested in going back though. This is the last "Clack" post you'll see by the way. Hopefully we can make something nice here. Talk with you soon.

Jumping ship, removing whatever positive influence you have, does as much to degrade the board as the few assholes who are actively trying to ruin it. Not that I blame you....

There's only a few of "us" and hundreds of "them."

Fact is, it needs moderation. Not fascist moderation, but just enough.

Ummmm, anyone mind telling me what happened? I've been on the road for a few days.

[Clack]

The place is just a circus out of control. New people feel they need to go over the top to be noticed. DINMS in response is posting fake drunk posts to compete for attention and the threads with the most responses have to do with hairbrushes in people's asses.

The kicker for me was when some oversensitive new people who weren't immediately accepted had their feelings hurt decided to trash the board with disgusting gay porn all over the place. I should be working more anyway, socking away some money for the season. (Quitting Jan 2 :D) I'll come here to talk skiing. Powmag's lost its magic.

btw- that clack guy sure is a puss taking it so personally. ;)

[Owens Never Sleeps]

These things seem to have cycles. Running boards is wierd. I do a few others besides this one. Some just take off, some are hard to get rolling, some get the right vibe and manage to keep it, and some go to hell in a hand basket. I'm kind of baffled at the lack of traffic on this board. Our site gets SHIT TONS of traffic, yet people haven't bought into the board in a big way. I dunno it's a meestery.

[Buster Highmen]

Must be the colors.

[iceman]

And the wide borders. So five minutes ago.

[Woodsy]

most likely the grumpy old men that frequent the place

[Buster Highmen]

Which place? What were we talking about?

Call the nurse, my Depends needs changing

[optics]

Newbie all over again. Fun.

[Clack]

Double posts will take care of that status quickly though. ;)

Edit - Gawd, this fancy board even has a working delete option

[ November 08, 2002: Message edited by: monster dump. ]

[gonzo]

Hey fellas...after checking the board a few times after moving, I don't think I will be going back their much either. Pretty horrible - knew I would find you guys here too :). Owens, looks like you won't be the village bicycle anymore... ;)

[iceman]

I dunno, it's actually been pretty good over there lately. I'll just keep up this pendulum business, I guess.

The crowd that is there and not here. I like the crowd that is showing up here, it is a small civilized crowd.

[Karl Stall]

Looks like the crowd will be headed this way later today...unless they're headed to the hills. :eek:

Unlikely.

[mfi2000]

Ok pinner lets have it.Do I post too much,am i too old for the board,what? I'm just looking to BS a little.Locked in a high security control room with 3 other people gets real boring.I'm new at this.tell me the deal.

[Pinner]

Originally posted by mfi2000:

Just as I've suspected... iceman is an inmate!

[mfi2000]

Pinner, I can't help replying to that.I hate to admit it,but you have the best sarcasm going.You should try to make a living with it.Howard Stern needs writers,give him a call.My job makes me feel like an inmate,good call.

[Pinner]

That validation means so much to me. Really.

BTW-- I think Howard Stern is a prick.

[mfi2000]

Due to your nature,I'm not sure if you mean that.But I have to say,you cut right to the heart of the matter with few words and the perfect picture to go along with them.The life is a cycle one floored me,the wife cracked up too.You have a style like no other.There's got to be a way for you to capitolize on it.think about it.keep em coming. :D

[mfi2000]

Oh yea,Stern has gone way down hill over here in NY.Same shit over and over,since Jacky Martling left,the show sucks.they need you man!

Graduate degree in journalism will do that.

Hey pinner. It was one of my first time posting. I wrote about happiness and shit,Odin replied with deep thoughts (the guy is deep) I wrote "life is a cycle" you posted a picture of an old time bicycle and wrote "who Knew". It floored me. You come out with shit that is very original,sarcasm is an art,you do it well. Now about the degree in journalism,how come your not writing, your good at it. Editorials would be your thing. Just a thought.

[Pinner]

How do you know I don't?

[iceman]

What the hell's been happening here?

I ain't no damn inmate neither.

The minute I wrote that, I said to myself he's going to say "what makes you think I don't". I take it you freelance? One time you said you weren't working lately, I had no idea what you used to do, or are doing. So, what do you write, besides some of the best one liners around here?

[PlayHarder]

This reminds of me of some of the threads on the pmag forums when I first started lurking over there. Humor and ski porn - looks like another year or so of work down the drain.
