Apologies for this lame attempt at humor.

don't feed the trolls........

good advice!

Now might be a good time to delete this silly thread which has lasted a year already.

Whew .. if nothing else, dude (Andreas) possesses fabulous writing prowess!

I re-read all the threads one after the other … now I’m all mixed up … something like … > a beautiful blonde has gas in her backpack … but then, he ate the rocks she left behind that she used for balancing her weight … she exploded after seeing his marmot pelt … someone named “Hugh G. blankity-blank” is articulating complex passages about Scandinavian name origins … while our writer lad is “witnessing” a religious rebirth as Jehovah …

I am agog as I await the sequel!!!

Probably called something like:

“The erect pelt covered rock was witnessed in a light weight gaseous backpack by a blonde!!”
