[pct-l] Evry one who carries an Ice Axe is a Zebra

[roni h]

A few days ago I resubscirbed to the Pct-L after deciding I might just hike the PCT this spring.
   
  I was worried I would be flooded by the usual stuff on this list, mainly opinionated hikers arguing with other opinionated hikers about the need to cary Ice axes and bear Canisters.   
   
  Luckily someone  saved us from that booring routine. He got pissed off about something, and was able somehow to piss off other people, who in return were able to piss him off even more.   For the few days the pissing match went on, the posts on this  list were pretty interesting, but now, alas , the getting pissed off contest seems to have ended.  
   
  There is a long winter ahead of us, and many months before the "siera entry date arguing season" officialy starts. 
   
  so, as a service to those of us who have nothing better to do than read this list, I decided to help keep you warm in winter by annoying you by stating  the truth:
   
  After many years  of hiking if finely discoverd the one and only truth in hiking- that ALL HIKERS WHO CARRY ICE AXES ARE ZEBRA'S.
   
  Now all of you are supposed to get realy pissed off at me, and write back on this list that though you have been carrying an Ice axe for years,  Your not hoofed, nor are you a herbivore, hence you can not be a zebra. 
   Now, You should add something personal, mentioning for example the fact that I'm full of cow manure. other personal attacks might include the mention of my inabilty to use a spell checker, or a comment about how hygenicaly chalenged I am. This is your chance to use your hidden poetic abilities in conjuction with your knowledge of the male anatomy.
   
  Remember never to delete previous entries in this subject.  The more forwarded messages are in the end of your letter, the longer it will take for people to download it, and the more theyl get pissed off.
   
  With some effort we might all be able to keep ourself warm by remaining pissed off and annoyed untill spring.
