[pct-l] Singing at the April Kickoff

[AsABat]

Switchback,
 
I think we have a deal. We will double our original offer, and throw
some tomatoes, uh, I mean throw in some dinner as well. L-Rod was not
part of the original deal, and while we very much would like to have her
there. We will triple your pay if she does perform with you. However,
note that we already have a binding contract, and your failure to
perform will have grave consequences on your future as a trail pirate.
 
I know nothing about toilet papering your campsite (but hey, if anyone
wants to punk Switchback's camp this year, I will make sure security
stays away while you do so). I do recall your campsite was littered with
much trash last year. Hikers should also note that I believe Switchback
was served a summons a couple years ago by the Campo sheriff for fraud,
misrepresentation of his services, and dereliction of duty as a trail
pirate.

"PCT Wheels" at ADZ on
Friday night. You will be on stage after dinner and before the evening
movie presentation. A sound system will be available. We are trying to
arrange for instrumental backup, but if you need backup singers you
should arrange those yourself. Your original contract did not have any
conditions precedent for specific female backup singers, and your oral
agreement to perform was previously accepted and relied upon (estoppel).
Therefore, your contract is binding, and legal staff will be present to
take ensure specific performance.

Switchback replies: Unsupported and I are union contract players.  There
is a minimum payment involved.  Plus, if you look at the fine print, you
will notice the Switchback escape clause.  It requires the accompaniment
of a certain Lightning Rod.  I happen to know that she has a previous
engagement.  She will be at a place called Hiker Heaven desperately
preparing for the onslaught of the 2009 PCT Hiking Herd.  Bless her.

Say, aren't you also known as the Hiker Camp Marauder???  I seem to
remember my campsite down at the Kickoff being toilet papered each year
when my back is turned.  The humble and innocent Switchback is abused
and humiliated each year at the Kickoff by hiking bullies and mischief
makers.  Does this sound familiar?  Does this hiking shoe fit?
