Calamity Jane

America, Today I'd like to talk to you for a moment about getting out of your fucking house for longer than a 20 minute period of time.

Idle Hands are the Devil's Playground. Given the state of the world, it's real easy to get insular and forget that there are other things in this world aside from smelly nerd pussy and video games, and of course putting in hours at work.

Some of you are on the west coast. A lot of you are. If you have the attention span, I humbly submit you visit one of our nation parks. The U.S. National Park Service has a whole mess of national parks you can hit up.

Don't give me that horseshit about that episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit where they rag on the National Parks. He's a neckbeard, and you are too if you can't enjoy nature.

Maybe you're poor as fuck. Poor people own guns. Don't act like you don't have a gun, poor people. Go hunting. Slay an animal, and eat it. Processing your own food is great, albeit difficult initially. Kill Animals.

If the above doesn't sound good, and you really just hate it outside I submit fishing. You can just get drunk and fish. Don't drown. Don't drown!

I don't wanna leave my house

all my stuff is here

Romanian My Escutcheon

Yellowstone and Yosemite are pretty great.

But fuck if the roads around Yosemite aren't some terrifying shit.

Berk

Calamity Jane

Swill

I live in Ohio it's not like there is much to see.

Hey look another field.

I wanna see me some mountains again.

The Smokey Mountains were ridiculous, the most beautiful natural environment I've seen outside of pictures.

I'd like to go to the Rockies maybe learn to ski someday.

Fandyien

I have work for the next eight hours

:X

Macro9

It's cold outside.

I pretty much don't hunt anymore.

Ammunition for my guns can be expensive. So I don't have the desire to waste money honing my near perfect skills.

I don't like fishing alone.

Don't have the money to waste on taking a trip right now.

So I'll pound some nails for a few hours and bark at family members. Afterwards I'll pound some beers and have a steak. Then I'll pretty much fuck off and do whatever I want. Perhaps see if I can fix one of these broken 360s I seem to have piling up.

That is my America.

Calamity Jane

get some smelly nerd pussy then, nerd

and then go look at mountains. there. there's something that pisses me off.

i don't care how fucking long you've lived around mountains, people that act all blasé about mountains can eat shit and die. they are gigantic masses of rock that will outlive you and your whole family

you better be enraptured by that shit

M.D.

ill be going outside to see stuff around Berlin

There are some goddamn beautiful places in Ohio. Just got to get out of your hidey hole up there and look for them

Fandyien

Virginia is a hella pretty state

Don't start on me over mountains. I've spent a great deal of my life in Appalachia.

I know how to appreciate that shit.

My wife is a vegetarian and is pretty anti-hunting. Some guys pretend to hunt so they can go to the strip club, but I would be washing off the deer blood and sprinkling glitter on my crotch.

Calamity Jane

metadust where the fuck are you

i can't take on the white man alone

i'm back and i'm coming for names and nuts

L|ama

mountains are pretty awesome

fjords are better

Beasteh

I live on a fucking moor

nature is right out the window

it is cold and shitty

Beasteh

there are a lot of things to be said for smelly nerd pussy

bsjezz

aa this thread is reminding me how excited i am for christmas in san fran and b.c. and 3 weeks of not touching a computer

jackal

Why must it be smelly?

L|ama

I think malodorous is a good word

sounds kinda erudite, but still nasty

jackal

Why must it be malodorous?

bsjezz

for me there is this kind of universal and sublime battle between oceans and mountains. i am also of the opinion that, like being a beatles man or an elvis man, like being a yob or a wanker, you have to choose one. you can appreciate both, but one is in your heart

the beach is in mine

L|ama

ask the malodorous nerd pussy owners

i choose the beach

You have chosen....poorly

When I spent a summer in Oregon I had a great time camping, chopping firewood, pooping in a totally gross outhouse full of spiders, and swimming in a super goddamn cold spring


It was pretty great and I'd love to do that again in Oregon/Washington State

Hunter

That's the worst part about roughing it. I'm OK sleeping in a tent, being outside, and chopping wood. I draw the line at being uncomfortable while taking a poop. Spider shack rest areas are horrible. Porta-potties feel like I'm entombed, and just crapping while squatting in the bushes is potentially hazardous in bear country.

A farmer owns 500 acres right behind us. It's like having our own little park right in our backyard. I know it's not West coast but it's only 40 minutes to the White Mountain National Forest so I might ski down Tuckerman's ravine once avalanche season passes.

jackal

I am also not completely comfortable with the pooping situation.

iamthepieman

If you bring a couple MRE's with you then there will be no pooping unless your trip lasts more than a week.

jackal

I don't know. I'm a poop machine, possibly even a poop beast.

bsjezz

i've never had any problems with a poo situation when camping

you gotta do what you gotta do

edit: plus, you know. ocean man. i camp at the beach.

L|ama

there's some plant around here that has real big leaves that are kinda soft and furry

at least as good as toilet paper, really

Mysst

fuck your "nature". if i never have to leave urban areas again I wouldn't mind a bit

Calamity Jane

no, see the trees mysst

did you vote, mysst

We have some nice metro parks in town.

But they get a littler boring having spent my whole life seeing them so often.

What else is there to see?

Mysst

fuck yo trees

fuck them :x

Monkeyfeet

stop telling me what to do

Raijin Quickfoot

Beatles and Elvis? Who argues over that? The argument is always Beatles or Rolling Stones.

That being said I probably won't leave the house today except to check the mail to see if a video game came.

Firematic.

I spend a considerable portion of my life/money planning for enjoying the wilderness and then sit in front of a computer typing all the damn time. Hopefully when I finish my thesis I can relearn how to snowboard and become a lonesome drifter for a while.
