[at-l] Why I want to hike the AT

[KellyGoVols at aol.com (KellyGoVols@xxxxxxx)]

The why number 3:  To be able to come up with new cuss words, and use said 
cuss words with gay abondon. Example given below:


> As we are descending, we meet a young adventurer out alone with full pack, 
> about age 12, happy, confident, carefree. We comment on the boy's ease in the 
> treacherous ridge. Fifteen minutes later, we met his brother and father, 
> huffing up the ascent. We tell the father with admiration that his son is at the 
> Skookumchuck Trail intersection; I mispronounce the name.
> 
> "SKOO-come-chuck!" he snaps crossly, correcting my enunciation. 
> 
> Thereafter, "Skookumchuck!" becomes our all purpose expletive and word of 
> general exclamation, as in "Oh Skookumchuck, I've forgotten my whole roll of 
> toilet paper at the last privy!" or just plain, unembellished "SkooKumchuck!" 
> It says it all.

For some reason, that appeals to me.
