T.I.T.T.I.E.S. West Texas Trip 2008

[Texas Blonde]

Hey Scott I might go to this. I'll sleep on the floor or a couch if I have to. But seeing these pics made me really wanna go. Let me know if you need someone else we can carpool if you plan to drive .
-Eddy

If your going to drive, definitely drive with Scott. I hear he is one hell of a mechanic.

This may sound really really stupid....
But, couldn't the group come up with a better acronym?
Its just.. um. um... young people are impressionable and
it can create the wrong connotations, or make people think
in more adult terms...

Just a thought.

It doesn't sound stupid at all. But I have to agree with you some of those things. I did laugh at it because it's funny but at the same time it's rude and offensive ( to some people ). I'm not offended by it because nothing is wrong with my....

Well I'm done on that part. But for the sake of it for people who are offended by it, I think that you should change it to some degree so that every one can be happy about the new revision to it.

Hope what I said didn't offend anyone.....;P

Bah.... Stop being sour-puss'. If the name is that big of a deal perhaps your interest in the purpose isn't very strong.

Car pooling is a definate maybe Eddie. I don't want to rent a car when I get out there anyway. I'll do some math and PM you with any details.... as for the room, I'm gonna cover it, and anyone who wants in can just give me cash. PM's will go to everyone who wants in probably sometime this week.

 

[Black Widow88]

I'm not being a sour puss! I'm just saying that if it offends people you should change it a bit. Is that bad?

Ohh i don't know about that, the only thing stupid about it is maybe thinking anyone on here would think in an adult manner ROTFLOL

 

[Scott C.]

'cept for you right Drach?.... Adults usually come with a more advanced sense of humor.


Lighten up folks. The only offense being committed is the disregard of the topic at hand. I'm guilty too, so I'll be quiet.

T.I.T.T.I.E.S and myself are not out to make everyone happy. Period. End of story. If someone is offended by a simple name, then they would not like the trip, because the goal is just to have a good time. It's called FUN. www.dictionary.com


As far as I'm concerned, I'll leave the P.C. ass kissing to the politicians.




Now, back to questions about the trip by those people actually interested in attending...... (This is an on topic forum, if I recall correctly.)

Sounds good... anymore discussion on that topic will be deleted. (unless you just want to remark how great the name is ). I'm leaving the discussion above just so people know we've been there and done that... no point in suggesting anything or complaining, the names not changing.

Oh if I was able to go I know that I would have a blast. Anything involving insects is fun for me. Love them. And sorry if I sounded a bit harsh. That wasn't my intention.

Also post pics of all the bugs you find k? Wanna know what you guys saw.

Ive only been awake for twenty minutes, and you have made my day. Thanks!


Speaking of carpooling, I have four seats open in my truck. But I warn you, the conversations in my truck can get pretty grim. "Ma'am, you have a deformed baby, can I kill it for you?"

Im going to get a number of walkie talkies for us while we are driving, that way we can communicate easier if people in the other cars need anything. Cell phone service is shaky at best in alot of the places we will be. Also, I drive like a bat out of hell, for those of you who werent there at Acon. So dont feel bad about asking me to slow down, lol. I think my average speed on the last Big Bend trip was about ninety.

 

[~Abyss~]

oh oh i wanna ride with the blond girl.

[Mr. Mordax]

I should be getting my financial aid refund at the end of March . . . then I'm buying plane tickets.



Sky, I'll still want to mail you my blacklight to prevent airport security getting weird.

 

[arrowhd]

I think I may just about have my wife convinced that this trip would be as fun as vacation on the beach in Florida. Any more selling points?

 

[Mr. Mordax]

Any more selling points?

Sky's hosting it. But, I don't think that's a selling point for your wife.

Um . . . it's a week-long trip running around West Texas looking for bugs? And eating awesome French toast? And doing an observatory thingy?

Seriously, what more do you want?

LOL!!!! This actually made me laugh.
Thanks

 

[Texas Blonde]

LOL!!!! This actually made me laugh.
Thanks

That was one of the best conversations I think Ive ever had. I still laugh about that all the time. And man, I passed up on so much good roadkill on that trip. Which was probably a good thing, considering how close we came to eating that Nighthawk. Imagine if we had picked up DOR stuff!!



Another FYI to anyone in my truck, Ill stop for good roadkill.

 

[arrowhd]

Ill stop for good roadkill.

Now THATS a good selling point. lol. My wife hates it when I do that.

 

[Scrotalus]

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to register and post to show my support for T.I.T.T.I.E.S. I herp Texas a lot and stuff, so I thought I'd say hello.

Also, it isn't illegal to roadcruise in Texas. It is illegal to hunt for reptiles and amphibians via road, but not inverts! Also, if you aren't collecting anything but are still seen pulling over and photographing herps, as long as you are compliant and have no herping gear in your car, you'll be alright.

Everyone be sure to check out our movie at

www.alternarushthemovie.com

We will likely be down there filming and maybe we could get a few of your folks on camera...

 

[Scrotalus]

Here are some pics of herps that I saw last June while filming for that movie...

it was a party the whole way down...complete with rain, brownies and grandiose visions of herping success...

This is Alejandro of EmeraldExotics.net...a real badass on many levels...

back off ladies, he's taken...by the male Rio Grande gold on his head...

I'm looking forward to seeing all of my fellow T.I.T.T.I.E.S enthusiasts...
