Yup, this is a humour blog, and everything said is tongue-in-cheek.

But: I have gone camping (fluffy car camping), entirely by accident (friend of a friend), with individuals who should heed this advice and stay far the h*** away from any place outside a large urban area.

It's not their loud music, nor the baiting of hungry bears or rutting elk, nor their using pristine mountain streams as sewers, nor their utter incompetence in staying warm and dry. It's the endless whining.

No blood on my axe, though I thought about it.

Guess I'm becoming a grumpy old bear myself ...

That blog is a disturbing mirror of my life.

Except for the Bob Marley section, tatoos and I had a Honda instead of a Vespa.

Don't know what my Kosher Sea Salt cost.

It was good enough that I might buy a copy of the book.

I've seen this site before. It's hilarious, if you can laugh at yourself and stereotypes in general.

I wonder if stereotype activities about other races would be seen as funny, or racist? interesting dichotomy sometimes.

Rhetorical question. . . .

'pends on who is writin' it; as always.

I loved it. My skin is thick enough. You should here the stuff I say about village idiots (old term for epileptics) and I am one! Got to keep it light in life.

Christian Lander's site, "Stuff White People Like" is hilarious. The blogpost on camping is great.
