Hey, I've got a pet-peeve and I'm not going to let friendships get in the way of it. Do you realize Olly and I had to miss breakfast for you. I'll make it up to you, how about a AAA membership? Would that patch things up?
What is overlanding? An expedition versus car-camping?

Cool, I'm a beer brewer because I open beers out of my fridgeGonna start a forum for it lol. I gotta laugh though Cody, your generally the first to call out people for pretending to be something they are not (i.e. baseball players = athletes) but your taking the Pope stance on this one. Times sure have changed... A man is entitled to have a friendly discussion about a pet peeve no? I'll be the pot, you be the kettle.
You've made it quite clear yourannoyed by the actions of some? Why surround yourself with them then? Drama lama?
This is the key here dude
Pay special attention to the last part of that. Don't take me so seriously...I even put in a winky face!

Oh, you had to miss breaky? Well that just makes me feel bad.
Speaking of breakfast, you know who never bitched about missing breakfast? Roald Amundsen. You know what he did? Led the first successful expedition to the South Pole. You want to know why he never bitched about missing breakfast? Because he went on expeditions, not some gourmet catered safari.
And yes, I'll take the AAA membership, it'll get me a discount at the Motel 6 for my next car camping ExPo excursion. Thanks, bud.

I caught your drift and I'm sending it right back your way. I won't sleep until the word expedition takes a permit to use!

I invented breakfast, how dare you talk to me about the most important meal of the day. Breakfast puts hair on your head... you should try it!
I don't know that calling it just a pet peeve is correct. I think Kurt's life and career are largely based on requiring a certain knowledge. For those of us laymen it might seem like a silly thing to worry over, but if Kurt were to show the same ignorance and lack of character some have towards those associated with his business he would no longer have a business. As an appraiser it is often that I have to explain the difference between what I do vs a home inspector. If I went to a convention and called my work an inspection I would have zero credit. I see it the same.
I think Kurt is just to REAL expo. While the rest of us are not

Oh, you invented breakfast? Along with being the authority on determining what expedition/overlanding means? I think the Jacksonian Institute of Names and Measures would beg to differ on this.

As a BOD member of JINM, I can assure you they would not. Lest you forget about Mr. Jackson's expedition: http://www.expeditionutah.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1484
Yes, he used the word expedition no fewer than 30 times, he and I are on the same page... the rest of the BOD is fully supporting.
Umm yeah. How has that worked for you recently? Balding has also been linked to suicide, I'll fix a user-induced carb on the side of the road but don't expect me to talk you off a ledge over your follicle follies.

Some believe that being expo is like looking for a black cat in a dark room... once expo is achieved, you learn that expo is the room.

As the shorthand typist for the BOD meetings, I remember Mr. Jackson was voted out of the JINM BOD two years ago, and I haven't seen you at a meeting since the famed Lake Bonneville debate. So I'm not sure how reliable your assurances are.

User inflicted carb issue? No, no, no. We agreed that it was the Weber's fault. And my hairline is working out great, I'm clawing my way to middle management as we speak. By the time its all gone, I'll be CEO here. And chicks dig it.

How many people here use the word expo at least partially because it makes Kurt blow a gasket?
I'm guilty.

I thought it was just Mt. Dew? Has started including solids in his diet?
I also work in an industry where some people confuse vocabulary...or think the are doing something way more advanced than they really are and refuse to listen to anything different. I can't spend my time pointing out how they are wrong, or else I'd alienate a large portion of my business. Instead, I try to explain in a way that doesn't make them feel like an idiot for not knowing the CIEIFNS standards (cody's international etymology institute for naming shit (which, for the record, does not officially authorize the JINM)). I doubt Kurt really wants his customers to know his opinion of their "expo" rig, because that would just make them feel stupid and take their business elsewhere. But, I get his frustration. I get frustrated with people thinking baseball is a sport, tomato's are food, and hipsters are people all the time. I too, am trying to change the world.

CIEFNS standards are much stricter than JINM ones.

You sir have an interesting memory. Being our coffee boy hardly makes you the secretary of the BOD. We have had several quorum discussions since the Lake Bonneville debate. Your obviously not aware of our current projects.
User inflicted carb issue? No, no, no. We agreed that it was the Weber's fault. And my hairline is working out great, I'm clawing my way to middle management as we speak. By the time its all gone, I'll be CEO here. And chicks dig it.
I'd say anything to get you to move along... it worked.

It doesn't make me blow a gasket, rather it makes it easy for me to label others

Code Red to be exact. I didn't say I always partake, just that I invented. Some stuff I don't do first I just do better... In this case I invented it.

Precisely. Except tomatoes are delicious food, tomatoes, avocados and boobs are proof that God loves mankind.
