Tales From The Wild: Episode II
Tent Makers should subscribe to truth in advertising. The number of people listed as being able to sleep in a tent should be normal average people not the number of manarexic gay midgets that a tent can sleep comfortably.

Ok, so next time I buy a tent, if it sleeps 4, I should divide that number by 2 just to be on the safe side?
Divide by 2 and then add one. That’s the formula that I have worked out anyway. – Evyl

it’s a problem that spreads well beyond tent-makers. In my younger days, my dad noticed the same problem with the labelling on boxes of Mac-n-cheese claiming that one thin blue box fed four people despite producing only two bowls of cheesy noodles.
i believe these label-makers are all very tiny people. Perhaps they are, as you claim, Manarexic Midgets. I always assume the number on the package refers to small children. halve it to get the number of normal adults the packaged item accomodates, then halve that again to get the number of portly half-sasquatch adults it will work for.
Oompa Loompa’s have been outsourced. That could be one explanation. – Evyl

A tent for 4 means: two of you have to lay on the other two persons.
That could be it. – Evyl

Why? How many manorexic, gay midgets do you need in one tent??? And why does their sexual orientation even come into the equation? LOL
If they were gay then they wouldn’t mind sleeping asshole to elbow. – Evyl

I agree, those things are small!
However, if you like cuddling with the person you are with than it’s a whole different story 😉
True. – Evyl

No fine print to qualify their statements? 😆

Oh, I have heard anyone who has ever been camping say this about their tents. It never has room for as many people as they claim. Unless you first bind everyone so they can’t move when they sleep and arrange them in a manner that nobody in their right mind would ever sleep. I mean, we’re not sardines in a can here, people – we’re humans in a tent! Grrr.
I hear ya. – Evyl

Geez, I’m glad I don’t go camping. Gay midgets, huh? What, does that mean the tent could come up infested with inch worms?
Now that’s funny. – Evyl

Ahhh, if only. – Evyl

Got it 😀
The cop and I have one of those huge 10-man tents. We keep it all to ourselves when we camp and fill it with pillows, comforters, booze, and other good things.
Sounds like fun. – Evyl

My idea of camping involves a cabin, hot water, power, cellfone access and a kitchen to cook my food in. I dont do this sleeping on the floor shit.
If you must go camping then get like a 16 person tent and take three people. problem solved.
That would work. – Evyl

Manorexic…..gotta remember that one!! Somehow we do fit 5 chicks in a 8 person tent…complete with double high air mattresses…..We call it the Hilton…. 🙂
I first heard the term attributed to Dennis Quaid after his role in Wyatt Earp. And thanks so much for the visual. – Evyl

Now why the fuck am I thinking about a manorexic midget’s ‘tent pole’. It’s going to take some serious drinking to get that bizarre thought out of my mind – or enhance it. 😉
Most likely it would need enhancement. – Evyl

Only 2 of us fit in our “sleeps four” tent by the time we’ve put up our queen size 2 ft high air bed lol
They do take up the room. – Evyl

Personly, I find it very useful to know how many manarexic gay midgets can fit in a number oif different places…
I shant go into why. I will leave that to your imagination.
Leaving it to my imagination is a scary thing. – Evyl

Same thing goes with RVs. Ours is supposed to sleep 6, but at least 2 of them would have to be midgets. Or little people. Whatever. You know what I mean.
I get ya. – Evyl

No, no, no…you got it all wrong. It’s like the sleeper on my old man’s semi truck.
Sleeps 2…1 wide and 2 deep.
Yep. – Evyl
