Should I say "Hey, FNG from Montana, you ever leave Miles City what with the way you drive up here?" or should I say "Move over Flatlander(I'm one), follow a veteren"?
Just wondering.
I lean towards FNG and no one takes offense.
 Ahem...you can call me LAXterra or LAX(wife is Mrs. LAX...daughter is Miss LAX) or 4XTERRA(Plates/Website/E-mail/tried for toll-free hotline) or "Hey you...guy with the 10 camera's mounted to the yellow truck(I say yellow truck as to not confuse you with the OTHER truck with 10 cameras)" but... if you call me FNG you will either have 5 people answer you on the radio with "What do you WANT FOG!!!!" or a chorus of raspberries or no response at all.

I AM on the list, but I would fall under the FOG list. I am GOX habitual repeater. Hi, my name is Jeff and I am a GOXer, is this the correct meeting? (Although with the alcohol, either group will take us in!)

If you're behind me (or in front of me), just call me by my license plate (BACPAKR) - or call me Chuck. Looking forward to meeting all of you.

I think we should write numbers on the back window with soap, or that special water soluble paint, so that we can Identify people on the trail. I've never run with you guys before so I won't even be able to recognise the FOG's X's from the rear. We do this in the Army while in a convoy so you can tell a vehicle that they're haveing problems, or in our cases about to lose a oil pan to a bad rock. We can put the numbers in the upper left corner so you dont have to worry about identifying an X you don't know, just shout out a quick warning.

I think you'll be able to recognize me, I don't think anyone else will have the same identification markings-  By the way, you can call me "FNG mike", "AZ", "miker", "xterraz", "Robi", "a$$hole" or whatever you come up with, I've been called all and even worse. I'll answer to just about anything, doesn't matter, pick one or make one up

This will be my first GOX... I'm not hardcore off road nor as young as all of you but I hope to get there and have a great time. I am really eager to meet members, outside of the SWXC, and I know I will learn a lot out on the trails. See Ya there...

I own a sandrail and have had off road motorcycles but never done any true 4 wheeling until last year. I think it's going to be a pretty good mix of ages and experience, just enjoy the ride

As you can see from the license plate and (if you can read it) the Kanji, this is the Yellowjacket! I think quite a few people have added custom plates, so that will help with identifying many people on this trip.

Well...I think that means Synchro that we will welcome you to the FNG's for GOX group. Don't worry... according to my calculations we out number the FOG's by more then 2 to 1!!!!!!
