Baby wipes and a gun.

Explain to me again why people go camping?

I've never had any interest in it in the past. I don't think that camping with a bunch of Boy Scouts (or adult scouting people) is going to be much fun.

Since I have gotten more into hiking I am intrigued with the idea of doing a 2-3 day backpacking trip in the North Cascades.

A .45 revolver? :confused:

I know both what a revolver is and what the .45 ACP load is.

It is just an odd combination to suggest.

I'm just kidding.

although i have been on camping trips where one of my dip#### in-laws threw boxes of ammo in the fire. nothing will clear a campground faster than hot brass whizzing past your head at 200MPH. usually the sherriff rolls in about 45 mins later.

Hiking and camping with the Boy Scouts of America: No dice

 
When I think of hell, I think cliche BS. Imaginary place of eternal damnation. fire and brimstone, horned guy with a pictchfork

Then I scroll through the topics and see timthread is discussing the top 20 college football programs of all time.

I'm having a hard time picking what's worse

I popped my head in there and got sucked in by the stupid. Boy do I regret doing that.

Michigan is the best CFB program of all time per Timmay. :lol:

uI've managed to dodge that IOLS training for two years now. I hear it's dorky, but non-lethal.

The camping isn't bad if you at least get one or two "normal enough" adults, even without alcohol. (As long as it is just your troop camping- the big district-level events are horrifying.)

You don't say. :mellow:

The report I got from the last "normal" guy in our troop that took it was that the practical stuff (how to set up camp, etc.) was good but the leadership building exercises sprinkled here and there were hokey (for example, I think they had to make their own patrol flag or something).

good luck.

Dean Smith left $200 to every single one of his former players with a note telling them to go have a nice dinner on him. Hope Jordan can slum it for a night.

Thanks to all who have donated so far

Help?

I need the video clip of this lionel hutz moment from the simpsons:

Mr. Hutz we've been in here for four hours. Do you have any evidence at all?

Hutz: Well, Your Honor. We’ve plenty of hearsay and conjecture. Those are kinds of evidence.

I'm trying to imagine why you "need" this. :lol:

 
damn- that building explosion in my neighborhood brought back lots of not good memories of our building fire that left us homeless for a year.

the wife walks our daughter to and from school and usually goes by where that happened (it's about halfway between our place and her school)... she said she was there about an hour before the explosion. for those that have visited and seen Stomp- it's right across the street from the Stomp theater.

eta: I haven't seen the news lately (still at work- shocker)... really hoping no lives were lost- it looked horrific.

So tomorrow night I get the pleasure of going to Boy Scouts of America Outdoor Leadership Training. This will entail me spending roughly 24 hours camping with a bunch of grown men probable weirdos and receiving instruction on doing Boy Scout things, so that we may give instruction on same to the kids in our troop.

I am a reluctant participant in all this. While I think a lot of what the BSA emphasizes is great stuff, there is also a lot of it that I am not cool with (e.g. the religious underpinnings, anti-gay stance, etc.). But both of my step-sons are involved in the troop and there aren't enough parent volunteers. About half of the troop is made up of Chinese or Chinese-American scouts and their parents seem neither very outdoorsy nor very confident with the English language. The former Scout-master had to resign because of allegations of child molestation not related to the Boy Scouts. I actually suspect he is innocent, based on some oddities about the accusations, but clearly he can't be involved with the troop any more. So they need help and I volunteered.

Now I kind of wish I hadn't. I don't know much about camping, so I might actually learn something on this trip, but it is March in Washington and it is probably going to be rainy and wet out in the woods. And one of the other two guys from our troop that is going on this training (he is actually the new Scoutmaster) is the weirdest, Aspbergers-y MFer I have ever met. If it turns out down the line that he is a serial killer, I won't be the least bit surprised.

So this is going to be interesting. And probably tedious too.

I have a hate/hate/kind of like relationship for all of these reasons. Scouts sucks. Cal has started to complaining about it lately and I haven't been stoking the fire. I'm hoping he figure out, like he did about organize religion, how terrible it is.

Camping without booze is worse than cancer. Just ####### horrible. I'm refusing to do it. It will probably lead to my divorce but at least I won't have to sleep outside like some sort of Uni.

Do you have to dress up in a Boy Scouts costume to be involved? Man....that always makes me giggle to see grown men in Boy Scouts outfits.

Pep wears that uniform to meetings. :mellow: :oldunsure:

 
Everything in our former office is currently being auctioned off online ending soon tonight. I just bid on two things I forgot to take with me that I could have had for free. :wall:

 
lol

A 20 gallon blue recycling trashcan. Got it for $8.50, new they are about $70 and a cheap wall clock with our logo on it that I got ganked for $17.00. I'm glad I bought both though. I would have regretted forever not buying the clock. I have a collection of everything we had made with our logo on it so one day I can reminisce.
