Joe Naylor was in Totem whining about Scout socks when Mike Kramer stated the following:

Mike: You’re probably looking for sympathy from me; you will find none here.   But I will tell you where you can.  It’s in the dictionary, between “shit” and “syphilis”.

Well played Mr. Kramer, well played.

I just received an email from a “Chrisitna Nurikar”. Normally when I respond, I put the recipients name in. But I’m not sure if it’s actually Chrisitna or a misspelling of Christina as the last name “Nurikar” points to some where East of the Caucasus and therefore a DMZ for name spellings.

I could respond with Chrisitna, whereas I would be seen as a dick, or possibly accurate or possibly an idiot as he or she may not know their own name was incorrectly spelled. Gha….

Update:  I read the rest of the email in detail and found the words “neblizer” instead of “nebulizer” and “slee apna” instead of “sleep apnea”.  I think she just can’t spell.

I couldn’t think of anything interested that had happened during the OA weekend but slowly a repressed memory returned.  I had to double check with Chris Fosmire that it had actually happened as the incident was almost somnogogic.

I was in Totem Lodge, the main social building in camp and asked Chris Fosmire when I had gotten Vigil Honor, a level of recognition in the OA and he responded late August of 2001.  Mr. Williams, a crazy machinist who’s been in the OA since the dawn of Treasure Island that perpetually wears safety glasses thought for a moment a looked at me and said: It all makes sense.

Me: What does?
Him: You got Vigil in August and four weeks later, 9/11.

Joe Naylor brought up the idea of using inflatable sumo suits at camp as an activity.  They’re a mere 3G’s for the suits and the safety mat.  Gha.

Anthony Celona is Assistant Program Director for 2008 and he doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the administration. It’s not that he has a non-sequential learning curve or that he has a fro that Schindler could have used but he has no dunlop. If you’re not familiar, the dunlop is a growth that occurs when one has dunlop’s disease, where one’s gut dun lop over one’s belt.

Rob Scafidi had the genius idea of manufacturing a prosthetic dunlop to aid the dunlopically deficient. I look forward to Anthony getting fired “That’s it Cenola! You’ve fucked up for the last time. Turn in your keys, radio and dunlop and get the hell out of my office.”

I had an idea for a banner in front of the Science Center.

“OSR Science: The only place in Scouting you can talk about torquing Uranus without violating youth protection”

-Ed.  with should be without, fixed.

I’ve always been a bit of a font snob, and today it hit home.  I’ve been working with a SPL who wants his troop to do some special activity while at camp.  I’ve explained the safety concerns and he started whining.  I could have met his requests, bent the rules and so on, but opted against it.  Every message he sent me was in size 16 comic sans.   I don’t think I’d trust a person who writes like that with my camp’s mountain bikes.
