Troop 380 had Troop Leadership Training and the Scoutmaster Josh Reass didn’t show surprising no one. The kids were a bit slow at first so I busted out the big guns: The Bugaloo song. Nothing, these kids were dead. Skip Davenport and Mike Shavel gave me a bit of an odd look as I screamed “would you like to scratch your balls!” The kids became a bit less death-enwrapped during the afternoon when we did training training. The kids quickly picked up the elements of avoiding gunfire but ran into trouble rolling over tables without exposing their head and confirming their positive outlook by yelling “I will survive” before starting to serpentine across an open field. They were getting a bit tired and I had to stop after teaching them to duck-and-dash to avoid sniper fire in case of a public shooting.  Training was downhill from here as they got restless so by the end of the day I trusted the kids neither in the troop room nor in a firefight. Completely worthless.

Don't quite your day job, which you don't have
Jason Shavel played Anthony Celona in Jeopardy. I started blurting out answers but Jason turned out to be far faster at dinging in so I started shifting up my tactic to even the playing field. I interspersed false answers with faulty logic and convinced the two of the following
- I Love Lucy debutted in the 1920s, almost 20 years before the television was invented
- Ronald Reagan had both George W and George HW Bush as vice presidents
- Ronald Reagan ran as vice president to the Bull-Moose progressive Teddy Roosavelt
- The main product of cows used by farmers is semen
- A one lens pair of glasses is called a unicle while a one wheeled bike is a monocycle
- Scotch is a alcohol that begins with the letter ‘M’
