Mancamp....HO!!!!!!!

In preparation for man camp, I spent some time at Bass Pro Shop today buying gear. Man, that place doesn't hold a candle to Cabella's. I thought it was supposed to be the end all, be all sportsman shop.....but it's not all that. For one, the place was tiny....maybe a third or a fourth the size of Cabella's. Also, no live animals? Lame! So, anyway, I stocked up on stuff so I won't be as miserable as the last time I went. Last time it poured rain and I wasn't prepared....I got soaked. I bought some waterproof overalls and jacket. They are so warm I probably won't have to layer much underneath if it's cold. I also bought some ski masks and gloves....I'm set. It'll be my luck that we get there and it's 60 degrees and sunny. Oh well, I know I will have a use for this stuff for years to come. It's bound to be cold at mancamp some year.

The Bass Pro Shops in Springfield are supposed to be nice, I've never been there myself.

Last time Elwess went to mancamp he ended up wearing shoes that belonged to a teenage girl to a china buffet in Chillicothe. I would certainly hope that you would be better prepared than that this time.

I don't have to worry about staying warm and dry in my nice, big, WARM and DRY BED. With the heat cranked up. Have fun, boys.

Hey Heather...What happens at Mancamp stays at Mancamp. I'm sure you will have better stories because there won't be ANY stories from Mancamp.

That's fine, we will play by those rules and not tell any girlcamp stories & lock the video in a fireproof vault.

Heather, we will not be videotaping for the safety of anyone that is unclothed. We'll just keep the bruises to show for it.

` A...ha.... By the way, I really don't understand Mancamp at all. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.
` Girlcamp only sounds fun if there are a few Classical Greek men involved....
` Hmmm. That gives me an idea: Perhaps, I'll invent something called Quinefest!
` Hee hee hee.

Quine you already talked about Greek orgys, so what else is there, puke?
Mancamp sounds totally stupid and I'm sure somewhere in its history they tried to invite a female and she probably kicked them in the balls and that was the birth of Man(we'restupidfuckers)camp.

T - 24:00 hrs to Mancamp embarkation. Staging area is prepared, supplies are gathered, equipment is tested (for the most part), and the pilots are ready.

The weather command predicts no problems for the launch. They say we should have smooth sailing for the duration of our trip.

Flight director has instructed CapCom that we are GO for staging.

Sounded pretty miserable to me. But, then again, I'm a girl, so my opinion doesn't count. Good thing they didn't eat Jason, since it sounds like he kept getting up in the middle of the night to keep the damn fire going so everyone didn't freeze to death!!

I, on the other hand, had a good weekend. Finally got a working mp3 player, hung out at favorite coffee shop, and washed my car Sunday when it was briefly georgous. Yes, my Neon is all pimped out now.

Jade, you should talk to Jason about who's idea it was to be cold. Maybe it was they guy who decided to sleep ON TOP of his sleeping bad laying on the GROUND with all of his CLOTHES ON relying on a fire, for which we didn't have nearly enough wood, to keep warm....

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
