I've got billions, but at this moment, I'm drawing a blank except for This one.

*grins* "Take a buddy" =)

You know, I can so see one of my old camp counselors saying something like this. We used to drive them nuts.

I loved this part:

"I was so frazzled and busy that I assigned two girls on 'Suicide Watch' though I didn't tell them that's why I did it. I was just like "Hang out with her, she's lonely and needs some friends." And they took her under their wing and pretended to psychoanalyze her. Ah, eleven year olds.

LOL! I can picture them huddled together doing their analysis. *snerk*

Thanks for story! =)

LOL! How can you not noticed pea filled ice cream? The lumps, man. That is so funny.

I think the worse thing we ever threw at someone was jello. (We weren't hero material)

My favorite is the wombat story. I definitely think I'm going to be using this. *snicker*

Thanks for the stories. You gave me inspiration and a laugh! =)

What was the question again? OHyeah. Camp.

While I never had the pleasure of visiting summer camp when I was a kid, A couple years ago I did accompany a group of Brownies on a weekend trip to the wilds. And there were spiders *everywhere*. Thousands of Daddy Longleg spiders on everything, including the latrines. Eight 7-9 year old girls + thousands of huge, leggy spiders? FUN!!

Besides the usual pissing-on-the-campfire tales, I'm sure there are funny stories I can relay from climb camps in the mts, but none come to mind at the moment - I'll think on it.

Spiders are a great idea! I can picture Lex's enthusiasm for his spider killing duties. *snicker*

Thanks! =)

I can e-mail you the full tale of how my period started at Girl Scout camp if you want. Funny in a "it'd be traumatic if I couldn't laugh about it" way.

I'm afraid I had a very boring camp experience. One of the girls in my tent cried and had to go home because she missed her parents. The counsellors took all of our food away because they were afraid we'd be attacked by racoons. I didn't want to get up and walk away from the tent to use the bathroom in the night, so I was miserable. The mosquito netting made me nervous. And we tried to make our own brooms out of sticks and leaves.

Ooh. I remember more than I thought!

See this is perfect! Can't you just see an 18 year old Lex getting stoned then taking away his camper's snacks when he get the munchies? Raccoons are a perfect excuse for him to use. Clark would not be happy.

I like the idea of mosquito netting too... I wonder how I can work it in.

Thanks for the stories! =)

*cracks up*

I can see him getting on his cellphone and ordering in truckloads of junkfood for himself, definitely. Pizza. Silly Lex.
