Ok, so I was thinking last season and I have one memory that keeps popping into my head and makes me laugh EVERY time...

Monte and I (and ONLY Monte and I) are up starting breakfast and there's some poor schmuck stumbling around in camp near Rapiers tent.  Dude starts to wretch in the middle of camp and suddenly you hear Rapier yell from his tent "DUDE, FIND A TRASHCAN!!!".  Rapier promptly rolls over and goes back to sleep, and Monte and I damn near die laughing!

Some guy wandered into our camp, started chatting with us. Obviously drunk beyond all reason. He then proceeded to yell at our lantern, "You think you're better than me...with your ability to conduct electricity into a luminescence, with your filaments and light giving properties" which he then proceeded to kick , stomp, and break said lantern....Funny because it wasn't my lantern, funny also because it was so sad

OR

A friend of mine had about 3/4 of a bottle of peppermint schnapps...well, it being early in the season, said group was unsure about fires, as they had been told by a security guard to cease and desist of a pit before, so they had a Coleman set up dead center. Peppermint Red, as I will call him, is sitting on a cooler in the circle when he suddenly yells out, "OH NO! The lantern is falling!" and proceeds to reach out and grab it by the lantern to halt it from tipping over...(he was falling, not the lantern mind you)....the sound of sizzling flesh on the glass globe and he sits there....and sits there..finally he yells JESUS! and jumps back....Funny because he's fine and his fingerprints are SEARED into that globe, loops, whirls and all.

Close enough for government work and you definitly got the spirit of the moment. What I actually yelled was "DUDE!! TRASHCAN!!" I didn't want to confuse the poor idiot with too many words. It was a brand new tent, and the last thing I wanted was to throw away my tent because some newbie can't hold his liquor.

I'll have to root around in my brain to find a good one from last year.

I remember Monte's killer lamp post...

A pair of younger campers were cutting through our camp, last AHE, right before breakfast.  It looked kind a like the had be up all night watching the "pretty colors" and weren't really paying attention to where they were walking.  The first one, at the last second, noticed Martin's cast iron lamp post and managed to duck aside from it's projecting arm but his buddy wasn't so lucky.  Ahhh, the dangers of cell phones... he walked right into it at full speed and laid himself out flat, broke his cell, and smashed his nose pretty good.  

I know it's mean but i just about died laughing...  :D

So...would Irony be when someone falls on you and cuts you?

Remember Valt & the First Aid!?   "Can you move your fingertip?"  I asked. "Yes..."  from a pale looking Valt.  "Well, you can still take pictures... Get up and lets get going"

I just want to let you know the old trigger finger has been working fine...  A twinge now and then if I poke at where the scar tissue from that cut is.  And that same day I was trying to use my middle finger to take pictures but kept forgetting and reverting back to the index finger which promptly reminded me to not use it.  I'm a little safer with my pocket knife now, and will bring some wire cutters for those damn zip ties this time...

Valt from the pics I've seen you posting on FB I'd say your trigger finger is no worse for the wear and you have been 'suffering' for your art lol.  ;)

"Suffering"? Is that what you would call taking pictures? Because the ones I have seen only make me curious about the ones that aren't public.
