Let The Countdown Begin!

I had a few drinks with some folks over there last year during Barbarian Weekend. 

I think that was the same night one of my camp mates went missing and we found him asleep in the porta-john with his pants still around his ankles. There was debate over leaving him in the middle of the road or folding him into the trashcan next to the privies.  Being the rational one, after 30 minutes of myself and another camp mate standing outside the porta-john laughing hysterically, we helped him back to camp and into his tent.  There is much more to the story, but I'll sae that for him to tell sometime.

I've never been on a slip and slide...ever. I wanted my first to be that one..hell, I've never even SEEN a real slip and slide...I wanted that one to be the first one

Lmao I think I would have died from laughing so hard

Crash... I'm soooo disappointed!  I mean, you didn't even include a youtube link with that story!!!  What kind of rennie ARE you?!?      It's a well know fact that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but what happens at Faire... ends up on youtube... and that's just the risk you take if you plan on having more fun than is good for you! 

Uhhhh... mind if I ask why you were opening all the privie doors looking for him, though?  Does he make a habit of this sort of thing?  And if so... maybe I should spring for the 8g SD card before AHE this year!   


Mouse... I find it hard to believe you have never seen a slip-n-slide.  You're the parent of a small child, fer cripes sake!!!  Not only have YOU led a deprived life, but you're intent on depriving your daughter, as well?!?  I mean... sure, they really only last a week or so, and then they have to be replaced, and someone usually ends up doing a faceplant because they either miss the thing altogether, slide off the side, or do something completely stupid like overshoot the end because they thought it would be cool to lay it on a 45 degree slope and run 50 ft before diving head first onto a slippery surface, racing downhill at breakneck speed, only to tumble out into the street in front of oncoming traffic... (uhhh, yeah, just don't ask...), but still... EVERYone should get to play on a slip-n-slide at least ONCE in their life!!! 

Now, I'm not sayin' the naked slip-n-slide is no more, but I will say that I didn't actually SEE it while I was visiting Chaos last year... of course, like I said, it was pretty quiet at the time, so maybe they just hadn't broken it out, yet.  We can always hope, though...

It's kinda funny, we where sitting around the fire and he says"going to the privy" and walks off. Well, we had some people stop by camp and got to talking.  Being typical guys, it was like 2 hours before someone inquired into his whereabouts. So, one of the new camp guests and I went off in one direction and my camp mates went off in another. I started knocking on the privy doors until i heard this "hrrrruummmmpppphhhuuggghhh" reply. We manged to get to door open and there he was. This sweatheart of a girl waited there with him while I gathered a rescue party. After 30 minutes of mocking, teasing and joking about where we should leave him, the girl helped him get dressed and we got him back down to fire, warmed up, and into bed.  

It is becoming a tradition it seems, since he did something similar at Sherwood, but he was able to make it back on his own once I woke him up.

I actually have a decent phone now, so stuff is getting recorded this time, lol

[Rani Zemirah]

I would certainly hope SO!!!  LOLOL  Because, you know, if that had been ANYONE in any of the camps I hang in, it would have been on youtube THAT VERY NIGHT!!!  ROFL  Aaaaannnnd... the link would be posted frequently, and regularly, anytime said miscreant started gettin' just a little too big for their britches (which, they would be reminded, constantly, were down around their ankles on video, at one point in their lives...)!!!   

Well, ok... probably not constantly... but often enough that it would become legend, at least!

...alright, I admit. It was me. But totally worth it.

And this naked slip-n-slide of which you speak...I'll have to look for that next year. Not in a voyeuristic way (not at all, and I'm shocked you would think that!), but more for...umm... (I've got nothing...)

CHAOS is still very much still here. AHE is a big party weekend that also involves other clans/groups. Those people may have been the stay-behinds while everyone else was off visiting. Also many of us are now participants & we's tired after a long day.

Like i said... rumor mill.  Scuttlebutt changes as it goes...

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

We need RAIN, damn it!  I'm glad that the rest of the state has been getting some but Mother Nature keeps screwing around with the Houston area. Here it comes... HERE IT COMES... NEVER MIND!  I'm not asking for a turd floater but a nice gentle shower for a few hours...

[Rapier Half-Wit]

HEY! I'm not evil, I just smile that way.

Everyone keeps talking about the naked slip-n-slide like it was a good thing. The story I've heard (from an actual eye witness) is that it's just like going to a nude beach. You go there with the wild 'n rampant day dreams of a bunch of Chipndale dancers crashing a Victoria's Secret party, but the truth and reality of it is that it's more like an episode of People of Walmart at the beach.

... like an episode of People of Walmart at the beach.

I get the picture. Some of us—and my hand is up—, you just really don't want to see without clothes...

[Rani Zemirah]

Maybe you need to get out there and do a rain dance...  Ooooh!  A nekid rain dance!    Of course!!!  That's the answer...  All you kilted lads down there need to go outside tonight at midnight, toss the kilts (or, y'know, hand them to whoever is holding the camera, uhhh... lay them gently on the porch) and do a little dance for Mother Nature!  I'm sure she'd be ever so appreciative!!!    


I mean...  I know I would.    



Oh, crap... way to rain on MY parade!!!  I tried to post this right as I was leaving to take the renlet to school, and it did that little hiccup where it stalls to tell me someone else has posted, and do I want to rethink my own post... and I didn't notice it until I got back... and now you're all telling me that none of you would be in the least bit pleasing to the Goddess?!?  Surely that would be for her to decide, wouldn't it?  

So... line up.

it's more like an episode of People of Walmart at the beach.

If you are going to make comparisons like that, please provide the red hot fire poker so I can ram it through my brain.

I'm desensitized...BRING ON THE SLIDE!

Uhhh, Mouse... you DO realize, don't you, that you don't get to just stand and watch?!?  It's not a spectator sport...
