Tommmmy seems irritable...

OK, ladies,

We are mere weeks away from collectively growing a pair and returning to the wilderness. Put away your pink parasols and David Beckham Brand facial moisturizing balm and get involved. We need to put the last details together - figure out who is coming up when and who needs a ride, who is bringing what, who needs what, when and who are doing the shopping, etc
Here is what you need to do:

RESPOND!!

email, phone, or comment to the blog

If you can get to the campsite on Thursday please let me know so we can decide where to meet up and try to save a little on gas. If you are not coming up on Thursday, you should also let me know. If you have a decent chair or two, you should bring them or make some other arrangements or you will end up sitting on one f the old cruddy ones with no armrests even if you are uncomfortable. So there.

My guess is that early Thursday, Kevin, PaulB, PaulH and Tommmmy will be getting to the site and setting up and getting tanked. Thursday evening Curtis will show. Friday after work, Nathan, Steve, John and Trevor will all arrive separately because they are not awesome. Tommy will abuse his whiffle bat privileges. Prove me wrong.

Sorry to interrupt serious conversation but in honor of Batman...

Let's get our arses in gear, gents

Choads.  There seems to be a lack of discussion outside of a few core people on the site.  We need to ramp it up.  Camping 2008 (or C-Day) is very fast approaching.  So fast, it can be measured in weeks or days, not months.  So what do we need to do?

- Inventory.  Sucks but we need to take care of it.  Harpoguy and Sixofrock have stepped forward to do the Lion's share, but we all have individual beeswax that must be accounted for.  Let's be organised and let's be smart.  Remember, the cabins have made us soft.  There's a lot of bullshit we forgot about dealing with.  

- Fleet name.  Both for the individual boats and for the fleet.  Pull some of that creativity that's just curdling in your asses out and let's do this right.  Otherwise we default to the S.S. Breakfast Pizza and the H.M.S. T-Nice's Bleached Anus.  And no one wants either of those.

- Odds n' Ends.  For instance, Harpoguy and I were talking tonight about the imminent lack of tables since we're going commando out there.  This is one example of something that must be thought of and dealt with.

- Individual efforts.  Bring something to the table for all of us.  We all will; we all do.  Let's keep it that way.

The last thing I want to say is, yes I wrote this late and Yes I've had some bourbon, but that's all good.  And do you know why?  Because camping is going to be awesome this year.  How awesome?  This awesome:

So the Colossus IV Class Rural Amphibious Assault Vehicle has been delivered. Way to go Amazon Free Shipping! Now our collective partial attentions should refocus onto other elements of proper camping preparedness. The two absolute necessities are shovel and keg. As you may recall, the Korean Conflict-era poop-scoopin' beauty is no longer viable. The handle snapped during a futile simulation of a certain unsavory act, the details of which I will not mention, but to say that I am assured Trevor has received medical treatment and is again "open for business." So, in short, we need a new camping shovel. Our triumphant return to tenting requires digging abilities. As to the keg, you know you want it. So someone needs to call around the East Tawas, Oscrotum area and find out where kegs are available, how much they cost,what kinds they have, what do they need to hold one, do they have taps, etc. If you have any brand/type preference, weigh in on this.
And Happy Independence Day!
