Being in Jersey and just being plain ol' out of it, I am not very up-to-dated on what the haps is for camping. All I know is it's somewhere in Ventura County...a bit aways from my house. But I guess the place is kinda packed w/ amenities, but as far as I'm concerned, what makes the trip ideal is the company the trip is made WITH. One of the guys going on the trip made up this lil story about what he had in mind, and I thought it was so hilarious that it meritted me to post it up...now mind you, some people will be unfamiliar, but that's what imagination is all about...and so is this post...

"...C'mon now you guys... Whatever happened to roughing it? Isn't part of the whole idea for camping to get away from all the luxuries we take for granted so that we can appreciate it more when we do get back home. And it's only for TWO days. How much camping and clubbing can you get done in two days?

This is what I had pictured in my mind:

(wading in the ocean, dorothy and glen are having a lovers quarrell)

Dorothy: C'mon Glen! Stop being such a wuss! They're only worms...
Glen: But babe... they're all squirmy.
Dorothy: Sweetie... just put the freaking worm on the hook so we can catch some fish already. Norman can't cook without food. And where's Gideon and Dan? They were suppossed to bring us extra fishing poles...

(meanwhile in the nearby woods)
BANG!!
Vivian: Nice shot Mena! You got him in the back as he was running away.
Mena: Awww Yeah! That's LAPD training in the works. Now once we drag this bear back to camp, we can use the skin for clothing, dry the meat for jerky, and trade whatevers left over with a nearby campsite.
Vivian: But how are we gonna drag this back to the campsite by ourselves.
Mena: Shiiiit girl. Toss the sucka on my back... I got you!
Vivian: I thought Gideon and Dan were suppossed to help us...where are they?

(Back at the campsite putting their scientific and ebay knowledge to use)
Caroline: ...it passes through those pipes, and then when you turn this knob... vioala! Genuine 'andy griffith' style moonshine! Now we can play Kings.
Jonathon: Wow Caroline, I'm impressed! How'd you learn to do that?
Caroline: I guy was selling one of these on Ebay, so I traded him a purse that I sewed for it.
Jonathon: Neato! Now all we need are Gideon and Dan to bring us back some more grapes... Where are those two anyways?

(on the other side of the campsite)
Little Jay: Hey Chris! Check out these two coconuts I found.
Chris: Wow, those are huge! They're bigger than both of my...
Little Jay: Nuts! This coconut is leaking. I made a notch in each one so I can attatch both to this stick right here.
Chris: Hmmm... two balls and a stick. That kinda looks like a big...
Little Jay: Dick Cheney did this once on an episode of survivor. See, with coconuts on each side of this stick, I have dumbells to work out with, so I can get even buffer than I am now.
Chris: Geez, all this talk has got me thinking about girls and squeezing their huge, supple...

Norman: MELONS! Chris, Jay... I also need some melons! Gideon and Dan were suppossed to bring them, but that was an hour ago. And where's my coconuts.
Little Jay: Uh.... yeah... where are Gideon and Dan?

(meanwhile....)
Dan: Dayam... I'm stuffed. That really hit the spot!
Gideon: Oh hell yeah. I'm all about the Double-Double with fries ANIMAL STYLE!
Dan: You think we should have asked the others if they wanted us to bring em back something?
Gideon: Nah.. they're too busy 'roughing' it. They think they're on little house on the praire or something.
Dan: Should we start heading back to the campsite?
Gideon: I say we hit up that club here in town.
Dan: Dude... I'm too stuffed to go clubbing.
Gideon: I'm not talking about that kind of clubbing. I'm talking about that kind. (pointing to a sign that reads "LIVE NUDES")

-the end"
(thanks Gideon)
