REFLECTIONSI thought it appropriate to take a brief
moment to remember some of the timespast. Since weve talked
about trying to
get some of the older faces back to camp,
its made me start thinking about some of
the good times weve had celebrating
Octoberfest. My first reflection is of the old
campsite and some of our midnight romps
that often led us all astray. None more
than the year we lost Unitest and Spinner
in the swamp after a rather long andmislead midnight romp. With
the thoughts
of midnight romps, I am also remembering
a severely drunken romp in which most
everyone lost at least something in the
woods. Much to our surprise it would be
the new guy in camp who ventured out first
thing the next morning and was able to
find all of the lost materials left behind by
all the drunken participants.
John Pollack. Need I say anything more? I
honestly dont even know where to start. I
immediately think of two things.
Moonshine and Margaritas. Im sure Dan
will remember his first introduction to John,
in fact I will let him finish the story. How
about Boner and his first trip to camp? I sti
have pictures somewhere... Hmmm
Mr. Hargrave, a.k.a. Boner. Fresh off a
bad divorce and a 5 year dry spellwithout alcohol. Perhaps it
was the way
he swallowed the chew that John and I
gave him, or perhaps it was the mass
quantities of alcohol and shots we fed
him at the bar. Either way, it was a
valiant attempt to catch the poor boy
up on the years of not partaking in the
nectar of the Octoberfest Gods, and
catch him up we did! If you were thereyoud never forget the
spectacular run
Boner made for the crapper upon our
arrival back at camp. Struggling with
both urges to puke and shit, he found
himself hanging onto a small maple tree
for dear life while his pants lie
hopelessly at his ankles. Lucky for him
he has excellent friends who jumped
into action and promptly gathered all of
their cameras to photograph the
incident so he too would be able to
enjoy the incident at a later date, after
hed cleaned up a little bit.
