I like where that one is going. Tee hee.

I had a bright idea, i'm going to track it down and see if anyone has dedicated a site to bad party 'songs' and see if they've got the lyrics. may be back later.

Oh, lech...I get it now! Yeah, that could be fun.

Um, no, I don't think it would be a good idea to try to see if the birds and snake could make nice...the conure has a hard time making nice with other birds and humans; I am sure she would not like to make the acquaintance of the inside of a snake.

Fluffy was a wonderful pet, and was named because of the numerous small sensor hairs all over her body.
Never played Half Life 2, so I wouldn't know...but THESE any lions ony grew about an inch to an inch and a half long and lived at the bottom of cones they built in sand. Also not a very exciting pet (except at feeding time!)

Holding until you get back, Captain.

I had guinea pigs!

Okay, that's not exciting, either, but I felt I needed to contribute to the conversation.

Hey, everybody remember Olander, the Orca? I do hope he's happy in his new home. Isn't being chewed on by the family dog or dragged around by his tail fin through the mud.

Tristen:

Half life 2 Ant Lions live under the sand with cones and the like, and could sense people walking on the sand so you had to build bridges and such. They were probably Mahusive versions of the real thing, didn't know there was an actual creature called an Ant Lion, I thought they were trying to make up a clever name.

Thank you Seryn, FollowMal issued my browncoat the first or second day I was here.

Bad songs that everyone has to dance to...I was a camp counselor once (once!) for 6-10 year olds. We had a song called "Let me see your..." fill in the blank. It went like:

Let me see your Superman!
-What's that you say?
I said let me see your Superman!
-What's that you say?
I said Ooh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ooh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ooh Ahh Ahh Ahh...(strike a pose) I'm Superman!

On and on ad nauseum. My favorite was Batman. Rather than all the Ooh's and Aah's you just stood there for a moment with your arms crossed and then said "I'm Batman" in a low voice.
Kids loved it, but it drove us counselors batty...until, of course, we got to play it without the kids in the room. Then it got...interesting.

Holding until you get back, Captain.

Citizen-yes, that is exactly what ant lions are. They hide under the sand at the bottom of the cones and can feel the vibrations of anything walking near the cone. If whatever it is does not fall all the way down to the ant lion, they toss bits of sand at it until they can grab ahold of it and drag it under the sand.
Now I'm going to have to check out Half Life 2 to see the ant lions!

Holding until you get back, Captain.

the ant lions in half life two more closely resemble the bugs from Starship Troopers. they leap up out of the sand, fly over, and attack. You can eventually kill a 'queen' and take a pheramone sac, which allows you to control and direct the ant lions for a seige on an old prison.
Fun game. I loved the grav-gun.

When I was a camp counselor we played no such game...


...we did go skinny dipping in the lake at midnight on our days off.


I would like to draw and quarter the person that wrote The Chicken Dance.

Well, this was a Christian camp (I discovered that to my horror only after being there a few days) that I was sort of dragged to the summer I graduated high school. A friend asked me what I was doing the first week of summer, and my response was "oh, nothing"...she asked if I wanted to be a counselor up in the mountains of Alabama, and I said "sure"...it was fun, though. No skinny-dipping, however...

I second the drawing and quartering. I've got the axe and pitch if you've got the rope and horses.

Heh, you can't hide behind "Christian Camp" I've been around enough to know those are the worst ones. Examples:

1) Couple found in bushes doing 'it'
2) Couple found behind cabin doing the Clinton special.
3) Counselors cussing and smoking when they thought campers weren't around.
4) That Eagle Scout guy showing his 'arrow' to all the swooning girls.

And of course, my first tongue kiss was at Christian camp.

I am willing to believe this is just an Oklahoma thing since we are the home of 'Do as I say, not as I do' Christianity. The scandals! Oh my! They'd make Jade blush.
