Heard at the First DU Campout...

[cherokeeprogressive]

Hey guys! Glad everyone could make it! We've got a pretty large area to spread out in so let's put the You Know Who's over there, the You Know What's over there, and Everyone Else way over there...

What a beautiful place... whose idea was this anyway?

Oh hell, I don't know, I'm just glad to be here. I've ALWAYS wanted to spend the weekend with My Fellow DUers

(Group AWWWWW and 147 pats on the back)

Who wants a cold one!? (cacophony ensues)

What the fuck... American beer? You KNOW that's like having sex in a canoe, right?

(Cacophony ensues for ten minutes, no consensus is reached)

How does everyone want their steak cooked?

Everyone? That's some assumption you're making there, cowboy...

(Cacophony ensues, consensus is both grilled meats and grilled or steamed veggies will be served)

Having dinner with Fellow DUers, how fucking cool is this?

(Group AWWWWW and 213 pats on the back)

Dinner over

Hey I'll get the fire started

Do we really want to put all that filth into the atmosphere?

This is a camping trip. You're supposed to have a fire!

(Cacophony ensues, consensus is the campground probably displaced a lot of native life and a fire is not necessarily welcome, but is lit anyway)

Damn, do you FUCKING HATE the Bush Crime Family, or what?

(Group YES! and 184 pats on the back)

Hey, who's got the bong?

You know, they really need to legalize this shit... (sound of bubbling bong) 'ere...

I don't really think they should completely legalize drugs...

They need to legalize FUCKING ALL OF IT

(Cacophony ensues, no consensus is reached)

Much later, around a dying campfire

Hey, you DO realize there's an election right? You DO realize that what you're saying is harming the party, right?

So have I LOST the ability to complain about things I don't think are happening fast enough?

(thunderous argument ensues, much fingerpointing follows, some DU'ers go to their respective tents and go to bed)

Wow, it sure got quiet all the sudden

Yeah, but look at all those stars...

(whisper) Good Night Everyone

Cue camping music from old time cartoon behind a beautiful sunrise

Breakfast is ready!

Hey everyone, I have to say this... I know I got a little out of hand last night, and I am truly sorry. I said some things I didn't mean to say and I hope you'll all understand my motivation, as well as forgive me...

(Group AWWWWW and 23 pats on the back)

Who wants to go fishing!?

Fishing!? How fucking cruel is that?

(Cacophony ensues, no consensus is reached, and some DUers go fishing)
------

And that's just the FIRST night. Could you imagine 3 or 4 days? LOL. I know I left some things out, but that's the mental image I get when I imagine myself camping with my DU Friends. How much fun would that be? TONS!

1. Imagine it as an 8-day camping trip, and a Jewish boy born day 1

and the Bris invitation was given to everyone in the community, as is proper.

3. And the Mohel brought leftover Olive Garden as his part in the Pot Luck... Hoo Boy! n/t

2. Arrival +10 minutes...

.

.
.
.
.
.
.
...the very first (and possibly only) unanimous consensus is reached: that MiddleFingerMom's
self-deprecatory jokes about his terrible terrible if-there's-such-a-thing-as-sinful-this-is-IT
gas may very well have been self-deprecatory... but they were certainly not jokes.
.
The second consensus was reached when they thought he had misspoken and had meant
to call them self-defecatory.
.
The one abstention was MiddleFingerMom himself -- who had been banished and forced to
set up his tent in exile on the Interstate median.

4. That sounds like fun

although we would never agree on where to go camping in the first place.
