***Booyakasha*** · 06-12-2006, 11:37 PM

Leavin' for the summer tomorrow, on my yearly contract with the BSA to teach archery to overprivileged smelly children. Still, $255 a week, plus room and board--there's worse ways to while away eight weeks. Barring any major mishaps or horrors, I'll probably be back in mid-August some time. Take care, all.

Don't shoot yourself in the foot.

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-13-2006, 02:05 AM

Archery was the only badge I ever took at camp that I couldn't finish there. (I couldn't get the qualifying targets.)
Then I went to a professional range and got my targets done in about a half-hour. Moral of the story? BSA archery equipment is cheap garbage.

Their rifles, on the other hand, are awesome. Finished those targets by the second day.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 06-14-2006, 12:31 AM

COOL!! You get to teach them how to be Link! Hookshot lessons next? Or Boomerang lessons?

Have a fantastic time and send us a postcard!!

***Booyakasha*** · 08-11-2006, 12:35 AM

Well, that's that over and done with. I've spent well over a year of my life up at camp by now. I swear, I'd hate it if I didn't love it so much.

Oh, and BSA archery equipment may be cheap garbage, but, under my watch, at least it isn't broken garbage.

***Booyakasha*** · 06-11-2007, 11:58 PM

OH NOES DOUBEL POST

Same deal. Camp. Two months. The woods. Archery. My sexy BSA Venturing uniform. It's a man's life. The only thing different about this summer is that I'm going to build a full-scale functional ballista in my free time. If I kill anything cool with it I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

Demonicus Prime · 06-12-2007, 12:18 AM

So that's why you weren't online....Damn hippies.

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-12-2007, 12:20 AM

Party on, man. *gives 3-fingered salute*

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

***Booyakasha*** · 08-07-2007, 07:38 PM

I'm back, baby.

Bomby · 08-07-2007, 09:45 PM

Booya's back... tell a friend...

Rainbow Dash · 08-09-2007, 05:33 PM

Did you kill anything with your cool ballista?

***Booyakasha*** · 06-07-2008, 01:54 AM

RE-BUMP

Likely won't have time to post tomorrow for all the packing up I'll be doing, and then I'll be gone.

Have a good summer, everyone. Be safe--I want to see you all still alive in the fall. Remember--if you're hot and thirsty, drink out of a faucet or bubbler; do NOT drink out of a toilet, aquarium, mud puddle, gas pump, septic tank, human jugular, or lava flow. Important safety rule. Also, running through a sprinkler is a fun way to beat the heat; the same cannot be said for running through a plate glass window. Use some common sense--you're breaking your poor mother's heart.

Well, that's all. See you cats in August.

Salud!

^Not to mention breaking my poor mother's window.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Swordmaster Link · 06-07-2008, 02:02 AM

It's a good thing Archery wasn't required...or I'd never be an Eagle Scout.

Have fun, and Godspeed!

**X-3** · 06-07-2008, 08:11 AM

Have a great trip.

Though, this IS VGF: some of us may have eaten others by the time you get back.

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-07-2008, 11:04 AM

^^Well, like I explained, I eventually got it, but that was a year or two after getting Eagle.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

***Ace Mercury*** · 06-07-2008, 03:48 PM

So what sort of abilities does each badge give you? Reflect lightning? Control level 80+ pokemon?

***DJ Blue J*** · 06-07-2008, 03:52 PM

Do they let you do a Power Jump? Power Smash? Ultra Smash, even?

***CaptHayfever*** · 06-07-2008, 08:12 PM

Well, as one would expect, an Archery badge grants the power to arch.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

***Heroine of the Dragon*** · 06-08-2008, 04:37 AM

Have fun and SEND POSTCARDS!!!! *leaves you a trail of marshmallows to follow when you get back*
