So a few of my friends just went on a 9 day camping trip

[Barmacral]

A big canoe trip where they are hauling their way through the park, with a 2k portage today (plus several shorter ones). They've been planning and packing for the trip for months to make sure they have every detail covered, every contingency they might need figured out.

 

Well they forgot their tent and camp stove, so I hope it doesn't rain on them.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

hopefully they've been watching dual survival. or at least survivorman. and brought their lighters.

[Barmacral]

Just checked the weather reports, thundershowers all day today and tomorrow. The only thing that they are letting drive them off the lake? Lightning. Poor saps.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i do not understand why humans reject shelter, electricity and indoor plumbing and choose, instead, to "camp." australopithecus afarensis would have gone for the indoor plumbing. camping is like spitting on the graves outhouses of our ancestors.

 

edit to make less offensive to the minions of the dark.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

erm... figuratively speaking.

[ed2funy]

Well they forgot their tent and camp stove

 

How're they gonna react when they find it at your place?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

oh, dear. i think i've gone too far for barm. that's not good.

[Barmacral]

Nothing out of the ordinary, I'm sure, since they are the ones that left them here.

 

And Cindy, camping is awesome. I would never want to forsake modern conveniences permenantly, but to do it for a week or a weekend a few times a year is an absolute blast. If you pick the right places it is a really nice chance to enjoy nature without cars spoiling the effect.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i know it is exciting for you to find new trees to mark, and as a canadian, doubly so.

 

but the lord gave us houses for a reason.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

also, there are places to live without very many cars, and with all sorts of trees and nature. so if that's what you like, you should live in a place like that, and enjoy the indoor plumbing.

[Barmacral]

Hardly a viable option at this stage in life. Plus, its nice to get away from plumbing sometimes. Need to shower? Go for a swim.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

good lord. that's madness canadian.

Drat....

[eclipse0]

You don't need plumbing or electricity to enjoy life. People did it for thousands of years.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

they got by. but until they had a hot shower and a flush toilet, there was no enjoyment, except in parts of canada.

[eclipse0]

You know, in the world of Randland, I haven't noticed any showers or toilets, and it seems like folks still know how to have a good time

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

um... the world of randland is actually fiction. and everyone is having a crappy time except maybe mat, and he's probably faking it. cause he has to camp.

 

but any one of them would prefer to sleep in a real bed adn have a nice hot bath. the boys probably don't care as much about the toilets.

Fact: There are 399 bath scenes in WoT

Part of why it needs to be translated into film!

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

awwwww.... all it takes is a LOLcat to totally turn my mood around.

 

that's the real advantage to bipolary. that frown can turn upside down faster than the speed of light.

[eclipse0]

Speed of lolcat, faster than the speed of frown since 1994

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

2006. but it seems longer, because they melt themselves into your brain.

[eclipse0]

2006...

 

That can't be right
