In that warm California sun...

All work and no play is not our motto. Nosirree Bob! We here at the WTF LD concentration camp camp concentrating on LD know that if there’s nothing in a debater’s mind other than spikes, turns and random snippets of Jacques Derrida, then that is a debater who needs a life. Our staff, which is expert on the subject of needing a life, can make a difference. So this weekend we take a break from practice rounds, practicumming and baloney surprise in the cafeteria, and head out for some much needed FUN!

These are the options available to our campers:

The Jean Baudrillard Disneyland Adventure: A full day’s visit to the Disneyland parking lot (under the Grumpy sign), led by our own Craven Savage. Campers who choose this option will see the very spot the Old Baudleroo claimed was the one atom of reality in the otherwise culturally deadening theme park, and will stare at it for a few hours until it’s time to get back on the bus and go home. It will definitely be “a small world after all” for this happy group!

Howard the Duck tour of Los Angeles: A tour of all the real life locations throughout the L.A. area used in the 1986 George Lucas classic film, led by HTD scholar Jon O’Cruz. Many WTF alums call this tour the high point of their camp adventure, especially since the film was, in fact, set entirely in Cleveland.

You-Call-This-An-Hour-With-Mike-Bietz? Recording Adventure: Revisit the recording studio from which the legendary podcast was broadcast for, what, three whole episodes? See the microphones, now thickly encrusted with dust, where many a good idea was floated out into the internet tubes. Hear the sound check of those hearty do-it-yourselfers going “One, Two, Three, is anybody there? Testing?” over and over and over. See the original model of the magnificent Sam Dubious Award.

The Closed-Door Cabal (seniors only): At some point this weekend, the muckamucks of Camp WTF will be meeting in camera to decide what to do about this blog, which simply does not seem to be taking the whole business seriously enough. Seniors who select this option will be allowed to sit in as O’C leads the executive session, carefully explaining to Lord Jeesh who it is behind Coachean Life and why we just can’t send some hired assassins to the East Coast to do him in. Each attendee will receive a small bald voodoo doll souvenir, which they can torture by running cases that have nothing to do with the resolution. WTF staff members who even hint that they have found any of this funny will be summarily dismissed. Even I might give it a rest from this point, except something tells me that not too much time will pass and I’ll see another posting, and I just won’t be able to help myself…
