Camping Shmamping

A long time ago, some pioneers and a dude in a beard decided “this is the place” and pushed their covered wagons on their side to claim the land of Salt Lake City for the Mormon settlers. For all I know it could have been 25 years ago or maybe the 1800s; what I know for sure is that I’m no historian and I’m way too lazy to look it up on wikipedia. Anyway, Salt Lake City and associated LDS folk designate celebrate July 24th as Pioneer Day. I’ll be spending this time getting back to my pioneer roots as many do, by camping. I’ll remember their hardships by sleeping in a tent Buckingham bought off amazon.com and napping in this kick ass hammock I got a Kirkams. Look ma, I’m a pioneer!

And now that you’re up to speed:

b9n: Jim Gaffigan about camping

jantzie: I don’t know about this whole thing
jantzie: I think I might like the idea of camping more than the actual camping part
jantzie: you know, like an eddie bauer commercial
b9n: there aren’t any kids in those commercials
jantzie: that’s because they’ve been eaten by bears
b9n: or mosquitos
jantzie: besides, no rich people have kids
b9n: hehe
jantzie: they know better
b9n: or they had kids, and now they aren’t rich
jantzie: right
jantzie: or they pay someone to feed them while they’re camping
jantzie: sometimes they let the faucet drip
jantzie: but someone has to refill the bowl of m&ms once in a while
jantzie: or the kids will call the police, and rich people don’t like that

So if you don’t see me back online by August 2nd, I’ve been eaten by bears. Or mosquitoes. Or children. Or all of the above. Send your flowers via proflowers.com, won’t you?
