I’m certain the camp printer has developed Munchausen syndrome. Â It doesn’t receive much use in the off season and while copying banquet registration forms, as soon as I left, the toner cartridge was empty. Â The next two times I left the room a spontaneous paper jam occured that on further investigation had no jammed paper and as the final display of personal inadequacy the printer “forgot” its IP address (despite having a static one). Â I look forward to future devices like flash drives with separation anxiety and laser mice with penis envy towards joysticks.

Even the mouse knows the difference
I was cleaning out one of my shelves when I stumbled upon two open Lexan bottles: one from OSR and one a legitimate Nalgene. Â On closer inspection, I found that a mouse had apparently taken to using one as a bathroom and I frowned, until I realized it was the OSR one. Â At least the mouse had good taste.

Bill's Hair, you are the weakest link
Bill Mischke is the current director of Ockanickon Scout Reservation and is both my boss and eye-blindingly bald. Â During OSHA inspections we’ve been knocked for not providing office staff with eye protection. Â Anyway, this baldness set in early such that in the 1975 staff picture Bill is seen with quite an afro. Â But sadly, the afro received another offer and left staff and Bill’s head by 1976.
CIT, megatharium, what's the difference?
I received a quotation for antlatlry department at camp and was surprised when the total cost would be under $1000 including targets. Â This of course, does not include labor but hey, that’s what CITs are for. Â Now, I’m trying to find appropriate targets and am wondering if instead of using many targets like say a foam deer, I can save money and just buy one foam mastadon. Â I know Scouting doesn’t permit shooting at animal likenesses but in this case at least the kids won’t have a gut reflex to shoot at the damn thing since it’s been extinction for 10,000 years.
