GGarrett Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) ...and no yellow water that tastes like mineral water with ALL the minerals (including dirt) in it... and no bats under the stands in the gymnasium... and big mutant bugs the size of golf balls flying around at night... and some crazy football team that shows up for practice at o6oo and parades their way through the gymnasium even before Scott can walk through and do his "soft part of the William Tell Overture" wake up whistling... and some weird looking fungus laden floor of the locker room where you do get to take cold showers... and toilets with no stalls around them or doors missing so everyone can look in on you and say things like: "hey, what's going on?" or "Hey how ya doin'?" ... etc etc... and so on and so forth...

Oh sure, we always heard stories about the Dev's or Santa Clara staying in posh surroundings. Nope, not us, that kind of stuff just made you soft! No sir, when we were in the South, there was nothing as sweet as Roach Hotel High for the Men of Madison where you literally got carried off to a new location in the middle of the night and where you almost drowned in you own sweat by morning. Yes sir, wouldn't trade the experience for anything!.........and if I could, I'd do it again tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
