Uber Instalose

During music camp one of my duties, along with my fellow kper Marcus, was to do cabin check, which just involves going through each of the campers cabins and grading them with our made up system of checks. Anyway one day as we where making our rounds we came to the senior guys cabin and they had this nice little notice on the door telling us not to bother checking there cabin, well being thorough checkers we proceeded to enter and found quite the disaster. Nothing was picked up, trash on the floor, unmade bunks, dirty bathroom all of which earned the cabin a uber instalose, the only cabin of the week to get a uber anything. The best part is when Marcus was giving the accounting of how each cabin did, before the whole camp, when he announced the seniors cabin got an uber instalose was the faces and reactions all the campers as the majority don't even know the word uber and had never heard the word instalose before it was great fun throwing in some D&D and other great geek stuff. The coolest part is I started hearing campers using instalose in sentences, new words ftw!

Another fun thing Marcus and I did, being the uber geeks we are, was naming the three drink dispensers. One had sweet tea in it all the time so we named it STEA, lame it is I know, the second one we name Randomaid, because the campers never knew what was going to come out, this one was the most popular with the campers but not the best name. The third one we named Dihydrogen Oxide, which is water for all you none geeks, which was my favorite name, gotta give props to Marcus for that one though.

That is all. Semper Fi
