Overheard at CLR

I spent this weekend in Post Falls, Idaho at the Cougar Leadership Retreat. I got invited Wednesday afternoon and left Friday morning so it all happened pretty quickly. I didn’t have any weekend plans and thought it would be a good opportunity to network. It was your typical leadership camp, not particularly useful for anything except networking, but mostly enjoyable and a good time.

And just for fun, I have some overheards from this weekend. It was very obviously a camp full of college students.

“It’s like he roofies me for my flag.” – Oh the joy of camp games.

“Have you ever been blobbed? You totally have to be blobbed.” –  The camp promised to have a blob on the water for our enjoyment. Sadly, upon our arrival, we learned it had recently popped.

“Our administration is very receptacle to students.” – This is why one shouldn’t try to use words outside one’s vocabulary.

Person 1 – “Do you guys have an odd number of balls over there?” Person 2 – “Nope, that’s just you.” – I was person No. 2 in this scenario by the way. No. 1 was the student government vice president. In retrospect, probably not the best kind of response to someone whom it would probably be useful to be on positive terms with. The conversation occurred because there was a strange game at the camp. We dubbed it carpet ball. There were two tables, but sometime during the weekend a ball went missing, thus leaving one table with an odd number.
