No, how to kiss dudes, etc. is not a part of Boy Scouts.

How to…

  1. do a two-person arm carry (both styles).
  2. use a boot/shoe as an arm brace, since it is approximately the same length as your forearm.
  3. love 50 mile bike rides through Wisconsin
  4. understand the fact that you cannot ride a bike head-first into a ditch, and not crash
    • Mistakes are made.

  5. measure objects to a decent degree of accuracy, since a fingertip is approximately one inch.
  6. build many types of campfires, with three main ones:
    • Teepee Fire

    • Lean-to Fire

    • Log Cabin Fire

  7. throw knives and hatchets
  8. shoot a compound bow and arrow
  9. shoot a variety of guns
  10. perfectly place molten lead into a piece of pinewood for both maximum acceleration and maximum top-speed
    • So much excitement playing with our wood.

  11. cook practically anything with a fire, with or without aluminum foil
  12. do CPR
  13. “Nope, I did” (inside joke)
  14. sell massive amounts of delicious popcorn to strangers and family alike
    • Really? This picture was taken?

Cub scout Collin Good, 9, of Sycamore, was this year's top popcorn seller.
  15. dominate at capture the flag (and would still like to play if there is anyone interested; we can play kickball afterward!)
  16. understand the importance of Mag LIghts as your best friend
  17. understand the importance of pocketknives as your best friend
  18. realize camping is sweet, both summer and winter
  19. recognize that the kid with his mother as a troop leader was weird… and…
  20. love the fact that my mother was a troop leader.

There we have it. 20 things. This is one of the things I did during my 62 hour no-sleep binge. Not bad.

It's interesting to see just how permeant memory has become in our everyday lives. It's like everytime I turn my head, I see something with a card slot or USB port, lol. I guess it makes sense though, considering how cheap memory has become as of late...

Ahhh... who am I to complain. I can't get by a day without my R4 / R4i!
