I'd like to get your reactions. Whats the Name of this CD? Scout 1: Hey Walter (or other name), how are you doing? Scout 2: Fine, You know I really like Summer Camp, but I miss being in touch with music Scout 1: Yeah, I know what you mean, but the guys in my troop try to find things related to music all around us Scout 2: How do you do that? Scout 1: Well, its like at the trading post, whatever the total I always give them 5 cents more than the total so I can get a NICKELBACK Scout 2: Whoa NELLY, thats pretty good, you mean like whats the stuff you eat on a cob? Scout 1: Yeah, thats it, KORN And if your in a hurry Whats that? Scout 2: Oh easy, RUSH, I guess you could say NO DOUBT its a SIMPLE PLAN to keep music in mind at all times This is great since I am such an AUDIOSLAVE Scout 1: Yeah, this way I dont feel so TRAPT I head a kid in one of the troops is really homesick, he woke up last night screaming Scout 2: Yeah, he doesnt think anybody likes him and feels like an OUTKAST Scout 1: You know what we call the glow of the fire after the flames die down?

Scout 2: Sure I do, its 12 percent deet, they call it D-12, repells anything Scout 1: Hey you kids in the front row, quit talking and behave like scouts Scout 2: Yeah, do we have to call for an USHER to throw you out? Scout 1: Can you believe the menu? BLACK EYED PEAS three days in a row Scout 2: Yeah, thats not right, thats stupid, its outrageous, its LUDICRIS! Did you see those dumplings they made? They looked more like a LIMP BIZKIT than anything else Scout 1: Did you hear the San Antonio Spurs starters all went sailing together after the season? They got in some bad weather though and went through a series of storms Scout 2: Ok, that explains the Head line, Typhoons MAROON 5 Scout 1: I really like the Camp Director this year, he is a really nice guy Scout 2: Yeah, I know what you mean, You could say he is a PRINCE among men I hear he flies a JET in the Air National Guard Scout 1: Hey, I just got a letter from home, my mom judges show dogs as a hobby Scout 2: She does?

Scout 1: Well, the headline in Spaniels Monthly says it all, BRITTANY SPEARS Number one rank I am not sure about the E-Con Director though Scout 2: What do you mean? I really like him, he/she is a whiz at identifying edible plants Scout 1: Well, he/she might think he/she is good at identifying edible plants, but you know those wild mushrooms that were picked? Scout 2: Yeah, I think they were referred to as Houbies Scout 1: Yeah, Houbies, Scoutcraft cooked some of those Houbies, they smelled awful Scout 2: You mean? Scout 1: Thats right, the Houbies stank Scout 1: Did you hear next year they are combining the Space Exploration merit badge with Environmental Science next year Scout 2: Dont tell me, for three days you have to observe an ALIEN ANT FARM Scout 1: Well, watching ants, even alien ones wouldnt be as bad as watching bees, those things hurt when they STING, By the way, what happened to your shirt?

FScouter Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I saw a couple this year but decided to X them off the list of keepers. There was just too much social distortion and bad religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evmori Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Not bad, OGE. Our ASPL wrote one about the swimming checks. It was a hoot! The punchline dealt with the "non-swimmers" test! It was the hit of closing campfire! Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evmori Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Wow Ron! You must really want me to post it! Sure. Give me a little time for our ASPL to dig it up & I'll be more than happy to post it! Unless, of course, our ASPL says no which I don't think will happen. Ed Mori Troop 1 1 Peter 4:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txscoutdad Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I don't have one but I do have a quick story about skits. Last weekends campout our troop held a reunion for the SM's old troop in which he made Eagle. Old troop has been folded for sometime so only a few adults, SM age, and old leaders of the troop were there. One of our patrols did a skit about an indian drownng in his "Tee Pee" after drinking too much tea. Seems that one of the leaders of the old troop remembers doing this same skit when he was an 11 yo scout...50 years ago. Just shows you how some skits have been around longer than we think.

OldGreyEagle Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 Thats kewl JD, I wrote the skit to be targeted to the scouts, not the adults. I have seen enough skits that I used to do as a scout and want them to explore new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndaigler Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 OGE, It was tons of fun, I'm surprised there haven't been more old fogies (foggies?) trying their hand. two minor suggestions: If there will be adults in the audience, do you want to throw them a mental music bone or two to get their minds engaged on that level. In truth, I recognized most of the names you used, but wouldn't recognize specific music from many of the groups. . .Now, if you had been able to use Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, I would have been able to joyfully travel down that nostalgic path! Is it possible that you did such a good job of using band names that you didn't leave much thinking room for your audience? Or do you think they'll still be able to come up with new group names to continue punning along? I could rely on the oldies - though I still like to think of "oldies" as "pre-Beatles". Have Fun!!! I think the crowd will enjoy it!!! jd(This message has been edited by johndaigler) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
