It's Official -Which Camp Counselor Persona Should I Adopt?

[nbcrusader]

This afternoon, I leave for Winter Camp. I will be a counselor to third and fourth grade boys. What persona should I adopt?

Bill Murray in Meatballs:

R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket:

 

[JessicaAnn]

Meatballs ...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[verte76]

Definitely Bill Murray.

 

[Mullen-Girl]

none of the above...

it's all about ernest, baby

What's up Vern?

 

[Cleasai]

3rd and 4th Grade boys? Yikes Goodluck... you're gonna need it heh.

 

[zoney!]

I encourage all to "be yourself"

*hides under a bunk in fear*

 

[Cleasai]

*smirk* I saw what Zoney wrote before he changed it neener neener neener. This all reminds me though when I was a camp counselor when I was 15/16. One week the place was filled with pre-teen girls bouncing all over the place. Never heard so much squealing in my life. That's alright though, because the next they left and a new group of teens my age arrived. Mostly girls too

 

[zoney!]

^ yeah....it ain't like the old days where I wouldn't feel bad posting something a little more "racey"

 

[JessicaAnn]

:nostalgia:

 

[Salome]

[Bit ain't like the old days [/B]

yeah, summer 2000
where did you go?

 

[Screaming Flower]

goodnight ladies!

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

full metal jacket.
scare the hell out of them.

 

[martha]

Third and fourth boys are fun. Exhausting, but fun.

 

[fah]

Bill Murray, even thought I can't remember anything about the movie Meatballs.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

just don't take on your catholic priest persona...

ba dum dum

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Bill Murray is funnier.

Funny is good.

 

[nbcrusader]

I went funny.

But three of the boys could have used a Lee Ermey treatment - only the best jaded attitudes that Newport Beach's wealthiest could produce.

 

[Salome]

3 is not a bad score though

 

[nbcrusader]

It was 3 out of 7 - just the kids in my cabin.

I would rather work with the "outcast" or "shy" kids - the ones who have some fear or trepidation about being away from home for the weekend. I think those boys (the other 4) had a good time despite the 3 obnoxious ones.
