Newcomb's Paradox

A week and a half through camp, and it's turning out to be pretty awesome. Colin still says retarded stuff, but that's all part of the experience. To the contrary, the frequency of Jake Saltzman's retarded escapades has become disappointing. Jake, if you're reading this, come immediately to room 242 and do something retarded.

Yesterday, Seth "I go to school in my pool" Gannon gave the most incredible lecture I have ever heard in my life. This involved an in-depth discussion of mind-screwing paradoxes. As Cocoa Puffs declared, "My mind is thoroughly fucked." What made this lecture even more amazing was the fact that this had no clear application to debate - my hypothesis is that Seth got bored, and tried to fill an hour of lab time by slowly destroying our brain cells one by one. But hey, we're fine with it.

More exciting stories from our friends in suite 340 - Apparently, last night Richard Day and Will Thibeau took Adam Kostrinsky, wrapped him in two sheets, tied him up with belts, and then carried him up the stairs to level 4. There, they decided to leave him in girls' suites, knock on doors, and scream loudly. When the girls came out, they were greeted by a squirming Akoz-in-a-sack. Among those afflicted included Haley, which I think is really really funny. I'd imagine the sight before these girls' eyes looked something like this:


It's time for more random notes.
  • Andy is an Affirmative pirate.
  • I now get unlimited teddy bear hugs from Will Thibeau. This is really awesome.
  • Richard, I still can't remember.
  • Mitchell: Yes, but it wasn't voluntary.
I might just devote an entire post to pictures tomorrow. Stay tuned.
