There's Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, Texas Hold 'Em Fantasy Camp, and Baseball Fantasy Camp. You can go to Auto Racing camp, Covert Ops camp, or Rodeo Camp. All this makes me think about what kind of fantasy camp I'd like to go to...or run. A few ideas appear inside. What about you?

Hobo Fantasy Camp. Join me for a week of riding the rails. We'll learn to use both traditional freightyard methods and modern GPS tracking systems to plan our travels. Learn hobo slang, write in secret hobo language, and spend evenings around the jungle file warbling on the ol' harmonikay.

30s Gangster Fantasy Camp: Whether you're a gunman or a moll, you'll have the time of your life on our replicated Mean Streets of Chicago. Run rum, fence stolen goods, and put the bite on 'em. Drink and dance away your ill-gotten gains at the juke joint nightly.

Huck Finn Fantasy Camp: We give you the raft and pole, a 10-lb sack of cornmeal, and a side of bacon -- the rest is up to you! Explore the river as you contemplate your stand on right vs. wrong, freedom vs. bondage, fate vs. free will.

*Feud program extra.

Guilty pleasure: I'd love to go to a beauty pageant fantasy camp.

me too, JanetLand, I'd be a cinch for Miss Congeniality.

In complete seriousness, one of my dreams is to go to this Surf Camp for women. I promised this to myself as my reward for quitting smoking four years ago, and haven't delivered on the promise yet.

After experiencing the hell, both spiritually and financially, that Hellbient's Armageddeon Fantasy Camp became, I no longer can endorse the naivety of the Fantasy Camp mindset.
Didn't you people see Westworld?!

This is for us, jonmc.

When I hovered over that, JL, and saw the title "Large Beautiful Miss America Crown," I thought maybe there was a pageant for Large Beautiful Miss America. If there isn't already, I heartily endorse the idea!

I think there are a few BBW beauty pageants..yup.

According to the Rock Fantasy Camp link, the singer from Twisted Sister was someone named 'Deen Snider' and there was a Monkee named 'Jerry'. Yeah, that'd be money well spent.

A woodcarving fantasy camp would be schweet. It would have to be run by a couple of old scandinavian and a couple of old appalachian dudes though.

Hollywood Fantasy Camp might be cool... a trailer with my name on it, hair and make-up, someone yelling "Cut!"

Or a White House Fantasy Camp... see what it's like to be president (I fear for the world).

Pope Camp?

(I have too much time on my hands.)

You just want the hat.

Cube Farm Camp, where I could find out what it's like to spend eight hours a day in a ...

*looks up*

... ah.

I do love the hat. I'd also get rid of that silly celebacy thing. Kiss my "ring"? : )

(yes, I know, I'm going to hell)

I want to go to an old fashioned summer camp with swimming and horses and archery and crafts and sleeping in cabins and singing around campfires. I never got to do it as a kid.

Can you have nostalgia for something you've never done?

*kicks dirt, wanders away daydreaming*

Pimp Fantasy Camp.

see you there, Pips. We'll make it fun.

posted by Hellbient 03 August | 12:26

Don't worry, Pips. Sometimes I think I'm driving the bus to hell, so we'll all be in good company.

And I'm with Deborah. Swimming, crafts, horseback riding, campfires, etc. would be perfect! Someone else does all the cooking, but we get to make all the Smores we want!

deb and redvixen... don't forget the bug juice... bug juice rules... and jacks... I'm up to ninesies already... (I had a love/hate relationship with summercamp... sometimes I came home early I was so homesick, other times all I wanted to do was go back... I even slept on the floor at home for a while once after returning from camp I missed it so much... I was a strange kid...)

and this is for you, hellbient... we'd all make bitchin' pimps and hos, sure 'nough... too bad the vegas bunny meet-up doesn't coincide...

Not me. Good Catholic Boy. Which means I can do all the stuff I do, as long as I feel guilty about it.

Our linen closet doubles as a confessional. : )

(His mom once gave me a cross for Christmas. And I'm jewish. There were also the communion wafers at Easter... like those flying saucer candies... tasty...)

Wait...we have a linen closet?

I'm guessing your feeling guilt about living in sin, then, huh, jonmc?

What was that other post about weddings.....?

Heh, I've gone back for seconds on most of the 7 deadly sins, so I just try to feel a nice diffuse guilt like the nuns taught us.

careful with the shotguns...

I want a Tomboy Fantasy Camp, where I get to ride and train horses, climb trees, play sports and be fucking awesome at them and beat up all the boys.

What???
