As a pilot who was on Sara's team this past week, I can elaborate on how crazy we were. It started when we were hanging out with Kim for the Apollo 15 thing, and we wanted to see the inside of the Intrepid simulator. She took us to the training center floor, and got a tech to open it up for us. We had a great time messing around in there. We then went to hydroponics about 20 minutes early, and it was just us 5 and Kim. We started talking to Kim about Billy, and she was telling us how weird he is, and then we went into the cabinent and got the little alien head hose thingys and stuck them over our heads. We went into the lecture staff office and waited for Jeremy and the rest of the team to come in, ran out screaming "FBI! PUT DOWN THE DRUGS!"

Later on, we started yelling "What time is it?" "T-TIME!" (the t is for Tsiokosky- some one help me with the spelling)

And eventually, we came up with a little song, inspired by Sara's repitition of the phrase "This one time, at Space Camp..."


And we scared some grey shirts.
And pissed off some counslors.


And somehow we ended up having a group therapy session the next night, which consisted of us all yelling and saying bad things and ended up with a grey shirt having to come in and saying "Lets all just act like we're all happy!".

My, what an interesting week this was.

You guys are crazy. Jason spent the entire week laughing at us. No joke. And when Alexis was doing our Russian Space History lecture the guys on our team scared him. When he would shut the light off they would yell bad things out. Then one of them asked Alexis what happens at his house when the lights go out. He did not want to shut the lights out. And then when von Braun joined us for the solar system lecture they thought we were crazy.

Yes, I am afraid the group therapy session reminded me of Jerry Springer and Oprah. I was waiting for someone to throw a chair at someone else. I eventually just left after that one girl really really pissed me off and Jeremy ran after me and stopped me and found a supervisor. Lol, then I refused to go back in.

Oh and Dan you left the part out where our team caused a riot at lunch and where we disrupted Arlisa's team and caused extremme Chaos...

We had Andy Dykes for our solar system lecture... and he was really funny.. And one of the girls in my group, Kelsey, thought Uranus was the most hilarious thing in the world... and she kept asking Andy what the atmosphere was, and he kept trying to answer seriously... SO finally, she's like, It's full of methane. And she was cracking up through the entire Uranus lecture... Especially cuz Andy pronounced Uranus about four or five different ways... I think the Academy kids (Andy's group had to come with him to our lecture), didn't understand the joke... Either that, or they didn't care... Most of them were sleeping on the floor...

Mess up

Post by ApolloXI »

Uranus is a Greek word but in American English we have messed it up. You don't pronouce it like the body part. I suffer from having a father who knows some Greek so I am kind of forced to say it right.

How is Uranus supposed to be pronounced??? Spell it phonetically... And someone should tell Andy to read this, because he changed the pronounciation of it every time he said the word...

Right right, where the Camp/Mach 1 kids tried to yell something out and no one understood it except them, and they thought it was hilarious....and so we got Max to stand up and yell "WHAT TIME IS IT?!?" and we, of course, answered back "T-TIME!" and then the Oberth team started their ripoff repeating chant ("Oberth! Oberth! Oberth!") and then we started chanting back at them ("T-TIME! T-TIME! T-TIME!") and then Jason made us shut up cause the owner of Space Camp or somebody high up like that was in the Cafeteria and Jason was worried he'd lose his job.


Hehe. Space Camp is fun.

It's interesting. At the beginning of this thread only a few months ago, you knew nothin' about Billy. Now you can't stand to see him go. I, on the other hand, still don't know who he is. You go to camp waaaayyy to often, Sara.

i was in that week with the 90 people from the carolinas. everyone hated our group. it was the worst week for workers. just ask, everyones like yup, week 47 or something like that. anyhoo, billy was there and got really pissed cause the group would fall asleep during briefings and would be like this sucks and stuff. first you can't fall asleep in the hydroponics lab, it just isn't possible without getting caught. i mean, other rooms, yeah, but not the lab. second, you don't do that stuff with billy. he was a friendly grandpa gone bad. he would get mad within a second of being all whoohooo SRBS!!!!....lol...anyhoo, night all, ive got school tomorrow!

sara, i know you and i were there the same week last summer, different teams. but when you are talking about oberth's chant, was that the same week? hey, and if we appear at camp at the same time, wouldn't it be fun to attempt to both get on arlisa's team. that would be a blast! though i did feel badly when you made her cry! bad sara! lol...boost made someone cry that same day too! (okay, so if youve never been to camp, it isn't as emotional as im making it. though i got extremely frustrated and began to cry when i crashed that stupid similator a billion times. then arlisa saw me and i was like crap. lol)...anyhoo, have to go to chem! hasta luego!
