Random Question

This Random Question feature will never work for me. I just go on too long to ever answer one of these in 400 or less characters. I mean seriously ... it's not made for people like me.

So maybe I will do it like this? My life isn't exciting enough to come up with new stuff everyday. I applaud those who do and can keep their audience captive. Yes, I'm talking about you EGE!

Today's random question ...
What would you name your ballet inspired by the sight of children leaping through a garden sprinkler?

Ballet is really not my thing. I mean don't get me wrong I enjoy The Nutcracker. It always amazes me that people can do those things with their bodies ... and be that fit. But children leaping through a sprinkler? That doesn't even make me think of ballet. It makes me think of summer and giggling ... heck, all out belly laughing. And it makes me think of laundry.

It also makes me suddenly think of Hobo Hikes and Chimney Corners Camp. I was the leader of the Hobo Hikes on nasty rainy summer days when other camp activities were suspended. I mean who wants to take riding lessons on a wet smelly horse in the pouring rain? Well besides me ... and a few other crazy people I know ... um ... no one. That's right!

What is a Hobo Hike you may ask? Well, it's putting on your old clothes and trekking through the woods and fields splashing in puddles and rolling in the mud ... (breathe) ... all the while singing silly camp songs and doing goofy things. Kind of like Follow the Leader camp style. It was a blast!

So did I totally skirt the question at hand?

Yup. Deal.
