You may have realized while reading a previous article about shade that the possibilities of things to do are endless.  But what happens when sitting and playing frisbee simply enough?

I was just returning from a spirited game of Ultimate Frisbee when I heard what this group so aptly named "The Lurrie Call".  They wanted me to photograph the numerous situations they were acting out.  Would this make a good story? I asked myself.  They convinced me that it would, and so without further ado, I present Shade Antics.

   

Here, everyone is simply making funny faces on the steps of Van Winkle Hall.  Note the excessive tongue-sticking-out-action of Dave, the nose-picking ability of Virginia, the puffed up cheeks and wide eyes of Kim, the lip-licking action of Jenna, the fish-face of Amy, and the tired Josh Katz look of Josh Katz.

Then suddenly, they all seemed to witness events happening all around them in different places.

Taking a lesson from the ancient Egyptians, the group meticously made a pyrmid (note Kim, a Staff Assistant, being the middle of the base: Staff Assistants are the foundation of the camp).

Darcy found that Josh Katz's lanyard made a fabulous leash.

And Virginia found that trees are surprisingly uncomfortable to wedge one's back into.

...but that it is more comfortable to do it to a camper.

 

 

Now it was time for some role playing, beginning with switching the roles of campers and counselors.

Head counselors apparently refusing to allow campers to switch activities.

Counselors do like to swing their keys.

And campers will often try to hide from counselors during what we can only assume was a social mixer in order to stay longer and not be forced to canteen while the music outside blares.

Make-out patrol.

Apparently Virginia lost a bet.

Along with Jenna and Amy.

Charlie's Angels.

And finally, campers (counselors playing dead).

   

If you feel as if you have wasted three minutes of your life reading a mostly pointless article, I apologize: it was a slow news day.
