Heads22 Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Just got back from Hawkeye Boys State... http://www.iowaboysstate.org/ It's when 700 guys get together and form a mock government at Camp Dodge, the big military base north of Des Moines. Made like 30 new friends. The guy that was elected as governor ended up pissing off a lot of people that voted for him. It got bad enough that a mob of 40 kids went to his barracks to kidnap him. It got bad enough that MP's were patrolling the place in a much bigger fashion than before. People got duct taped to telephone poles. But it was a ton of fun.

Heads22 Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 And My God, it rained another 3-4 inches while I was gone and the town flooded AGAIN. This is the worst it's been in a long time. It's not like damage or anything, but the four lane through town gets flooded across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you said it was a mock government, you neglected to specify it included mock revolt and anarchy. Cool. Welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 That would be some real fun. I'd be such a big conspirator, and liar. Glad you had fun, it sounds like a unique experiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
