Awesome snark!

WTF with Mary Anne's cabin? Is it camp Mohawk or a teenage version of The Bachelor mansion?

Weirdly on the broken leg issue, my best friend at the time broke his leg at sixth grade camp and, for some unfathomable reason, stayed on for the last four days. Okay, so we were up in the middle of nowhere about four hours from home, but I still can't figure out what was going on there, though I get the impression that he convinced his parents to let him stay.

Too weird, especially looking back!

I guess they figured it was only four days, though I'd personally rather go home than be stuck in a bunk for that long. But she was staying at the camp all freaking summer. The heck?!

I haven't seen it in years, but I am sure there are some topless scenes in Meatballs.

Heather is an Iroquois, which means she can't swim

It is phrased weirdly. For years I thought Iroquois was a term for someone who couldn't swim, kind of like saying, "she is dyslexic, which means she can't read."

That episode of America's Next Top Model is the only other place I have heard of impetigo. When it was on I was all "That's what Stacey had!"

Yeah, WTF is up with the Iroquois comment? I don't get it. Are Iroquois all insanely bad swimmers? Because that just doesn't seem likely.

I've always assumed it was just the name for the swimming group of beginner swimmers. It's really badly-worded, though. I could be entirely wrong; it's just what I think makes the most sense. It's never clarified.

Oh, I see. Weird. I totally read that wrong as a kid.

Leaves of three, let it be. Leaves of four, eat some more!

Leaves of five, it's a parthenociccus cinquefolia.
"Does that mean we can eat it?"

It also seems kind of odd when you consider that this is all taking place IN A BOOK. Didn't AMM want to encourage kids to read? She'd be shit out of luck (and money) if they didn't.

adamant_turtle July 22 2009, 17:14:13 UTC

Yeah, I didn't think it was odd, bc a lot of women (esp back then) might want to keep their married name bc of the kids, i.e. so that it's "Little Jane Smith" at school and her mom is "Mrs. Smith." That, and the fact that if she were married a decent length of time, she may have established her career with that name, or just plain be used to it.
