I just got back from giving my brother supplies for his all-nighter outside of Best Buy while he waits for the Wii's grand opening. It's about 40 degrees here, so I brought him some hot coffee, a blanket, and a chair. I was surprised that people were waiting outside all night. There were about 30 or so out there. Some of them even brought tents. I decided to stay for a bit and observed some funny stuff.
A club shares the same parking lot as Best Buy and everyone was leaving around 2 in the morning. Lots of bass thumping, rims, bouncing cars, drunk fools, etc. Every minute or so some person would stop and ask what everyone was camping for. When they learned it was for Nintendo they drove off laughing, which in turn made me laugh. For a good 30 or 40 minutes people kept asking and laughing. I hope they don't think that we're the only ones who all act the same. Maybe we should've put up a sign.
Then some car full of other idiot nerds drove by holding a Wii box out of their windows. They must've got it at WalMart or something. A good number of us flipped them off and they sped away honking. Then 2 other cars had a little wreck, but they didn't stop. They just drove off.
Then finally a pickup with these two fat, white, drunk dudes stops and asks what we're waiting for (they stopped right in front of where my brother and I were standing). The one with his window down is like "Nintendo? That's what you're out here for?" Some of the curb campers said "YEA!" and he was like "Don't you have anything better to do with your time?" I said "Obviously you don't either. Why don't you get in line with us?" and he's like "I have a life!" and I said (quoting Bill Gates) "You should be nice to nerds, you'll end up working for us one day!" so he says "You all ain't ever gonna get any p***y if all you care about's Nintendo!", and I said "What are talking about man? I got Princess Peach at home!"
Then they drove off laughing and I yelled "What else do you need when you've got tentacle hentai?". This tent full of asian dudes were dying laughing. Yea, I just owned those dudes. By then, the parking lot was pretty much empty and I was getting cold, so I wished my brother luck and came home.
Got any funny camping stories? (They don't have to be about waiting for a game console)
I've got just too many stories...
Alright, once I was camping and my friend was wearing his combats, and decided to not change before he went to bed (stupid!). He woke up the next day and he realized he had left butter in his pocket, and it was EVERYWHERE. It was hilarious.
At a different camp, he repeated this stunt with a banana.
Another time, it was an extremely cold camp (-29 degrees c) and we had built our own shelters (mine was nice and warm) and someone had their sleeping bag (with their feet in it) sticking out of their shelter (so cold...). It was funny to everyone but him.
On various occasions we have blown up (I mean literally blown up) stoves and lanterns. Good fun.
Too lazy to tell more for now...
