Camp Slogan


Recommended Posts

How can you have any pudding if you dont eat your meat?

that's my whole point, man. if you want the dessert you gotta earn it.

which leads me to a side rant in name calling. in my former life I was an athlete and I have fond memories of one particular lacrosse game my freshman year in high school. It was an away game and one kid on the other team was playing particularly dirty. At one point my dad stands up and shouts "throw that kid out, ref! He's a meatball!" In response, a lady from the home stands shouts "WHAT DID YOU CALL MY SON?!" and my father, bless his heart, turns to her direction and shouts back, "I said HE'S A MEEEEAAAAATBALLLL!"

Classic parental anger.

I was a swimmer for a number of years. One team had a guy on it that had an extremely flat face, so naturally his very sensitive teammates all called him Smashface.

For like 3 years in a row at the season ending invitational, he'd get up on the blocks for a race, and one of his teammates would get up in front of the team and they'd do the following cheer:

Guy: "Gimme a hammer!"

Team: "HAMMER!"

Guy: "Gimme a face!"

Team: "FACE!"

Guy: "Whaddaya Got?"

Team: "SMASHFACE!!"

Guy: "Louder!"

Team: "SMASHFACE!"

Guy: "Louder!"

Team: "SMASHFACE!"

Guy: "Louder!"

Team: "SMASHFACE!"

Naturally, by the guy's second event, all the other teams were joining in, screaming "Smashface".

I guess the '70s weren't all that kind to the mildly disfigured.

You would probably get shot for that now-a-days.

I guess I am alone in this, but I have always thought Marvin's camp slogans were teh stoopid. I hope they go with no slogan this year.

I have always found them stupid also, but you know one is coming.

Stupid, but by the same token....forgettable. Because as hard as I might I can't think of any beyond last years "Fight Back" and the classic "Keep Shoveling"

So what were the others?

I remember "Do your job" but I'm not real proud of the fact.

Bump...

Head coach Marvin Lewis annual Georgetown College mantra this trip is Work To Do, which is not only on T-Shirts but on a sign leading to the cafeteria. There is also a Strike First, Strike Fast, sign, which Lewis seems to have picked up from the Army and his USO trip to Afghanistan earlier this month.

Shamefully tweaked.......

Bump...

Head coach Marvin Lewis’ annual Georgetown College mantra this trip is “Be Careful What You Ask For,” which is not only on T-Shirts but on a sign leading to the cafeteria. There is also a “Nothing Cuts As Deeply As A Self Inflicted Wound,” sign, which Lewis seems to have picked up from the Army and his USO trip to Afghanistan earlier this month.
